    A disappointing drop in quality. [Sept 2015, p.111]

    • 50 Critic Score
    Only the most patient and self-flagellating need apply. [Sept 2015, p.108]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 52 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    By turns scrappy, hilarious, wearying and completely barmy. [Sept 2015, p.105]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The best version of a still great online co-op shooter. [Sept 2015, p.104]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    At worst frustrating, usually just reminiscent of better, more innovative platformers. [Sept 2015, p.99]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    One of the best indie titles since Limbo. [Sept 2015, p.98]
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A commendably well crafted re-release that doesn't rest on its laurels. [Sept 2015, p.96]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Despite a few niggles you'd be hard pressed to be disappointed by this. With such a fun premise and carefully thought out design, it's more likely to sneak up and surprise you with how good it is.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Clever cloning leads to some of the most inventive puzzles we've seen in a long time. Master its mad logic, and you'll find an excellent puzzle platformer. A really pleasant surprise.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fans might wonder why they should accept all these missing features for an inconsistent visual update. Newcomers will be impressed by the lack of loading screens and rewarding gameplay, but series veterans who’ve played PGA Tour 14 will never crave Xbox 360 backwards compatibility more.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Adds four decent new maps and the chance to see Bruce Campbell firing John Malkovich. [Aug 2015, p.97]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A fine idea, paradoxically lacking in execution. [Aug 2015, p.97]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A generous expansion in both content and spirit. [Aug 2015, p.96]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    This is just a huge missed-steak. [Aug 2015, p.93]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ride only really comes alive when you're the only person on the tarmac. [Aug 2015, p.93]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Often entertaining but occasionally a bit of a slog. [Aug 2015, p.90]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's made more entertaining thanks to Portal soundbites. [Aug 2015, p.87]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An essential buy for any Xbox fight fan. [Aug 2015, p.82]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 52 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Too meandering and dull to work as a twitchy arcade game, Spectra is saved from the ignominy of an even lower score by its sparkling soundtrack. A treat for the ears, then, but little more.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The core experience is deep and 60fps racing is welcome, but with many staple features absent and little sense of true excitement, this isn't a great new-gen debut.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Caught in the right light and this glitters like a racing visor in the sun, but it’s very similar to last year’s game. Ultimately only worth it if you’ve spent years out - and haven’t picked up stablemate, Ride.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Vast, occasionally beautiful, and absolutely loaded down with things to do, but rarely as magical as the numbered Scrolls games. Survive the first few hours and it's a memorable adventure.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It’s the realisation of a vision Rocksteady has been working towards since 2009. Now that gaming tech has finally caught up, we’ve been given the swansong the Dark Knight deserves.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Another generous helping of horror. Occasionally frustrating, but more often tense, inventive and satisfying. [July 2015, p.84]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A gripping platformer that cajoles you into platforming amazing feats of dexterity. [July 2015, p.76]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Another intense Blazkowicz adventure - but a little over familiar. [July 2015, p.74]
    • Official Xbox Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With a bit of selective breeding Massive Chalice could be a marvel - as it stands, it’s a charmingly weird, if slightly too slim, take on the XCOM formula.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Fertile with good ideas, but most of them fail to bloom to their full potential thanks to a wonky money system that slows the pace of progression down to that of a clapped-out tractor.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    In 60 minutes, this will change you from tentative, stodgy muppet to an all-round offensive terror. A terrifically balanced platformer that'll coax out the perfectionist speedrunner in us all.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Rogue Legacy mixes up genres and, through some inspired design choices, brings out the best in both. A deep and challenging game designed for small sessions and maximum satisfaction.
