Reviews[]
Game Title | Format | Reviewer | Pages | Pg No(s) | Rating (%) | Summary |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mirror's Edge Catalyst | PC | Ben Griffin | 4 | 66-69 | 68 | A grander production, but the gorgeous open world does Catalyst's freerunning no favours. |
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan | PC | Matt Elliott | 2 | 70-71 | 58 | A scrappy, unfulfilling brawler that's nevertheless quite difficult to dislike despite itself. |
Kirby: Planet Robobot | 3DS | Kate Gray | 1 | 72 | 75 | Planet Robobot is one of the better Kirby games, but it's just too similar to Triple Deluxe to stand out. |
Mighty No. 9 | PlayStation 4 | Kate Gray | 1 | 73 | 58 | Almost succeeds as a Mega Man tribute, but it't let down by its looks, bugs, and often dull action. |
Monster Hunter Generations | 3DS | Chris Schilling | 2 | 74-75 | 89 | A small step forward for the series, but still one of the 3DS's most versatile and generous games. |
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE | Wii U | Matt Sakuraoka-Gilman | 1 | 76 | 80 | A bit like X-Factor: The Games, but it's as close to Persona as Wii U fans are likely to get. |
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter | PlayStation 4 | James Nouch | 1 | 77 | 66 | A mixed bag of brilliant deduction and tedious puzzling. A disappointing misstep for the series. |
The Technomancer | PlayStation 4 | Keith Andrew | 1 | 78 | 65 | Inoffensive and enjoyable enough for action-RPG fans, but it does far too little to distinguish itself. |
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir | PlayStation 4 | Matt Sakuraoka-Gilman | 1 | 79 | 82 | Slick, smooth, and beautiful, it shines like never before on current-gen. |
Grand Kingdom | PlayStation 4 | Matt Sakuraoka-Gilman | 1 | 80 | 80 | A solid and beautiful tactical RPG with neat 2D brawling and unique multiplayer. |
The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine | PC | Robin Valentine | 1 | 81 | 85 | A vast, joyful playground, and a wonderful excuse to return to The Witcher 3 one list time. |
Dangerous Golf | PlayStation 4 | Louise Blain | 1 | 82 | 55 | N/A |
One Piece: Burning Blood | PlayStation 4 | Matt Sakuraoka-Gilman | 1/2 | 83 | 56 | N/A |
The Solus Project | PC | Matt Sakuraoka-Gilman | 1/2 | 83 | 80 | N/A |
