Mugen Souls will not be for everyone it’s bogged down by heavy tutorials and its complicated Moet system. For those who are fans of the hyper dimension series or other games such as Trinity Universe it might be worth a look for those who are fans of RPGs such as Final Fantasy it might not be what you’re expecting.

A great title that remains true to the source material, and one that fans of both the Escapists and the Walking Dead will love. Whether the daily grind of washing dirty clothes and working out in the gym will be for everyone else is another question, but this unusual and unique take on one of TV’s bests is at the very least a fun and challenging RPG.

There appears to have been a crisis of confidence, a lack of faith that the simplistic nucleus would have been enough to sustain an entire game.

Unfortunately, while the game was fun and entertaining, the dungeons lacked what other JRPG’s don’t. There just wasn’t as much going on as you’d hope for and I feel like I spent a little too much of the game just walking around, but I won’t despair as overall I found that the game was worth playing.

Graphically speaking Krinkle Krusher has that modern cartoonish freemium style we see way too much of these days. The enemies you face in the first few rounds all look the same.

If you’ve played the games before then the Uncharted Collection serves as a great reminder of the story up to now in preparation for Uncharted 4, and for those of you who have not played any of the previous entries, or only played one or two, then this game is a must.

Teslapunk is a delightful sci-fi vertically scrolling shooter. It captures great addictive gameplay with the guilty pleasure cheesiness of 80s space adventures that can’t be denied. Lasers erupt and death rays fly, and so will the time with Teslapunk.

Somebody has invented a completely new puzzle principle that seems endless in its possibilities, is fun and challenges your brain cells.

There’s a lot of potential in here, gasping for air – I’m hopeful for whatever they turn their hands to next. But Animal Gods is merely a demo, a testing-ground for Still Games to learn their trade.

While the graphics and sound are a bit lacking, I have to say that Rogue State is a class act as far as indies go. I absolutely endorse it and can’t wait to play it more since I still haven’t successfully completed 60 turns.

Whilst it suffers from framerate problems and the co-driver stumbling over pace notes, it may be unpolished and certainly not representative of PS4 quality visuals, WRC 5 does still offer fantastic handling and a thrilling gameplay experience that rally fans will enjoy.

Quest of Dungeons is an awesome little rogue-like game that was much better than I expected. The game isn’t hugely long..., but it doesn’t need to be.

For those players who are in love with the series, and there are many out there, Might & Magic Heroes VII is a perfectly decent addition to the family. It doesn’t really offer anything new, but follows a tried and true formula that’s clearly popular enough to have gained legions of fans worldwide.

Overall Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment is a game for true anime fans. For those looking for a traditional RPG, I suggest watching the first part of season one of the series before diving into this game as it will make more sense.

This is a fun story driven RPG that shows classic elements from older turn-based and free roaming games of the sort alike to some of the original Final Fantasy games. Although if you are not interested in the story or the characters then it may seem a little slow.

Overall I thought that the idea behind the game was interesting but unfortunately the uninspired visuals, repetitive gameplay and lackluster soundtrack was a bit of a let down.

It takes the more addictive elements from popular puzzle franchises and combines them with finesse.

I could not recommend this game enough, it is by far my favourite game ever and if you haven’t played it you should, even though I’ve spoilt it in this review (YOU WERE WARNED).

Transformers: Devastation is by far and away the best video game interpretation of this most beloved of franchises and a timely reminder (if one was needed), of just how good Platinum Games are when it comes to fast-paced action games.

Alf’s Escape is beautiful, quirky, funny and was a pleasure to jump back into. It’s an insanely tough game thanks to its brilliantly created puzzles, and their will certainly be dozens and dozens of deaths. I would certainly recommend Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty – Alf’s Escape if you like a challenge.

A great game that should be in anyone’s library. However, it does seem as though Omega Force focused too much on cosmetic additions, causing several aspects of mechanics to be hindered.

So.. Is the game a massive flop?….No. It just needs tweaking slightly in the right areas and given a patch or two to unlock it’s true potential.

After graphics the rest of inSynch kind of just falls apart. It’s more a game to be experienced then taken seriously for play.

The visuals are understandably rudimentary by today’s standards, but Buta san, with its bright colourful aesthetic and endearing cartoon design, stands as one of the better looking Arcade Archive releases and a welcome re-release for a game that the majority of Western gamers will have never heard of, let alone played.

Apart from the slow pacing, this is probably the finest space sim we’ve ever played.

Its gameplay is marred by the scoring system, the off-key notes, lack of song variety, and the amount of distractions. Being a rhythm game, that’s too great a toll.

If you're willing to immerse yourself in some very dark, uncomfortable places – the hopeless and suffocating thoughts of a lonely man riddled with depression – then this fascinating, bonecrushing portrait of a man on the edge may very well be an experience for you. Be warned – Actual Sunlight is definitely not for the faint of heart.

I would recommend this game if you liked Dead Nation as its easy to pick up and play in short or long gameplay sessions.

Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance has so much content it’s just at times amazingly overwhelming. The amount of quests to do is staggering.

As a short, exploratory (and possibly experimental) experience, Star Sky works well. Its £3.60 price point on the WiiU eShop makes it an enticing purchase and for anyone wanting to relax for an hour, it’s a decent choice. Just an ultimately forgettable one.

Overall Kaiju Panic is a vibrant, quirky and at times frustrating little title with big monsters.

As it stands, Rock Band 4 can only be judged based upon what is available today, and while the on the disk track list isn’t as impressive as that found on any of its predecessors, this is still a highly entertaining and finely crafted entry in the series.

It’s far from perfect, but there is something undeniably special about Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

I specifically like the ‘one life’ mode and the ‘timed’ mode which are pretty self-explanatory but just added that extra little challenge into an already fun game.

Standpoint may not be scoring any home-runs in the indie ballgame, but it could be a hit to some. A unique gravity mechanic helps keep it from falling under the overcrowded generic platformer category. Solid sound design and an original story may be enough for a fan of the indie puzzle genre to try this brain-teaser out.

If you are one of those hipsters of gaming who think that “platformers are not as good as they used to be”, let Ninja Pizza girl teach you a lesson and you know what: Even if you don’t particularly like platformers, you will probably enjoy this game.

Sublevel Zero is fantastic, it’s hard enough that you want to keep pushing yourself, although after a while it can get frustrating and a bit repetitive but it’s a game you can keep going back to, it’s cheap and hardly takes up any hard drive space, which is a bonus.

It’s a genuinely good game that, although may already be showing signs of age, is still a blast to play. It was not the first outrageously difficult platform game and certainly won’t be the last, but it definitely stands out on its own as a superb piece of work.

It’s not even slightly challenging as you always feel over powered and you end up simply not caring as you destroy everything in sight.

Nova-111 has some good things going for it, especially the vibrant style and enemy variation. I also enjoyed some of the combat elements. I thought that the game wasn’t as strong in terms of level structure or design and I wasn’t keen on the restricted field of vision.

It is almost as addicting as Smash Bros. It may not be as challenging or have as many characters as Smash Bros. but definitely worth checking out.

Samurai Warriors 4-II was a fun game to play at first, but it eventually became mind-numbingly repetitive.

A decent platform adventure, but one that struggles with its identity.

To me there is no doubt that Q.U.B.E Directors Cut is a very decent Eshop offering. If you are looking for a unique puzzler with an interesting storyline and great presentation I would say you go a lot worse than this one for your money.

I have no problem saying that I loved playing Pixel Galaxy. I still haven’t finished all the difficulties and I find the whole thing extremely frustrating, but I fully endorse the experience.

If you loved the original and want to go back some scifi horror nostalgia then i highly recommend you get the enhanced version as the changes are aesthetic and don’t take away from the game you loved as a kid.

It’s no match for Treasure or Cave’s finest examples of the genre, but judged on its own merits, this is a fine addition to the ever growing library of fantastic indie titles on the PS4 and another great shooter to add to the collection.

It’s combination of rhythm-based gameplay and endless runner-style mechanics is somewhat unique, and while it might initially appear a better fit for handheld gaming, a solid structure and selection of challenges ensures that it works surprisingly well on a home console.

Still, despite that holdover from its original iOS design, Leo’s Fortune nonetheless remains a hugely entertaining platformer with great visuals and charm in abundance.

Toto Temple deluxe is extremely simple and easy to jump into.

The visual experience is a real kaleidoscope of colour as the beat and tempo changes different colours and shapes form, explode and dance their way across the screen in an extremely beautiful harmony until you miss press a button sequence or die then a nasty audible feedback noise shoots through the speakers.

A pretty solid and well presented Indie game. It has a well presented story line and makes good use of sound effects to build the tension.

It really is the perfect party game as not only something fun to do but even for new people to get to know each other.

As a study in human behaviour and survival, and as a story-based game of exploration, SOMA is absolutely a success. But as a horror game, it’s just not possible to overlook the feeling of boredom created during the monster encounters that are so integral to the experience as a whole, and that the game is at least two hours longer than necessary.

Too many bugs and technical shortcomings keep this nightmare deep in the sea.

It’s essentially a dusty gem for those looking for some good, old-fashioned dungeon crawling, however, those coming to the game with modern eyes expecting a solid action RPG maybe pleasantly surprised too.

A simple thing like a shield pick up could have made this game more accessible to a larger audience. Forgoing that, just a checkpoint when you’ve completed a task so you don’t have to repeat them all every time you die as it gets monotonous. If you can get past that and have the skills and patience required then this is a great game for those looking for that next seemingly impossible challenge.

Adventures of Pip has the possibility to bring home the memory of side-scrolling glory. If you don’t mind being plagued with repetitive levels, non inviting visuals, and a predictable story, this may be worth your time to scratch that platforming itch.

I enjoyed Pumped BMX+ because of it fun gameplay and pleasing aesthetics. It’s much like OlliOlli, which is a good thing.

I cant recommend this game enough simply for the experience of a totally unique game unrivalled in the games from the past, present and future. A must buy for those wanting an emotional connection to the developers themselves.

Overcomes its issues thanks to its glorious visual design, it’s upbeat attitude and the fact that, while feeling a little more forced this time around, it remains a highly entertaining and endlessly charming adventure that ultimately delivers an experience that is more than the sum of its individual parts.

I don’t enjoy crapping on video games, but this really is a stinker of undeniably epic proportions.

The competitive multiplayer won’t keep you busy for long and the lack of online co-op is certainly a disappointment, but despite these relatively minor issues, the Claeys Brothers’ throwback run and gun shooter, Guns, Gore & Cannoli is a fantastic update of the Metal Slug template and brilliant shooter in its own right.

Heroes of loot is worth giving a go as it manages to capture a perfect blend of dungeon crawling and shooting that feels extremely satisfying.

At times, it actively goes out of its way to stop you from enjoying yourself with its awful menu system and nefarious mazes. But if you give it a chance, learn its intricate systems and master its labyrinth-like dungeons, there is a very solid and enjoyable old-school dungeon crawler hidden underneath its harsh exterior that is waiting to be savored by those who are willing to give it a chance.

Even with a fast forward button games of Grand Ages: Medieval will take a large chunk of time, furthermore the game forces you to take part in heavy trade to be able to keep your money out of negative and if you decide to go towards a more militaristic route then you will need to be able to fund your army.

The Red Solstice delivers. You get what’s advertised and that is perfectly fine. If you enjoyed titles like XCOM, Diablo and sometimes think back to 2004’s “Full Spectrum Warrior” with a warm nostalgic feeling, then you will undoubtedly enjoy this game and it’s tactical RPG-styled gameplay.

For those who are board game fans, this is a game you should add to your collection. For anyone else, Armello offers something different to what is currently available on the Playstation 4. It is a beautiful looking gem and certainly worth a king’s ransom.

A basic but enjoyable top down shooter with fast paced game play that was a little ahead of its time. It’s a shame that this version on the Vita has not worked well at all. It looks and feels old, its tedious and repetitive.

A little bit too unforgiving as far as ranking since you have to achieve a certain rank to unlock the final level, but ultimately not a terrible game.

This for me is one of the best indie offerings this year and I would say it is worth the price point for sure, do yourself a favour and give it at try if you think at all it would suit you.

There is still room for improvement of course, but while EA continues to chase the tangible recreation of Sky’s Super Sunday coverage, Pro Evo has instead attempted to capture the more elusive essence of the sport itself.

It might be worth the slightly crisper version, just to experience it all over again.

As it stands it’s a bit of a mess.

I did enjoy my time with Magnetic Cage Closed, and some of the physics puzzles did have me pondering for a few seconds, but the greatest feeling I came away with was the desire to play Portal again, which, in its own way, is probably one of the best kind of back-handed compliments I could possibly give.

Lumini has amazing graphics, beautiful music, and the Lumini are very sweet. The game is relaxing, but there is just not enough to do in the game. I found myself getting bored really fast.

There is plenty to admire about Guncraft as it does a number of things well without ever being outstanding at anything.

It’s fun, it’s challenging and it’s fast paced making for an entertaining gaming session all round.

My score for this barely scrapes average and does so only due to the fantastic music and artistic environments.

Minor design hiccup aside, Blood Bowl 2 is an otherwise resounding success that does enough to please fans of the board game while delivering enough in the way of exciting and accessible gameplay to make this a genuine option for those with no prior interest in the Warhammer brand.

Having seen what it is possible to create with these pixels I would have liked more complicated artwork to draw. However, Tappingo 2 is an excellent colouring book puzzle that will having you sticking around for a while.

The lack of an easily definable grid system does mean that Hyper Void feels less precise than some of the more famous examples of the genre, and yes, the inclusion of a story is both strange and largely pointless, but thanks to its fantastic level design, silky smooth 60fps visuals and the brilliant implementation of a power gauge, Hyper Void represents another fine example of the genre, one that can comfortably stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Tempest and TxK.

An enjoyable and surprisingly unique shooter. It might look like Xevious, and in many respects, play like Xevious, but with its distinctive cast of enemies (there are plenty of dinosaurs), its impressive upgrade system and its solid core mechanics, Nichibutsu’s ode to Xevious is a game worth seeking out if you consider yourself a fan of the shooter genre or of 80s arcade gaming in general.

A nice alternative from an already established monster of the RTS genre Eugen Systems.

The hardcore Destiny fan will most likely have already bought this without a thought as the game becomes fairly unplayable if you don’t. The more discerning that haven’t already sold or tried Destiny and looking to see if it’s worth trying or going back for this I’d say wait for a discount and then pick it up because it is definitely worth playing.

It’s still Madden as you know it, but thanks to an array of improvements to the passing and receiving game, Madden NFL 16 arguably represents the finest entry is the series to date.

The gameplay is frantic, fast-paced and unique.

The fact that there’s no story makes the game feel a bit empty at times, but the brilliant controls and interesting environmental design made it feel fun.

For fans of racing sims and/or of the Forza series, the streamlined career mode and the improved handling make the game an essential purchase.

In a nutshell, Lost Dimension is one of the most addictive gameplay experiences I’ve played on the Vita in a while.

It manages to maintain an even balance of being fun and being educational.

It’s far from the best RTS game on the market, and existing Planetary Annihilation players whose enthusiasm has waned are unlikely to find much here to reignite it.

A nice, story driven entry in the 2D side scrolling adventure genre. Certain aspects do frustrate, and it can trip itself up in places, but when these are overlooked what lies underneath is an interesting stealth game, built up around a 1930’s story that is helped along by it’s fully voiced cast.

Will I be playing Overruled! again? No but if you can find someone who’s willing to play with you or by some miracle you find an online lobby then maybe give it a go, but don’t get your hopes up too high.

Anna’s Quest is a game that has a unique story that gets more complicated as the game goes on, a strong heroine, fun to play, challenging, slightly dark but at the same time has a lot of humor and heart.

A great game for point and click enthusiasts and a welcome introduction to anyone new to the genre.

It represents a lot of the things that a wrong with the videogames industry and we as consumers shouldn’t stand for it.

A fun game to play but it doesn’t take too long before it gets repetitive.
