    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It’s still the same old imperfections holding it back, but that doesn’t stop Rome II being the best Total War so far – and one of the most accomplished strategy games of recent years.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Shallow, sexist, and largely nonsensical. The action is amongst Suda51’s best but it’s not leveraged in any way that justifies the failings of the rest of the game.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Unwanted and unnecessary, but despite the bland third person shooting there’s an unexpectedly light touch to the script that hints at other lost opportunities.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The best non-Mario platformer ever made and a stunning work of imagination, where the visuals, music, and gameplay all resonate in perfect harmony.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Unsophisticated and sloppily made but there’s a heart of gold beneath the game’s erratic exterior, as it successfully skewers some of gaming’s more pompous franchises.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A terminally flawed experience but there are enough good ideas to hint at an action spin-off that could have been every bit as good as the real XCOM games.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Corporate greed and some avoidable flaws prevent it from reaching infinity and beyond, but this is still a game that can delight and inspire in equal measure.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Insurmountable problems with the controls stop this from being another Platinum classic but it’s still a fun game, overflowing with charm and wonderfully silly action.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    Not just a terrible video game but one conceived purely out of greed and a contempt for its audience – not to mention the hapless parents guilted into furnishing Nintendo’s coffers.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Viewed on its own merits it’s a highly entertaining and feature-packed video game, and that’s all that really matters.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A solid slice of DLC with an interesting story to tell and some notable new gameplay extras, although the fate of the protagonist is unfortunately fudged.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Despite its many and obvious influences this is an impressively unique vision that offers excellent value for money and one of the best surprises on the 3DS’s eShop.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A dream come true for fans of the original but there’s nothing here for anyone else, especially given the tiresome new story elements and obnoxious difficulty.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A far less significant improvement on the original than many will have hoped for, but still an enjoyable co-op shooter with a largely unique setting.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The concept may sound absurd but the experience of playing Papers, Please shines a light not on the game’s hapless victims but on the player’s own sense of decency.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    In many ways the best game on the Wii U so far, at least in terms of using the GamePad for something other consoles would find very hard to replicate.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Nostalgia hounds will find plenty to excite them but viewed under the cold light of modern day Superfrog is not, and never really was, a very good platformer.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An utterly bizarre mix of influences that tries to squeeze in far more elements than would ever be deemed sensible, but somehow manages to work despite it all.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    One of the most beautiful video games ever made, but the gameplay is a far less attractive proposition – especially in this barely-altered remake.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The worldless storytelling is some of the most compelling of the year and the purposefully frustrating control system an outrageously daring experiment.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Proof that Japanese role-players can evolve without having to losing their own unique identity, although Xillia stops just short of being a full-on revolution.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A fun reminder of how first person shooters used to be, but the opportunity to marry the best of the old and the new has been studiously avoided.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A disappointing sequel that offers no significant gameplay improvements compared to its predecessors, and a notably inferior story and set of characters.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good excuse to experiment with BioShock Infinite’s often underrated combat, but the overall experience still feels somewhat underwhelming.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Not everything works as promised but somehow that doesn’t really matter when the never-ending platform action remains as entertaining as this.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Never quite as good as the smart writing and clever ideas seem to promise, but still a thoroughly entertaining parody of the best of 2D Zelda.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Its attempted revolution of turn-based tactics isn’t quite as practical as it first seems but this is still an impressively fun, and funny, strategy game.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There are some issues with game difficultly and length, but this is one of the most successful Kickstarters so far – and an excellent retro style role-player in its own right.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great sequel to what is still probably the best Tower Defense game around, and a shining example of how to do free-to-play properly.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A hugely effective interactive story that shows that video games don’t need big budgets or extreme violence to tell an emotional tale.
