    Painfully dull, both in looks and entertainment factor. Only the die-hard purists can forgive this ugly, buggy mess. [September 2014, p80]

    Sets a respectable pace for two-wheeled racing on the new gen. That said, the graphical horsepower of the PS4 is still underutilised. [September 2014, p78]

    Packed with added content and smart mechanical revisions. This PS4 version is worth revisiting, even if the original was nacho thing. [September 2014, p77]

    Brutally difficult and timelessly fun. Another World is an important game, but also overpriced. [September 2014, p77]

    Your dyslexia serves you well, this should have been called 'Akiba Strip'. Par for the course brawling with lite-rpging, bewbs, but also some man-bulge, too. [September 2014, p75]

    • 49 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Not broken, just painfully, awfully average and repetitive. Offensive, too. [September 2014, p75]

    A missed opportunity. Entwined could have been something extra special, but is ultimately forgettable instead. [September 2014, p74]

    This 'Western-JRPG' has been faithfully ported. Lack of cross-save/buy is annoying. [September 2014, p73]
    • Playstation Official Magazine Australia
    • 72 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Well presented, technically solid and fun. Runs out of challenge and interesting concepts roughly halfway through, however. [September 2014, p73]

    A hard sell even for die-hard Transformers fans, Rise of the Dark Spark brings nothing new to the table. [September 2014, p72]

    • 77 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Very pretty, but pretty shallow. Unchallenging – both emotionally and as a puzzle-platformer. [September 2014, p71]

    Everything we loath about Eastern European developed games, and nothing we like. [September 2014, p70]

    Has made big steps beyond V2, particularly in terms of level size and multiplayer options. Still requires polish. [September 2014, p68]

    While it lasts, The Swapper is one of the cleverest puzzle games in recent memory, both in terms of its mechanics and philosophical plot. [August 2014, p82]

    Secures the crown as this generation's greatest fighter. That said, will price gouge returning fans. [August 2014, p81]

    A more than solid base to build a fuzzy franchise on. A bit thin on breeds, and the dog voices are rather annoying. [August 2014, p80]

    • 61 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A technically troubled, budget production that tries to compensate with gore and 'edgy' characters that are ultimately obnoxious. [August 2014, p79]

    Offers a great visual upgrade, but the UI and various other tappy mechanics break down in later difficulties. [August 2014, p78]

    Improves upon the original in only minor ways, is still repetitive and reliant on you ignoring its unpolished nature, because bewbs. [August 2014, p77]

    Mechanically, a step up from Assault Horizon, but has barebones solo and is F2P. A nice substitute while we wait for a PS4 Ace Combat. [August 2014, p76]

    Take time to learn its ways, grasshopper, and this will become the most technical and rewarding MMA game you've ever faced. [August 2014, p75]

    Technically sure-footed and still a wonderful multiplayer experience. But overpriced and more rehashed than a Cheech and Chong movie sequel. [August 2014, p74]

    Codies triggered a flashback rewind to correct the mistake that was Grid 2. Weighted towards sim, but fun as well. [August 2014, p72]

    The gameplay and look might not rock your world, but the story just might. [August 2014, p70]

    Local co-op lives on thanks to the unbelievably enjoyable Sportsfriends. [July 2014, p83]

    Daylight wants to scare the pants off of you, but stumbles with the basics instead. Just play Outlast. [July 2014, p83]

    This has all the content you'd expect. But, technically, this production is more troubled than Crazy Earl. It's not watchu want. [July 2014, p82]

    Probably should have kept to the arcades, but worth a look if you've got the extra coin. [July 2014, p82]

    Releasing an Action-RPG this unpolished during the current PS4 drought was opportunistic. That's the best we can say about this. [July 2014, p81]

    All-star Battle is strictly for fans, unless you want Japanese culture to slap you in the face. [July 2014, p80]
