    A stealth title with good ideas that help it stand out from other titles, Republique also tells a compelling story until it all falls apart in its terrible fourth episode. [Issue#268, p.78]

    With less personality than a Dynasty Warriors game, totally forgettable story and sparse content, Arslan is only somewhat redeemed by its minor combat improvements. [Issue#268, p.76]

    Despite some technical issues and minor frustrations, this parody of American patriotism and action hero stereotypes offers a hell of a lot of destructive fun. [Issue#268, p.74]

    Not A Hero tries so hard to be irreverent that it hurts, but, in the grand scheme of things, the game is still fairly fun. Just don't be astounded if it fails to hold your attention for long. [Issue#267, p.76]

    A lifeless case of quantity over quality that strives for great heights but technically falls short in every department. Despite the name attached to it, it's not a winner. [Issue#267, p.74]

    It's gorgeous, it truly is, but Unravel falls short of being the emotionally engaging game we were expecting. It's still fun, but feels much hollower than it clearly intended to be. [Issue#267, p.70]

    Brilliantly written on a small scale, Firewatch creates believable and engaging characters but is let down by the nonsensical tale they become embroiled in. [Issue#267, p.68]

    Despite a few little things that we'd change, this is an interesting and, at times, thought-provoking experience that deserves to be exposed to a wider audience on PS4. [Issue#267, p.66]

    While it's shackled by its source material and clearly running out of steam, there are nonetheless flashes of brilliance in TT Games' latest Lego adventure. [Issue#267, p.64]

    Certainly charming and different enough to be worth a look, especially given the relative lack of decent Vita titles. But its core structure lacks finesse, and some won't see this fairytale through to its end. [Issue#229, p.83]

    Amazingly bland and perfunctory vehicular action, with seemingly no-one online to play with. Instantly forgettable. Our advice: just keep playing Rocket League. [Issue#266, p.68]

    Spectacular production values help to make this game enjoyable in the early going, but it soon enough shows that it is painfully lacking in terms of maps and depth in its current form. [Issue#265, p.72]

    SuperChargers gambles by mixing up the Skylanders formula, but overall it pays off. Vehicles are a welcome addition to another solid (if prohibitively expensive) adventure. [Issue#263, p.72]

    An excellent Lego crossover game, and it's a solid toys-to-life-tie-in. The price is pretty steep, but Dimensions gives you plenty of reasons to invest. [Issue#263, p.68]

    Even with its lack of features, Rock Band 4 is still as fun as the series has ever been with friends. Expect the score to rise as Harmonix comes good with updates and new content. [Issue#263, p.64]

    While numerous changes and enhancements have been made to Tearaway Unfolded, it never flows quite as well as the Vita original. It's still fun, mind. [Issue#262, p.68]

    There's a good game hidden in here somewhere, but believe us when we say it's been buried pretty well and we're pretty sure that it's not going to surface any time soon. [Issue#260, p.72]

    The core game mechanics and systems are as solid as ever for the most part, but the game engine is wobbly and the sheer lack of content is just impossible to ignore. [Issue#260, p.70]

    Graphically stunning, dynamically awesome, aurally beautiful. This is what Project Cars could have been if pest control had done a better job exterminating those pesky bugs. [Issue#258, p.66]

    It's problems lie in design, though - the largely empty world seems almost superfluous and you'll come away from each encounter triumphant, but lacking any sort of reward. [Issue#257, p.70]
