A brave, harrowing exploration of a troubled psyche which proves very powerful indeed. [Issue#180, p.83]

A considered fighter that’s wrapped up in a stylish, if slight, package. [Issue#180, p.75]

At first it’s novel – and funny – to hear cats and warthogs spouting the usual high-fantasy nonsense about prophecies and world-eating serpents, especially as some of the voice acting is a bit off. But as the hours go on that all fades away to leave a well-realised setting. Along with the central mystery, it all makes for a compelling tail. Sorry – tale. Okay, perhaps we haven’t quite forgotten this is an animal kingdom. [Issue#180, p.87]

Loads of appealing content for MotoGP fans, but it’s sluggish and all-too familiar. [Issue#180, p.89]

Complex, compelling and beautiful, this is the pinnacle of F1 racing sims. [Issue#180, p.79]

An absolutely beautiful recreation of a magnificently designed racer. [Issue#180, p.81]

Bloodstained: ROTN is a deceptively hard game (that’s a good thing), so careful exploration of each room and a considered approach to each encounter is required in order to reach the next big boss with enough health and magic points. [Issue#180, p.85]

A decent but forgettable kart racer that’s lacking the variety of All-Stars Racing. [Issue#179, p.83]

A solid FPS that delivers on the shooting, but fails to provide much else worth doing. [Issue#179, p.75]

One of the best exploration games ever, thanks to a small but perfectly crafted setting. [Issue#179, p.85]

A darkly poetic homage to horror cinema, but one that lacks its own identity. [Issue#179, p.89]

The NES trilogy and 16-bit sequels are still hugely challenging and worth a look. [Issue#179, p.90]

Occasionally thrilling, often banal, this cricketer may stump you. [Issue#179, p.80]

A Diablo clone that still has plenty of its own character, and is great in couch co-op. [Issue#179, p.78]

A fast, scrappy FPS with gorgeous art that’s sadly much less than the sum of its parts. [Issue#179, p.76]

This GTA-a-like will make you nostalgic, and grateful that AI is a lot better now. [Issue#179, p.86]

A faithful sim that overcomes bland presentation thanks to fabulous potting. [Issue#178, p.80]

Heavily inspired by Hotline Miami, but sadly with none of its precision, purity or style. [Issue#178, p.84]

This really is just like Burnout. Less flamboyant, sure, but supremely enjoyable. [Issue#178, p.82]

Despite the largely one-note action, noticeably low budget, as well as the lack of imagination on show, there’s at least a scrappy charm displayed here that makes this zombie romp just about worthwhile. If you have a few Xbox Live chums who have an undead-annihilating itch to scratch, you could do worse than waging this brain-biting battle [Issue#178, p.78]

The story never lets you settle – it never guarantees the safety of Amicia or Hugo – and, even as some of the mechanics grow a little stale, that keeps A Plague Tale feeling breathless across its 12-hour runtime. [Issue#178, p.88]

A handful of clever ideas hamstrung by poor execution that leaves the game a tedious grind. [Issue#178, p.86]

In some ways there are only marginal and cosmetic differences from Mortal Kombat XL. That’s no bad thing, as fans of the series as well as fans of NetherRealm’s last fighter, Injustice 2, will be comfortable with the feel and mechanics, but those tweaks and enhancements, as well as the excellent story mode, mean that with MK11, Mortal Kombat has pretty much now been perfected. [Issue#178, p.75]

A mildly entertaining RPG full of technical issues and simplistic combat. [Issue#177, p.88]

A sprawling ramshackle mishmash of a game that somehow works. [Issue#177, p.80]

A sprawling ramshackle mishmash of a game that somehow works. [Issue#177, p.82]

A tense and immersive adventure – but with one too many rough edges. [Issue#177, p.85]

An interesting concept and setting, held back by its rather lacking execution. [Issue#177, p.78]
