    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]

    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]

    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]

    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]

    It's fun flying about and pressing the missile button when the target gets red. It's just it's not so fun when missions take up to half an hour on the later stages; it really does get a bit repetitive after a while. [Issue 144, p.76]

    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]

    Personally, we love Team17's game, but the concept is starting to grate a little now. [Issue#201, p.99]

    One of the best fighting games ever, hampered by one of the worst fighting-game controllers ever. [Issue 141, p.91]

    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]

    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]

    A superb snowboarding game, but if you've already given it a thorough going-over on the PS2 it probably isn't worth sparing it a second thought. [Apr 2006, p.116]

    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]

    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]

    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]

    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]

    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 might not light the world on fire, but Mini Ninjas is a good, solid game. [Issue#74, p.74]

    While the core gameplay is still excellent, stunt runs, upgradeable vehicles and connectivity with cash-hungry iOS release Trials Frontier all nudge Fusion further away from that classic, pure game of mastery where only player skill matters.

    If you're into games like "Devil May Cry" or "God Hand" where no punch is pulled, Prinny is totally worth a look, dood. [Issue#181, p.81]

    Not the vastly different experience we might have expected, but no less welcome as a result. FFIII-2 comes recommended for those who didn't get enough from the last game - however, those who were unconvinced are going to remain just that. [Issue#214, p.74]

    A robust and rewarding Souls-like. We'd rather it deviated from its source material a little more but there's no denying what's in front of you is worth the price of admission. [Issue#269, p.84]

    There's no faulting the fighting here - it's balanced, it's brutal, it's beautiful, it's brilliant. It's easily up there with the essential multiplayer titles on PS3. Yet the supporting single-player modes are so flimsy and weak, we have to deduct marks. [Issue#214, p.78]
