Deeply underwhelming. Neither staged carefully enough to be scary nor dynamic enough to be exciting, it succeeds only where other players are capable of breathing life into it. There are better linear shooters, better asymmetrical multiplayer games, and better Aliens sequels, and your love of the motion tracker and pulse rifle would need to be profound to surmount those obstacles.- PC Gamer

Beyond the shock value of its demonic horrors, this survivalist city-builder has little to recommend it.- PC Gamer

History Buffs may consider this "Age of Empires" clone if it's cheap, but all else leave it be. [Apr 2001, p.84]- PC Gamer

It just doesn't measure up to the imagination and potential of the setting, and you feel like little more than a jumped=up errand boy. [Holiday 2014, p.66]- PC Gamer

Unless you're jonesing for an adventure game fix, your time's better spent rearranging your Netflix queue. [Aug 2008, p.72]- PC Gamer

Darkness Within oversells its Lovecraftian theme because there's just way too much reading and not enough adventuring to keep our interest up. [Mar 2008, p.81]- PC Gamer

Necromunda is a sight to behold, but it's undermined by wonky shooting, superfluous mechanics, and bugs.- PC Gamer

Scarf is a nice if not particularly original idea, disappointingly executed on almost all fronts.- PC Gamer

Only diehard "Blair Witch" fans are going to want this one, and then only because it's cheap. [Feb 2001, p.88]- PC Gamer

Parts of Final Fantasy XIII are worth the absurd amount of time it takes to properly open up, but this port is a big letdown.- PC Gamer

A flimsy remake of a flawed 16-bit favourite that exacerbates all the original’s problems while failing to recapture its strengths.- PC Gamer

Its generic plot and presentation are so bland, the game's few inventive features are very likely to be lost on most who play it. [Holiday 2004, p.94]- PC Gamer

The Chosen is single-player only, which is probably for the best--you'd be hard-pressed to find many other people playing it. [Mar 2008, p.74]- PC Gamer

It's too bad Firestarter is executed so poorly because the graphics engine is fantastic, packed with reflections, great textures, and all manner of flashy high-tech visual doo-dads. [May 2004, p.67]- PC Gamer

A beautiful action movie that punishes improvisation, with under-populated multiplayer that can’t compete with a nine-year-old game.- PC Gamer

Despite some cool heroes and a neat twist on battle royale, Amazon’s long-awaited hero shooter wasn’t worth the wait.- PC Gamer

For those hoping for a game in which killing innocent people provides you with some sort of entertainment—be it humor, revulsion, guilt, a vicarious and morbid thrill—you can find it done better, in one way or another, in every other game I've mentioned in this review.- PC Gamer

Makes you work a lot for very little. The repetitive churn of missions and activities further spoil an only occasionally entertaining shooter.- PC Gamer

Sane people. however--folks who don't take their new Leader Class Optimus Prime to bed with them--should probably play something else. [Oct 2007, p.72]- PC Gamer
