My opinion from 2013 remains relatively unchanged—Super Mario 3D World is a fun and buttery smooth, if a bit generic experience as far as Mario games go.

Playing Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption is like curling up in front of a fire with a good book: you give yourself to the story. Bugs and obtuse puzzles aren't enough to detract from what's a unique and thoroughly entertaining experience.

Destruction AllStars is a fantastic PlayStation Plus offering with a ton of fun to be had. Two of its game modes are fantastic fun, and it's characters are vibrant and full of life. The microtransactions and lack of content make it a hard sell if it weren't for it being free right now, but it'll hopefully be adjusted in the future.

Bonkies offers families and friends a hilarious way of playing together through intense cooperation set in the vast unexplored unknown of space. The relaxing background music adds to the overall light-hearted nature of the game, but that’s not to say you can take it easy.
