High score focused mountain sliding is a perfect fit for the show. [March 2014, p.76]

Often very pleasurable, even if the main missions drag. [Issue#255, p.42]

Until the game can keep up with the player's creativity it's best enjoyed in short spurts. [March 2013, p.80]

It's fun, but not super addictive. [June 2012, p.29]

Seasonal faction war and unlock tiers provide depth. The small maps and limited movement will not appeal to some players, though, and the inclusion of cash-for-unlocks does not belong in a full-priced arcade title. [Oct 2012, p.53]

An excellent tutorial partially makes up for the tiny roster. [Feb 2014, p.68]

Good fun but rather slight. [Jan 2013, p.31]

A truly versatile play experience that should continue to grow. [Issue#254, p.64]

This is what we like to see from downloadable content. [Issue#254, p.68]

Despite the niggles and lack of meaningful exploration, Mirror of Fate is still quite enjoyable. [May 2013, p.77]

A mess of interesting ideas inexpertly implemented, resulting in a horribly generic action game that fails to live up to its promise. [Aug 2013, p.68]

Lacks a proper end game, but for the 12 odd hours it will take to finish the campaign is still a great deal of fun. [Aug 2013, p.66]

It's hard going, but worth the slog. [Nov 2012, p.66]

A fine attempt at something a bit different. [July 2013, p.85]

It's not all smooth sailing, but there's still some rich pirate booty to discover if you're up for it. [Nov 2013, p.70]

Definitely inspired by the Souls games, Lords of the Fallen still has enough brutal majesty to stand on its own. [Issue#255, p.66]

Brutal and decidedly old fashioned but definitely enjoyable if you had fond memories of gaming in the 90s. [Apr 2014, p.66]

Gorgeous to look at and listen to, but rather forgettable to play. [Issue#249, p.65]

Amazing audio, good looks, very average gameplay. [Issue#255, p.70]

Escape Plan is decidedly artful and will please fans of Limbo - perhaps not quite as tightly woven, but a quiet achiever for the launch of the PS Vita to be sure. [May 2012, p.78]

A walk, drive, and jump down a whole city of memory lanes, but don't expect any of them to take you anywhere new. [Dec 2012]

Cute and simple and easy as hell. [July 2013, p.85]

It's pulled off with verve. [Oct 2013, p.78]
