Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Reference library/Acorn User
Acorn User ran from 1982-2003 for 267 issues. Scans available on Internet Archive.
Most issues do not appear to have much about video games. There are, however, certain issues that have relevant content. Being a general Acorn computing magazine, this can offer some "outside" view. For most games, they don't seem to do score-based reviews and many game pages are basically press releases/ads. Game Show section focuses on game semi-reviewing and can have general industry info intro.
