    An ok campaign with potentially great co-op marred by uninspired design, poor storytelling and glitches. [June 2012, p.76]

    The game fares quite a bit better on Steam. [June 2012, p.29]

    We found matches to be a little hectic, with very little teamwork going on. [May 2012, p.75]

    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A pleasant but rote and slightly bland RPG with a handful of fine ideas that aren't pushed enough. [Oct 2013, p.68]

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

    It's time to stop treading water and take some freaking chances already. [Oct 2013, p.72]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The game sort of falls apart in combat. [Oct 2013, p.78]

    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A game that relies on bothersome microtransactions and generally boring action. [Oct 2013, p.78]

    If more maps and game modes are released, War of the Roses could turn into quite a niche time sink. Whether such hope is worth gambling $29.99 US on is up to you. [Dec 2012]

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

    It's fine, but forgettable. [Feb 2013, p.31]

    Not as bad as the wost Aliens games, yet it's also not in the same league as the very best, leaving ACM to meandering in the space system of mediocrity. [Apr 2013, p.69]

    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Far from Ron Gilbert or Double Fine's best, but The Cave manages to deliver just enough satisfaction to avoid disaster. [Apr 2013, p.74]

    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's not bad, but Pangolin also isn't very compelling. [Apr 2013, p.23]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An engaging story and some good core mechanics hampered by some ugly design and repetitive, simplistic combat. [Jan 2014, p.66]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A bloated, unwieldy mess. A game whose lofty ambitions are only matched by the gravity of its failures. Well, at least it is pretty. [Nov 2013, p.64]

    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A decent game, but it lacks the depth to be anything more than a time filler. [Aug 2013, p.70]

    Mario Party 10 holds few surprises, but still offers great moments if you spread them out enough.

    Fantastic value for money, but not actually a great racer. [Nov 2013, p.79]

    Fun rhythm mini-games, but it can't match up against the various games it emulates. [July 2012, p.70]

    • 60 Critic Score
    You need to finish the game in one sitting, which isn't a huge task, but it's an unnecessary burden. [Nov 2013, p.80]

    Three strikes and you're out. [Apr 2014, p.55]

    The real trouble with Risen 2 is that it doesn't really do anything particularly right. [July 2012, p.72]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's not a bad game, but it's not one I'm liable to remember in six months either. [Nov 2013, p.81]

    • 60 Critic Score
    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]

    Better than expected - but still not that great. [Aug 2012, p.81]

    Brilliant presentation, flawed execution. Add [10 or 20 points] if you like Jojo's. [Issue#249, p.68]

    • 69 Metascore

    The sort of game where the micromanagement is more exciting than the actual action. [June 2014, p.78]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's a game you'll often stumble through like a botched hit. [Issue#249, p.77]
