    Heart of the Swarm is ScarCraft made better. Welcoming to newcomers, but never dumbed-down, the franchise at its best. [June 2013, p.66]

    It's a simple idea executed well, even if it doesn't quite burrow into your brain the way the best puzzle games do. [Apr 2014, p.75]

    More of the same, but it's not broke and doesn't need fixing. [Feb 2014, p.84]

    Dialo III feels more at home on console than it did on PC, but not in the least bit "dumbed down." [Nov 2013, p.56]

    A compelling, down and dirty bullet basket populated by real characters and visceral gunplay. [July 2012, p.55]

    In a world of 200 hour RPG epics, it’s nice to have something so focused on a core experience. There’s depth here for those seeking it, or you can just make visitors cringe by showing them all the bone-breakers and finishers. Look, Nanna, this guy gets his spine ripped out through his mouth.

    Not quite a masterpiece - but still pretty special. Ni no Kuni has the depth and artistic credibility to justify the partnership with Studio Ghibli. [March 2013, p.69]
