    Sadly the simplified physics model makes driving a chore, even if it's still fun for the occasional quick hoot around the track. [Issue#251, p.78]

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

    The character is too niche for broad appeal, but if you're a fan of the comics you should have a good time. [Sept 2013, p.71]

    Online multiplayer is a nice touch. [March 2013, p.27]

    It's a novelty, really, but a moderately effective one. [May 2014, p.82]

    Acquire's joyously unusual samurai series, totally unmade by some seriously questionable gameplay tweaks. [Jan 2013, p.76]

    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An ambitious attempt at making a simple but compelling game, hampered by a device that's not quite up for it. [Jan 2013, p.81]

    Every single thing that Binary Domain offers has already been done, and done better elsewhere. [June 2012, p.66]

    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's a solid little shooter, but there are so many different ways to shoot people online now that it's hard to get excited at a game like this one. [May 2012, p.60]

    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This is an inoffensive little game with little to say about celebrity and which features monetisation strategy that damages the gameplay model. [Issue#253, p.80]

    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Crappy in places, but frequently very fun. You might hate yourself for not hating it. [June 2012, p.74]

    This is conceptually cool, as you man helicopters, firefighters, and other units all at once, but also quite dull. [Dec 2012, p.29]

    There's an interesting idea at the core of Of Orcs and Men, but the muddled delivery and presentation make it very forgettable. [Dec 2012]

    A functional but forgettable budget title featuring clarinet solos and wiseguys. Wait for Steam sale. [Apr 2013, p.78]

    • 50 Critic Score
    Not a good game, but it tries so hard to please it's kind of adorable. [Aug 2013, p.74]

    This one just frustrated us. [Apr 2013, p.23]

    It's held back by its own fighting system. [Aug 2013, p.82]

    • 75 Metascore

    Quite frustrating and difficult to get into. It doesn't have the 'just one more go' pull these games need. [Aug 2013, p.82]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Too many ideas without nearly enough follow through. [Jan 2014, p.65]

    There's just no denying that Blackgate is subpar. [Jan 2014, p.70]

    There doesn't ever seem to be any real impact of the player's decisions, actions or failures. [Jan 2014, p.76]

    The one thing that New Flashback has going for it is that it comes bundled with Better Flashback, which you can access via the main menu. [Nov 2013, p.66]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 72 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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]

    Lost Planet 3 does a decent job telling its story, but absolutely average, unimaginative gameplay lets it down. [Nov 2013, p.72]

    • 50 Critic Score
    Suda 51's unique off-the-wall style comes at a price, with gameplay, polish and coherence left by the wayside. [Nov 2013, p.77]

    • 50 Critic Score
    In the end, it's basically FIFA 12 with only European countries available. And you already own FIFA 12. [Aug 2012, p.75]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 80 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A charming game, but ultimately not a very good one. [Nov 2013, p.80]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The main problem is there isn't any visual feedback of which to speak. [Aug 2012, p.79]

    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Sounds nice, though. [Aug 2012, p.31]
