    An unsatisfying yarn, where returns diminish as rapidly as the stakes escalate. [June 2017, p.87]

    It feels like Ape Escape is a curio from times past. [Sept 2011, p.111]

    This is big, dumb fun for the first couple of hours. [Sept 2011, p.113]

    This is just like every other Dynasty Warriors game ever, but somehow duller. [May 2008, p.115]

    Fated is well-meaning but hollow. [June 2017, p.92]

    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A competent yet ultimately insignificant addition. While the core shooting still delights, the lacklustre campaign is entirely skippable. [Issue#150, p.96]

    It’s difficult to recommend… unless you’re a glutton for punishment or Satan himself. [Issue#162, p.82]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A shallow hack and slash that's fun in short bursts but outstays its welcome, even at a scant six hours. A step in the wrong direction for the series. [Feb 2016, p.91]

    There's the usual workout option and a confusing career mode, but you'd be better off just going to a decent club. [Mar 2007, p.117]

    • 44 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While this bug-infested horror doesn’t quite inspire us to grab the fly swat, we can’t recommend this in its current state. However, its few bright spots draw us like a moth to a flame. [Issue#182, p.152]

    I’m Hungry could’ve been PS VR’s answer to Overcooked. Sadly, all it offers is an empty grind and stomach-churning monotony that does not leave us hungry for more. [Issue@166, p.87]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    What you’re left with is a game that delivers a greatlooking futuristic London, and not much of anything else. It suffered a hefty delay, and the series transitioned from Ubisoft Montreal to Ubisoft Toronto. Something has been lost here, and we can’t help but feel that the commitment to making any character playable is the core issue. That’s been made possible, but just because Ubisoft could, that didn’t mean the developer should have. [Issue#182, p.147]

    Daft boss battles and duel modes in cramped, pace-sapping spaces mean only real Sega fan boys will stick with this for long. [Feb 2008, p.98]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 42 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The already absurdly wooden voice acting is sometimes marred with bugs. [Aug 2013, p.94]
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The game could learn from its pint-sized protagonist. [Dec 2015, p.91]

    • 75 Metascore

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

    It's so weighted down by uninspired foundations. [Aug 2007, p.114]

    Ugly and limited. [May 2011, p.103]

    Best left on the bargain bin's seabed. [Aug 2012, p.113]

    On paper the game has it all; in reality, Necromunda is clunky, plagued by bugs, including hard crashes and desynced audio, and an old-fashioned approach to the genre. [Issue#181, p.94]

    Naughty Bear certainly isn't a sweatshop import with lead shot for eyes and asbestos filling, but it's no Steiff original either. [Aug 2010, p.116]

    A superb VR idea mercilessly crushed under the jackboot of mediocrity. Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot has neither the standout quality to be good, nor the memorable identity to be bad. [Issue#166, p.82]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    You’re never up against more than one opponent, though (if you have an opponent at all), meaning you’ll usually have an empty road ahead of you whether you’re ahead or behind, which can kill the sense of competition. This burning rubber cries out tobe a group activity, if you catch our– ahem – drift. Perhaps online play would transform the experience into a thrill, but we’d need to actually find somebody playing to check. As it stands, it’s stuck in first gear. [Issue#181, p.94]

    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A PS VR game with all the bells and whistles of a full-fat racer, but at no point did I feel the need to shake or blow on what it has to offer. [Dec 2017, p.87]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Muddy textures, horrendous voice acting and repetitive gameplay plague an otherwise functional hack 'n' slasher. [Issue#51, p.103]

    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Sure, it's no damp squib, but it's certainly not the firework display it should have been. [May 2011, p.110]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 66 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The turn-based combat is swift and (overly) simple. [Aug 2012, p.117]

    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    90% of the game consists of twatting robots all the livelong day, and it takes just half an hour for these parts to grow dull. Perhaps naively, we expected a bit more from the motherland's best selling PS3 game. [JPN Import; June 2007, p.112]

    At its best, Raiders offers frantic co-op shooting against waves of enemies. But boring missions and repetitive objectives mean it's ultimately mediocre. [Dec 2017, p.94]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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]
