We found The Rise of the Golden Idol to be a fantastic game from start to finish. Perhaps a bit easier than the first and with an easier story to follow, but just as absorbing and fun. If you like mystery games and have enjoyed titles like Return of the Obra Dinn or Strange Horticulture (or, of course, The Case of the Golden Idol), we think you shouldn't miss this sequel, which, by the way, is available on mobile devices at no additional cost for Netflix subscribers.- Vandal

Fans of mixed martial arts will find a must-have in UFC Undisputed, a very complex and demanding game with lots of content. Newcomers will enjoy a more approachable game thanks to the new Amateur control. THQ has achieved to improve the series and again delivers and impressive chapter that it not only a good game for UFC and MMA followers, but also one of the greatest simulation and combat games around.- Vandal

It is fun to play with the environment physics, and the freedom to destroy every building in the game, but it flaws in its progression, which lacks freshness. In fact, had the script been better built, and with greater variety, this would have been an unbeatable game.- Vandal

Europa Universalis V is a monumental grand strategy evolution, thanks to its innovative, organic population simulation and immense strategic depth on a beautifully detailed map. Despite a baroque interface and steep learning curve presenting a significant barrier for newcomers, and potential late-game performance drops, it offers infinite replayability and emergent narratives, solidifying its place as Paradox's most ambitious title.- Vandal

Its new contents are not that important, but will enhance durability for solo players. Its major flaws are the downgrade in graphics and the absence of PlayStation 3 compatibility: you'll have to unlock everything again if you had done it on the PS3.
