    Dracula: Origin
    But it seems that developer Frogwares spent more time attending to the genre's flaws than crafting an engaging adventure game. [Sept 2008, p.72]

    • 14 Critic Score
    The Moment of Silence
    An awful and punishing experience... It's not as if adventure games needed another punch to the crotch. [June 2005, p.74]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Pride of Nations
    As fresh and insightful as it is slow, Pride of Nations offers major rewards to the patient player. [Nov 2011, p.76]

    Zax: The Alien Hunter
    Zax is good fun, though it suffers from too much déjà vu. [Feb 2002, p.65]

    Sengoku
    The simple building system is very slow and expensive, often taking years, and enemy ninjas can destroy guilds or religious locations with ease. [Holiday 2011, p.77]
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Surgeon Simulator 2: Access All Areas
    Surgeon Simulator 2 is a clever, funny puzzle game that renders its "surgery" mechanics almost ancillary to the final product.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered
    Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is a surprisingly satisfying romp through Hell, as long as you plug your ears.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The Bard's Tale
    Has nothing in common with the original series, but it's a solid action/RPG. [Sept 2005, p.81]
    • PC Gamer
    • 70 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Advent Rising
    There are better games, but not too many better B-grade scripts. [Dec 2005, p.88]

    World War II: Frontline Command
    Innovative features lift this game above mediocrity - but not by much. [Oct 2003, p.108]

    Delta Force: Black Hawk Down - Team Sabre
    First up is the AI, which, for both the enemy and your squad, is simply dreadful. [Apr 2004, p.66]

    Mr. Shifty
    A blissfully fluid action game with a compelling twist, let down occasionally by tedious encounters.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    EVE Online
    A beautiful universe with a sophisticated interface, but it's essentially a desolate wilderness of constellations, space debris, and guesses. [Sept 2003, p.92]
    • PC Gamer
    • 69 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Rogue Trooper
    While simplistic controls and assisted aiming reveal Rogue Trooper's console origins, its core gameplay will still appeal to PC shooter fans, especially those who dig multiplayer(death-match and co-op, yay!). [July 2006, p.55]

    Halfway (2014)
    A relatively tough but mechanically lean sci-fi strategy game.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    Enotria: The Last Song
    Italian folklore makes for a unique setting, but Enotria lacks the smooth combat and smart mechanics you'd look for in a decent soulslike.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Blair Witch
    An interesting horror game that never manages to escape the shadow of its ‘90s inspiration.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Secrets of Da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript
    Still, considering what it had to work with, Noblis has done the Da Vinci name proud. [Sep 2006, p.94]

    Supreme Ruler 2010
    This game will find an audience...that could fit into a high-school gymnasium. [Sept 2005, p.70]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The Fidelio Incident
    An interesting story with some beautiful scenery, but let down by half-hearted puzzling and some derivative story beats.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World
    Despite hitting most of the right notes, it's so short that it's barely memorable. [June 2011, p.77]

    Wolfenstein: Youngblood
    Youngblood's gorgeous, terrible world is worth exploring, despite a slight narrative and oppressively boring progression systems.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Chrome
    While the idea of creating a more "realistic" sci-fi shooter is a good one, Chrome never rises above some bad design decisions and an overall lack of polish... The next mediocre shooter. [Jan 2004, p.115]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Deliver Us Mars
    A serious display of sci-fi storytelling talent, even if the production falls short of space age.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    West of Dead
    A fine balancing act of challenge and intrigue, with stabiliser wheels courtesy of Ron Perlman's voice.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Rhem 3: The Secret Library
    Rhem 3 doesn't reinvent the graphic adventure genre "Myst" pioneered in the 1990's--it downgrades it, if anything--but it does make the argument that sheer quantity can sometimes trump visual quality. [June 2008, p.72]

    EVE: Valkyrie
    Strong first impressions make this ideal when showing off your new Rift headset, but there's little to keep you flying beyond those first few moments. [Tested with Oculus Rift]
    • 69 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The Shrouded Isle
    A streamlined, easy-to-play strategy game with a uniquely dark premise that's ideal for sporadic sessions. [Nov 2017, p.83]

    Ashes of the Singularity
    Ashes of the Singularity delivers thoughtful real-time strategy with tons of units in play, but drab maps and a poor story.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Age of Empires: Definitive Edition
    With Definitive Editions of the later installments on the horizon, Age of Empires is once again poised to be overshadowed. If you have an overwhelming sense of nostalgia about the birth of the series, this does an excellent job of preserving it while making it considerably more palatable, but for a trip down memory lane, it sure is expensive.
