Metro GameCentral's Reviews

A slight improvement on the first episode, but still basically just plot set-up for a story that too often feels out of your hands.

Still the same lacklustre combination of Left 4 Dead with a twin-stick shooter, where only the status of PlayStation Plus freebie prevents further criticism.

Still one of the best action games ever made and although this is technically the best-looking version it still doesn't really feel like the definitive one.

5 / 10 - Thief
Feb 23, 2014

Series fans may view it as a disaster but the problem is that Thief isn't even interesting enough to get angry about, despite the well hewn stealth gameplay.

9 / 10 - Ikaruga

Treasure’s cult 2D shooter remains as uniquely entertaining as always, and surprisingly well adapted for a modern PC.

7 / 10 - Strider
Feb 17, 2014

The mixture of old school, new school, and Metroidvania works surprisingly well – even if Strider's long-awaited reboot still feels slightly too safe.

It goes completely against the spirit of the movie but at least the game is able to celebrate the creativity of its developers, if not its players.

A highly competent 2D platformer, but one utterly devoid of any new ideas or any reason to buy a Wii U in order to play it.

Not quite Scary Movie but certainly not the video game equivalent of Airplane, although the fact that it even tries to be is almost recommendation enough.

7 / 10 - Outlast
Feb 4, 2014

Repetition and overfamiliarity are always the best ways to nullify fear, but until they set in this is one of the most effectively scary video games ever made.

That the controls are frustrating and imprecise is kind of the point, but what's less forgiveable is how poorly Octodad seems to understand its own premise.

Not one of the best map packs Call Of Duty has ever seen, and yet for some reason one of the most expensive. Being Michael Myers is fun though.

A great cinematic action adventure, with one of gaming's great lead performances, although its Tomb Raider DNA seems fragmented and even degenerative in parts.

Authentically retro but then many games are these days and Legacy's dungeon-crawling action is not nearly as entertaining as the best of its rivals.

Clever, funny, and thought-provoking, but even without the weight of expectations this is a surprisingly insubstantial and ephemeral experience.

Extremely short, extremely dull, and extremely expensive for what it is. Dead Rising 3 may not be the greatest launch game ever but it deserves better than this.

7 / 10 - CONSORTIUM
Jan 20, 2014

Much more than just a homage, Consortium might be rough around the edges but the dialogue system and freedom of choice rivals that of any other game.

A superb multiplayer game with some of the best virtual sword-fighting ever seen, giving you the best reason to crowd round a PC since a kitten did something cute on YouTube.

A competent and unexciting update to a competent and unexciting puzzler, which is not nearly praise enough to forgive the optimistically high price.

Exactly as entertaining as you'd expect from a collaboration between two of Japan's most talented developers, and a relatively good – if extremely belated – PC port.
