    Light performance problems and a poor loot box system can't quite distract from Forza Motorsport 7's accommodating difficulty, stunning beauty, and lavish racing options.

    • 82 Critic Score
    A fine remake of a game that deserves to be played as much as it gets fondly remembered.

    If your PC is powerful, however, and you stick to its infectious single-player game, DiRT delivers in spades. [Oct 2007, p.60]

    A great, merciless speedrunning platformer and twitch shooter with a mediocre presentation.

    It may not be original, but Rush to Berlin is fun, which makes it worth considering for a second, third, or fourth tour of duty. [Oct. 2006, p.73]

    It’s got nothing on Final Fantasy at its best, but it’s still an excellent example of the genre with some fun twists on RPG traditions.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A stylish, understated, and subtly chilling psychological thriller with a compelling mystery at its core.

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

    For serious flight simmers – especially those with middling systems – Flanker 2.5 could well be the best $10 you've ever spent. [June 2002, p.61]

    A fantastic return to Superhot’s slick shootouts, at the expense of the original’s deft pacing.

    • 82 Critic Score
    ProSIM's wargames aren't for everybody - Falklands War has a 126-page manual, and it needs reading - but grognards will be in heaven. [Nov 2005, p.77]

    A short but sweet amateur detective game with a wonderful attention to detail.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A smart but simple adventure that's exactly the right kind of spooky. It's short, but superb. More please. [Nov 2017, p.81]

    A space strategy game that streamlines empire-building better than any other. Combat and AI could be better. [Nov 2012, p.70]
    • 82 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A different kind of adventure, in a very different kind of world that wastes no time before growing on you.
    • 83 Metascore

    Addictive, solid, and smarter than all of its competition combined. [June 2003, p.82]

    Satisfying arcade skate-'em-up that's fun from the off, and promises many hours on the hard path to mastery.

    Sucked me deep into its colorful, action-packed gestalt. I plan to keep this game on my hard drive for a long, long time to come. [Mar 2004, p.72]

    It borrows from the proven models of other successful games, and puts them in a new venue. It’s fun, deep, and bug-free. [Jan 2002, p.70]

    • 82 Critic Score
    A beautiful, heartfelt coming of age story that says something about life, and cracks a few jokes in the process.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A rare example of an RTS game that's a much more satisfying single-player experience than a multiplayer one. I doubt we'll see anything like the huge groundswell of online fandom and support that its predecessor earned, but solo strategists will still have a whale of a time.
