    Maps are darker and more atmospheric. [Feb 2010, p.63]

    Still the best Eastern MMO available for a Western audience. [Jan 2010, p.62]

    Finally, a Lemmings clone that's up there with the game that inspired it. [Feb 2011, p.64]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Weird, casual and simple, but surprisingly deep for what it is. [Mar 2011, p.66]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Unique and beautiful, but barely a game. [Mar 2011, p.71]

    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mildly satisfying. [Mar 2011, p.73]

    • 20 Critic Score
    Also, I'm pretty sure my farm is under surveillance by Interpol, because identical gunmetal grey FWDs keep spooling past on the highway just near my barn. [Mar 2011, p.73]

    • 80 Critic Score
    The best release for EVE in years, another evolutionary step forward. [Apr 2011, p.55]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Preposterous, hilarious, and above all, devious. Tricky doesn't begin to describe it. [June 2011, p.72]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With more campaign missions, this would be easy to recommend. But even as is, it's still good, cheap entertainment. [Aug 2011, p.73]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    And it's this amateurish feeling that pervades the game...Best to swat this fly. [Sept 2011, p.71]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This hallway feels a little narrow. [Nov 2011, p.48]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A modest, modern attempt at a hacking sim that unfortunately doesn't capture the magic of Introverion's classic. [Nov 2011, p.68]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Maybe just spend your four bucks on the soundtrack, and go play Tyrian. [Christmas 2011, p.69]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A strangely serene and evocative game, lying somewhere between strategy and chaos. For the resourceful and imaginative player. [June 2012, p.54]
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An appropriately simplistic arcade update that hits the fun/challenge sweet spot. [June 2012, p.60]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Has its pieces of heart in the right place, but its unholy retro-modern mechanics will leave you unsatisfied. [Oct 2012, p.79]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An ingenious, original puzzler hiding behind a highly difficult barrier. [Oct 2012, p.84]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A fantastic idea for a game that's been stripped of its valuables by the wrong approach to free-to-play. [Oct 2012, p.85]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    It's not really worth going to town on this one. Try one of those crazy finished games. [Feb 2013, p.80]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A fresh, solid roguelike platformer that kills time with as much efficiency as it kills the player. [Feb 2013, p.82]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An acceptable solution for the time-poor, but unless you've played them to death, you're better off with the originals. [Sept 2013, p.90]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Beautiful and mysterious, though more for lovers of tranquil exploration and spherical geometry than serious puzzle fantastic. [Oct 2013, p.84]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    No element of Day One appears stable, polished or functional. Avoid the big green "Add to Cart" button lest you suffer an incident of your own. [December 2013, p.82]

    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Promising, and if it had the time to finish, or even start, it could've been something fairly decent. Oh well. [December 2013, p.84]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A lightweight survival lark, but one that proves itself worthy of the great pun in its title. [December 2013, p.85]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Addictive, but not necessarily rewarding. [December 2013, p.86]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Overall, it just feels too casual, too cartoony. On a tablet that can be forgiven, but as a PC game it seems more than a little limiting. [July 2014, p.63]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Still a gripping wargaming experience, despite an aging engine. Does a great job of capturing the nuances of the campaign. [Sept 2014, p.58]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An immediate feedback loop of risk and reward that rewards those with endurance. [July 2015, p.62]
