    DICE, please. Slow down, put the brakes on, and take your time. As Battlefield 4 shows, a two-year cycle isn't worth the rush. [Jan 2014, p.86]

    It doesn't fix larger flaws, but it's still a solid expansion. [Jan 2014, p.80]

    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Makes up for the failings of AC3, delivering a fantastic, engaging open world experience. [Jan 2014, p.78]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Arguably the best in the series, but also very much a retread of F1 2012. [December 2013, p.95]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    There's never been a batter time to replay Human Revolution; especially with the devs in your ear explaining why things are broken. [December 2013, p.94]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    You can't go wrong with sticking to Rocksteady's Bat-formula, however it is starting to feel a little played out. [December 2013, p.93]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An interesting story brought low by rote combat and a rather uninspiring graphics engine. [December 2013, p.92]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    No matter which way you slice its solid shooting mechanics, it still doesn't feel like Shadow Warrior. [December 2013, p.90]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 86 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Once you get a hang of the numerous systems, Path of Exile becomes one of the best action-RPG experiences you can have. [December 2013, p.88]

    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Addictive, but not necessarily rewarding. [December 2013, p.86]
    • 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
    • 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
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Occasionally funny but mostly rather rote, How to Survive drowns under the weight of the developer's ambition. [December 2013, p.83]
    • 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]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A dread-drenched take on hide-and-seek which will mesmerise some, and alienate most. [December 2013, p.80]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A combination of sublime and ridiculous, Saints Row IV is outlandish fun. [Nov 2013, p.97]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Devoid of plot, yet highly recommended on the strength of its combat. Beautifully balanced, complex and challenging. [Nov 2013, p.96]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    An unrelenting torrent of gore and terror that plays your nerves like a fiddle...until all the strings break. [Nov 2013, p.94]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Somehow retains the series' trademark braininess and complexity while being clearer, simpler and far more fun. [Nov 2013, p.92]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 47 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Glimmers of that CS charm, but needs another year in development and local servers before standing alongside such heavyweights. [Nov 2013, p.91]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An incredibly unique and atmospheric game about discovery. If only the discoveries didn't feel so far apart. [Nov 2013, p.90]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 69 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    If you found Proteus poignant and Gone Home felt like going home, Shelter will break your heart. [Nov 2013, p.88]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Volgarr does difficulty really well - but there's nothing here for anyone who doesn't like the taste of their own tears. [Nov 2013, p.87]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Such well-executed atmosphere and level design could greatly improve with just a few tweaks to the items and systems. [Nov 2013, p.86]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Versatile, detailed play combines with alternative history to provide hours of squishing little men under heavy automatons. [Nov 2013, p.84]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    World of Warplanes is a P-51B Mustang; out-turned, out climbed and outdived by the superior P-51D that is War Thunder. [Nov 2013, p.82]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 76 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    If you will play literally anything featuring Total War and Rome in the same title and don't value your time, this is for you. [Nov 2013, p.80]

    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If the online performance issues can be fixed, Arma III will be the finest military simulation ever created. [Nov 2013, p.78]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A competent tactical shooter that doesn't push any boundaries and is only peripherally related to XCOM. [Oct 2013, p.96]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's not the desire for cash or gold that'll keep you coming back, but the desire to pull off the perfect heist. [Oct 2013, p.94]
