Seasoned shifters will fall (in love) again. [March 2016, p.86]

What extras there are improve, rather than ruin, the experience. [Christmas 2007, p.112]

Weird yet wonderful, baffling yet beguiling, silly yet symbolic, this is a piece of art to make you appreciate the amazing absurdity of its creation. Safe to say, it's worth 12 quid. [June 2017, p.92]

A must-have. [Oct 2007, p.107]

A winning piece of minimalist game design that manages to do a lot with a little in an industry which far too frequently achieves the exact opposite, and it deserves much praise for that.

While the gameplay is better than ever, the overstuffed presentation makes sticking around long enough to master anything that little bit tougher. [June 2010, p.110]

"Quotation Forthcoming"

It's still worth going back to see where [Little Spiky's] come from. [March 2012, p.103]

Big, brutal, and - alas - bloated, Shadow of War is a disappointing follow-up, conjuring battles of grand scale and then deadening their impact through grinding repetition. [December 2017, p.79]

A great Yakuza spinoff that stumbles over its well-meant but clunky detective gameplay. More doing, less talking, and a sense of humour could’ve elevated it. [Issue#164, p.83]

Slick brawling, charming visual design, vibrant set-pieces and that glittering guest star mean it's still well worth crashing this kids' party. [Dec 2016, p.78]

The superior game in the series. [Feb 2018, p.91]

The most subversive and suprising new-gen shooter so far, Wolfenstein delivers heart (and a load of entrails) in a gory FPS that should stay with you for years.

An impressively huge game. [Apr 2010, p.111]

A perfectly executed peep-’emup that makes you feel in control of your investigation, and tells a twisting tale that you won’t easily forget. [Issue#176, p.81]

For a first-season effort, FIFA Football is a seriously impressive achievement.

Creating new items isn’t just the purpose of quests, it helps you get stronger so you can explore further afield. It’s a satisfying loop that makes you feel in control. Each game offers something unique, and together they’re a huge saga that’s still well worth playing, and represents Atelier at its most ambitious. [Issue#172, p.80]

The lack of bullet penetration may prove controversial, but this is one of the best PS VR experiences on offer. Essential for fans of objective-based team shooters. [Issue#154, p.96]

While far from being the Uncharted-meets-Sekiro-meets- Star-Wars we expected, and plagued by problems, Fallen Order still manages to feel like a Star Wars epic. [Issue#170, p.81]

It's a fundamental (problem): you're playing Rock Band on a PSP. [Aug 2009, p.112]

It may be built from pretty basic building blocks, but Inversus combines them into satisfying and strategic shapes. [Nov 2016, p.91]

SOMA's a fascinating interactive story that occasionally wants to murder you dead. [Dec 2015, p.86]

A cycle trip down childhood memory lane that will put a smile on your face. A terrific thesis from the ex-Media Molecule team on charming co-op fun. [Issue#167, p.86]

A twitchy camera inspires ire, but the game manages the neat trick of doffing its cap to Nintendo's N64 classics, while still maintaining its own identity, impresses with its charm and variety. [Feb 2018, p.94]

Despite coming across as that bit drier than its source material, it's a well-realised Vita motor city and easily one of the best racers on the platform.

Planet Coaster is uplifting and allows you to let your imagination run wild. It’s full of charm, wit and is the perfect escapism that fits your every need. [Issue#183, p.94]

A charming puzzler to get your grey matter sweating. [Oct 2011, p.113]

We're approaching unbroken cutscene territory. [July 2014, p.88]
