7.2 / 10.0 - Among the Sleep
Jun 2, 2013

Where it starts off on a high, the short story, lack of depth, and occasional bug all come together to make for a slightly numbing experience; it feels like there's no journey, no resolution, and a lot of unfulfilled potential.

7.8 / 10.0 - ETHER One
Mar 24, 2014

Ether One takes some of the best parts of Gone Home and To The Moon and melds them into something highly original, making it an appealing title for those wanting a unique gaming experience that's thought-provoking and emotional.

8.5 / 10.0 - Transistor
May 30, 2014

It may start off feeling pompous and arrogant, but give it enough time and you'll start to uncover a deeply sophisticated world, supported by a brilliant story, and solid, dynamic gameplay.

5.3 / 10.0 - Concursion
Jun 13, 2014

The lack of polish, along with a control scheme that feels inconsistent, makes Consursion just as irritating as it is intelligent.

6.8 / 10.0 - Tropico 5
Jun 16, 2014

The end result is a good game that is held back by the very thing strategists come to this genre for: the freedom to use your own planning and tactics to win the game.

5.2 / 10.0 - Infinity Runner

Infinity Runner manages to be mediocre in every sense of the word.

7.3 / 10.0 - Sniper Elite III
Jul 24, 2014

It's a great accomplishment for Rebellion to have made another successful Sniper Elite game, but the occasional jarring bug and a weak story hold Sniper Elite 3 back from being a truly great sniping experience.

5.8 / 10.0 - The Sims 4
Sep 15, 2014

The graphical staleness that is presented as an update, slight overhaul to building mode, and new sim creation system don't make up for the wholesale removal of content and features that are now expected to be mainstays of the series.

5.8 / 10.0 - Driveclub
Oct 19, 2014

If you want a game to show off the prowess of the PS4, then Driveclub is by all means a top tier candidate for your cash, but if you're looking for a good racing game that'll keep you hooked for hours on end then Driveclub is miles off the mark.

New items, enemies, music tracks, and stages all combine to ensure that Rebirth offers enough additional content to demand the attention of anyone that enjoyed The Binding of Isaac the first time around.

8.6 / 10.0 - Never Alone
Nov 27, 2014

It offers a perfectly executed story, underpinned by fantastic background research, and just happens to use the interactivity of gaming to push its narrative of the Iñupait community to a wider audience.

8 / 10.0 - Lumino City
Dec 7, 2014

Whilst I enjoyed exploring the gorgeously hand-crafted world, I couldn't help but feel that the gameplay just wasn't up to snuff at times and should have been better in a number of areas.

Whilst the online features leave something to be desired, and the lack of complete games is a huge misstep, Ultimate NES Remix nonetheless offers up a fantastically addictive experience.

Whilst it certainly won't be to everyone's tastes, The Old City: Leviathan is easily one of the most thoughtful games I have ever experienced.

With its unique story, impressive attention to detail, and cleverly implemented time-rewinding mechanic, Life is Strange is shaping up to be a great series.

7.2 / 10.0 - The Deer God
Feb 27, 2015

It's certainly worth playing - if only for the epic sense of journey that comes from crossing multiple procedurally environments - but the gameplay is sorely lacking.

OlliOlli 2 is an evolution of the series, rather than a revolution, and whilst it may not have as big of an impact as the original, it still introduces some excellent changes, bringing with it numerous little tweaks and improvements.

A convoluted storyline designed to pad out the game's length and some questionable level design which departs from the series' 'tough but fair' appeal makes this title weaker than its predecessor, but yet another sublime soundtrack, larger, even more brutally difficult stages, and a finely tuned gameplay experience helps to somewhat salvage things.

A rare gem that truly shows the potential for games as a medium.

If you weren't a massive fan of the first episode then this second one is unlikely to change your opinion of the series, but if you enjoyed exploring the world and characters in that first episode then Out of Time has a lot to offer.
