    Super Meat Boy Forever
    Super Meat Boy Forever remains as vibrantly revolting as you remember the original being, but the platforming design doesn't live up to the established pedigree. The studio deserves credit for trying something different. If only Meat Boy's simple joys weren't diminished in the transition.

    Unravel
    ​Stunningly rendered close-ups of nature make Unravel’s somber fable and irritating death traps just worth surviving.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Stellaris
    The early game promises an instant strategy classic, but Stellaris is unable to maintain that pace.

    Kingdom Under Fire: A War of Heroes
    Great for RTS newbies or serious "WarCraft" fans, but gaming vets will feel major deja vu. [May 2001, p.39]

    Serious Sam 3: BFE
    A hugely fun, mega frenetic co-op shooter that embodies the soul, and depth, of 90's twitch shooters. [Mar 2012, p.78]

    X: Beyond the Frontier
    Quotation omitted. [June 2000, p.112]

    Five Nights at Freddy's 2
    Come for the one of the scariest environments you’ll sweat in, but try not to leave for the punishing level of difficulty.

    • 70 Critic Score
    JETT: The Far Shore
    Jett: Far From Shore has some epic highs but fiddly ship controls and unanswered questions weigh this space adventure down.

    Call of Juarez
    Story-wise, the device would work better if the player characters were more likeable. [Oct 2007, p.56]

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - System Rift
    A decent, but not essential, two-hour expansion for Mankind Divided that’s ultimately more of the same.

    Narita Boy
    Narita Boy's digital twist on a classic fantasy tale is engrossing if a bit disorientating.

    Mr. Shifty
    A blissfully fluid action game with a compelling twist, let down occasionally by tedious encounters.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    BloodRayne 2
    It doesn't have much depth, but BloodRayne 2 delivers on its simple promise of offering non-stop carnage. If that sets your blood a-boil, give it a shot. [Oct 2005, p.65]

    Hell Let Loose
    Hell Let Loose is a fun and accessible introduction to milsims, but I miss the complexity.

    Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel
    A decent enough expansion, but it doesn't reach the great heights of previous post-launch outings.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Act of Aggression
    AI flaws and a limp campaign let down an otherwise-accomplished RTS revival.

    Call of Duty: WWII
    A drab campaign doesn't do the history justice, but Call of Duty: WWII’s multiplayer recalls the glory days of Modern Warfare.

    Warpath (2006)
    For $19.99, Warpath is a good deal--in quantity, if not quality. [Jun 2006, p.50]

    Banished
    A nice change of pace for city-builders, but it loses momentum once the immediate urgency of survival goes away.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Strider
    Strider is a liberating, free-form action platformer studded with frustrating callbacks to an arcade era better left behind.
    • 71 Metascore

    The Crew
    One of the most exciting racing game environments for years, unfortunately bound to a slew of dull races and superfluous story.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rebel Galaxy
    Rebel Galaxy’s combat can be a lot of fun, but there's little depth and a lot of repetition.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Champions Online
    Free-to-play limits player choice and hurts the game's longevity, but Champions remains a pretty, if passable MMO.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Achron
    When it comes to RTS design fundamentals, Achron is frustratingly primitive, which depreciates its brilliant twist. [Nov 2011, p.81]

    Whispers of a Machine
    Whispers of a Machine is like a good episode of your favorite police procedural: familiar and fun, no more and no less.

    to a T
    A weird and funny story with a lot of surprises, but control and camera issues dampen the fun.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ara: History Untold
    A beautifully presented and accessible game in a sometimes obscure genre, Ara: History Untold is a pretty picture book rather than a deep tome.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Patrician III: Rise of the Hanse
    Veterans of previous Patrician games will no doubt feel at home, but new players may be scratching their heads at the vague objectives. [Jan 2004, p.88]

    Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
    Flawed and overfamiliar, but still as joyously OTT and hilarious as ever.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist
    Wonky mission design and technical issues drag down a solid stealth game that still has enjoyable multiplayer.
