    Ambitious and intriguing, but fails to live up to its potential. [Issue#254, p.50]

    An ambitious if repetitive combination of shooter and loot based ARPG. A boost in loot drop frequency could definitely boost the fun/score. [Issue#254, p.47]

    While Rhythm of Fighters isn't the best in the genre it is one of the most generous, offering plenty of content for your $1.19 and reasonably priced DLC. [Issue#253, p.81]

    • 80 Critic Score
    It's more over the top aesthetically than it is in terms of mechanics. [Issue#253, p.81]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 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]

    The more you play, the more you realise that this is an extremely simplified take on Crazy Taxi. [Issue#253, p.80]

    80 Days successfully condenses a journey of epic scale into a simple interface. [Issue#253, p.80]

    • 70 Critic Score
    Firefall is a very well-constructed MMO framework that lacks a heart, soul or reason to return. [Issue#253, p.76]

    • 80 Critic Score
    The two-player training mode and 3v3 team battles function exactly as advertised. [Issue#253, p.75]
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Enjoyable until unlocks become a micro-transaction resisting grind. [Issue#253, p.74]

    The combat system is far more nuanced than you would usually expect in a platformer. [Issue#253, p.72]

    Deeply disappointing in just about every way. [Issue#253, p.70]

    • 90 Critic Score
    This is the best version of Diablo III to date. It feels right, it's hugely addictive and it has the ability to dilate local spacetime like a good ARPG should. [Issue#253, p.65]

    It's forceful, gotta give it that. [Issue#251, p.82]

    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]

    • 90 Critic Score
    Artfully drawn, confronting and informative this is a different look at war, its consequences and it isn't afraid to put you though the wringer. Play it. [Issue#251, p.77]

    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Combines the best aspects of old-school RPG approach and modern mechanics. [Issue#251, p.76]

    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite tense moments and imaginative worlds, Among the Sleep doesn't quite live up to the potential of its unique concept. [Issue#251, p.74]

    • 50 Critic Score
    Visually impressive but hampered by overly complex controls and a fighting engine that captures few of the intricacies of MMA. [Issue#251, p.71]

    This is fairly unobtrusive for a free to play game, but you might as well stick with Trials Frontier. [Issue#250, p.74]

    • 70 Critic Score
    The platforming here is simple, but also pleasantly familiar. [Issue#250, p.74]

    A bit abstruse, but beautiful and engaging nonetheless. [Issue#250, p.69]

    A better game overall than its predecessors, but not quite the revolution we were hoping for. [Issue#250, p.66]

    Demon Gaze offers a simple yet addicting handheld RPG experience, distracted only by its flirty anime desires. [Issue#250, p.62]
