Bayonetta 2 improves on the Fast-paced action of the original and adding several new weapons and new mechanics, such as umbra cilmax.

Not happy in just making a decent non-tiled turn based strategy combat, Divinity:Original Sin also lets you have way more fun and options by making your different elements actually interact. Oil and fire, water and electricity. All in real time, no need for special "combat" areas.

Shortening the gap between Blood Dragon's madness and 3's realism to a cat's-arse tightness, Far Cry 4 was a huge place with astonishing details and the same reliable ubisoft shooter 'feel' to be taken into new corners of Kyrat on a number of different fronts. Including elephants.

As organic and fun as some of the series' best entires, Metal Gear went open world with confidence, assuring use that response controls and tight mechanics can be relied upon in next year's larger adventure.

Not much to discuss, it's a tightly made platformer with several mechanics we are used to and it works perfectly. The shovel works as a proper shovel: digs, counter magicballs, allows you to down thrust. It's just a joy to play.

Even though it's mostly a watered down Tony hawk in terms of grinding mechanics, Sunset Overdrive exectuets it really well and also adding smooth gun and crowbar combat to the mix.

Improving even further on the smash gameplay, Smash 4 takes away the hated "tripping" system from brawl and tries to close itself back to Melee's gameplay.

Takes the addictive formula from the original, and adds much more creating an incredibly replayable experience.

Being able to blow up nazis hasn't felt this good in a long time.
