While FIFA 21 is as good a showcase for the potential of the DualSense as we’ve seen so far, the underlying issues with this entry remain. [Issue#184, p.88]

Sadly, though, there's an irritating delay when dealing attacks, and when you're trying to compensate for that in a retina-melting arena environment while three tiny blurs of furious colour attack you in unison, it's all too easy to lose track of who or where you are, let alone whether you nailed the previous three button-presses of your desired combo.

The puzzles are plentiful and challenging, but the dull looks and worthy brain-training angle make this a dull slog. [Oct 2007, p.113]

If you like this style of dungeon exploration, then this is a fantastically made one you can play co-op that's essentially endless, and what's not to love about that? [June 2018, p.85]

Its simplistic design means TESO feels like little more than an Elder Scrolls-themed amusement park. [Aug 2015, p.88]

This is more enjoyable than it really ought to be, and a great way to convert Move doubters. [Issue#51, p.111]

Old-school puzzle game with a weird galactic theme. [Sept 2009, p.107]

A stripped-down sneak-fest. [Sept 2015, p.88]

Shots are harder to keep down than a helium-filled kangaroo. [Christmas 2010]

Gameplay becomes a familiar grind all too quickly. [Christmas 2017, p.83]

A (literally) gut-busting dive into made genius. [Feb 2018, p.91]

Though the chat is scintillating, however, it feels cut short. [Issue#158, p.90]

As mixed in quality as you’d expect of an arcade collection spanning the ’80s , it’s the rare gems and added extras that make this a treat. [Issue#160, p.97]

Elsweyr is something of a drab comedown from Summerset’s embarrassment of floral riches, but there are compelling quests, and you can’t dislike anything with dragons. [Issue#164, p.93]

An excellent and unique strategy game. [July 2010, p.107]

Extreme Justice works though, because it delivers simple, primitive thrills with absolute clarity. [Dec 2007, p.103]

There's a clunkiness even Holmes can't solve. [Dec 2014, p.87]

It's all over pretty quickly. [Oct 2009, p.110]

Most importantly, of all the launch shooters on PS4, this is the only one to try and do something different and vary its formula. Something it also does with visibly new tech rather than shored up current-gen code. It’s a combination that makes Killzone Shadow Fall a great experience and strong start to PS4.

Go for last year's Overkill for your undead shooting needs. [July 2012, p.115]

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

A fun if throwaway addition to the Resi 5 experience. [Apr 2010, p.116]

While it's a lively and enjoyable adventure, it does take a while to reach its stride in terms of actual challenge. The latter half, however, certainly makes Toromi a worthy contender for your next holiday destination. [Issue#151, p.84]

What it might lack in terms of raw driving appeal, LBP Karting compensates for with a charmingly unhinged single-player, chaotic multiplayer and all the customisable bells and whistles you could ask for.

With deeper options, this would have been an essential. [Oct 2007, p.100]

Ripe with potential but riddled with problems, the new Battlefield will be brilliant six months from now. Right now, however, it’s merely a good shooter. [Issue#157, p.83]

A game that is often fiddly. As well as action points, there are fire points – some actions require a mix of both – and an awareness bar, which can be spent on special abilities or held onto, because it acts as a secondary health bar. All of that’s a lot to keep track of, and with a squint-inducing UI, you often end up feeling less like James Bond and more like the poor MI6 bod who has to do his paperwork. [Issue#153, p.86]
