    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An intense and thrilling psychological survival horror sequel that improves on its forerunner in almost every way.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Wholly unique and deceptively punishing, Uurnog Uurnlimited is as clever as it is creative.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It definitely adds more than the two preceding expansion packs, but it’s still a slave to the simplistic mechanics that, for many, start to get old after a few weeks of play. [Jan 2002, p.60]

    • 80 Critic Score
    While it's not a must-have for current players, unlocking Faction's 300-odd new skills and discovering an entire new continent full of missions, monsters, and locales adds a lot of creamy icing to an already tasty cake. [Aug 2006, p.64]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Beautiful, well-written, and with an exciting finish, this is a strong start for Inquisition DLC.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    World of Warships is Wargaming’s finest vehicle combat game, but its free-to-play model is getting prohibitively expensive.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An enthralling horror mystery that, outside of its relatively short length, doesn't seem to have suffered at all from the difficult circumstances of its development.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Intentionally and unintentionally thorny, but still one of the most compelling mystery adventures since Disco Elysium.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A beautiful 2D soulslike with enough bright ideas of its own to stand out.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    For its $65 price tag, RWG makes a decent party game, but it would be better if it came with an extra set of gloves, because tediously wrapping and unwrapping the Velcro closures and passing them back and forth was a real pain. [Sep 2006, p.96]

    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's familiar, but Crown of the Ivory King is still another gorgeous five-hour helping of Dark Souls 2. Cherish it—it’s your last.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Still as atmospheric and impressively grim as it was last year, but inessential if you have the original.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Addictive, if soon over. An intoxicating cocktail of molten merriment, Puddle is a glass-half-full kind of game.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An awkward story doesn't hold Capes back from being one of the best turn-based strategy games of recent years.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A smart, hypnotic city builder that won't leave you tearing out your hair.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Stuffed with content and pathos, Infinite Wealth delivers a near-excessive amount of urban crime-drama adventure.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This journey through a dreamscape of loss and absolution is unique, if a bit uneven at times.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A pachinko-roguelike that properly rewards strategic play. Terrific.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Thin and familiar, but it offers some terrific hacking and slashing. [Feb 2004, p.72]
    • PC Gamer
    • 71 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Occasionally clunky, and sporting an unremarkable combat core, but offers an irresistible slice of stealthy co-op coordination. [Oct 2012, p.62]
    • 84 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    This heartfelt, engaging reprise of a classic falls just shy of greatness due to a lack of fresh ideas and endurance.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    With its rockin' techno beats, ARES takes me back to the days of the classic NES Mega Man games. [June 2011, p.77]
    • PC Gamer
    • 76 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A leisurely stroll through a beautiful apocalypse. Rapture is stirring and heartfelt, but may be too slow and hands-off for some.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    If only Stranglehold wasn't quite so formulaic, quite so tamed, and quite so short, this shot of Tequila would go down a whole lot smoother. [Dec 2007, p.72]

    • 50 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A nonstop tour de force of insulting insanity. And even though I should be disgusted by the potty humor and derogatory caricatures, I had a blast playing through it. [June 2003, p.74]

    • 82 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It's let down by lacklustre combat and some annoying enemy design, but Prey is still a compelling, beautiful immersive sim.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Not a feast for the eyes, but there's more than a meal here if you're a glutton for clever, cruel puzzle-based punishment.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Neo Can is ambitious and thoughtful, but it sometimes overshoots into something too bleak.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    One of D&D's best adventures gets an endearing, if not spellbinding, rendition. [Nov 2003, p.138]
    • PC Gamer
    • 76 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    This hectic, multiplayer-focused Darwinia spin-off is as full of glee and spectacle as any RTS I know. [Holiday 2008, p.73]
