It's not changing the game. It's more like finding a third finger in your Twix packet. [Oct 2013, p.103]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

This gives you the thrills of playing poker with real money, without the hassle of winning real money back. Ah, microtransactions. [Dec 2013, p.91]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

It's still frantic bite-sized arcade action. [Dec 2013, p.91]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

While it's a noble attempt to change pace and style, Last Light was balanced well - this breaks that balance. [Dec 2013, p.93]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

The game's still an utterly charming and absorbing linear platformer, with plenty of secrets knotted into its path.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Occasionally difficult, never fun. [Christmas 2013, p.107]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

A bit of a scattershot offering, but pleasantly non-essential for second-hand owners. If you've drained the main game, it's worth a go. [Christmas 2013, p.111]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

The controls are so badly implemented, you feel like you're fighting with the game. [Feb 2014, p.87]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

The controls are still horrendous, but for this chapter the pace of the storytelling picks up immensely. [Feb 2014, p.87]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

The Raven simply doesn't understand how logic in point-and-click games works. [Feb 2014, p.87]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Updated but still dated, this feels like a step back to a more boring time and doesn't add anything new. [March 2014, p.80]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Betting on depth of mechanics over breadth of content is a gamble, but one that massively pays off. This is a muscular, versatile slice of stealth, and a great indicator of things to come.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

A great, witheringly tough retro platformer that will amuse/abuse fans of Super Meat Boy and the Sonic series.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Though its more advanced controls can frustrate, this is a bold brawler that just wants to have fun. Just don't play when hungry - you'll be craving an enchilada before the first act is through.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

It boggles the mind that these kinds of games are still being made. [Aug 2014, p.83]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Repetitive and rather mindless gameplay make playing Putty Squad an experience we're unlikely to return to. If nothing else, it's a stark reminder of just how far games have come. [Sept 2014, p.87]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Yes, it's another yearly update with sub-par visuals - but a couple of new features are all it takes to make this the best of the series so far. [Sept 2014, p.89]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Battlefield 4 hasn't been too stable since launch, but this pack helps. Varied maps and a fun new mode - we like. [Oct 2014, p.97]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

It looks and sounds the part, but the table layout can feel a little claustrophobic. [Nov 2014, p.91]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Trust us: after half an hour, you'll be as sick of it as CJ is of Cluckin' Bell. [Xmas 2014, p.87]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

If this was a bargain-bin title we might be inclined to be slightly more forgiving, but as it is, this is 35 pounds for a game you've likely already played a far better version of. [Xmas 2014, p.87]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Deliciously slow to unravel, full of character and gripping from start to finish. [Jan 2015, p.88]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

A light, breezy and immediate racer that's perfect multiplayer party fodder. [Jan 2015, p.89]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

It's not an exact fit for Xbox, so we find our thumbs longing for the portability and accessibility of the mobile version. [Feb 2015, p.74]- Official Xbox Magazine UK
