    A blast to play either way, Infamous: Second Son's only detractor is its rigid morality (and floaty imprecise climbing mechanics). Let us swim in the muddied waters. [June 2014, p.55]

    Some games are so bad they're endearing. Rambo is not one of these. It's an insult to games and gamers alike. [May 2014, p.78]

    It may not be a traditional Thief game and the story may be awful but there's still some great stealth to be had. [May 2014, p.66]

    A well-paced, immersive RPG that is constantly challenging, but never impossible. [May 2014, p.59]

    Threes is the sort of game that exists purely to ruin your life, to make you regret ever buying your damn smart phone. [May 2014, p.83]

    A game for players who value gorgeous visuals above all else. [May 2014, p.83]

    Utterly generic but brilliant fun nevertheless. Shame about the perfunctory ending, though. [May 2014, p.74]

    An excellent combination of detailed combat mechanics, gripping progression, and well thought out pay-to-play options. [May 2014, p.72]

    It has enough depth and twisted charisma to make it worth your time. [May 2014, p.70]

    I hate Tropical Freeze, but I hate it for the right reasons. It's an invigorating hate: I really badly want to beat this game. And when I do, it will be oh so worth it. [May 2014, p.68]

    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]

    Fundamentally it's quite well designed. [Apr 2014, p.75]

    It's ambitious, but boring. [Apr 2014, p.74]

    A greedy, nasty piece of work, based on a broken economy scheme. [Apr 2014, p.74]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A beautifully presented retro game that proves less really can be more, but lacks any lasting appeal beyond the immense joys of local multiplayer. [Apr 2014, p.70]

    A bland entry to an already bloated array of games, Battle of Z fails to scratch that Dragon Ball itch that its predecessors managed to hit. [Apr 2014, p.68]

    Well written and charming but Broken Age plays it too safe to be particularly memorable. [Apr 2014, p.67]

    • 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]

    Despite being rough around the edges and extremely frustrating at times, Blackguards delivers an enjoyable balance of story and strategy. [Apr 2014, p.64]

    A fantastic combination of fantasy storytelling and RPG tactics. One hell of a debut from Stoic. [Apr 2014, p.62]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An enjoyable bed-and-bus time distraction that is perhaps just a sequel away from greatness. [Apr 2014, p.60]
    • Hyper Magazine
    • 63 Metascore

    Ambitious and enjoyable, but falters under its own weight. [Apr 2014, p.58]
