    What continues to impress on our second time playing through Treasure Tracker is the quality of the level design. The addition of stages based on worlds from Super Mario Odyssey is yet more evidence that these little dioramas are a rich format for creativity. [Issue#203, p.86]

    When it's all said and done it's difficult to escape the mindset that Earthfall has taken the template of a decade-old experience for inspiration and failed to replicate (or expand on) it in any meaningful way. [Issue#203, p.84]

    A fantastic reimagining of arcade racing. [Issue#203, p.83]

    Lego's 13-year-old series needs serious building. [Issue#203, p.81]

    For something light and enjoyable, we would certainly recommend it, but don't expect this one to reach down and really grab a hold of your soul. [Issue#203, p.78]

    Beautiful, but hampered by lackluster storytelling. [Issue#203, p.76]

    Moonlighter builds good will, even in the face of some of its design choices. The grind from lowly dungeoneer and shopkeeper to an adventurer in your own right is enjoyable and, thanks to the gorgeous pixel art, you won't want to take your eyes off it. [July 2018, p.82]

    Though Codemasters' dedication to the many details underneath the simple, blocky exterior, Onrush ends up being much more than just Overwatch for petrolheads. It's an innovative resurrection of the arcade racer. [July 2018, p.76]

    Bright, intriguing, but lacking depth. [July 2018, p.74]

    While its story doesn't quite have the emotional heft it could have had with more character development, it nonetheless gives players a drive, and a reason to persist through a harsh world. [July 2018, p.73]

    Vampyr has a bold and ambitious concept at its heart, but the execution is sorely lacking, so while it may be packed with good intentions, it's not really worth the effort. [July 2018, p.68]

    State of Decay 2 falls short of its promise, instead offering the kind of brainless, repetitive experience that turns you into a de facto zombie. [Issue#201, p.80]
