Certain standout moments play unlike any other game. Your first play-through may frustrate but the emotional aftermath hammers home the depth of the achievement. It's the nightmare cousin of Journey. [Oct 2016, p.78]

Postcard-worthy space tourism, best dipped in and out of in short spells to avoid mechanical frustrations. It's an otherworldly achievement of an insane scale, with tons of genuinely special moments to offer - but also an acquired taste. [Oct 2016, p.72]

It's ambitious, but there's no real spark of life. [Sept 2016, p.111]

An ill-conceived mess that goes down as the worst PlayStation game to besmirch the Resident Evil name. [Sept 2016, p.110]

A first-person experience that nails the experience part, but - despite flashes of brilliance - reminds you all too often that an astronaut's job can be...well, a bit dull. [Sept 2016, p.109]

It perfectly combines the classic's simple appeal with a quicker pace and slick new moves, making it more addictive than ever. [Sept 2016, p.108]

A package that makes the simple act of stacking utterly cracking. [Sept 2016, p.108]

This may not be the worst Kick Off game ever, but even blind nostalgia can't redeem its many faults. [Sept 2016, p.108]

Traditional to a fault, 505 hits every target on the JRPG dartboard...except the bullseye. [Sept 2016, p.107]

Trials of the Not-Very-Good Dragon, more like. A collection of mismatched parts, haphazardly assembled, this has to be one of 2016's biggest disappointments so far. [Sept 2016, p.106]

A fantastically outrageous conclusion to a remarkable story, albeit one that doesn't quote recapture the highs of Virtue's Last Reward. Don't even contemplate playing until you've finished VLR. [Sept 2016, p.104]

It's an enormous game, but a bit of a shambles. [Sept 2016, p.103]

Basic but beautifully crafted JRPG in the vein of the pre-PS2 Final Fantasy games. If you reminisce fondly about the genre's Golden Era, this is essential. [Sept 2016, p.102]

A super likeable (if padded) take on Episode VII...mixes belly laughs, block-smashing silliness and ace aerial combat. [Sept 2016, p.99]

Dangerous Golf is so desperate for you to have a good time that it keeps heaping new elements onto the premise. A robust "less" would have offered so much "more". [Aug 2016, p.95]

Largely decent, if derivative, but glinting away in the torchlight are constant hints of what might have been. [Aug 2016, p.94]

One afterlife that's plain hard to enjoy. [Aug 2016, p.94]

A trip down memory lane that's more of a stumble. [Aug 2016, p.94]

A festering corpse given an unnecessary kiss of life. [Aug 2016, p.93]

Frogwares doubles down on the interactive mystery format of the last game with a more lavish outing featuring newly charming leads. The story's tremendously entertaining. [Aug 2016, p.82]

Weirdly passionless, with rough edges at all corners that leave you wondering where all that money went. Current sequel talk is bonkers. [Aug 2016, p.90]

Almost every idea included here is a strong one - yet they've all been exectured terribly. A patch to slow the entire game down by 50% would immediately elevate that score. [Aug 2016, p.89]

Easily confused AI and faltering tech, however, mean it largely struggles to find its voice. [Aug 2016, p.88]

One of this year's best indie offerings so far. [Aug 2016, p.88]

One of the best high-score chasing concepts ever hosted on Playstation. [Aug 2016, p.88]

Underneath the cute exterior lies a tough-as-nails sim exposing the realities of prison life. If you can see past a few offences, lock your door and lose the key. [Aug 2016, p.86]

A perfectly serviceable level concept and map with a few neat ideas, but its balance is off and replay value is much lower than that of the other episodes in the series. [Aug 2016, p.84]

Blizzard's addictive and tactical team-based shooter is essential - the character-switching mechanic sweetens the genre. Group up with friends to avoid clueless carnage and enjoy the true game. [Aug 2016, p.82]
