Its sledgehammer subtlety is balanced by a genuinely good heart. [March 2015, p.76]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Still downright scarier than most of its successors and an unforgettable journey. [March 2015, p.74]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Though not entirely soul-destroying, Dying Light will leave you feeling like you've just eaten a box of budget chocolates - unsatisfied, underwhelmed and unsure if it was worth the money. [March 2015, p.72]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

In between Screamride’s occasionally dull take on ’coasters and its indecision over acceptable amounts of hurt, there’s a decent game - but it’s the destruction that wins it.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

A brilliantly unique indie escape-'em-up that combines stealth, strategy, and simulation to great effect, but you'll need saint-like patience to get the most out of it.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Poorly conceived structures supporting too little new content mean this is, sadly, a great waste. [Feb 2015, p.86]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

The problem is, we have real friends who'll accompany us to real pubs with real tables on which we can play real pool. So why do we need a slightly sterile virtual version? [Feb 2015, p.83]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

It's just a bit pointless, really, when all anyone wants to do is play Tetris. [Feb 2015, p.83]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

One to avoid, we think - though the creepy trailer, with a father and his two dead-eyed sons is worth watching. It's like something out of Twin Peaks. [Feb 2015, p.83]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Its gameplay isn't breaking any moulds, but the presentation makes it well worth recommending. [Feb 2015, p.83]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

A beautiful, bleak puzzle game that any newcomer willing to look death in the eye should pick up. [Feb 2015, p.82]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

This first episode falls a little short of expectations. [Feb 2015, p.80]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

A poor attempt at a kids' party game and one that's just as unfunny, repetitive and dull as the Rabbid 'stars' are. [Feb 2015, p.79]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

There's little that pushes it beyond Guardian of Light, while the co-op is feeble and plagued with technical issues. [Feb 2015, p.78]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Feature bloat strips this of its purity, and in parts it's unwieldy and unsatisfying. But find a challenge that sparks your imagination, and you'll become surgically attached to the controller. [Feb 2015, p.75]- 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

Apologising for broken content with more broken content feels like a bit of a slap in the face, and Dead Kings' confusing, far-from-user-friendly new mechanics make this DLC a bit of a disappointing prospect.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

A natural extension that caters for nerve-wracking thrills with lots to see and collect. A must-play.- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Like sipping a mojito while resting your panda-skin boots on a pauper, there's something nasty yet refreshing here, as it pushes you to maintain control in marvelously illiberal ways. [Feb 2015 (US), p.72]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Paper armies are all the rage these days; this is just enraging. [Jan 2015, p.89]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

Each world is packed with mysterious treasures and treacheries just waiting to be discovered, and learning how to use them to shape the world to your benefit is enormously satisfying. [Jan 2015, p.89]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

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

Where Rocksmith 2014 triumphs is in teaching through engaging challenges rather than through rote learning. [Jan 2015, p.89]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

We can't wholly recommend its gameplay, but as a vessel for an endangered culture, it's a worthy project. [Jan 2015, p.88]- 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

With wit and spot-on style, this is nearly one of Teltale's best, but prioritising action over dialogue means it falls just short of the story-led brilliance we're used to. [Jan 2015, p.83]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

While its core modes are shallower than the competition, NBA Live 15 is breezy and fun to play on the court. [Jan 2015, p.82]- Official Xbox Magazine UK

It ends up feeling more like a retrospective than a game in its own right. [Jan 2015, p.80]- Official Xbox Magazine UK
