Tonally schizophrenic, yet still one of the more fascinating game experiences ever made.

Devastation leverages the Transformers license masterfully and delivers tight, satisfying action with incredible flair. Honestly, I had fun just driving around trying to do donuts, and at one point, I randomly picked up a taxi and threw it over a building just for laughs. That's pretty great. And when that perfect rockin' soundtrack kicks in as you face off against Megatron, that's even better.

CD Projekt Red's first paid expansion is well worth the return to the Northern Kingdoms.

Agreement—

Rising Tide brings other content to Beyond Earth as well, from new factions to new planet types. But these additions pale in comparison to the systemic changes Firaxis has made. There are bothersome issues with the new diplomacy approach, and some of these mechanics are too obfuscated to call excellent. But Rising Tide encourages new ways of thinking, and lends character to a very impersonal subject. That old Civilization mantra still echoes, just like it used to: One more turn.

Grand Ages: Medieval encourages you to conquer by controlling trade routes and strong-arming the economy instead resorting to military force.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is riddled with glitches and offers almost nothing new to longtime fans of the series.

Board gaming come to life, with none of the missing pieces.

Agreement—

Rock Band 4 recaptures the unadulterated gratification that made the series such a hit half a decade ago, but mainly because it's a relatively unchanged, repackaged Rock Band 2. A lack of content and general stagnation hold this particular iteration of Rock Band back, but new ideas like Freestyle Solos genuinely enhance the core experience, which remains a sincere and joyful celebration of music.

City life after the sun goes down is the focus of After Dark, an expansion for Cities: Skylines that adds nightlife and other new features to the reigning champion of city builders.

The Beginner's Guide is a fascinating journey into the thoughts and processes involved in the creation of a video game, and the people that make them.

With Uncharted 2 and 3, though, Naughty Dog transcended Drake's own small beginnings. The Nathan Drake Collection is a firsthand account of Naughty Dog's growth as a storyteller, and this collection is the best way to relive that history, and witness its transformation up close.

NBA 2K16 injects the series with powerful new mechanics, but without proper guidance, it leaves training up to you.

Dropsy is a genuine and somber adventure about a creepy clown that exceeds its quirky premise in the most meaningful way.

LEGO Dimensions' franchise mash-ups provide many wonderful moments, and it works equally well as a toy and a game.
