"The game's theme, clearly inspired by Blade Runner, is accompanied by an equally Blade Runner-inspired environment and level design."
Text: Lisa Dahlgren

Unbox: Newbie's Adventure
"Newbie's first adventure may be packaged with some original ideas, its execution is a little rough around the edges."
Text: Kieran Harris
Aven Colony
"A touch more detail in a couple of key systems would've terraformed this decent city builder into an excellent one."
Text: Mike Holmes
Deadcore
"When it comes to playing it with a controller on the PS4, it's more of a frustrating chore than an enjoyable platformer."
Text: Ford James
Sundered
"Unfortunately, like Jotun, Sundered does not fulfil its potential due to a few technical issues and poor design choices."

Text: A. R. Teschner
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles
"A wonderful world full of adventure and things to find, but unfortunately there's not quite enough substance beyond that."
Text: Kim Orremark

"The maps are big, there are lots of ways to move around, they're full of different enemy types, and there are multiple objectives."
Text: Mike Holmes

Text: Ford James
Arizona Sunshine
"This half-hearted zombie shooter feels bland and unpolished, and the only highlight is that the shooting mechanics work well."

Text: Sam Bishop

"This remaster has been wonderfully done, and the rest of the world can now finally experience the extras that previously were only available to Japanese players."
Text: Graham Bellars

"So many elements work excellently, and the visuals are among the best in the business."
