Steep is an enjoyable open-world game that excels in exploration but suffers from finicky controls and repetitive challenges.

Let It Die's outrageously weird sense of style help it overcome some of its flaws, but only for so long.

Though much too easy, Dead Rising 4 is sandboxy zombie-killing adventure that recaptures the series' fun.

Silence is a gorgeous point-and-click adventure that usually manages to make up for its lack of challenging puzzles with powerful imagery and emotion.

The dwarves have their day in a fantasy RPG focused on the diminutive warrior race.

Tyranny takes the old Infinity Engine RPG formula and makes it feel fresh, exciting, and more manageable.

This Special Edition recaptures and beautifies the legendary RPG, but leaves room for an even-more-special edition.

A serviceable colonization sim that could use a bit more grease in its gears.

An energetic shoot 'n' loot with great melee and ranged combat, co-op, and a pile of dirty jokes.

More of a multiplayer shooter than an MMO, Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade suffers from balance and technical issues.

WoW is back at the top of the MMO game.

A fun, serviceable update to the 4X legend.

Grow Up doesn't feel terribly different from Grow Home other than its larger world, but its main achievement is to strengthen some of its predecessor's weak points. The drive to climb to the top of everything remains, but here it's improved on with new methods of climbing and flying, and the option to toss down plants that serve as tools for any situation. The camera sometimes complicates this, but not enough to bury the charm of the original.

A beautiful JRPG that captures the spirit of the genre's early hits while playing things a tad too safely.

A serviceable JPRG marred by uneven production values and poor A.I.
