Driveclub
"It's the online Club mode in which Driveclub really comes to life, and betters the competition with the shared team-based experience."
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
"By neglecting some of the distingushing characteristics of the video game medium The Vanishing of Ethan Carter breaks new ground."

Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments
"Despite a few issues, our time spent with Holmes was entertaining enough, and the different cases managed to maintain a level of tension throughout."
Text: Martin Eiser
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
"This is easily the best Lord of the Rings game released in the last decade."
Text: Bengt Lemne
FIFA 15
"FIFA 15 is a good game, make no mistake, it's just not a great game; it looks like we're going to have to wait at least another year for that."
Text: Mike Holmes
Destiny
'But what we have on disc feels like the opening chapter of a larger game in which the best is yet to come. We're left not just wanting more, but expecting better."
Text: Gillen McAllister & Mike Holmes
Anomaly 2
"It's challenging, and if you have friends with a similar taste in games, the multiplayer matches can be very entertaining."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Infamous: First Light
We have returned to Seattle for a darker story starring the neon powered Fetch.
Surgeon Simulator: A&E Anniversary Edition
"Even though the first couple of hours are hilarity incarnate, Surgeon Simulator never manages to become anything more than an extended party trick."
Madden NFL 15
Last year's Madden wasn't all it could have been, but this year the series truly makes the leap to new-gen consoles.

Metro Redux

Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition
"If you've got the old-gen version of Diablo III then there's just about enough to make it worth a return visit, though you may want to wait until the price drops."
Text: Mike Holmes
Oddworld: New'n'Tasty
The Mudokon with the pony tail and sewn shut mouth returns. Is it the remake the franchise deserves or are we in for a disappointment?
Text: Jonathan Björklund
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark
"It's a solid if unspectacular game, low on content and complexity, but ultimately playable enough for it not to be a write-off."
Text: Mike Holmes
MotoGP 14
"Even if your PS4 is screaming for a racing game, there's no compelling argument for giving MotoGP 14 a closer look."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
Sniper Elite 3
"While the campaign is shorter than before, Rebellion has done a decent job of fleshing out the game as a whole."
Text: Mike Holmes
Valiant Hearts: The Great War
"Imagine if the Beano or Dandy devoted themselves to realistic World War I comic strips. There's no punches pulled here, and certain sub-chapters are hard to stomach."
Text: Gillen McAllister
EA Sports UFC
"In the end, this is a pale copy of UFC Undisputed 2010, and lacks the fine polish, personality and balanced game modes of that title."
Tropico 5
El Presidente returns to rule his loyal subjects, but there is plenty of new stuff to take in with the latest entry in the Tropico franchise.
Text: Tobias Garsten
Watch Dogs
A new IP that's very familiar.

Wolfenstein: The New Order
"Machine Games hasn't crafted the perfect shooter, but they've given it a good go and the results are decent."
Text: Mike Holmes
Transistor
"It's beautiful, memorable, highly replayable, deep, stellar from a sound perspective, but ultimately falls just short of the high bar set by Bastion."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Bound by Flame
"In the end, and surprisingly after those first few hours, Spiders manages to deliver a compelling story; enough to raise our verdict a couple of notches from our original impression."
Text: Martin Eiser
Octodad: Dadliest Catch
It's easy to see why this game so quickly earned its pledge amount on Kickstarter.
Daylight
"You'll have to make the call whether the imperfect result of an interesting idea is worth the money."
Text: Stefan Briesenick
Child of Light
It's Final Fantasy meets Dr. Seuss as Ubisoft delivers one of the best titles of 2014 with the dream-like Child of Light.
Text: Bengt Lemne
Trials Fusion
"The bike balancing is still perfect, tracks the right side of tricky, the worlds rich in detail. And we'll go against popular consensus - the music's brilliant."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Mercenary Kings
"It could have been a classic, but instead we're left with what's merely a solid experience."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Lego The Hobbit
After releasing The Lord of the Rings in Lego, it's only natural that The Hobbit is given the same treatment. We've gone on an adventure with Bilbo and his friends.
Text: Oliver Thulin
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends
"If you've skipped a couple of entries it's the ideal place to jump back in. While we do long for Omega Force to radically innovate the concept, there's no denying the depth on offer here."
Text: Bengt Lemne
TowerFall Ascension
"There's single player distractions if you need them, but at the heart of it sits a fantastic multiplayer shooter."
Text: Mike Holmes
Infamous: Second Son
"Sure, it would have been better with more varied missions, but ultimately Infamous: Second Son lives up to and surpasses its predecessors."

Jonas Mäki
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
"For a game of this size we'd have needed more content, or a much lower price point, to make this a recommended must buy. Have some patience, and wait until The Phantom Pain releases."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition
"The hordes of zombies are nearly infinite, and luckily the same can be said of the ammunition for your standard gun."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Thief
"Yes, it's got issues, and no, it's not perfect, but underneath some suffocating design decisions is a really solid game."
Text: Mike Holmes
Strider
Capcom's cyber-ninja returns on digital.
Text: Stefan Briesenick
The Lego Movie Videogame
"It's hard not to be excited by this title, one that feels so fresh compared to past titles and is the best take on a movie tie-in we've seen in a while."
Text: Lee West
Don't Starve: Console Edition
Winter is coming and a straw hat won't keep you warm.
Text: Bengt Lemne
Doki-Doki Universe
"The most fascinating part of the experience isn't QT3 or the animations, but instead the many ways in which the game tries to find out about you - the player holding the controller."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Freedom Cry
"War as entertainment is something that we've acclimatised to through multiple generations and mediums. Prisoners of war and human trafficking however, is a different issue entirely."
Text: Gillen McAllister
FIFA 14: Next Gen
"FIFA 14 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is not a true next-gen FIFA, however, it is a fantastic football game."
Need for Speed: Rivals
"It borrows from Most Wanted, which borrowed from Hot Pursuit, which takes a lot from Burnout Paradise. All in all it's hard to shake the feeling of déjà vu."
Text: Thomas Blichfeldt
Resogun
"Gorgeous and complex, Housemarque's PS4 launch shooter is a joy to behold."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Contrast
"If you're willing to accede to the twitchy controls and prefer a mystery to a clear answer, then Contrast is worth experiencing."
Text: Gillen McAllister
Knack
"Knack isn't a bad game, but it doesn't really inspire you either."
Lego Marvel Super Heroes
"If you have never had much time for the Lego games before now, this one won't change your mind. But if you know the difference between Dormammu and Deadpool, you'll be right at home here."
Text: Nick Cowen
Killzone: Shadow Fall
"Killzone: Shadow Fall ends up being a nice side attraction that, despite a few frustrating elements, shows what PlayStation 4 is capable of."
Call of Duty: Ghosts
"It's hard to find something else that offers so much to the player. Ghosts is the complete package."
Text: Christian Gaca
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
"The world is your playground and you can do as you please in it."
Text: Rasmus Lund-Hansen
Battlefield 4
"No one will leave this game disappointed, unless your focus is the single-player mode."
