    There's brilliance here... but unfortunately it's almost completely obscured by general clumsiness and hasty game design. A rush job pur sang.

    The exosuit launches the series to new, refreshing and necessary heights, giving both single- and multiplayer a major leg up. Let's also give a shout-out to Kevin Spacey, who truly amazes in the role of ultimate bad guy Jonathan Irons.

    A deep, challenging game, clearly inspired by From Software's Dark Souls series, Lords of the Fallen manages to make quite an impression. It's a shame both story and graphics aren't up to par with the amazing gameplay.
    • 37 Metascore

    There are a few cute things in here, but overall it's more of Cluster F.ck than a Fluster Cluck... if that makes sense.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Nothing too special, with a bare career mode, disappointing AI and underdeveloped animations. Could (and should) have been a lot better than this poor attempt at an MX vs. ATV game.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Extremely gory, at times damn creepy and masterfully designed... but also unbalanced, confusing and relying on trial & error throughout most of its admittedly long runtime.

    More of the same, but since "the same" is still a lot of fun, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel remains warmly recommended.

    Activision manages to keep their franchise fresh to an almost abnormal degree. The best part of the series so far.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    F1 2014 feels like a step back when compared to the previous game in the franchise, especially since the classic mode has been left out this time around. It's still a fine racing game, but fans might want to wait for the next one.

    It's a bit dumbed down and the graphics are sub-par, but other than that, Crimes and Punishments is a definite step in the right direction.

    Finally a truly decent Lord of the Rings game, with an intriguing story, quality gameplay and exciting setting.

    Great concept done too often without any significant additions or improvements when compared to the previous iteration.

    A nice little treat to fill in the downtime between the big releases. Nothing more, nothing less.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    An interesting mix of different genres that managed to entertain us the whole way through. The mediocre story, annoying soundtrack and at times chaotic gameplay keep it from reaching the absolute top.

    • 70 Critic Score
    The Marvel-expansion is the biggest addition, though there's a hell of a lot more new stuff to experience in this Disney-flavoured sequel. It's still not great though; the graphics are disappointing, the loading times rather long and the co-op mode unresponsive. Still, if you love Disney and Marvel... why the hell not.
    • 82 Metascore

    More realistic. More emotional. Less predictable. Sounds great, doesn't it? It is.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Real golf fans might like the experience, as well as the elaborate level editor that is included. The lack of a proper tutorial makes it rather difficult for newcomers, however, while slow menus and an annoying amount of facedrops bring the game down for just about anyone. There's some potential here, though.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's a bit short and the controls are at times quite clumsy, but that doesn't keep this visually unique and overall intriguing platforming experience from being highly recommendable.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a well-made game, especially in co-op, but repetitive gameplay and a story that fails to intrigue keeps it from becoming something truly great. As of now, Destiny unfortunately hasn't reached its full potential yet.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A nice improvement on the previous game, definitely in the story and combat departments. If it weren't for a couple of boring parts, it might have received a much higher score. The lack of Japanese voice-acting isn't exactly a plus either.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's not a huge game in terms of context, but the highly enjoyable gameplay makes it well worth the wait.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    This should never have come out on PS3, as evidenced by a sh.tload of technical issues. If you absolutely want this at best mediocre experience, we advise you go for the PC version.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a short game and the 3D perspective is lacking at times. However, those are the only flaws in an otherwise highly enjoyable title in a well-designed Cold War setting. Recommended.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A brilliant closing chapter to the second season of The Walking Dead, defined by absolutely devastating emotional choices and interesting plot twists. Let's hope the third season isn't too far away.
    • 83 Metascore

    Two great and atmospheric games for a more-than-reasonable price? Not a bad deal. Not bad at all.

    Hohokum is a weird game above all else. The relaxing music and special visual style, however, is held back by clumsy level design.

    Futurlab doubles down and delivers a sequel that beats its predecessor in quality on every level. A must have.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A great puzzle experience with brilliant level design and a unique visual style. If you like this sort of game, you can't miss out on the Swapper.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's a fun, if not exactly deep game that suffers from misplaced humour, uninspired voice-acting and an unhealthy amount of framedrops. Hack and slash fans might want to try this out. Other gamers might want to spend their money elsewhere.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Basic. Old-school. Basic. Challenging. Basic. Repetitive. Oh, and did I mention basic?
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A unique concept that uses all of Sony's handheld features in a creative way. If you own a Vita and like puzzle games, you might want to consider this, even though some of the moves you need to do in order to play Metrico aren't exactly advisable to do in public.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The Ratchet & Clank games still hold up today. The platform series is a great Vita experience, with beautiful graphics and the characteristic gameplay we've come to know and love. It's a shame the cut-scenes look a little outdated and we don't understand why the developer chose to leave out the multiplayer mode from Ratchet & Clank 3, but otherwise we're very pleased with this handheld collection.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    One of the lesser episodes of the season, due to a lack of intense moments and a slight overload of rather dull activities. Luckily, a couple of plot twists and a superb last-minute cliffhanger keep it from becoming a chore. Though we do think Telltale should fix the framerate. Now. Immediately.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's an enjoyable and accessible shooter, though the lackluster AI, shortage of innovation, uninspired level design and over-used killcam keep it from rising above mediocrity.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Want to race without a proper sense of speed? Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is your game. Feel like playing a game with washed-out graphics and severely disappointing sound effects? Well, you should definitely give Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark a try. Stuck with a craving for clumsy shooting mechanics with a taste of wasted potential? Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark comes highly recommended.

    Newcomers will find MotoGP 14 a difficult experience to jump into and the graphics aren't as appealing as they should be. All things considered, though, this is a very decent racing experience, one that fans of the sport cannot afford to miss.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's simple, a bit too easy and - as far as the story goes - rather confusing. It is however also quite unique, varied and at times very amusing. Consider the pros and cons and make your choice.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    As a cycling game, Le Tour de France 2014 isn't all that bad. There are however far more interesting sports to turn into a videogame and this title suffers from that fact. Even at its best, a virtual tour remains a rather dull experience.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    The gameplay is recognizable and therefore still enjoyable, though the touch features leave a lot to be desired. And was it really necessary to make the tutorial so damn hard?
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A brave, but ultimately failed attempt to reintroduce gamers to the Second World War. Awful AI, disastrous level design, weak textures... name a problem and this game will probably have it in abundance. Skip this.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    EA brings more depth and detail to its fighting game, though a fierce amount of glitches and framedrops keep it from gaining a legendary status. The absence of any kind of historical mode doesn't help much either.
    • 30 Metascore

    Flying with planes has its fun moments and the soundtrack is enjoyable. Everything else about this title, however, is simply abysmal. Don't buy this.

    A truly engaging story told in a unique visual style... there's really not much wrong with Valiant Hearts, even if its replay value isn't all that valiant.

    Some aspects (such as audio and visuals) of GRID Autosport are a bit sloppy, but for the most part this is a decent racing game.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Entwined manages to be both relaxing and challenging, and convinced us with an appealing visual style, interesting audio design and addictive gameplay. Low points include the rather short length of the game and the at times inaccurate controls.
    • 62 Metascore

    Strictly on its own merits, Worms Battlegrounds is a fine game. However, weak graphics and a lack of technical innovation really hurt the experience.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Capcom once more improves upon the original Street Fighter IV with some tweaks and characters lifted from Street Fighter X Tekken. It's not quite new anymore, but fans will definitely want to pick this up.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Murdered: Soul Suspect has a unique concept and backs it up with an intriguing story and a mysterious game world you'll want to explore. Disappointing graphics and slightly unoriginal gameplay keep it from becoming a game to die for, but it's still worth your time and money.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Transistor puts a unique spin on the turn-based RPG concept everyone loves and, surprisingly, pulls it off. The game has a steep learning curve, but strong visuals and an interesting story will keep you playing.

    Kratos hits it out of the park once more, only this time he shows that greatness may rest in the palm of your hands.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    After two action-heavy episodes, this third part focuses more on the story. Because of this, the interaction is severely limited when compared to previous entries in the franchise, though the story and characters are more than enough to keep you entertained.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Bound By Flame is an ambitious action RPG with a lacklustre story, an annoying camera and disappointing graphics. It's a nice attempt at greatness, though it doesn't quite nail the high notes.
    • 79 Metascore

    Wonderfully old-school, brutally intense and surprisingly interesting as far as the story goes... Wolfenstein aficionados and shooter fans in general will definitely enjoy this.

    Innovative, unique and straight-up impressive in the gameplay department... Ubisoft has created a masterpiece. Yet nobody's perfect, as both the story and graphics could have been done better.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The web swinging's the best it's ever been, but the uninspired story, buggy game world and haphazardly thrown together gameplay elements make for an awkward, ill-structured and often downright unfinished gaming experience. The human spider deserves better.

    A Slender clone that actually gets things right... mostly.
    • 75 Metascore

    A weird, but unique game that's fun to play once. There's hardly any replay value though and the gameplay's rather repetitive.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This game is quite unique, thanks to its visual style, overall atmosphere and interesting storyline. The gameplay is traditional, however, though Ubisoft managed to keep it intriguing by implementing a captivating combat system. This one comes highly recommended for RPG fans.
    • 73 Metascore

    A nice, though quite unnecessary, virtual World Cup experience. Might have been better as DLC.

    The Vita-version of Football Manager Classic 2014 is both a hit and a miss. On the one hand the game contains all the necessary features and the short challenges are ideal for a handheld title. On the other hand, however, the touchscreen at times makes navigation way too difficult and it's a shame you can't watch the matches live. Well, you can't have everything, I suppose.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Octodad is a unique and above all hilarious experience, mostly because of the downright weird controls. Unfortunately, these controls can make the game completely unplayable for people with less than optimal motor skills.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Basically the same experience as it is on PS3 and PS4 predecessors, but the game is a bit too dark and the camera too far away from the action to call this a really successful port to Sony's handheld system. It's still worth buying if you haven't played any of the other versions, though.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Boring level design, a lack of innovation and uninspired extras make this frustratingly difficult game hardly worth playing. Skip it.

    Where did the space shooters go? Well, Strike Suit Zero brings them back. If you don't mind the story being boring, the lack of checkpoints a bit frustrating and the absence of decent voice acting annoying, you'll be fine.

    A remake of a remake that stands on its own on the PlayStation Vita.
    • 70 Metascore

    The game looks and feels nostalgic with its 2D gameplay and challenging gameplay. However, the endless grinding and re-using of level design eventually make it an incredibly repetitive and overall tedious experience.

    Business as usual... though this time Traveller's Tales has added some much needed improvements and additions to the otherwise solid formula of the LEGO games. If you're a fan of either The Hobbit or the LEGO franchise, you should definitely check this out.

    A return to the old days, in a very good way. If you're into pinball, you'll definitely want to pick this up.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    This game might just be too odd for its own good. The story is a bit ridiculous, the gameplay repetitive beyond comprehension and overall quite lacking. The hacking and slashing part works fine, though an unhealthy amount of frame drops and weird camera angles make for an overall very frustrating experience.
    • 87 Metascore

    About as addicting as Bomberman, Towerfall Ascension completely caught us by surprise with its retro look, it's well-implemented co-op mode and downright fantastic platforming. Get this.

    Fez
    Fez was already a great game when it appeared on Xbox Live two years ago and this hasn't changed on PlayStation. It's still a challenging puzzle game with varied gameplay and a unique look. If you haven't played this before, you should definitely check it out.

    There aren't too many Motocross games, so Milestone's effort at creating one is definitely appreciated. Still, while the game is quite complete in its content and the body controls are both innovative and enjoyable, the experience isn't without its flaws. Dated animations, lacking online modes and an overabundance of loading screens drag the title down to a mediocre level.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    If you're a fan of the previous editions, you should definitely get this. The stories and atmosphere are still great and the graphical updates really add to the experience. However, the camera's still lacking in places, which is a shame.

    A lot more tense than the previous episode, with a nice balance between dialogue, action and looting. It's a bit shorter than we're used to, though the decrease in framerate issues more than makes up for it.

    Whether you choose to help the citizens of Seattle or fry their brains, you'll probably be having a good time. The first time around, at least. Oh, and did we mention the graphics are absolutely stunning? Well, there you go.

    It's a shame the controls aren't very responsive and we grew tired of the framedrops by the end of the episode, though if you're willing to overlook that, you'll get a great premiere to what promises to be another brilliant season of the Walking Dead videogame. Prepare to be emotionally wrecked, guys - 'cause you sure as hell will be.

    • 80 Critic Score
    This is essentially a twelve-hour long episode of South Park, with sadistic humour, a huge amount of fan-service, classic turn-based gameplay and Variation with a capital V. It's a great game, though we did notice an unhealthy amount of bugs and framerate issues. We're also severely disappointed by the European censorship, which is completely unnecessary.

    Well, this is a bit of a disappointment... The story isn't as gripping as it could have been, the game feels rushed and the visuals aren't as good as you'd expect. It offers closure for the fans, sure, but as the final part of an epic trilogy it doesn't even come close to the mark.

    The love child of Mirror's Edge and Journey, with elements of horror, platform and puzzle games... Master Reboot is hard to grasp in just a couple of words. A unique title that, despite its clunky controls, shouldn't be skipped by any true puzzle fan.

    This game isn't dusty at all! Alright, that may have been a horrible pun, though the amount of variation and great visual style do make this a highly enjoyable platform game. It's sort of sad then that the controls are at times not as responsive as they should be.

    The PlayStation Vita version is faithfully ported to the PlayStation 3 and, as it turns out, does not make as much of an impression on the big screen.

    Your only goal in Don't Starve is to survive. You do this, primarily, by "not starving", though you'll be fending off creatures and looting the graphically unique environments as well. It's a nice survival simulator that is highly recommended to everyone looking for a nice change of pace.
    • 66 Metascore

    At first you'll be having a lot of fun. After a while, though, the gameplay gets terribly repetitive and at times extremely challenging. Some gamers will undoubtedly love this, but most of them won't keep playing all the way to the credits.
