Traditional FPS gameplay is given a new spin with PS VR as the frighteningly fast, wide-eyed fun of flying in 360 degrees is matched by tight controls and a welcome lack of motion sickness. [June 2017, p.88]

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

PaRappa will always have a place in my heart, but if the original game was Snoop Dogg, this disappointing upscale is Lil' Bow Wow. [June 2017, p.87]

This bittersweet narrative adventure will play your heartstrings like a fiddle. [June 2017, p.87]

It seems to have all the right ingredients on the outside looking in. That's before you start trying to unravel its awkward puzzles via its tedious time mechanics. [June 2017, p.86]

Of all the many Lego games, this is the most distinct and enjoyable. [June 2017, p.84]

Draws intelligently from numerous influences, yet fails to craft an identity of its own. A snack-sized RPG that's a serviceable side-quest to tackle between epics. [June 2017, p.83]

A fiddly one to get to grips with, stick with Snake Pass and everything will eventually click. When it does, it's a decent platformer that should raise a smile or two. [June 2017, p.82]

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]

Forgive its clumsier moments. Play it for its brill soundtrack, loveable-unlovable cast and charmingly rendered brand of nihilism. Then, for god's sake, call your parents. [May 2017, p.97]

A game as flawed as its protagonist. [May 2017, p.96]

A longer development period might have made this into something more playable, but it would still be a game of rehashed concepts notable only for its sheer banality. [May 2017, p.96]

2Dark will not make you feel annoyed, it will make you feel sad, and that's definitely worse. [May 2017, p.96]

It feels like a game that's been buried in a time capsule, releasing just after open-world game design has moved on. Solo play is pointless, and fun with friends is fleeting. [May 2017, p.94]

A creative stealth game that improves on its predecessor, though remains a little rough around the edges. Styx remains a deeply unpleasant character. [May 2017, p.93]

Not buying this would be the ultimate lucky escape. [May 2017, p.92]

Delightful, demanding and inspired. [May 2017, p.92]

Look past the scruffy visuals, because Flatout 4's penchant for vehicular violence means it passes its madcap MDT. [May 2017, p.92]

It's a shame all of its potential is squandered with dull gameplay and horrible bugs. [May 2017, p.90]

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]

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]

Sometimes infuriating, occasionally wonderful, VR Ping Pong has a sweet spot where it plays beautifully, but it's hard to find. A brave but flawed experiment. [Apr 2017, p.97]

The great thing about Semispheres is its difficulty curve. [Apr 2017, p.95]

Its chunky art style gives the whole thing a heart-warmingly retro look. [Apr 2017, p.95]

There are obscene levels of charm here. [Apr 2017, p.95]
