People, you need this game. I cannot tell you enough, it is a game that is worthy of your time. It is one of those games you feel envelope you, suck you in and hold you close. It will stick with you long after the roll of the credits; Alone With You truly is a special game.

For a very reasonable asking price, you get a very potent horror game that, ultimately, leans a little too heavily on its jump-scares to carve out a unique personality of its own.

The most disappointing feature is the promise from the art style and character designs.

It’s a more complete package than the base game alone, and if you crave for the days of classic horror games such as Scratches or Silent Hill, Layers of Fear: Masterpiece Edition delivers in spades. In the run up to autumn, it’d be great to crack out at Halloween on the big screen with surround sound, letting your family all take turns scaring each other half to death.

I’m rating this an 8/10 for excellent story telling, great setting and premise and for flawlessly weaving together a solid mix of gameplay mechanics to create an overall fulfilling and enthralling experience from start to finish.

Attack on Titan the game is an excellent interactive recreation of the show.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron certainly does have its flaws but the intense gameplay makes up for what the game is lacking.

A great attempt at merging a superbly crafted story, exceptional acting and pressurised decision making.

After playing through more levels and trying out the different characters, I am pleased to say that although it is not as intense as Koei’s Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, it is a nice hack and slash game to have on the 3DS. So if you are a cat person but also like to battle with them, then this game is the perfect combo for you.

As it stands right now, Momentum is a completely average example of the genre. The core of the game is solid and robust. The challenge and feeling of reward is there in full. Hampered by the terrible camera implementation however, and it becomes a chore to progress through.

It’s funny witty and has a lot of character. It won’t be for everyone but if you’re a fan of turn based JRPGS, anime or are just looking for a good time sink I would say give this a try.

Grow Up is a great game which has taken what made the first game so enjoyable and has added some fun new abilities and mechanics to make exploration even more enjoyable.

There is nothing inherently broken in the game, but there is plenty that could be fixed. Valley is fun (at times), but is simply not polished enough to maintain consistent amounts of said fun.

Definitely the best workshop add-on so far simply due to the scale of it and the additional story.

Whether it will garner the kind of global success that it deserves remains to be seen, but as it stands, an argument could be made for King of Fighters XIV being the finest brawler of the generation.

Unsurprisingly, the core gameplay and the option to play locally with friends are what hold strong, perhaps indicating that no matter what technological advances come our way, the tried-and-tested strategic Risk experience will always be relevant.

Elder Games really did a great job with Meridian: Squad 22. The polished graphics were complimented very nicely by the challenging gameplay and were heightened by an awesome score.

For those who like a bit of puzzle solving now and again, and take a break from exploration, story and action, then Metrico+ is a delight to get stuck into.

Without a doubt an awesome way to kick-off the series. It does a great job balancing out play time between Bruce Wayne and Batman and the gameplay was varied enough to keep me engaged the whole way through.

Arcade Archives: Scramble is not a great game. It’s in no way the fault of HAMSTER Corporation, because the port is not the issue. It’s just a very dated game.

Bears Can’t Drift!? will not offer a great single player experience. It is clearly designed for multiplayer, which is no bad thing. But the lack of an online option and a reliance on local multiplayer will affect the longevity of an otherwise enjoyable title.

Worms is back, Worms is here to stay, and it is a lot of laughs to boot. Buy it, and prepare yourself for one fun filled night of gaming, as you wont want to turn it off.

Just like Portal, although perhaps not quite as impactful, Blendo Games have come along and changed the way people perceive the environmental puzzler. It’s the finer details though that ultimately let it down; there’s never really a stress test of your skills, and you’re never confronted with a situation where you can use your entire arsenal to overcome the ultimate puzzle. Still, it looks great and, despite a degree wasted potential, plays great too.

Solar Shifter is a fun Indie game. Targeting a niche corner of the gaming community in all honesty, but if you’re feeling brave and fancy your chances then give it a go. A few issues that if they were fixed and or changed, would have warranted a higher score.

Ultimately, Solbrain Knight of Darkness is not a game that is so bad it’s good. Instead it’s just categorically, unconditionally bad, and there is no fun to be eked from this mess of a game. This assault on the senses is a disgrace to the PSN and I’m absolutely bamboozled as to why Sony greenlit this tripe. Even those with a morbid curiosity should avoid this game and not waste their time and money. Simply put, this is a depressing catastrophe of a game.

The game doesn’t do anything too new, or groundbreaking and is simply a card game. If that is all you’re looking for, you’re in luck. Otherwise, don’t expect much from the game. For me, this will be the only version of the game I’ll be playing from now on.

No Man’s Sky is currently a great game, and it has the potential to be a truly amazing one.

A fantastic game that gave me a nostalgic kick whilst having its own unique charm and style.

Full Mojo Rampage may put some players off if they don’t enjoy rogue-like games or twin-stick shooters but this manages to feel addictive and worth the challenge.

Overall, Castles fails to deliver on the key mechanic to that makes us all play video games, gameplay. As charming as the game’s visuals are, the gameplay is just not on point and in a puzzle environment.

Longevity is the main issue however with only 14 levels and the lack of variety. The challenge of later levels just become frustrating while the boss levels are particularly disappointing, the first tank boss level was so poor I actually laughed out loud.

At £14.99 this game is a solid investment for time and money. Get ready to use your brain and your senses, or else be prepared to get killed on the regs by unseen enemies – that’s right, there was no ‘killcam’ in the 1940s…

Never boring, always changing and fun to play, Neon Chrome is a game every indie gamer should have in their collection.

If you’re looking for a challenging brain work out or even something to do between Overwatch matches, then Binaries is the game for you.

With 20 levels, no save points and a punishing time limit, you need to be on your A game if your want any chance of making it to the end.

Breach & Clear: Deadline is a nice change of pace in an otherwise overcrowded genre, bringing a touch of strategy to the mass of zombie survival games out there. Whether it can find a home on console remains to be seen, especially with its lacklustre presentation and performance in an age where anything below 1080p/60fps is frowned upon (to put it politely), but it’s still worth a look.

Arcade Archives: Solomon’s Key is one of those games that actually did age pretty well. At least as far as gameplay is concerned. It’s challenging, yet fair and long enough, but not so long that it feels like it drags on. Outside of gameplay though, it’s a pretty average game, but if you like old games, it’s one of the better ones to check out in the Arcade Archives collection.

It’s slow pace won’t be for everyone and a great deal of patience is required and while the gameplay in Lifeless Planet definitely isn’t great, it’s passable. The greatness lies in the mystery and exploration of this planet.

It was an interesting experience to draw with my 3DS compared to using a real life pencil and paper which was great fun. So if you’re a budding artist or interested in creating your very own manga then Comic Workshop 2 is always open for you.

While much of Super Challenge feels liked a ramped up rehash of what has come before, the five imaginative boss battles do at least provide something undeniably unique.

Starbound is coming into a genre that most people either love or hate. I really wonder if there is room in someone’s schedule for yet another crafting game. Starbound is certainly a good one of those, but it doesn’t really stand out among the many challengers.

Ambition of the Slimes is a lot of fun if one has the patience to deal with its various faults, and can get into its challenging gameplay. It is far more difficult than first impressions would suggest, but rewards the player with a good level of replayability; pick it up and give it a go, and before you know it you’ll have spent several hours in a row wreaking vengeance on the nasty humans with your merry band of slimes.

I think the game could perhaps benefit from AI bots to play against, but it’s very well presented and there is a lot of variety to keep things entertain for a while.

One thing I really like is the music in the level selector, it sounds weird at first but after some time I started to enjoy the tunes this game was blasting into my ears.

I can’t recommend this game highly enough and I also can’t see a single gamer who wouldn’t enjoy playing it; it’s relaxing and endearing style almost makes me wish I could escape into that demon-filled forest.

If you’re looking for an addictive Tetris clone that’s polished and inexpensive, it’s hard not to recommend Quatros Origins.

As much as I want to give this game a better review, I simply can’t because of two main reasons. First, the crazy difficulty spike right before the fourth wave of zombies and the fact that the main thing that attracted me to the game, having Twitch viewers control your game, being hard to use.

A few bugs aside, including some framerate jumps, the game is very playable and quite fun. But creating your own, individual lore for each character is where Moon Hunters shines.

They were bad on last-gen consoles, but on the PlayStation 4, their array of faults are all the more unforgivable. You might be getting two games for the price of one, but in this instance, that’s not necessarily a good thing.

The game has a simplistic style but still feels playful and vibrant, with a fun narrative giving the gameplay purpose. I would certainly recommend this game if you like a challenge or playing with friends.

If you enjoy managing simple resources while watching your troops do their thing, you’ll probably like this game. For me, Kingdom may be a bit on the simple side, but it is this simplicity that keeps me coming back to try, try again.

It might not do anything particularly new for the now well-worn roguelike genre, but Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate does so many things right that it’s hard to get too down on its apparent lack of originality.

Tricky Towers is a nice and fun game, which will give you a lot of fun, specifically at parties. With a couple of drinks involved, this game will be a hit. Considering it is one of this months PlayStation Plus games, there is no better time than the present to download it.

TRIZEAL Remix is up your alley if you love old school arcade games. For everyone else I am not too sure. I think it would be an acquired taste for everyone else.

Overall Daydreamer: Awakened Edition is a unique game with some awesome ideas and brilliant character design, as well as intriguing worlds to fight through.

It’s fun, and probably will keep you entertained in short bursts, and with 6 modes of play to occupy you, it wont let you down.

f you want a cheap game you can have a proper gaming session with and pull an all-nighter to complete, this isn’t for you. This is a good game for people that want to pass a few minutes, but minutes can turn to hours quicker than you’d think. You’ve been warned.

I personally had fun with it and was impressed with the overall presentation, however the repetitive gameplay leads me to feel that it is still quite overpriced.

With a decent experience for solo players and funny – if occasionally long winded – multiplayer matches, there’s plenty to pass the time with here. Not a groundbreaking title by any means, but it’s polished, bug-free and looks really nice, uncluttered and bright. Just a fun game to crack out when your mates pop around.

Though boss battles may be unoriginal, the nostalgic music, gameplay and overall tone make Ninja Smasher a smash hit.

It’s not the best game in the series by any stretch of the imagination, but that fantastic, fast paced, arcade-style gameplay is fully intact with Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS Force delivering one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I have had on the Vita in quite some time.

An awesome start to what I hope is a fantastic series.

If you are like me, and looking at jumping in on The Banner Saga having skipped the first one my advice is pretty simple – don’t. Do yourself a favour and spare the extra coin in getting the first game bundled along with it, you’ll thank yourself in the long run.

Overall Hunter’s Legacy is not a bad game, it’s just not great. It does have some very interesting Metroidvania elements and I enjoyed the sense of progression when eventually finding the correct path I was supposed to be taking. I was disappointed with the lackluster combat, which ultimately hindered my overall enjoyment.

Shmups Skill Test is admittedly low on content, and is better described as an application to quantify your thumb-skills rather than a fully fledged shooting game.

A unique and awe-inspiring game; the story, while open to exposition, has much to say and every one should delve in to the depths and have a listen.

No, the Inheritance DLC doesn’t stray far from the feeling the base game gives, but it is definitely it’s own, separate story with its own protagonist and endings. If you didn’t enjoy the main game, you won’t enjoy this. But if you are like me and found the way the game tells its story interesting and worth the time to play through, then this DLC is perfect for you.

Certainly it could do with being a bit longer, and some extra hints would be useful, but the typing-based command scheme adds a whole extra facet to an already impressive indie title and it’s one I can heartily recommend.

Even though the game has a few quirks and faults, it is still extremely fun, rewarding, and aesthetically pleasing. In the end, isn’t that all that matters in a game?

A fairly standard strategy title which for me lacks a little bit of magic.

Overall I really enjoyed my time with Retro City Rampage DX is this is the best way to play the game, with slight improvements to the controls and game difficulty.

Earth Defense Force 4.1 isn’t a game with an amazing story and the graphics are often less than impressive but the gameplay is addictive and easily accessible.

Once you see how different Obliteracers is, and all the better for it, you’ll have discovered a great little racing game with lots of fun to be had with friends.

I want Phantasmal to be amazing, the idea behind it is wonderful. However, the game simply fails and does not live up to the promise.

Human: Fall Flat just doesn’t have the humour of Octodad: Deadliest Catch or the challenge of Surgeon Simulator. Whilst it does have a few good ideas, especially with the incredibly fun swinging puzzles, and it’s obvious a lot of thought has gone into how the few mechanics can be used to their best effect, it just doesn’t make up for its many flaws.

This game clearly wasn’t optimized for the PS4. Nothing about this game should be challenging the PS4’s hardware to this extent so I’m clueless as to why this game performs as badly as it does. Overall I would say this is one to avoid.

If you like games like Streets of Rage and you enjoy funny writing and leveling characters, then you’ll love this. For me, the pinnacle of the Brawler/RPG crossover.

The randomness of Death Road to Canada may put off some, the difficulty can spike instantly and whilst you could have done everything right up until this point, the game is unforgiving in its punishment and to some that may seem incredibly frustrating. Though for many this game will prove to be a game that takes up a lot of time with its replayability, remembering to embrace the randomness and the games jittering pace.

The graphics look great, with very vibrant colours throughout the game. It’s fun to play, nice to look at and there’s a good number of laughs. It’s not a serious game, nor is it a triple A title; But it is fun.

It’s the tip of the spear of what could be a major JRPG resurgence, a sign that the games of old haven’t lost their place within the hearts and minds of millions of players out there. While there are certainly some way that they could be updated to better fit more modern sensibilities, the main ingredients of this formula are, for the most part, nailed here in I Am Setsuna and show that one the long revered genres in gaming is primed for a comeback.

By modern standards, casual players will find Maldita Castilla EX a difficult game to progress through. It’s by no means unfair, but it can be frustrating to have to continue again and again from the same screen while you try to figure out a particular enemies attack pattern, or a certain platforming rhythm. The game is old school through and through, and makes no apologies for providing an experience on par with the classic Capcom platformers of yesteryear. More importantly, with varied levels and tight mechanics, it’s just great fun to play.

There was a decent amount of enemies, nothing in the vein of Smash TV, with its ridiculous amount of enemies on screen in a bullet hell scenario, but it does a respectable job of what it’s got.

The presentation is once again very good, with an interesting cast a lovable characters, a different style of story and new world to visit. The style of the game still has plenty of video game references and the humour is always fitting to the Minecraft franchise.

At the price of £15.99, I would suggest that you wait for a sale if you really want it that badly in your collection. As it stands, there are far better games out there worthy of your money.

Bomb Jack is not a bad game and this is an excellent port. But it’s certainly not worth what HAMSTER is charging for it. It’s definitely fun a few times but ultimately I wouldn’t pay more than a few dollars for this small amount of gameplay.

It has visually interesting tricks and stunts, but that’s about as close as it gets to being a good arcade racer. Only a select few of the maps were interesting and the gameplay was frustrating at the best of times.

I really wanted to like this game, the game mechanics, at least in theory, seem sound, the visual style is interesting, and running across walls is almost always fun in any game. However, Rising Islands is far too unpolished to be considered picking up. The movement is fluid as heck when it works, but far too often it is let down by unresponsive controls and a wayward camera.

The game has decent gameplay and few funny lines from a few characters while there are just as many feel good moments. I wish I could say that the gameplay more than makes up for these moments, but really the gameplay is mediocre and fairly forgettable.

Overall EXZEAL is a challenging space shooter that has responsive controls, is fun to play and has local co-op multiplayer. The game looks dated and may not pack the punch of modern shooters but its still very enjoyable.

I like Boom Ball, despite the issues with the left hand control. It did make it annoying when trying to grab that gold medal. But it’s not the most important life goal. Nice to get them, but not the end of the world. Either way, I will at least attempt to get all 55 levels complete.

All in all, Snooker Nation Championship is looking like a worthy sports sim for both seasoned players and newbies alike. We’re looking forward to getting our hands on the finished product.

Using intelligent AR, straightforward controls and that uncontrollable itch to “Catch ’em all”, Niantic have got the building blocks to something really special. To keep this momentum going fresh updates and major improvements to servers are crucial.

With it’s cool customisable options, its solid core gameplay and its clever use of time, just about anyone with an interest in the genre should find something to like here.

Despite its dated mechanics and lack of new content, new players will certainly find a lot to love in this grand adventure.

A disappointing package. Taken on its own merits, playing the game is a bland exercise in mediocrity. Fun, but fleeting.

It was a pleasant surprise to find out just how much fun this game really is, it’s a fantastically refreshing take of the classics Lemmings formula and for its current price of £9.99 it is definitely worth every penny.

The game does do a good job of making you want to try just one more run and tip-toe just a little bit further than before.

This latest game has some good ideas and I do love a good twin-stick shooter but unfortunately this game falls short and the gameplay becomes stake very quickly. The game looks great and runs well but doesn’t manage to capture the essence of what make the franchise so enjoyable. If the game had more depth, deeper story and meaningful gameplay it could have been so much better.
