Between the jokey dialog you uncover during missions, the opening thank-you screen, and the focus on user-created content, Volume is a charming game: it’s the sort of game that makes you feel as though if you ever met the lead designer, you’d pretend to like it just a little more than you actually did.- Hyper Magazine

Arkham Knight is certainly a bigger, and in many ways a better game than its predecessors, but those attempts to make it ‘more badass’ do more harm than good. Even so, any frustrations I have with Arkham Knight don’t take away from the fact that I was unable to stop playing for four days straight, frequently in awe. It’s a stunning achievement in many ways, a game of ridiculous polish and obvious effort, and its best moments are good enough to make the worst moments worth bearing.- Hyper Magazine

In a world of 200 hour RPG epics, it’s nice to have something so focused on a core experience. There’s depth here for those seeking it, or you can just make visitors cringe by showing them all the bone-breakers and finishers. Look, Nanna, this guy gets his spine ripped out through his mouth.- Hyper Magazine

If you plug time in and start to unlock stuff it's a fun way to pass the time, although it can also be very frustrating when it's not giving you what you need to progress. [Issue#257, p.78]- Hyper Magazine

An extremely esoteric game, but discovering every single thing it offers doesn't really matter. [Issue#257, p.78]- Hyper Magazine

A very cool puzzle game, but one that relies a little too heavily on the inherent brilliance of its concept. [Issue#257, p.77]- Hyper Magazine

Wave Wave's entire aesthetic is basically Super Hexagon, and it's gameplay is similarly inspired by it. [Issue#257, p.76]- Hyper Magazine

Great strategic action, made better by the addition of an open campaign. Some tutorials would have been nice. [Issue#257, p.71]- Hyper Magazine

Probably the best next gen exclusive we've seen so far. It's not perfect but a great return to form for Insomniac. [Issue#257, p.56]- Hyper Magazine

The free-to-play cash-grabbery is invasive, but the game is a lot of fun. [Issue#255, p.77]- Hyper Magazine
