Clearly designed for the world of mobile devices, Cubot is the kind of thing you've probably downloaded for pennies, many times, and played for half an hour before getting hopelessly stuck and abandoning it. [March 2016, p.87]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Nice idea, but Toy Soldiers does almost all this does, bugger and better. [March 2016, p.87]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Probably better suited to a smartphone but mildly diverting for an hour or two. [March 2016, p.87]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

A tough cookie. As a twitch game, it suffers from poor feedback and imprecision, but its snappy pace keeps you hooked. [March 2016, p.86]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Challenge mode is a real fan-pleaser and the fastest rally stages are fun and pretty. But it feels clumsy at low-speed, has some severe technical issues and rallycross events are poor. [March 2016, p.85]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

It still has charm and invention - but in shorter supply than the preceding episode. It's also stymied by a claustrophobic, repetitive environment that leans on to-and-fro busywork. [March 2016, p.84]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Looks great, sounds utterly terrifying and proves the old formula can still scare. But partner-swapping remains tedious and unintuitive. Why do a remake if you just leave the greatest flaws unfixed? [March 2016, p.81]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Light on action and adrenaline but filled with atmosphere, this isn't your typical Xbox game - and all the more powerful for it. A luxury purchase, but an experience to savour. [March 2016, p.77]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Offering neither the thrilling gymnastic momentum of Prince of Persia, nor the flexible sneaking of its superstar sibling, ACC: India finds itself spinning off into a cul-de-sac. [March 2016, p.76]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Lacking a map-editor, co-op, and charismatic central villain, Primal sacrifices its forebears' 'big event' status, but this back-to-basics approach makes for an all-natural off-the-reservation romp.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Rocket League transcends its chaotic mishmash of sports, racing and fighting to create an elegant and endlessly competitive game for the ages.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Under the cheery looks is a surprisingly gripping shooter; one that, second time round, offers a healthier spread of modes and an addictive breadcrumb trail of hero progression.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

A huge, beautiful zone to play in, but it offers little new and the quests are merely decent. [Feb 2016, p.89]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

A genuinely atmospheric and often disturbing yarn that Ripper and Creed fans shouldn't miss. [Feb 2016, p.88]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

It's short but engaging, with some fiendish platforming segments, and introduces enough new concepts as you snake up the Solar System to keep you spinning on your axis. [Feb 2016, p.87]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

With a little bit more polish this could have been a home run, but as it is, it slides safely into first base. [Feb 2016, p.87]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

The cost is too high and the extras too slim to make this excellent. [Feb 2016, p.86]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

One or two half-decent gags aside, Deadpool is a dreary, lumpen, vapid and altogether forgettable action game with an exasperatingly garrulous lead. [Feb 2016, p.85]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Hindered by generic looks, technical issues and a hit detection that could barely flail its way out of a paper bag. Perhaps there's a reason we've moved on from medieval times. [Feb 2016, p.84]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

As a glimpse into the life of a dysfunctional family, Three Fourths Home is a success - but while its dialogue has the ring of truth, its narrative feels slight and incomplete. [Feb 2016, p.80]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

A clever and compelling multiplayer offering that transplants the meticulous planning of classic Rainbow Six into a modern shooter - but concerns about its long-term prospects persist. [Feb 2016, p.75]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Innovation or execution? We'll take the latter so long as Techland are behind the wheel. A gloriously entertaining, blood-soaked country drive.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Without wishing to be Volga, this is a real kick in the Urals. Punitive old-school design meets needless contemporary complexities, with rehashed set-pieces Putin the final nail in the coffin.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

This compelling exploration of war’s human cost is also a tense strategy game, with kids giving it real heart. Proof you can make an engrossing game, no matter how bleak the subject.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Oxenfree's easy to like, with its inspired dialogue system feeling like a step forward for this genre. It's the lack of challenge and compelling gameplay that leaves it a few steps behind.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

It's taken a long time to get to us, but Stoic's engrossing strategy adventure is worth the wait, conjuring a rich, wintry atmosphere in a world as handsome as it is hopeless.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

The new competitive focus and enhanced graphics engine are welcome, but it still feels underwhelming. [Jan 2016, p.88]- Official Xbox Magazine UK
