It's a shame that the gameplay is so linear because the tech truly is astounding. [Issue#198, p.103]- Play UK

Far more interesting than it first appears. [Issue#208, p.98]- Play UK

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]- Play UK

It's compulsive - as all good action RPGs need to be - but lacks the quality to make it a game for all tastes. [Issue#215, p.80]- Play UK

Giving multiplayer maps a score is like reviewing a mug. Does it work? Yes, it does. Job done. Go home. [Issue#215, p.83]- Play UK

Holding right on the D-pad just gets boring before long. And why's Sonic gone and got all rude? [Issue #147, p.82]- Play UK

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]- Play UK

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]- Play UK

Diehard fans of the previous two games will have just as much fun this time around, assuming they aren’t expecting broad innovations. Everything is polished and this is clearly a title with a lot of funding behind it, but all the money in the world can’t buy innovation. By no means a bad sequel, it doesn’t quite offer a way for Dead Space to evolve as a series beyond its past two instalments, even if the formula here is still potent.- Play UK

The combat system works and is intricate and balanced enough to provide for the tinkerers. But the rest is just so banal, so by the numbers that, honestly? We often found ourselves bored. [Issue#234, p.74]- Play UK

Squad Command does have its flaws but cloaks them with a mix of short missions and streamlined gameplay, making good use of the Warhammer license. [Issue#161, p.99]- Play UK

There's no two ways about it, Heavy Rain is better with a pad. [Issue#198, p.96]- Play UK

In achieving immediate accessibility, the game has lost a lot of its depth, meaning you'll be racking up gold medals with little effort. [Apr 2006, p.91]- Play UK

If you don't [own Buzz on PS3] then this is a good, family-friendly game and a reasonable way to spend an beery evening. [Issue#185, p.83]- Play UK

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]- Play UK

It's fresh Skyrim and a lot of it, which is obviously good. On the other hand, the wonky design of the Vampire Lord undermines what should be the standout idea, and so there's a strong whiff of disappointment also present in Dawnguard. [Issue#229, p.72]- Play UK

Combos are just a matter of bashing button but you can augment these attacks by using your special moves. [Issue#154, p.82]- Play UK

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]- Play UK

It's moreish, even if it doesn't scratch the deepest of gaming itches. [Issue#212, p.99]- Play UK

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]- Play UK

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]- Play UK

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

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]- Play UK

A fun but short-lived futuristic romp that, despite not stepping too far outside of the third-person shooter box, likes to poke its head out and have a look around from time to time. [Issue#216, p.79]- Play UK

The simple level editor certainly lends it a lot of value, but Age Of Booty had one of those too and that didn’t cost this much.- Play UK
