    Admirably back to basics, eschewing fancypants gimmicks to focus entirely on the ancient, noble art of hitting balls into holes. [Holiday 2014, p.58]

    Better than Borderlands 3, but not quite reaching the heights of Borderlands 2 at its best.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The best Shadowrun to date, but the series is starting to go grey.

    Micromanagement is emphasized, explaining its popularity(in Germany)--so if you're into that, <i>Emergency 3</i> is an enjoyable RTS. [July 2006, p.67]

    The new design focus has created a schizophrenic game in which neither single-play nor multiplay is successful. [Holiday 2004, p.90]

    An inventive puzzler with rapid-fire gags that'll make you groan as much as guffaw.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Sworcery is worth a look for the presentation and music, but despite the upgrade to HD the mobile version is still the one to go for. [Aug 2012, p.77]

    It's Far Cry 5 again, on a smaller scale and with a post-apocalyptic paint job.

    While it doesn't fulfil its potential, Flat Eye is an intriguing management sim that's more than the sum of its parts.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Still awfully limited relative to the encyclopedic scope of regular FIFA games, 2006 FIFA World Cup features just enough content to sate footie fans who aren't getting enough of a World Cup fix from their tube. [Aug 2006, p.91]

    Ota Imon has something interesting to say with Wolfstride. I just hope it finds the right voice to say it with next time.

    • 70 Critic Score
    If you can look past its graphic belmishes and gratuitously protracted conversation pieces, however, Culpa Innanta is a solid point-and-click adventure game with significant depth and replay value. [Feb 2008, p.85]

    Legends of Eisenwald is a slightly rough-hewn romp through Germanic legend that's engaging and entertaining despite its lack of depth.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Strike Vector’s aerial combat is brilliant and beautiful, but it needs to be put into a package that does it justice.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A beautiful JRPG that captures the spirit of the genre's early hits while playing things a tad too safely.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The shooting is precise, but the overwrought customization system sacrifices depth for brute-force completely. [Aug 2012, p.62]

    While the new zones look nice, they're not getting heavy use, at least on my server. [Jan 2005, p.82]

    Charm and a solid formula go a long way to smoothing over this roguelike deckbuilder's ungroomed edges.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A modest remaster of a fun but flawed RTS that’s stuck in the ever-lengthening shadow of its predecessor.

    • 70 Critic Score
    For a paltry 10 bucks though, there's plenty here to enjoy, and the new cards and decks make it a worthy upgrade for those who own last year's Duels of the Planeswalkers. [Oct 2011, p.81]

    • 70 Critic Score
    Egregious DRM and poor matchmaking mar a surprisingly fun and accessible multiplayer shooter. [May 2012, p.80]
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A cheap and cheerful action game that won’t win any awards, but provides solid knockabout laughs.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fiddly at times, and cursed with a lousy tutorial, the intricacy and scale of Cities in Motion 2 eventually shines through. [July 2013, p.74]

    It's a shame to think that a great franchise could be tarnished by sheer carelessness. [June 2002, p.53]

    Still, Bionic Commando is packed with enough challenges and modes to woo even the most suicidal Spencer back into battle. [Dec 2008, p.58]

    For $20, this European import is quite a steal, and should provide plenty of hours of heated gameplay. [Nov 2003, p.112]

    Call of Duty's strongest multiplayer offering in years is dragged down by a tedious campaign.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A winning but wayward chimera of survival game, surrealism and storybook adventure.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Solasta's storytelling may not be up to much, but its tactical combat and accessible approach to D&D rules make it worth considering for CRPG fans.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Starting a medieval crime family may not be everyone's idea of fun, but for those who are willing to place a daggar in a rival's back or to bribe a magistrate to get ahead, Pirates is a worthwhile expansion to its predecessor. [Oct 2007, p.70]
