“A sprawling, ridiculous, and endlessly surprising roguelike that will drag you body and soul into its chaotic world.”

“Charm and a solid formula go a long way to smoothing over this roguelike deckbuilder's ungroomed edges.”

“Perhaps the beat-'em-up genre's best ever roster of playable characters, let down by an inconsistent campaign that's wears out too fast.”

“A roller coaster ride of ball-bouncing action that loves to break its own rules.”

“The combo of roguelikes and gambling should probably be more addictive than this.”

“Instead of finally growing bored of its formula, I find myself just imagining yet more things developer Funday Games could add in new updates to come. This release makes the game feel complete and ready for a broader audience, after over a year of public development. But at the same time, it feels like it could be only the beginning.”

“Toothless writing, old-fashioned open world design, and ropey port work undermine what should be a thrilling cinematic adventure.”

“Personality, creativity, and co-op multiplayer elevate this Hades-like beyond its rough edges.”

“This wonderfully clever strategy roguelike demands your best, and it deserves to get it.”

“Fans of Warhammer 40,000 will be delighted by the spectacle and authenticity-but ultimately disappointed by messy action and unengaging multiplayer.”

“Sharp and compelling strategy that expands on the first game with a clever new progression system, but at over twice the length it's in danger of outstaying its welcome.”

“An awkward story doesn't hold Capes back from being one of the best turn-based strategy games of recent years.”

“Despite its greater scale and visual splendour, this sequel fails to escape the shadow of its predecessor with a muddled tale that Senua herself feels out of place in.”

“Relaxing and brisk, but lacking in the substance needed to please genre fans and live up to the SteamWorld name.”

“Remedy's boldest experiment yet is a beautiful storm of surreal storytelling and genuinely frightening survival horror.”

“There's the skeleton of a good Mortal Kombat here, but it's lacking in meat. Low on personality and half-baked in its attempt to reboot the story, it feels fated to be remembered as the least interesting of the modern MK games.”

“Gorgeous and endearing, Rift Apart is a supremely likable adventure and a solid port-but at this price, it's hard to recommend over more substantial experiences.”

“Innovative puzzle design and truly astonishing visual trickery make this puzzle game a must-play-even if it doesn't quite have the space to make the most of its best ideas.”

“An enthralling horror mystery that, outside of its relatively short length, doesn't seem to have suffered at all from the difficult circumstances of its development.”

“A perfect balance of accessibility and strategic depth, elevated by charming visuals and buckets of personality.”
