The rose-tinted refresher combined with clever new features make Divinity II an RPG that's hard to put down. [Issue#29, p.50]

An intriguing concept. [Issue#13, p.66]

NecroVisioN falls short of its own self-imposed mark, to rekindle the old-school shooter experience, but that was a particularly high bar to reach. So if you fancy a simple run-and-gun experience with a few twists, you’ll get your money’s worth.

A space sim that fans will enjoy and new players could love. [Issue#13, p.63]

Its disparate gameplay needed to blend together a bit smoother. [Issue#29, p.48]

Fun, forgettable and well worth the impulse buy. [Issue#14, p.62]

Tighter translation and a map editor is needed, but it's still a great TBS. [Issue#15, p.64]

Beautifully written and visualised. Adventure fans will be seduced. [Issue#9, p.59]

It's not just for fans of the analogue edition either. [Issue#23, p.52]

A fun experience marred slightly by the fact that it feels too easy, but those looking for fast arcade laughs will enjoy it.

Violence is of an unsightly and masochistic flavour and nothing here is a patch on the king of the genre.

Telltale has created a decent adventure full of slapstick and melodrama.

Not in the slightest bit innovative, but a great hack-and-slash nonetheless. [Issue#12, p.64]

Charming, gorgeous and fun - though too stale for strategy hardcores. [Issue#23, p.59]

Further patching could make it one of the most immersive shooters of the last decade…but not as is. [Issue#22, p.47]

A solid shooter, with firm old-school roots. [Issue#10, p.64]

Many hands make fun work: shallow single-player is compensated for by some great multiplayer content.

Makes light of politics in an entertaining way, but falls short on depth of strategy. [Issue#14, p.61]

A decent online FPS - provided you can find a player slot, that is. [Issue#23, p.57]

Tactical and highly entertaining but seriously lacking polish.

Fast-paced and handsomely presented with no two online sessions alike. The only hurdle is getting there. [Issue#20, p.50]

A fun objective-focused shooter with a good premise and ideas, but less satisfying core combat. [Issue#25, p.46]

A fun sandbox game in small doses, but it's ultimately far too limited to keep you hooked long term. [Issue#22, p.54]

It's not by any means an awful first-person shooter, just a Wolfenstein on the series' reputation. [Issue#25, p.43]

Diesel-powered, but it’s lacking the turbo injection that we want.

Surprisingly solid old-fashioned skill-based fun, limited by linear level design. [Issue#24, p.57]

Great environmental puzzles and a chilling soundtrack are sadly let down by a poor port with dodgy controls. [Issue#9, p.46]

Die-hard RPG fans will appreciate the backstory, but no-one else will pay attention.

It's great to have Sam back, but it hasn't whet our appetite for Serious Sam 3. [Issue#28, p.57]

A great accompaniment to the Penny Arcade canon, but ultimately feels a little thin on its own in the RPG field. [Issue#9, p.54]

A sweeping but imperfect RTS. One for casual gamers only. [Issue#26, p.47]

A competent, entertaining single-player experience true to the franchise but marred by the shoddy port to PC. [Issue#26, p.48]

Field of Glory struggles to match most strategy games from this Century. [Issue#30, p.52]

A good horror/puzzle game that's unfortunately got itself confused with "Portal." [Issue#13, p.64]

Only casual types will enjoy up to its conclusion. [Issue#28, p.54]

A charming, if not particularly exciting finale to a great little series. [Issue#24, p.56]

It's fun but too fiddly, and lacks the charm of the superior original. [Issue#29, p.53]

A brave but ultimately flawed game that only delivers on all that was promised in very short bursts. [Issue#16, p.58]

Entertaining in short doses, but severely lacking in variation. [Issue#14, p.56]

An enjoyable trading and strategy experience, let down by lacklustre combat. [Issue#23, p.56]

Fundamentally fun, but just far too broken to win TPCG kudos. [Issue#12, p.58]

It's infrequently fun but brainless run-and-gun. [Issue#31, p.46]

As casual as a Saturday night dancefloor encounter. [Issue#23, p.49]

It has potential, but its value is only going to improve inversely with the price. [Issue#23, p.59]

Close to a new Elder Scrolls, but nowhere near as realised. [Issue#25, p.51]

There's a lot of superior competition around, but there's plenty on offer here. [Issue#13, p.64]

Good fun until the novelty wears off. Which doesn't take that long, sadly. [Issue#30, p.56]

Too hardcore for casual gamers, but strategists should add two to the score. [Issue#9, p.56]

Good for your Friday night pizza and beer social or as a budget-buy afterthought. [Issue#14, p.62]

Surely space combat has come further than this in the last decade? [Issue#13, p.58]

A deep, detailed strategy title occasionally mired in its own complexities. [Issue#24, p.56]

An under-egged effort even more compromised by a token PC port. [Issue#17, p.69]

Some original concepts let down by terrible repetition in look, feel and execution.

Mediocre management and terrible racing means it's average at best. [Issue#10, p.58]

It's a competent game, but it lacks the va-va-voom to recommend it. [Issue#23, p.56]

An interesting story, but the overall package isn't engaging enough. [Issue#20, p.56]

Gets the basics right, but no more. It won’t keep you amused for long.

A great idea with some impressive physics, but soon becomes a chore.

To anyone less than a die-hard, PC-playing Shaun White fan: wait for budget. [Issue#16, p.64]

Clunky and uninspired. [Issue#29, p.55]

Raven Squad is a wasted idea that suffers from poor execution. [Issue#25, p.52]

No multiplayer, brief campaigns, same old factions and anemic AI.

FUEL is a big world of promise, but sadly it can't deliver most of them. [Issue#23, p.54]

Damnation's good ideas are unfortunately never matched by its rough, unfinished and unsatisfying execution. [Issue#21, p.56]

A great concept gone to tragic waste through non-existent AI. [Issue#29, p.54]

An interesting idea that doesn't work quite as well as we'd like. [Issue#23, p.63]

Velvet Assassin showed a lot of promise, but a wasted premise and flawed stealth mechanics let it down.

In which parallel universe does a stinking top-down shooter become the right choice? [Issue#28, p.56]

It's too short and too undeveloped. [Issue#22, p.56]

Gobliiins 4 has a lot of character, it just doesn’t have enough depth.

Clearly there's still a market for this stuff - we're guessing in Japan? [Issue#19, p.58]

It's a re-invented fifth wheel on a car driving the wrong way up a one-way street. [Issue#20, p.55]

A haven for low-resolution textures, a lack of modern graphical technology, frequent clipping issues and camera angles that pan into walls and obstruct your view. [Issue#10, p.56]

Unfulfilling micromanagement makes FIFA Manager a poor match for the competition. [Issue#16, p.67]

Monotonous and slightly broken; a herculean task just to complete. [Issue#16, p.65]

A weak sandbox affair. [Issue#20, p.55]
