Tomb Raider Remastered is an impressive and authentic update. Too authentic in some places, though.

Worth it for the two vibrant mini-campaigns, but only if you're dying for more KB. It doesn't sex up the formula at all.

Fun, but it lacks depth compared to other PC roleplaying games. [Nov 2005, p.78]

Any repetition is mollified by the fact that you really do have the run of Springfield. [Jan 2004, p.105]

Atomic Heart aims high and, even if it doesn't quite pull it off, is a decent shooter in an exceptionally realised setting.

Rosewater tells an engaging Western story despite a well-worn formula.

If you're maxed out your character, the 10 new levels alone make "Desert of Flames" a must-buy, but newer players should hold off until they hit that wall. [Holiday 2005, p.70]

An accessible strategy game tied to a powerful, dynamic story generator.

Visually drab and a bit too taken with its own story, but otherwise a clever and fun exercise in creative problem-solving.

A quality-made but unsurprising multiplayer FPS that offers refined versions of the current most popular modes and top-tier shooting.

There's a lot to like in this expansion - but it's no replacement for "UO2." [July 2001, p.71]

War Thunder rules the air but the lack of polish hurts, as does the dull ground warfare.

It may be just a pretty face, but damned if Comanche 4 doesn’t have enough hot-looking curves to take your mind off its lack of brains. [Feb 2002, p.70]

It isn't a challenge or an epic, but for an arty game that's worthy of a seat next to Limbo, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet knows how to give you a good time without taking very much of it. [Aug 2012, p.69]

An ambitious and atmospheric adventure undercut by some simplistic mechanics.

Plenty of progress, especially in the areas of graphics and air traffic control, but don't toss aside Microsoft's FSX yet. [Apr 2012, p.69]

A few fouled spark plugs turn a potentially great off-road racer into a good one. [Jan 2001, p.126]

Satisfying, suspenseful multiplayer is more than the sum of its parts, but marred by bugs for now. Ignore the single-player. [Holiday 2011, p.64]

Rocket Arena is the best kind of mindless fun.

ObsCure's smell of teen spirit freshens up a staid and stodgy genre. [July 2005, p.62]

A splendid adventure that’s well paced, excellently voiced, and doesn't outstay its welcome.

It's not the lack of death that drains the game of its urgency and suspense; it's the lack of purpose in each level, other than to show off the lovely design of virtual monkey bars topped off with some fireworks at the end. [Feb 2009, p.66]

We're in a milsim boom and Isonzo's thrilling, if limiting battlefields fit nicely into it.

Metal: Hellsinger manages to remain entertaining despite its lackluster story due to its great soundtrack and well-integrated rhythmic combat.

Despite the missteps with combat, and another storyline that is just too dry to get invested in even with well-produced cutscenes, I still recommend Catalyst. It’s annoyingly close to being the ideal Mirror’s Edge game, but retains a few of its predecessors’ issues, even if those problems have manifested in different forms. If you loved the first game as much as I did, there’s so much to enjoy about running around this big, gorgeous playground—I just wish DICE had stuck the landing.

Problematic in some areas, but overall a really good, thoughtful move towards better sex games.

Those 12 missions might not sound like a lot, but their sprawling scope and elaborate challenges will keep you busy for dozens of hours. [Holiday 2003, p.118]

Not for the coordination-challenged. [Jun 2006, p.105]
