"It looks and plays just fine, although the game is annoyingly slow with a story that's not much to write home about."
"It doesn't feel too bolted on, and instead adds more of the same good stuff that we all liked in the original."
"In short, it's not quite the triumphant return that this underrated adventure undoubtedly deserved."
"The story was a bit generic and the technical issues somewhat frustrating, however, looking beyond that, I enjoyed the rest of my quest."
"The story is great and the combat is spot on with interesting tactical elements and a narrative where choice seems to make a genuine impact."
"You can tell this was a labour of love, but possibly their biggest mistake was trying to deal with too much."
"A solid JRPG that offers some great storytelling, and I particularly enjoyed the strong emphasis on friendship and loyalty."
"There are plenty of things to see and do here, with a great campaign, multiplayer, and content creation tools ensuring additional longevity."
"While it's heavy on lore and therefore may not have broad appeal, turn-based tactics fans might still find enough to like here that makes it worth pushing through."
"It's a bit sluggish at the beginning, but I loved the mechanics surrounding my apocalyptic fetch quests across the wastelands of the future."
"There are a couple of things that we didn't love, however, if you like a '90s-inspired shooter with lots of action and secrets to find, check it out."
"Desperados III is a great experience; it's fun, tactical, and interesting, with a variety of creative ways for you to dispatch your opponents."
"There was a lot of dying and yes I found it too tricky at times, but the combat and the action was always engaging."
"Recommended to players who like a challenge and enjoy roguelikes and/or arcade shooters. If you're after a farming game, however, you might want to look elsewhere."
"We liked the atmosphere that the game was able to build - the graphics, premise and sound design all build a freaky and intense experience."
"It may not offer anything particularly new, nor is it massively long, but Fury Unleash is still bags of fun."
"All in all, we had lots of fun with Ion Fury, but this retro shooter won't be for everyone."
"All in all, Stranded Deep is good fun and will keep you entertained for a few hours."
"If you're looking for a zombie-filled experience that evokes the spirit of the '90s classics, replay one of the new Resident Evil remakes instead."
"Snow was well and truly what the doctor ordered and this is a hugely entertaining outing that lets you get to grips with some truly adverse terrain."
"If you can get on with the control system and the sometimes over-long battles, you will find an interesting and inviting adventure."
"If you bought Resident Evil 3 and are looking for more hours of zombie slaying, don't discount this addition. It might just surprise you."
"If you like RPGs with a tactical edge, then you might like the story-driven approach here."
"For those of you looking for something that will make you think but offers a bit more zip, it should prove a welcome change."
"Tonal concerns aside, Dead or School is a good game that offered quite a bit of fun."
"All in all, we had a nice time with this unusual little sim, although it would have been nice to have more content."
"It tries to do something different and we applaud the intention. That said, it felt a bit too lonely and frustrating at times."
"If you're a big fan of Theme/tycoon titles and funny games in general, we heartily recommend that you book an appointment to see this one."
"It looks and feels great, most of the time, and if you're a massive fan of the sport, you should definitely check it out."
"A stunning game with a great soundtrack that tells some interesting stories, but it's not a tactical masterpiece."
"It's certainly a trilogy that offers a lot of game time, and it's great that all of this content has been pulled together into one package."
"If you enjoyed Jurassic World Evolution, this is an exceptional addition that adds plenty to the experience."
"The story is magnificent, it boasts a brilliant soundtrack, and there's a great range of animals for you to take control of."
"While it's definitely one for fans of the show, anyone who enjoys this kind of sci-fi strategy should check it out."
"It's one for the fans, and there are some good features in there, however, strange AI decisions made the missions a bit too easy at times."
"It has all the elements you'd want from a futuristic shooter, yet nearly everything we encountered was either under-cooked or over-simplified."
"The lack of a scaling challenge alienates adults and older kids from having what could have been a lot of fun"
"It looks great, is packed with humour, and it's a nice nostalgic feeling to return to the classic all these years later."
"If you're a fan of old school JRPGs or want something in the vein of Harvest Moon on the sea, maybe have a little look at this."
"A good-looking, solid fishing affair that gives you a huge range of equipment and some good spots to go fishing."
"If you loved things like Theme Park or Theme Hospital, you should definitely take a look at this."

"All in all, Spiders has created a solid addition to any RPG lover's digital shelf."
"It's a deep rally sim with lots of modes and plenty of things to do."
"What starts off as a nice little run around ends up looking like it's been stripped for parts by the end of each race."
"The map and battles look great, with interesting varieties in the looks of units."
"The AI needs a bit of work, however, it's good if you're looking for something light and fun."
