    The DLC offers three missions (one of which is simply awful) and falls short of the captivating, emotional story from Last Light. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.73]

    The game is so repetitive that a couple of hours offered by the single player campaign is too much. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.73]

    It looks like an early prototype of a PS2 game. Mentioning Unearthed and Uncharted in one sentence is like comparing a preschool kiddie bike to Harley Sportster. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.72]

    It’s hard not to notice that free World of Warcraft patches offer you just a bit less content than Rise of the Hutt Cartel. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.71]

    It’s hard to find anything original in Tales of Xillia and I’ve seen its every element done better elsewhere. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.70]

    I played dozens of point’n’click games over the years and The Dream Machine might be the best of them all. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.68]

    There are some mildly satisfying moments in Dark, but most of the time you’re stuck between boredom and frustration. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.67]

    A pleasant trip down memory lane, but not the one you absolutely need to take. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.66]

    • 60 Critic Score
    When Rise of the Triad is just a shooter, it’s a great shooter. Unfortunately it also tries to be a first-person platformer and these segments are awful. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.64]

    No doubt one of the most interesting online shooters available. Saying PayDay 2 is absorbing is like stating that Godzilla is large. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.62]

    The game’s topic, visuals and gameplay mechanics might seem off-putting, but Papers, Please is a must-play for everyone who values games with a message or indie games in general. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.61]

    Besides mildly satisfying swordplay (Grasshopper failed to come up with a really good combat system) Killer is Dead offered me nothing that could raise my blood pressure. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.60]

    Neither weak voice acting nor outdated visuals managed to ruin this skilful homage to Chandler. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.59]

    The Raven’s story needs time to accelerate, but when it did, it left me waiting for the next episode. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.58]

    Takes inspiration from Mass Effects, but offers a richer, more tactical combat. Usually there’s a reason for scheduling a game release for the slow summer season, but The Bureau turned out to be a really good game. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.56]

    There’s no passion in this game, no risk, no surprises. It’s a product developed by skilled specialists, not by visionaries. It offers decent fun but does not leave a mark. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.52]

    Every writer in the game industry should learn from Harebrained Schemes. It’s been a really long time since I was following a game’s story with such pleasure. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.50]

    Ironically Lost Planet 3 lacks what the developer has in its name – a spark. It’s a solid but generic shooter that you will forget quickly. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.48]

    Looks like Larian Studios had a lot of ideas regarding gameplay but instead of choosing the best one they decided to utilise all of them. As a result Dragon Commander was stitched together from elements that don’t necessary fit each other. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.46]

    Let’s put it plainly: if you don’t play Saints Row IV, it means you hate having fun. [CD-Action 10/2013, p.40]

    An interesting puzzle game that really makes you think hard now and then. [CD-Action 09/2013, p.71]

    Despite the simplicity of the combat system it’s hard to quit this game. [CD-Action 09/2013, p.71]

    • 77 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The game’s story is a poor joke, but DotP 2014 is a perfect choice for anyone who wants to get into Magic: The Gathering and see what it’s all about. [CD-Action 09/2013, p.70]

    I just couldn’t get away from this simple platformer – it gave me a clinical just-one-more-attempt syndrome. [CD-Action 09/2013, p.69]

    Works better in small doses on touchscreen. After a couple of hours on PC it becomes repetitive and boring. [CD-Action 09/2013, p.69]

    10 dollars spent on Gunpoint is 10 dollars well spent. [CD-Action 09/2013, p.68]

    Despite erratic physics system Storm does a really decent job as a puzzle game, plus it is unique and suitable for the whole family. [CD-Action 09/2013, p.67]

    400 Days does exactly what a good TV pilot episode should do – catches your interest. [CD-Action 09/2013, p.67]

    If you’re not as patient as a saint, multitude of bugs and defects make playing Jack Keane 2 a tough experience. [CD-Action 09/2013, p.66]

    You can write books about Mortal Kombat, but you can also sum up Komplete Edition with one sentence: it’s the best fighting game available on PC. [CD-Action 09/2013, p.65]
