Two very similar factions dull its edge, but Grey Goo’s old-school take on strategy still makes it one of the most interesting new RTS games in years.

A better game than XIII but with an intolerably bad story, this is a still-flawed sequel that clearly isn’t at its best on PC.

Gat Out of Hell offers all the open-world distractions of a Saints Row game, but precious little of what made the last two so remarkable.

A brilliant, brutal survival horror dripping in atmosphere. It’s from the oldest of schools, but still offers a rewarding challenge.

A mod too short on content and aspiration to warrant the price as a standalone release.

In summary, 'wrath' was an apt choice of name. [Feb 2015, p.77]

It's good, but yet another dramatic tale of intrigue in a game already packed with them. [Feb 2015, p.77]

A great game and, with time, potentially a classic. Much rests on Frontier's ability to build on these broad but somewhat shallow foundations.

If you can stomach the plodding matches, Scrolls delivers a rewarding melange of collectible card and tabletop gameplay.

A deep, entertaining stealth sandbox with endless scope for mastery. You kept us waiting, Kojima, but it was worth it.

Satisfying, pen-and-paper-style zombie storytelling that's somewhat blandly presented and burdened by bugs. A worthy RPG that would've benefited from more budget.

There’s no strong sense of place, and nothing to anchor the high falutin ponderings that make up so much of the game. And even if we were to take it at face value, which seems to be impossible, it’s only a snapshot, a vertical slice of this world without much context, making it hard to reach any solid conclusions.

Door Kickers is a difficult, rewarding puzzler so obsessed with its tactical ideas that it rejects all else​—which is probably for the best anyway.

My main complaint is that there isn't enough of it—clever puzzles, shooting, and platforming have zero fat, and make its four hours fly by.

An adept and satisfying puzzle game with a narrative that requires a bit of player investment to yield its biggest rewards.

One of the most exciting racing game environments for years, unfortunately bound to a slew of dull races and superfluous story.

Difficulty spikes aside, this is a great PC edition of a fantastic arcade shooter.

Come for the one of the scariest environments you’ll sweat in, but try not to leave for the punishing level of difficulty.

Defenders of Time multiplayer mode is conceptually interesting, but ultimately not worth trying because of many technical issues and poorly-executed fundamentals.

A beautiful, fascinating exploration of a world that may soon be nothing more than fantasy.

An absurdly entertaining open world playground that’s at its best when it breaks away from script. Shame about those tailing missions.

A powerful reminder of why nobody has ever truly taken Warcraft’s rusty crown.

A stark statement about war delivered through deftly designed stealth survival and resource management. Important, but unrelentingly cruel.

The sentimental, dull, superficially interactive story isn’t worth a few cute moments and some interesting surrealism.

A triumphant return to the top for footballing’s favourite son.

It can be difficult to keep your concentration when all hell is breaking loose, and I found myself pausing the game a fair bit just to get some bearing on what in the name of zombie jeebus was going on. But once the smoke, literally, clears and you come out the other side victorious, there's little more satisfying.

A magnificent city full of exciting assassination missions, marred by broken co-op and technical issues.

Despite being only a minor advance, this is certainly the definitive version of Icewind Dale. That itself is a fun, tough quest that brings back nostalgia for the beauty of the engine and combat system of those days. That makes it a nice stopgap between here and Eternity.
