LEGO Star Wars III : The Clone Wars

LEGO Star Wars III is essentially The Clone Wars movie and TV series wrapped up in a bundle. Graphically it's a massive improvement over The Complete Saga, some levels even feature you having control over an army and building structures (not that complicated or hard, but a nice change of pace). Levels felt more exciting and the space levels were a particular highlight for me, everything felt polished but I still feel like Complete Saga had more going for it. That's not to say Clone Wars is bad, it's just that if you had to pick one I'd go for The Complete Saga as it's a better package.

LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga

The game that started it all, before LEGO Star Wars all we had were games like LEGO Island and LEGO Racers but along came this out of basically nowhere. This set the foundations for all LEGO recent LEGO titles, it's gameplay and humour were unique and set TT Games path for the future. All 6 Star Wars movies are included in this package, you have around 62 levels in total (6 per film, 20 bounty hunter levels and 6 bonus levels), a vast aray of characters and the ability to create Darth Vader with Princess Leia's bikini body. LEGO Star Wars - The Complete Saga to me will always be the title that started it all and it's got so many good moments in it that it still remains in my top 5 LEGO games to this day. It's not aged great though, graphically it's dated but gameplay still holds up - despite a couple issues that got fixed in later LEGO titles, but it's a great way to experience the Star Wars experience and a fantastic way to get keep the entire family entertained.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The game hardly needs an introduction, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is quite simply one of the biggest RPG's of recent years. Set in a fantasy world with Dragons, Giants, Elves, Dwarves and more, you pick your hero from a set of races and then you set out to stop an evil Dragon that's been corrupting things. There is so much to do in this game, if you explore every inch of the world it might take you a long time, but in doing so you'll get a sense of wonder as you travel from place to place. You also get the ability to use powerful "shouts", these shouts may allow you to push enemies, defend yourself with dragon armour, slow time, use fire and so much more. Leveling up you have a choice on where to place points, perhaps you'd like to have more mana or a higher lockpicking skill. The story is a gripping tale, from the very first time you encounter a dragon to the last battle with your nemesis, it's a great game that should be experienced by all.

Pick it up here for 50% off or grab the Legendary Edition for 40% off.

As a reminder - If anyone owns The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim + all the DLC (or Legendary Edition) they will get a free version of the remastered version that is out on October 28th for PC!

Dishonored

Dishonored is a stealth action game, you play as Corvo Attano who is framed for a murder he did not commit. The game takes place in Dunwall, an industrial city where technology and otherworldly forces coexist. Eventually you find yourself getting powers which allow you to climb up walls, possess characters, send a deadly swarm of rats to devour a corpse and more. Levels are designed so you can focus on either Stealth or a direct approach, you get a ranking for the way you finish a mission and might have side objectives to complete. Design is quite a marvel to admire, the city feels alive and you feel apart of that world. This is one of those games I found myself caught up enjoying every moment I played it, there is so much to do and you can play the levels a few times to try things a new way, you even have challenges for extra replay. If you enjoy Stealth games or action games you'll have a great time with this.

Get Dishonored for 40% off or Dishonored - Definitive Edition for 34% off.

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham

This was created by the same guys who did LEGO Batman 2 and LEGO Marvel and it shows in the quality, the story follows on from LEGO Batman 2 but only a small link between the two and once again has the Justice League featured alongside Batman and Robin trying to beat Brainiac. The difference between this and LEGO Batman 2/LEGO Marvel is that it takes place on several hub worlds and it doesn't feel as connected as the previous games, that aside it has some wonderful moments (including an awesome ending and a level involving 60's Batman), Voice acting is superb too, they have cameos from Adam West, Conan, Stephen Amell and more. If you're a LEGO fan you will enjoy this, the season pass is not amazing, 6 packs with 1 level and some characters - each level is around 10 minutes long with the best one being the Arrow DLC. You also have a couple packs that are NOT part of the Season Pass, these are all characters/vehicles and feature no levels. There is also 2 Free packs, first is Rainbow Rider and the other is Heroines and Villainesses Character Pack (just released!). Lastly, you have a huge amount of Characters in this game - every DC character you could think of is in this. I still feel this game lacks a little bit of what made LEGO Batman 2 and LEGO Marvel great but it's still up there as a decent LEGO title.

Rayman Legends

This was a surprise hit, I had never really played a Rayman title before and was surprised by the way the game approached platforming. Every level came alive and it felt at times like playing an animated movie, the highlight comes from the music inspired levels which are based on popular songs such as Eye of the Tiger, Black Betty and more. These levels are so much fun to do with a real sense of every note being linked to every jump or punch your character pulls off, it's a truly unique thing that I'd never seen in a game before - combining platforming and music was a stroke of genius. The game packs so much content with over 120 levels (including about 40 remastered levels from Rayman Origins), plenty of challenges to compete with players around globe to local fun in some fun minigames like football.

It's one of the best platformers ever made and it's fun for all ages, great in coop as a family game or if you're by yourself that's ok as well!

Grab Rayman Legends or Rayman Origins for 75% off each, today only!

LEGO MARVEL: Super Heroes

Save the best to last? That's what I have done, this is without a doubt in my mind the best LEGO game to date. Everything is here, a huge list of characters (even some you might not know about), a wide open New York with the Shield Helicarrier above, crazy side mission levels narrated by Deadpool (Nolan North), races, a compelling story and great level design. This is a dream for any LEGO/Marvel fan, if you enjoy any of those then you should pick this up.

Words are short, but the recommendation doesn't require much else. It's quite simply the best LEGO game out there right now for newcomers and veterans to the series.
