    Stressful platforming action made infuriating by a bad camera. [January 2013, p78]

    Buggy and unpolished, Chronovolt isn't worth your time, no matter how many times your turn the clock back.

    Chronovolt is buggy, slow-paced and jerky in terms of frame rate. There are many action puzzles better than this on mobile devices.

    Chronovolt is definitely a really bad game, not worth the amount of space occupied in your memory card.

    It's not just the ball that will be rolling when you're playing Chronovolt, your eyes will be clocking in overtime too. It might be free if you're subscribed to PlayStation Plus, but you won't be doing yourself any favours by downloading it. It's boring. It's got a ton of bugs. It sucks balls. [January 2013, p.94]

    Chronovolt is a glitchy and unsatisfying title that's hard to recommend. While you may glean some enjoyment from its opening moments, the novelty swiftly wears thin. This title is best rolled out of sight, and into obscurity.

    The A.I. is laughable, the camera terrible and the bugs are plentiful.

    Once you get past the brown graphics, weird controls, unaccommodating hard difficulty, needless story, janky gameplay, there is some fun here.Once you get past the brown graphics, weird controls, unaccommodating hard difficulty, needless story, janky gameplay, there is some fun here. I don't know why but I kept coming back to this game despite being so frustrated I thought I was going uninstall. This game does seem to get better after playing it for a while and you get used to the uglyness of it all. Got it for free and it occupied me for hours so it is worth giving it a shot if you can get it for free.… Expand

I played it for a few hours because its free for PS Plus users. Its a puzzle platformer where you lead the ball you control through several labyrinth levels , collecting items and there also is a time challenge which is pretty hard. At the end of level you can get 3 stars if you collected everything in the time limit. Sometimes this game gets really frustrating and not entertaining.… Expand

    Why couldn't the developers just make the right stick control the camera in all directions like any TPS instead of only left and right?

An improved camera and complete removal of the story might make this better.… Expand

The controls are horrible, I had to buy the stupid vehicle pack to get the last few Chronovolts and the graphics are vomit inducing.

    The non-existent story is not worth nothing either and because this game is worth 8$ I would never buy this. Good thing it was on PS+.

    Sony, you should check games out before publishing them.    … Expand
