A great-looking game with a hell of a lot of content hidden inside it, but the steep difficulty curve and lack of real progression may not sit too well with more casual players. [Issue#269, p.82]

It still isn't perfect as we'd like, but UFC 2 is a model sequel. It's prettier, more accessible and with more content and superior modes. Its a solid entry. TKO. [Issue#269, p.80]

It will wrap itself around any adventure game fan and refuse to let them go, regardless of whether they have any nostalgia for the original or not. [Issue#269, p.78]

Brutal, yet hugely rewarding, Dirt Rally both understands and respects its eponymous sport. It doesn't patronise with gimmicky mechanics, nor is it a dry, joyless simulation. [Issue#269, p.76]

A technical marvel, and a loyal homage to its predecessors. Insomniac has made a triumphant return to the franchise that made it famous. Play it for entertainment, not challenge. [Issue#269, p.74]

Not exactly the tight arcade racer some might have been expecting. [Issue#269, p.72]

Packed with some of the series' most remarkable areas and encounters, Dark Souls III is an invigorating action-RPG that is undoubtedly one of the best games on PS4. [Issue#269, p.69]

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]

While not without foibles, Garden Warfare 2 stands out in an overcrowded genre and delivers a polished, deep and substantial dose of shooter action. [Issue#268, p.72]

The most innovative Far Cry since the second game, Primal is a tremendously enthralling streamlining of the series, and a powerful trip back in time. [Issue#268, p.70]

Hitman strips the series back to its satisfying, and winning, formula. A few technical issues aren't enough to ruin a strong start to Agent 47's new episodic campaign. [Issue#268, p.68]

Surprising, compelling and built to last, Ubisoft clearly has a new tentpole on its hands. You could wait for the sequel, but don't do that - The Division is great. [Issue#268, p.65]

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]

You don't even have to be a Naruto fan to feel the love, but it sure helps. [Issue#267, p.72]

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]

An intensely satisfying and stupendously intelligent puzzle game that's incredibly well crafted, making it a very early, yet solid, Game of the Year contender. [Issue#267, p.62]

It leaves much to be desired in terms of content, but the quality of what is there and how it will evolve over the months makes this a top tier fighter that is going to get better over time. [Issue#267, p.59]

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]

Cruel and unforgiving yet wonderfully satisfying when it comes together, Nuclear Throne is an accomplished roguelike capable of challenging even the most skilled players. [Issue#266, p.72]

Yes it's expensive, but it's also a beautifully presented shooter with deep gameplay mechanics, satisfying boss encounters and excellent level design. [Issue#266, p.70]

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]

Sumptuous visuals disguise a somewhat lacking and repetitive game. [Issue#266, p.66]

A fitting tribute to the PS2 classic, albeit on that will struggle to hold the attention of those without solid rhythm action skills or fond memories of the original. [Issue#266, p.64]

Unabashedly hardcore, Superbeat demands patience, commitment and fast fingers. If you have at least most of those qualities, give it a go - you might find a new obsession on Vita. [Issue#265, p.80]

Frustrating technical issues are never far away. [Issue#265, p.78]

A slight but superior multiplayer experience. What it lacks in single-player content, Rainbow Six Siege makes up in sheer quality. Just remember to use voice chat. [Issue#265, p.76]

Harsh, unrelenting and imaginative, The Old Hunters is a superb gaming experience and a masterclass in DLC development. [Issue#265, p.74]

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]

While nailing a huge combo still feels incredible, the fact that the skill aspect of the game has been massacred by bugs, glitches and poor design makes this throwback difficult to recommend. [Issue#263, p.70]

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]

Riddled with shameless fan service, supported by actually decent production values. The biggest (read: best) change the Warriors formula has seen in years. [Issue#263, p.66]

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]

An excellent game that manages to make up for its lack of content with great mechanics and superb presentation, Devastation is Platinum doing what Platinum does best. [Issue#263, p.62]

It has some minor technical problems, but the care that Bluepoint has put into The Nathan Drake Collection makes it clear that this is far more than a rudimentary cash-in. [Issue#263, p.60]

A unique, clever, satisfying and endearing game. There's very little negative to say about this brilliant time-travelling shooter - we enjoyed every second of our time with it. [Issue#262, p.74]

A solidly-built, good-looking and immensely fun American football experience. Madden is only let down by a few engine gripes and the limitations of the sport it emulates. [Issue#262, p.72]

A smart, contained, neatly-written sci-fi story filled with excellent sequences and set-ups. The scares are light, but Soma is one of the best horror games in years. [Issue#262, p.70]

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]

We would like some improvements to modes and presentation, but the on-pitch action is of such stellar quality that PES 2016 remains the champion. [Issue#262, p.66]

A functional open world game, Mad Max captures none of what makes its source material great. Missions are uninteresting, the world is dead and there are next to no damn car chases. [Issue#262, p.64]

A complete overhaul of the core game, boating improvements across the board. Bungie has raised the bar and reeled us back in, making a year-old game fresh and exciting all over again. [Issue#262, p.62]

Progressive and intelligent, FIFA 16 is a much more considered and more precise game than its recent predecessors, and it's an absolute delight to play. [Issue#262, p.60]

Some will be put off by the lack of action and wonky pacing, but those who stick around will experience one of the best videogame stories of recent years. [Issue#261, p.72]

An amusing adventure with a high-quality production value that feels like it's being loyal to the genre, even as it adds some welcome modernising flourishes. [Issue#261, p.70]

The difficulty will leave some cold but there's immense satisfaction to be had here. [Issue#261, p.68]

A little different to what we were expecting, Until Dawn is still a great experience for horror enthusiasts, and something we really hope Supermassive builds on in the future. [Issue#261, p.66]

Mechanically superb, amazing to look at and offering as much MGS nonsense as players wish to indulge in. The Phantom Pain is everything we hoped it would be. [Issue#261, p.63]

A confident and intriguing story game with a[n] interesting paranormal puzzle mechanic that actually trusts you to work things out for yourself rather than hold your hand. [Issue#260, p.74]

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]

One of the best racers on PS4. [Issue#260, p.68]

The AI is utter junk, the modes are basic and limited and solo offline play is basically worthless. But as far as multiplayer experiences go, Rocket League is wonderful. [Issue#260, p.66]

A superb port of one of the best games in the series. [Issue#260, p.64]

An old game that's still beautiful underneath, despite its aging skin. [Issue#259, p.74]

Pretty much the perfect way to get ready to rise up in the upcoming Street Fighter V. [Issue#259, p.72]

It feels like the franchise does need a rethink. [Issue#259, p.70]

Stunning. [Issue#259, p.68]

Bungie seems to be slowly turning Destiny into the game it always had the potential to be. [Issue#258, p.74]

A well-written love letter to the classic games of the Eighties that blends a variety of classic platformers into a game that works regardless of any nostalgia. We dig it. [Issue#258, p.72]

An emotionally impactful tale that's enhanced by the game's commitment to its thematic core of memory, but one that can get frustrating due to its rather tricky puzzles. [Issue#258, p.71]

The action sequences are some of the best on PS4 and William Blazkowicz is still a badass. [Issue#258, p.68]

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]

Beneath the lavish art style and the high quality production..., Broken Age ends up feeling rather empty and desolate. [Issue#257, p.72]

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]

China's overall simplicity and blandness means you won't be returning soon. [Issue#257, p.68]

In a series first, this is actually an accomplished fighter as well as being a gruesome theater of punishment. [Issue#257, p.66]

Quality like this doesn't tend to arrive until way later in a generation, so we doff our caps to the team at CDPR for breaking tradition to deliver one of the best RPGs we've ever played. [Issue#247, p.60]

Stylish and superbly designed. [Issue#256, p.73]

Bad pacing. [Issue#256, p.70]

A passable and unspectacular campaign is unlikely to win any new fans, but Hardline's fresh take on Battlefield multiplayer makes it worth a shot. [Issue#256, p.68]

The hype is real - From Software did not disappoint. Bloodborne is amazing, and easily the best triple-A exclusive on PS4 so far. Come have a horrible time in Yharnam with us. [Issue#256, p.65]

Fan service galore can't save this one from mediocrity. [Issue#255, p.70]

It may not look like one, but Type-0 is a great PS4 game. [Issue#255, p.64]

The technical quality of the remaster might be in question, but the quality of the game itself is not. [Issue#254, p.70]

The definitive version of a good fighting game, but the limited visual upgrades for PS4 fall way short of our expectations. [Issue#254, p.68]

With the right people on your side, Evolve can be a surprising blast. However, get lumped with utter idiots, or the shoddy AI, and it quickly becomes very, very frustrating. [Issue#254, p.66]

With some crazy fun online elements and a badass sense of actual achievement, Dying Light is the zombie game we've been working for. Just mute those terrible voices. [Issue#254, p.64]

Excelling in so many aspects, from its eye-popping visual style and electronic soundtrack, through to its perfectly balanced twin-stick action and smart, surprising story, Wrong Number lives up to the legacy of the original. We’d go so far as to say it’s essential.

Even a couple of odd design decisions don't get in the way of the high-octane thrills here, thankfully. [Issue#253, p.70]

An excellent adaptation that captures the core elements that has made its source material so successful and one that lays strong foundations for the episodes to come. [Issue#253, p.68]

If it had flawless platforming, reactive bosses, and a tighter difficulty curve, then we'd be head-over-heels for Teslagrad, but as it is, it's just a good little puzzle platformer that often frustrates. [Issue#253, p.66]

A fair remaster of a classic, Resident Evil is a game that holds up pretty well, but one that those not nostalgic enough likely won't enjoy as much as returning STARS veterans will. [Issue#253, p.64]

It's good for fans of the series, but you can get better standalone DLC, or a more satisfying open world. [Issue#253, p.62]

Stunning, entertaining and essential for anyone who enjoys a scrap. [Issue#253, p.60]

Yes, it’s pretty short. Yes, it’s pretty linear. But the varied action is great, the visuals peerless and production values off the charts. In terms of a pure showcase for what PS4 can really do, look no further.

A reduced price point for two of the best games from their respective platforms is a no-brainer. Square has done a fantastic job bringing these games up to modern standards. [Issue#252, p.72]

Sure to have us hooked for the forseeable future. [Issue#252, p.70]

Easily up there with Resogun and Trials Fusion among PS4's best score attack games, Dimensions is the return to form we feared we would never see but are so glad that we have. [Issue#252, p.68]

Despite the fact that this entry does make some genuine improvements, it fails to innovate enough to save the series. [Issue#252, p.66]

Despite some awkward dialogue when you make the "wrong" choices, stilted movement, and laughably fickle facial expressions, we're still looking forward to the rest of the series. [Issue#252, p.64]

Temple of Osiris struggles to captivate or entertain, even in its strongest moments. [Issue#252, p.62]
