    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An amazingly deep and unique roleplaying experience but marred by roadblock mechanics and repetitive game elements (Hollingworth). A deep and fascinating world with a compelling narrative and large degree of player agency (Wilks) [Issue#260, p.53]

    A love story. A private story. A rare privilege. [Jan 2012, p.40]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Hong Kong features a wonderful story but patience is required due to the glacial pace with which it progresses. [Oct 2015, p.56]

    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It seems Gas Powered Games has really been listening to the fans because forged Alliance builds on the Supreme Commander legacy to make a great game downright amazing. [Jan 2008, p.58]

    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An incredibly tight, good looking single player experience, the anti-CoD if you will. [July 2014, p.50]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A surprisingly rich survival horror game that doesn't try to frighten you so much as leave you feeling slightly uneasy. [June 2012, p.65]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Quite possibly as good as it gets when it comes to sci-fi horror. [Nov 2014, p.48]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It rises above its problems to provide the kind of RPG that reminds you what made the genre so great in the first place. This game was a labour of love for CD Projekt and it shows. [Jan 2008, p.53]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If the first episode is a fair indicator for the rest of the season, this could very well be 2013's The Walking Dead. [March 2013, p.88]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A nice-enough end to a stellar first episodic outing, but some will find the puzzles lacking. [Feb 2010, p.61]

    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Loot interacts with combat far better than Death's abilities. [Oct 2012, p.68]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though it oozes atmosphere, frequent and irritating monster encounters tarnish an otherwise solid shooter. [May 2010, p.56]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Beautiful to look at and a thrill to play, Blur combines speed, strategy and style into a thoroughly entertaining package. [Aug 2010, p.62]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A solid game that could use a little more hand holding, but otherwise another great effort from Relic. [Jan 2015, p.58]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fast and flashy combat in a shallow fantasy world. For the solo MMO player only. [Apr 2012, p.62]
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is the freshest that Sam & Max have been in a while. [July 2010, p.60]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A deeply flawed yet passably entertaining co-op genre mash-up. [Christmas 2009, p.52]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The missed potential of the Napoleon story and some dodgy AI make this one a fun, but not essential, Total War game. [Apr 2010, p.50]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A bold experiment in semi-interactive narrative that doesn't quite succeed. [Issue#249, p.58]

    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you liked Lemmings but thought it could do with more brain munching, this is the game for you. [Issue#254, p.68]

    Creepy and cute in equal measure, Little Nightmares is a short but tense ride. [Issue#262, p.65]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The story is trite but the action, Pawn system and inclusion of DLC made Dragon's Dogma: DA a very compelling purchase. [Issue#248, p.64]

    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A celebration of speed and movement. [Jan 2010, p.86]

    If this is what Ubisoft is capable of in ts "spare time", it deserves more time off. Inject this glorious blue neon goop into our veins. [June 2013, p.82]
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Revenant Kingdom is one of those games that suffers for being a sequel to something that was a bit special. It's a good oddball JRPG. But Wrath of the White Witch had great storytelling, compelling characters, and epic boss fights. Revenant Kingdom just feels... smaller.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Beyond Earth is the finest thing that Firaxis has made and a game that we suspect we'll be playing for a long time to come. [Dec 2014, p.52]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    One of the best bat-and-ballers since Breakout itself.

    Beating the shit out of incoming musical notes has never been this much fun. [Issue#252, p.70]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Some rough edges, but this is the finest RPG to emerge in many years. [Nov 2014, p.56]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A loving celebration of bullet-hell, which relishes its intricate perfection without the distraction of a whole game's worth of content. [Sept 2011, p.63]
