A decent, if unremarkable, cover shooter, elevated by artful scene-setting and memorable set-pieces.

Stylish, beautiful, and uncompromising, Hyper Light Drifter is as rewarding as it is frustrating.

Beautiful pixel art and tight controls make Chasm a fine, if reserved, modern take on the Metroidvania.

An incredible trip through a stunning post-apocalyptic world, let down by some uninspiring FPS combat.

A cinematic, high-octane, but short-lived adventure, lovingly remastered for a new generation.

A gorgeous world eager to be explored with satisfying puzzles and fun, if occasionally clumsy, action.

Imaginative, beautiful, and utterly strange, but you'll need to really love the story to endure its idiosyncratic combat.

It looks incredible and controls beautifully, but Inside’s best ideas are spread too thin.

May 28, 2015

An elegant, pared-down stealth game with echoes of the original Deus Ex, driven by a compelling story of paranoia and betrayal.

A fun, imaginative platformer that’s full of ideas, but prepare to die, a lot.

A tense, tactical medieval brawler that will reward anyone with the patience and will to master it.

The nemesis system shines in this unwieldy, bloated, and occasionally magnificent fantasy epic.

Brilliantly captures the look and feel of classic Star Wars, but beneath its cinematic flair lies a pretty generic multiplayer shooter.

A slick cinematic thriller, but interaction is limited and the story loses focus in the final act.

A fun, charming, and occasionally brilliant Yakuza game, let down by an overabundance of repetitive turn-based battles.
