It still feels like a six-year-old game, and that's probably a sign to move on to something a little newer. [Holiday 2012, p.73]

Wurm Online is one of the most innovative MMOs around, but damn, will it make you work to appreciate that fact.

Addictive, if soon over. An intoxicating cocktail of molten merriment, Puddle is a glass-half-full kind of game.

A neat story threads missions together and provided enough of a tug to pull me along. [April 2013, p.63]

Bleed is not as refined as the aforementioned Super Meat Boy, not is its action as satisfying balletic as most bullet shmups. But there's a real spark in it--a spirit that lights the game up every time things slot into place. [April 2013, p.63]

There's nothing wrong with Uprising, but neither is there enough right with it to make it worthwhile for any but serious fans. [Aug 2013, p.75]

Fun and deceptively simple, Joe Danger will have you laughing at the ridiculous ways you can fail(or succeed). [Oct 2013, p.69]

Barely noticeable differences to Black Flag make Freedom Cry an inessential add-on to Assassin's Creed IV. [April 2014, p.66]

But LocoCycle is unchallenging, unengaging, and chronically unfunny, and when ideas start to repeat themselves, the game drags along like Pablo himself. [May 2014, p.74]

Two great maps and a poor one make Expedition an over-expensive proposition. Respawn also squander a great chance to extend Titanfall’s fiction.

A simple, bite-sized game that will still eat your face, but many levels shallower than its rivals.

Lacks balance and grows repetitive, but provides a handful of good puzzle chambers if you're willing to pay for them.

Dependence on other players means the game widely varies between completely hilarious and utterly boring.

Know someone who's never experienced Fable, or has only played Fable 3? Get them on this.

Though it’s not ambitious enough for die-hard flight sim fans, the Arma 3 Helicopters DLC adds flight sim-style depth to gaming’s greatest military.

In summary, 'wrath' was an apt choice of name. [Feb 2015, p.77]

I love the new snowy setting, and there are some fun moments here, but ultimately Valley of the Yetis plays it too safe.

Making a major impact to every basic combat operation in Arma 3, Marksmen is a substantial and successful overhaul.

Some flaws in design, but playing heroes with a limited lifespan provides interesting decisions and choices.

Though this expansion is small and inexpensive, it fits perfectly into Endless Legend, filling in gaps and extending concepts. It’s a mite uninspired—as we said giants and wonders aren’t exactly alien to 4X games—and it doesn’t fix the bigger problems with the game—that underwhelming combat—but it certainly guards against anyone stealing the 4X crown, for the time being.

Sledgehammer’s second swing at a DLC pack is a modest hit, but lapsed Advanced Warfare fans may return to find that few others have.

Stripped down to arcade basics, it's buggy, bland, and not much fun.

Occasionally punishing, but still a fun, time-bending, mind-rending platformer.

The pleasure of creative block-building meets the satisfaction of puzzle-solving. [Oct 2015, p.66]

A vibrant presentation doesn’t save Sentris from a lack of depth or direction.

Casual and silly yet still tense and exciting. It's a shame there's no online multiplayer.

Baba Yaga has more of Rise of the Tomb Raider’s fun platforming and gorgeous Siberian cliffsides, but the condensed format only strengthens its problems.

Tree of Savior's biggest grind lies in chipping away all of its flaws just to experience its nostalgic charms.
