    Neat aesthetics, interesting puzzles, but a forgettable experience.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    More of what you loved, but no earth-shattering experiences.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Imaginatively beautiful but with a couple missteps.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    A visual upgrade to an already great game, Ultimate Edition is a must-have for any shooter fan.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Horror, and actual consequences makes for an enthralling game let down only by the slow beginning.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Play it because it’s different, play it because it’s a far cry from anything you’re likely to in the coming months.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The finest Telltale episode since The Walking Dead’s finale. And that’s saying something.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A strange, charming dating sim with a lot more depth than first meets the eye.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Deeply beautiful and emotional, but falls prey to the elements it’s critiquing.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    N++
    Delightfully infuriating.

    Rare Replay is a fantastic “Best-of” collection, and for $40, it’s a bargain.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A bit squidgy, but still fun.

    As much as I’m looking forward to the conclusion of Life is Strange, I’m glad the episodic structure gives me a bit of reprieve. Days later, I’m still trying to process my thoughts and feelings on Dark Room, and I feel like this episode (and Life is Strange, as a whole, unless the final chapter completely drops the ball) is something we’ll be talking about for years to come.

    Submerged won’t be a game for everyone, in the same way that the likes of Gone Home and Dear Esther aren’t for everyone, but that doesn’t make it any less remarkable. But if you can hear the music that this game is playing - and I’d urge you to give it an earnest go - you’ll find something that may just take your breath away.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Beautiful re-imagining of a classic franchise, but could use a journal and cutscene skipping options.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Great story content, dearth of endgame.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A funny fighting game with the option of a drunk announcer.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Journey was a masterclass in emotional design when it came out. This sharper, crisper version still carries that badge.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Sticks to the farm formula and delivers a pretty ordinary game.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Bumbling combat, laughable visuals, and terribly overpriced.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It may not be fun, but it’s realistic.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A bit of a filler episode, but several major decisions and events manage to redeem it.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Overall, and like other recent remasters, it would be hard to recommend this to those who have already played God of War 3. But for those who haven’t - this is certainly God of War at its best, and it’s a chance to experience one of the best beat-em up platformers the last generation console had to offer.

    Politics aside, Blizzard have done what they do best: produced a great online multiplayer game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Adorable, clever, and creative.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An overcast day in gaming history.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Massively enjoyable and massively frustrating.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Bring on Fire Emblem: Fates.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Hilarity underscored by humanity - a winning formula.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Glitchy, but still maintains the playable charm we have come to expect from LEGO games.
