    When you and Patapon 2 are on the same page of its rhythmic song book, this is a treat of a dance party. You won’t be able to resist getting down to this sick beat. [Issue#173, p.89]

    It's lean, with few repeated ideas, and boasts one of the best save rooms you'll ever experience. [Christmas 2014, p.88]

    A beautiful restoration of a classic setting, but clumsy combat and a more constrained style make us with even harder for a mainline return to Vvardenfell. [Aug 2017, p.90]

    One of the most esoteric, charming and satisfying adventures on PS3 so far. [Nov 2007, p.90]

    Solid shooting and a handful of suicide-inducing party tricks can only get you so far, and it's this absence of atmosphere and lack of connection to your surroundings that holds Syndicate back from becoming a fulfilling experience.

    Too little bang for your buck. [Feb 2009, p.103]

    It’s hard not to be won over by a game all about bringing out the best in places and people through creativity. Concrete Genie impresses with flying colours. [Issue#168, p.73]

    Places the emphasis back on racing over contrived storylines - and leaves its peers eating its dust in the process. [Aug 2014, p.88]

    Excellent fighting, but not great at anything beyond the core hack, slash, and gas-powered aerial maneuvering. [May 2018, p.76]

    Why would anyone make a game with not one but two sets of crippled controls? [Aug 2008, p.102]

    It's mostly rubbish; the focus is on combat, and the combat's tied to a camera that flops around like, well, a brain in a jar. [Dec 2007, p.114]

    Reinventing the multiplayer sports game as a squirmily tactile wrestling bout between humanoid worms, Push Me Pull You is bizarre, baffling and kind of brilliant. [July 2016, p.83]

    The technical improvements are so minor, especially on the base PS4, you honestly might as well just play the PS3 version from ten years ago. Both are lots of fun. [Issue#182, p.138]

    Luckily, the standard of presentation on Stories is as high as it's ever been, from the first rate acting right down to the epoch-defining soundtrack. Try <I>not</I> grinning idiotically as you attempt to time a unique jump in a powder-blue convertible to the chorus of "Easy Lover."[Apr 2007, p.94]

    Sub-par writing holds it back from greatness, but My Time At Portia is still a slice of life well worth tasting. And remember, you can start fights with strangers. [Issue#162, p.83]

    While its intriguing concept is slightly let down by simple puzzles and empty maps, Carto still offers a weekend’s worth of cosy fun for players of all ages. [Issue#182, p.154]

    While nobody could accuse this £11.99 PSN offering of being smart or original, like a fancy-dress night out in an animal onesie it still provides plenty of act-first-think-later thrills.

    Special moves are simply executed but look feeble, so you never get the sense that you're shellacking the snot out of your opponent. [Aug 2007, p.114]

    Although Scrooge’s pogo-stick jump is a tad unresponsive, this is a handsome, crisp platformer that occasionally makes me happier than a duck doing backstroke in a giant bin full of bullion. Well, in-between doing all the swears.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Some aspects, like the tanky controls, definitely feel tired these days. But there’s still an undeniable charm to this low-key adventure that focuses on investigation rather than too many fights. There’s still nothing else quite like it, and this package makes it easier than ever to miss out no longer. [Issue#154, p.90]
