There's no excuse for chess fans not to, ahem, 'check' it out. [Oct 2011, p.103]

Without any upgrade path and thus little reason to invest in a character, your fun with Zombie Army Trilogy will ultimately be short-lived. [May 2015, p.94]

Despite the frantic nature of the game suggesting pushing you forward is its main motivation, some sections do have a death mechanic that sets you back to a checkpoint. It’s a fun ride full of spectacle, but messy to the point where you can struggle to connect, never really committing to pursuing either experience or gameplay. [Issue@168, p86]

The story fails to make an impact, and dialogue often feels like a set of one-liners rather than people having a conversation. However, what Indivisible lacks in plot, it makes up for in interesting mythology and beautiful 2D designs. [Issue#169, p.84]

An entertaining little diversion. [Christmas 2012, p.111]

Not as confident as Telltale's selection of flagship franchises so far, but the ethos of the show is there in terms of tense confrontations and oh-so-tricky power games. [Feb 2015, p.90]

By turns infectious and infuriating, this is a glorious throwback for the most part, but its inconsistencies hold it back from greatness. Likeable, but flawed. [May 2017, p.77]

Be afraid, be very afraid (and a little infuriated, too). [May 2015, p.94]

If you're into a bit of hardcore Spanking, you'll love this. [Oct 2011, p.104]

Combat, while smooth, does get repetitive at times. [Oct 2012, p.111]

A solid bedrock for PS4 iterations, if lacking long-term appeal. [Sept 2015, p.87]

It is a great story. [Oct 2012, p.113]

Fails to offer enough content that's new. [Feb 2015, p.92]

While it's underwhelming in places, there's a lot to like as you venture into the weirder parts of Andromeda. Frequent technical issues hamper the experience somewhat, as does an uninspiring main story. [May 2017, p.82]

A surprisingly satisfying cartoon RPS that scratches that itch to war a binliner as a cowl very nicely. [Apr 2012, p.105]

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

The puzzle/power combo is sure to attract your attention. [Feb 2015, p.95]

A visually stunning and often satisfying game, but one with more than its fair share of irritating moments. Put up with its nonsense and you'll be rewarded. [May 2017, p.89]

Despite the positives, there's no escaping the fiddly controls and flyaway firearms. [Oct 2011, p.111]

The incredible visuals don’t (quite) make up for the unbalanced racing, and the kinetic feel, pit radio, career mode, and damage modelling are all inferior to the 2008 original. [Issue#169, p.86]

It's the best kind of 7/10. The gunplay is raucous, but never revolutionary. The relationships make you laugh, if not cry. Binary Domain is unpolished in all the right places – the rough edges make it a unique metal snowflake in a production line of identical, shiny shooters. Fill that Mass Effect gap with a game that loves you.

A solid remake of a cult game from a bygone era, MediEvil’s flaws lay in its past. The eight hours you’ll spend in Sir Dan’s metal boots will, however, have you smiling until the credits roll. [Issue#169, p.82]

Not at all flashy, but genuinely absorbing. [June 2007, p.101]

Although endlessly exuberant, and often truly original, the sequel fails to fix the first game's issues while introducing new stumbling blocks. Hardly smooth shifting. [March 2017, p.87]

Jak can still turn heads. [Apr 2012, p.112]

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

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

A fine twin-stick shooter that's just a few minor tweaks away from something really special - though score-chasers up for a stern challenge may well adore its charms. [Feb 2015, p.95]
