    A bright, invigorating spin on the arcade racer with a few foundational issues it never quite manages to overcome, Onrush's fizzy free-for-alls are best enjoyed in small doses. [Issue#151, p.91]

    It's a lot of distraction for not a lot of money. [July 2012, p.109]

    While this doesn’t push any boundaries, it’s great to curl up with for a few hours on a cold day, just like a good cup of… you know. [Issue#172, p.86]

    It does feel like this sequel is a little cut down. [Christmas 2014, p.95]

    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A well-put together action platformer with lots of charms, spiced up with colourful graphics, but one that fails to outgrow its influences in any meaningful way. Fun but predictable. [Issue#153, p.92]

    A cheerful, compulsive and enormously likeable action-RPG, it should convert a few Dynasty Warriors non-believers, though DW fans may not be quite so convinced. [Dec 2015, p.78]

    At a first glance The Hong Kong Massacre appears to be nothing more than a Hotline Miami clone. However, beneath its samey exterior the game differentiates itself with some quirky mechanics that make it a real blast to play. [Issue#160, p.89]

    A surprisingly thoughtful narrative accompanies each scenario from 1947 to present. [Sept 2012, p.102]

    There’s so much Savage Planet gets right: it’s slick, gorgeous, and dense with things to do. However, for all the exploration, much of the action feels quite samey. [Issue#172, p.89]

    Lacks harmony in track and mode selection, but is still the best party game going once you get to the singing/drinking/ritual embarrassment. [Christmas 2014, p.95]

    Repetitive, Godfall isn’t the Destiny-withswords we’d hoped for. But there’s fun to be had from its core combat, Dreamstones mode, and next-gen visual wallop. [Issue#183, p.76]

    Yes, it’s clunky at times, but get past that and you’ll find a deep, beautifully written RPG set in a massive world heaving with treasure, monsters, and moral dilemmas. [Issue#172, p.83]

    Awkward at times, the developer's ambition is obvious but the effort never quite comes to fruition. In other words, it doesn't suck but it lacks bite. [Issue#151, p.81]

    Mechanically simple and sometimes a bit repetitive, Yu and Kay’s relationship feels original and genuine, and their journey full of chill vibes. [Issue#183, p.87]

    It all becomes weirdly addictive. [Sept 2012, p.109]

    Immortals has heart and when it comes together it can soar. But those wings are waxy and the sun is hot – tinkering is needed before it properly takes flight. [Issue#183, p.60]

    A charming, if insubstantial freeform exploration game that feels refreshingly open thanks to your intuitive climbing skills. It's almost guaranteed to, ahem, grow on you. [Nov 2015, p.98]

    Below-par visuals and production obscure, but don't fully diminish, vibrant design and fresh ideas. [Nov 2015, p.99]

    Finally, a Transformers game where the characters look like plastic toys. While limited, this is no mere cash-in. [Dec 2015, p.85]

    • 70 Critic Score
    Clunky car and melee combat, an often visually stunning wasteland, and a funny sidekick make this a solid open-world, albeit one that runs out of gas mid-journey. [Nov 2015, p.103]

    It won't keep the kids quiet - quite the opposite, in fact - but it will keep them mercifully occupied for a few hours. [Mar 2008, p.108]

    Magical in conception but uneven in execution, it overcomes the slowest of starts to become one of the most imaginative platformers in ages. [Issue#183, p.88]

    A nostalgia trip for Castlevania fans, a flawed but enjoyable adventure for others. Prepare to look up a guide every now and then to find your way, though. [Issue#165, p.87]

    Robojam's sole aim is to provide wholesome good times for the under-10s. And it does just that. [July 2007, p.111]

    The team have made the most of what was clearly a small budget and the engrossing dialogue obscures the confines of this smaller project for the most part. For the uninitiated, this is a worthwhile introduction to the Masquerade, though be prepared to make full use of the in-game dictionary. The World Of Darkness is a tumultuous place, to say the least, and if you’re already familiar, then you’ll know whether Coteries Of New York’s edgy tone is right up your dark alley or worth a well lit detour instead.
