It's better than it sounds. [May 2010, p.113]

Tactics makes the most of its medium with neat battle animations and a variety of view modes, but it’s no substitute for shouting at a friend across the table. [Issue#157, p.88]

An underwhelming Batman game, but a great Bruce Wayne one. A satisfying counterpart to Rocksteady's Arkham games, but it won't win over Telltale naysayers. [Feb 2017, p.93]

The visuals are an improvement on My Hero One’s Justice, but there’s still a lack of English dub, despite the series’ popularity. This is a game made for fans, and it’s clear Byking’s staff are fans themselves. Plus Ultra! [Issue#174, p.92]

Recommended for the popular and TV-less. [Oct 2008, p.103]

It's painstaking but satisfying. [June 2009, p.103]

Cleverly laid out levels. [Dec 2009, p.18]

The levels are an inventive joy. [Christmas 2012, p.111]

Counterspy's scrappiness makes anything beyond [a few hours of fun] rather dicey. [Nov 2014, p.90]

Arcade fans might be willing to muddle through the comms breakdown, but while enjoyable, this is nothing to phone home about. [Jan 2016, p.94]

Higbrow exploration of revenge and the afterlife it ain't, but if you want to wring the most blood, pound for pint, out of your PS3, then Ash is your lop-eared new god of gore.

A worthy partner to the PS3 version. [Jan 2009, p.98]

The original's art style divided fans, but at least in Epilogue we can all agree to being disappointed. [June 2009, p.107]

Project 8 is a breath of fresh air after Tony Hawk's Underground disappeared up its own halfpipe. [Oct 2007, p.112]

The game keeps you busy collecting crafting recipes and materials while giving you a purpose other than to simply survive. Sure, most of Smoke And Sacrifice comes down to inventory management and what are essentially fetch quests, but unlike the sandbox-y nature of other survival games, this one gives you a solid reason to keep going as you root for Sachi to uncover the secrets surrounding the fate of her missing son. [Issue#159, p.82]

Levels are served at random, so you’re not forcing yourself to do the exact same thing over and over again, but we ran into a lot of repeats. There’s something to love here, but it’s all incredibly basic, and perhaps a bit too fiddly to quite deliver with how the controls are translated to an analogue stick. [Issue#186, p.85]

Placing your shots feels random. [July 2007, p.109]

While the atmosphere, scares, and narrative are successful, the game suffers from sluggish controls and the odd confusing puzzle. [Issue#169, p.96]

Play alone, if you dare. [Jan 2016, p.115]

Buy the vastly superior "Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters" before going near this. [July 2007, p.114]

A poor, watered-down substitute that even the most devoted space junkie can afford to skip. [June 2011, p.110]

This is exactly the kind of simple but hugely playable offering that the PlayStation Store was made for. [May 2007, p.93]

A scary adventure that sacrifices as much gameplay as the cult in its story does followers. It also, unfortunately, suffers when compared to Resident Evil VII. [June 2017, p.79]

Once Season 2's open gets going it's a solid adventure story that's best enjoyed with a friend. Just don't expect to be directing too much of the action yourself. [Sept 2017, p.91]

The longer you spend in New Bordeaux, the more exasperating you'll find its stylish flourishes. Worthy topics and good kill list missions mask a so-so open world. [Dec 2016, p.67]

MXGP 2019 is certainly well-made, offers a variety of game modes, and is decently engrossing, but that finicky handling and relentless undulation makes it difficult to enjoy. [Issue@168, p.92]

There are enough touches for fans to feel the source is appreciated, but outside of seeing your favourites smash each other in the faces, it’s bare bones. [Issue#157, p.88]

A mini marvel. [Jan 2010, p.115]
