As with each Smash game, the controls are simple and easy to pick up. There are various controllers that may be used to play, though they all follow the same very simplistic format which is why any gamer can start playing quite well within just a few hours. The controls are perfectly responsive, and it is possible to map the controls to different buttons if desired.

Far Cry 4 has a lot going on, and — as with its predecessors — it prides itself in being an exceedingly immersive hands-on experience. Whether you are running through the brush trying to avoid a falcon pecking at your neck or riding an elephant through an enemy convoy, the controls are precise and provide immediate onscreen feedback.

There are things to like about The Dark Below, but it ultimately feels thin on meaningful content — this is especially true if you don’t take part in one or more aspects of the game since additions are sprinkled throughout the campaign, vanguard and crucible. Here’s hoping March’s House of Wolves offers more bang for your buck.

If you’ve ever played the board game Monopoly or have watched someone play it, this will be pretty easy to pick up. Players pick a token (classic tokens, plus a bunny flying on a fire extinguisher), roll the dice and move around the board.

While all the puzzles and temples can be completed alone, Temple of Osiris is meant to be played with other people (it supports up to four). That means the game actively changes things up in terms of layout so that teamwork is a necessity. For instance, in single player, Lara may be able to grapple over a chasm to advance. In multiplayer, she’ll no longer be able to reach the other side alone. Instead, her grapple becomes a tight rope that another player can walk across.

As Tales of Hearts R goes on, you receive a larger amount of combat options to use as well as more characters to control. The combat gets pretty addicting, especially since the system allows a pleasant amount of customization between how you link your moves together as well as with your partner. This puts experimenting with new combos as a main feature of the game, with new options to tinker with coming at a decent pace, which usually kept it interesting.

Ultimate comes with all the bells and whistles we’ve become accustomed to in modern installments of Tetris: t-spins, the hold box, the ghost and a handful of game modes. Classics like Marathon, Sprint and Battle make appearances, though a few others are available to unlock. Some of these, like Endless, are incredibly difficult to unlock, requiring you to finish the highest level on Marathon. One of our personal favourites is Rotation Lock, which eliminates the ability to spin Tetriminos. It’s frickin’ hard.
