A propulsively paced romp with a surfeit of ideas, SuperChargers reinvigorates a series that appeared to be on the wane. [Dec 2015, p.77]

Stick with it and there's a lot to love here. [Dec 2015, p.77]

A welcome apology for last year. [Dec 2015, p.73]

Guns spit out bullets with little heft and explosions feel like gentle farts in the wind rather than loud, powerful releases of energy.

Proof that big thinking PC-based RPGs can totally work on pads, and how not to implement the weighty interfaces that come alongside them - but trudge through this and there's much to love.

Facile puzzles. [Nov 2015, p.87]
