    F1 2015 absolutely nails the driving experience, with perfect controls and incredible physics. But the options are so limited, you're likely to get bored fast. Roll on 2016. [Issue#127, p.81]

    It's fun, free and a great way to make it through the summer drought. [Issue#127, p.76]

    It may not be quite the epic finale everyone hoped for, but Arkham Knight is still an excellent action game that retains many of the elements that make the series great.

    Perhaps we’re a little biased (we bloody love Jurassic Park), but we had great fun with the latest LEGO title. Only a few minor issues keep it from the top of the food chain.

    • 40 Critic Score
    A perfectly functional motorbike game that might appeal to cast-iron fans, Ride is otherwise a dull, dry, missed opportunity, which totally fails to capture the joy of two wheels. [Issue#125, p.86]

    • 40 Critic Score
    Despite some good ideas, cheery visuals and easy-to-understand mechanics, Happy Wars disappoints. [Issue#125, p.85]

    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Not a game to be played for hours on end, Tower of Guns is still a fun and rewarding shooter, albeit one that takes a little time to really appreciate. [Issue#125, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A return to a level of platforming excellence that's been long forgotten. [Issue#125, p.82]

    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Lacks its predecessor's smarts and class. [Issue#125, p.81]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A humorless and business-like simulation that nevertheless manages to thrill on its own terms. There hasn't been a game like this on a console for a long time. Confidently recommended. [Issue#125, p.78]

    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Not quite the technical masterpiece we hoped for, but the mild disappointment soon melts away. The Witcher 3 is a huge, engrossing time-sink of a game that you'll happily spend dozens of hours on. [Issue#125, p.74]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    New modes and better motion controls make it an improvement over its predecessor; just don't count on it holding your attention. [Issue#124, p.88]

    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A brilliantly designed puzzle platformer with a wonderful protagonist that sets varied gameplay scenarios within a compelling world. [Issue#124, p.87]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fun and endlessly moreish. [Issue#124, p.86]

    It's a joke that remains consistently funny, while still surprising in places. [Issue#124, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A valiant effort, but one that is ultimately let down by a series of technical glitches and a depressingly mute community. It is free to play, though. [Issue#124, p.83]

    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Add another [10 Points] to the score if you've never played the two games. [Issue#124, p.80]

    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's still one of the best RPGs out there at the moment, but the NPC invasions and enemy placement felt a little unbalanced this time around. [Issue#124, p.79]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Fantastically violent and built for online players and loners alike. [Issue#124, p.72]

    • 62 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's fun for a couple of hours, but the novelty wears off. [Issue#123, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 48 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Menus, options and over-designed mechanics prevent you from ever getting into it. [Issue#123, p.83]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 49 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A choppy, piecemeal shooter. [Issue#123, p.82]

    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An even better version of an already great game. [Issue#123, p.81]

    • 61 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Plodding. [Issue#123, p.78]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A blend of Resident Evil old and new, Revelations 2 does itself, and the franchise, justice falling a little short simply due to a couple of poor episodes. [Issue#123, p.77]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A valiant attempt at doing something different with a revered franchise, but one that doesn't fulfill all of its goals or early promise. One for FF fans only. [Issue#123, p.74]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A beautifully presented, wonderfully designed game that spins an emotional yard and will challenge every gamer instinct in your body. An essential exclusive. [Issue#123, p.70]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Eight games in as many years, and Ubisoft has finally perfected the art of making a highly skilled and super badass assassin feel totally, entirely boring.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There are some inventive puzzles, but don't expect anything revolutionary. [Issue#122, p.84]
    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 51 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Wonky motion controls, repetitive gameplay, poor visuals and misguided humour combine in Blue Estate for a short, sour dose of shooter action. [Issue#122, p.83]
