    The movement in Mirror's Edge: Catalyst is still strong, but the unlikeable characters and clunky combat get in the way of complete enjoyment. [Issue#253, p.56]

    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Although hobbled with a dull combat system and voice work that lacks any real emotion, the story of The Technomancer is a real pleasure. [Issue#253, p.53]

    • 90 Critic Score
    Beating the shit out of incoming musical notes has never been this much fun. [Issue#252, p.70]

    An excellent port of a great reboot of a beloved fighting game. [Issue#252, p.69]

    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Beautiful, whimsical, difficult and brutal, Ori and the Blind Forest is a thoroughly engrossing platforming experience. [Issue#252, p.]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A great premise hampered by a smirking script, repetitive combat and arbitrary questing. [Issue#252, p.64]

    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Enormous potential, but desperately needs a modding community to realise it. [Issue#252, p.64]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A competent enough shooter, but perhaps a touch too ambitious in its scope. Still, it's a massive improvement on the first Homefront. [Issue#252, p.62]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 85 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A tribute to Doom that leaps to great heights, but fails to fully stick the landing. [Issue#252, p.60]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Not enough content and too much grinding detracts from the great cast of characters and great presentation. [Issue#252, p.58]

    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A slightly flawed version of each, but still an epic combination of two great franchises. [Issue#252, p.54]

    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Another fine example of Blizzard polish. We can't wait to see what they have planned for the future. [Issue#252, p.49]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The mechanics aren't always calibrated to work seamlessly with the difficulty, but even so, HLD is a stunning indie masterpiece. [Issue#251, p.65]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Although the story is a definite middle section, the strategy and stakes of Banner Saga 2 are greatly improved. [Issue#251, p.64]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 53 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fun combat and a genuinely funny script rescue this incredibly lazy port. [Issue#251, p.63]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A little too ambitious for its own good, Aurio still shows serious promise for Cameroonian game development. [Issue#251, p.62]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A little too abrupt to be entirely satisfying, 1979 Revolution is still a powerful and memorable slice of history. [Issue#251, p.60]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Investing in this quirky take on RTS risks a return of buyer's remorse. [Issue#251, p.58]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 66 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Quantum Break is a great game on Xbone, but shoddy PC optimisation and the issues associated with the Win 10 store fundamentally break the game. [Issue#251, p.55]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Yeah it looks amazing but [*FISTBUMPS*] do not a good racing game make. [Issue#250, p.69]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    At times too slavish a recreation of tabletop action, Armada is nonetheless entertaining and challenging. [Issue#250, p.68]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Not the best port, but not the worst either. The game, on the other hand, is one of the best you'll ever play. [Issue#250, p.65]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A disappointing collection of technical issues mar an otherwise beautiful cover-based shooter that still kicks arse. [Issue#250, p.62]

    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    We urge you to try and understand Hitman's environment, take action within it and control it as much as you possibly can. [Issue#250, p.60]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fun for a while, but less than the sum of its parts. [Issue#250, p.57]

    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An immersive environment and interesting story. It can be hard and could do with clearer text. [Issue#249, p.64]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Pretty, punishing, frustrating and great in equal measure. Deathsmiles is what bullet hell is all about. [Issue#249, p.62]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fresh take on survival, but narrower in scope than it should be. [Issue#249, p.61]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 72 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Sparse with its controls, Layers of Fear nonetheless delivers a rich, immersive, and - most importantly - really bloody scary game. [Issue#249, p.60]
    • PC PowerPlay
    • 81 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A bold experiment in semi-interactive narrative that doesn't quite succeed. [Issue#249, p.58]
