Crusader Kings 2
If you want a different game, with a different set of goals other than blowing stuff up with a hand grenade, this is it. (I am reliably informed there were no hand grenades in the battle of Hastings).

FTL: Faster Than Light
I haven't played many space games like this before, but even I know there is a severe lack of good games in this genre, and as hard as I do find the game, there is something about it that keeps me going back time after time.

Blood Bowl: Chaos & Legendary Edition
If you want to have a real serious strategic game, this probably won't be your cup of tea, but if you're looking for a slightly frustrating, monster filled, chuckle worthy game then you could give it a try, because honestly, once you get the hang of things, it is a LOT of fun!

Tomb Raider
You play as Lara Croft - and unless you have been living in a tomb yourself then you will know how much of an icon to the video game world she truly is. The original Tomb Raider released in 1996 - was a forefront title for the Sony Playstation as well the Sega Saturn and PC, and was received very well.

Dawnstar
In Dawnstar you take on the role of a brash, hot-shot ace pilot and partner with a gruff old timer to take on the space mafia. It’s all set to detective story blues and set against the backdrop of sprawling space colonies. Wait. I’ve seen this somewhere. Ah, of course. Cowboy Bebop. While the game’s styling is without question a direct homage to the pinnacle of anime storytelling, the comparisons end at a superficial level. From there you are looking at a space combat game, created by indie developer Wraith Entertainment and based around upgrades and milkrun missions.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent
This game when you first open it, it immediately hits you that it is going to be a creepy game from the get go, and I at first welcomed this with open arms! I wanted to feel scared and feel like a child watching Child's Play for the first time.

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
One thing that can not go without a ton of praise is the amazing quality of art style in this game. It really looks like they ripped the animation straight out of a Studio Ghibli film.

Planetside 2
Planetside 2 is one such game, a game with a creative idea that I love and a developer/community relationship that puts most publishers to shame, but despite committing a lot of time trying to love it (and by god I tried) I still cannot highly recommend this game.
TGR: Matthew James Vernall | Read more...
Spec Ops: The Line
The game has a great setting in Dubai, and this helped the game look wonderful throughout the game, which was odd because the game is honestly brutal at times, and a lot of the time I felt like I was the bad guy.

Lord of the Rings Online
Overall I believe that despite my misgivings about micro transactions that are prevalent in this game, it is a solid MMO. It does everything it should do, provides the player with the real meat of the Lore of the novels as well as allowing them to forge paths of their own.

Dungeon crawlers are deceptive animals. They seem so easy to create. Throw in some randomly generated maps, some creepy baddies, several truck loads of loot and a dash of lore and voilà, you have a good dungeon crawler, right?

Freeplay: League of Legends
I’ve referred to LoL as the greatest Marmite game available, as you either love it, or hate it. There are some who just don’t enjoy the gameplay, who don’t want to commit the time needed to enjoy the game properly and who can’t soldier through those early games of confusion.

DmC
The hack and slash game play is still there, but this time it’s had a complete overhaul, making the game intuitive and fluid enough for it to even be considered fun! There I said it, DmC is fun! It may not be the DMC you’re used to, but it’s a fun game... and after all is that not part of the charm of video games in the first place?
