    Dark Souls III rarely innovates, but it experiments within the Souls parameters to grotesque and glorious effect. Another Game of The Year contender, then. [June 2016, p.81]

    Naughty Dog's victory lap is a celebration of its past, present and future, with clever pacing and thrilling set-pieces surpassing expectations in its most exhilarating Uncharted to date. No PS4 should be without this. [June 2016, p.74]

    A charming, uncommonly smart spiritual sibling to Contra, full of awesomely crafted homages to action cinema, but troubled on PS4 by a few bugs I'd like to nuke from Orbit. [May 2016, p.95]

    Despite the token attempts at longevity, the romance won't linger. [May 2016, p.94]

    Quietly confident and perfectly suited for Vita. [May 2016, p.94]

    Its childish veneer won't win over Call of Duty vets, but the open-minded will find a shooter that's sweet in all the right ways. [May 2016, p.94]

    Parts of the script are, sadly, not as timeless as I'd imagined in the '90s, but in all other areas this deserves its classic status. Keep the remasters coming, Double Fine. [May 2016, p.93]

    While this unlikely combination works well enough in quick bursts, you'll breeze through the quest in around six hours. [May 2016, p.92]

    While what you do is adequately diverting, it's why you do it that keeps you coming back. [May 2016, p.92]

    Sheltered's survival of the fittest foundation makes it repetitive by nature, but the ability to customise your family and choose a pet makes starting each new game charming, rather than chore-like. [May 2016, p.92]

    While the grappling side of the sport still needs to step up, it's a strong MMA game from EA and a vast improvement over the slender first effort from back in 2014. [May 2016, p.89]

    More than merely a 20 copy of Dark Souls, Salt And Sanctuary has some of the most multidimensional, exquisite gaming torture you'll ever endure. A must-buy. [May 2016, p.88]

    As remasters go, it's not a total washout - but it's not the stunning revamp it could have been. As a PS3 classic now available on PS4, however? Essential. [May 2016, p.87]

    Though technically unpolished, at at times frustrating, Kholat's imposing mountain is impressive. A good few hours of horror, hiding, swearing and reloading await. [May 2016, p.86]

    Future levels offer better value for money, but this Intro Pack is a confident first chapter containing the ultimate Hitman experience. Scrub Absolution's nightmares - the series is back to its prime. [May 2016, p.84]

    It won't win converts to the genre and the plot is problematic, but The Division is a handsome open-world offering, spiked with treachery. [May 2016, p.81]

    The main attractions are set-pieces that play heavily on the series' combat systems. [Apr 2016, p.95]

    It's hard to be cross with any game that has you rescuing space rabbits. [Apr 2016, p.94]

    The tactical depth is somewhat let down by an inconsistent technical quality. [Apr 2016, p.94]

    A cute and charming speed-runner that races straight for your heart through winning nods to childhood days and the best damn butt-slide you'll find on PS4. [Apr 2016, p.92]

    Overall, it's a deliciously addictive experience. [Apr 2016, p.92]

    Ultimately it suffers from clumsy controls and simplicity, but the ABC Murders still boasts a solid storyline (obviously), if you're not seeking a serious challenge, the cosy-crime feel makes it passable for a rainy Sunday with a mug of a hot chocolate (Belgian, of course). [Apr 2016, p.92]

    RUN/r is never disastrously bad, it just lacks ambition. [Apr 2016, p.92]

    A platform-puzzler with real heart, Unravel makes up for mechanical shortcomings with a world as palpable as it is pretty. It's no classic, but it's a memorable journey all the same. [Apr 2016, p.90]

    There are plenty of ideas here, it's just a shame it's so frustrating to get to the good bits. [Apr 2016, p.89]

    It's sure to put a big smile on your face, but doesn't entirely satisfy as a puzzler. [Apr 2016, p.89]

    While engaging modes shake things up when it all gets a bit shallow, think twice if you're looking for a fighter with depth. [Apr 2016, p.89]

    A horrifying affair that will have you flinging the pad across the room in terror, ending any hope of a restful night's sleep. In the best possible way. Job done then. [Apr 2016, p.88]
    • Playstation Official Magazine UK
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Not as experimental as it wants to be, as Far Cry recycling hampers its endearingly silly premise. Primal finds itself stuck in the past in more ways than one. [Apr 2016, p.85]
