Gets the big moments right. [Sept 2014, p.105]

Enchanting. [May 2018, p.81]

Rockstar is the master of horror. [Christmas 2010]

Only a slight lack of polish lets things down. Although it's generally a pretty game, poor character models and clipping make the cast of genero-men look like beardy versions of Morph. For all the novels sold, Clancy's PS3 titles still can't tell a compelling story, either. Yet with such a brilliantly playful toolset and strong online features (including four-player campaign co-op and a compelling wave-based Guerrilla mode) this is the most impressive soldier since that blue American bloke with the indestructible shield.

A remaster rather than a new game - a Now That's What I Call Puzzling of classic skins and tracks - this is still one of PS4's premiere puzzlers. [Issue#152, p.93]

The most authentic sports game available on PS3 at present. [May 2007, p.112]

The visuals are an improvement on My Hero One’s Justice, but there’s still a lack of English dub, despite the series’ popularity. This is a game made for fans, and it’s clear Byking’s staff are fans themselves. Plus Ultra! [Issue#174, p.92]

Like a puzzle world mini-GTA 2 where failure can be as much fun as success, Mugsters is a shot in the arm of original thinking. All in all, a minor work of genius. [Issue#152, p.80]

Purists may be put off by the lack of deep side-quests, but for everyone else this is a tongue in cheek adventure that offers something different from the usual RPG fare. [May 2007, p.114]

It all adds up to the perfect environment for a game that rewards timing, perception and strategy in a way that just about any gamer can understand. But don't be intimidated by the good looks and graceful moves; shimmy on over and get to know Soulcalibur V. You've got nothing to regret but the shakes.

Delightful but requiring a deft touch to master, this really is golf for everybody. [Aug 2008, p.104]

If you're a brave soul hunting a hard game to treasure, you'll find what you seek in La-Mulana. [May 2015, p.87]

Playing with four is the most fun. [Aug 2009, p.115]

The very occasional framerate stutter aside, LMD is as much of a joy to stare at as it is to play, and PS4’s biggest sporting surprise of 2019. A wheel good time. [Issue#169, p.96]

Its new modes offer a lot, but certain elements feel marginalised. [May 2015, p.89]

The dialogue's sharp and well-acted, and the puzzles never stray into the ridiculous or contrived. It simply feels like playing the comic, and that's as strong an endorsement for a season pass as you'll hear. Roll on episode two.

It clicks in a way that few mystery games do, making you feel like you’re doing actual detective work. The biggest issue is that on a pad some of the menus feel a bit too clunky, but it’s a solid mystery you’ll be chewing over even when you’re not playing. [Issue#169, p.96]

Looking for a content-crammed explore-'em-up for your Vita? Well, dig no further. [March 2014, p.92]

Lacking its predecessors’ ideas, but a worthy twilight joyride for the Ego engine that nails the white-knuckle speed and screaming tyres like few others.

Clever and charming. [May 2018, p.89]

Its linearity is a happy tradeoff for the sharp characterisation and dialogue on offer here. [May 2015, p.93]

An unexpected gem. [May 2018, p.89]

No rest, no pity, no remorse - it demands 100% of your attention. [Oct 2011, p.99]

It's still the only game guaranteed to get everyone in the family playing, swearing, calling you a cheat and loving every dangerously competitive minute. [Feb 2010, p.115]

Although it’s a bit buggy (we had to reload a few checkpoints to progress), it’s no secret that this will be five to six hours of your time well spent. [Issue#169, p.92]

The upgrade paths and gear-gating lend genuine longevity. [May 2015, p.94]

Interesting is the word. It’s interesting to see how each level works, how each element works together in a level so ingeniously. Stealth Inc’s mechanically fascinating, and holds you in just the right level of contempt as a player to keep you bashing your head against its heavily guarded walls.

Pulsating. [Sept 2015, p.82]
