The presentation of the game is probably what I liked most.

Overall The Fall of Gods is an awesome game that I would certainly suggest you play, if you like games like Zelda or Alundra. The world is a huge, exciting and colourful play to explore. The characters and quests are interesting and it kept me entertained throughout. I hope to see more games like this in the future.

Ubisoft definitely took a leap of faith with creating the Chronicles series, one that unfortunately didn’t land them safely in a haystack.

The amount of variety that comes with the clubs is outstanding and the developers have outdone themselves with this feature, which I believe makes it a worthwhile purchase.

With a bit more challenge, perhaps with another area or two, or puzzles with a bit more depth, the gameplay could have been extended a little. But as it stands, the price is so low and the game is so fun and relaxing, Ascent of Kings is certainly worth your pocket change.

Pixel Hunter seems to hedge its bets by taking various aspects from other games in order to entice players from all generations of gaming into it’s blocky 2.5D world. Simple to play, there’s some initial fun to be had with the title before poor level design, frustrating controls and annoying enemies start to chip away at your patience.

An awesome looking game with some decent gameplay and puzzles.

The game can get incredibly challenging, but that only makes the experience even more rewarding. The game has a unique art style, that works really well. I would certainly recommend this game if you want something you can play for long sessions, or short bursts, and offers a challenge.

Perfect in quick bursts or when you have a few minutes to spare, you can jump straight in and within seconds the control scheme is in place, and the story becomes superfluous to what is just fun, solid arcade game.

Sunrider Academy has a lot of content and replay is pretty high. If you can steer clear of getting a bad end Sunrider Academy is a pretty good title.

Bastion is a beautiful adventure that feels so familiar like I‘ve played it all before; yet, somehow I was captivated by it from beginning to end.

Drift Streets Japan is a game brimming over with disappointment. From its PS2-era visuals and its inconsistent physics, to the complete lack of direction and/or rewards system, it offers nothing but unfulfilled potential.

Zotrix is a bit of a rough ride that turns to cinders under scrutiny.

A fun strategy game with a lot of gameplay hours, and a fun and colourful cast of characters. The story isn’t particularly deep, and neither is the gameplay, but the game’s charm still makes it well worth plugging the PS3 back in for.

A fantastic game and a must buy for any fan of the genre.

Arcade Archives: MAGMAX is a good game. It’s a well done port and I was happy to play it. But it’s just not worth paying $8 for.

The game is very fast paced, over the top and utterly relentless. The roster of characters is very good, and gives some very interesting gameplay options. The game uses a unique style, with fun gameplay and funny moments. It’s a game that is worth taking a look at, and will challenge you.

The game definitely lives up to it’s namesake, in that this is a game that is truly your own.

The battle system is clever and makes you think carefully about each attack and move you make. The story is very interesting and genuinely kept me entertained throughout. I liked the overall design of the worlds and characters and I would certainly recommend this game if you like old-fashioned JRPGs or a game that requires a bit of thought and patience.

Whether you’re looking to test your skills against this classic enemy or just relive some arcade action, Arcade Archives THE LEGEND OF KAGE does the trick about as well as any other from its era.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing really on offer here to make it stand out, but it’s a deftly made adventure nonetheless with sound mechanics that can’t be faulted on any fundamental level. Point-and-click junkies might love it, but newcomers should be commended if they manage to trudge their way through the woefully slow introduction to find a solid adventure on the other side.

The world is well thought out and designed. I enjoyed the puzzles, although tricky at times, and was always intrigued to find out where I was heading. If you fancy a game with a strong sense of style, unique controls and interesting puzzles then I recommend you give this game a go.

A fantastic game, one that’s criminally underrated and will go unnoticed or berated for its ‘awful’ visuals and gameplay. Whatever they may say, the game is a blast to play, and helped alleviate the tedium of the recent releases. Not every game has to have an amazing story, they just have to be a good and fun game.

The presentation of the game is what impressed me the most. GUILTY GEAR Xrd -SIGN- is simply stunning with awesome animations, vibrant colours and fluid movement.

Yakuza 5 is a fantastic late addition to the 2015 line up of RPGs, and deserves to stand with the others, such as The Witcher 3, or Fallout 4. If you’re already a Yakuza fan, then you already know how great this game is. But, if you’re new to the series Yakuza 5 is a fantastic way to start out. Please, play this game.

I admit I don’t Cosplay and never thought about it before but I enjoyed playing this game.

I have no problem saying that this is the best and most original sports game I have played since at least FIFA 12. It mixes all the best elements of sports and online multiplayer games into one in an affordable and seamless experience that looks awesome in YouTube videos as well.

A decent little game which I enjoyed playing through. The gameplay is simple, but requires some thought and consideration when taking on enemies. The game can get quite tricky at times, but I enjoyed the challenge.

It stands as a puzzle game that challenges you to K’Nex together your own brand of productivity while listening to wonderful audible treats. The aspects of fun and intrigue, unfortunately, don’t seem to come with this particular playset.

The core gameplay might well be extremely simple, but this is a deceptively deep experience, one that manages to effortlessly balance challenge and accessibility.

I give the game sh*t but truth be told I had a lot of fun with Zero Punctuation: Hatfall – Hatters Gonna Hat Edition because, luckily for me, I’m one of the already insane.

A game that hits you with it’s playful aesthetic and novel concept.

A fun game with a limited solo campaign. If you can get a few friends round or find them online then there is a lot of entertainment to be had but its let down by a lack of tracks in terms of number and length.

Zen Pinball has an amazing sense of physics for the most part, only let down by overactive bumpers.

A very impressive title from Codemasters. It’s great for hardcore rally enthusiasts but also offers a nice entry point for new gamers into this genre.

Gameplay, while fun in short bursts, gives way thanks to its own lack of walls into a side-bet over who killed the most helpless NPCs.

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter Remastered it’s an easy recommendation for nostalgic fans so long as they curb any lofty expectations of it being just as good as it was almost twenty years ago. Give this a try as a newcomer and you’ll be surprised to find a solid dino blasting relic that hasn’t quite defied the conventions of time, but is still fun nonetheless.

Despite its departure from Rainbow Six’s story driven roots, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege provides the means for an array of new multiplayer focused features ranging from unique weapon modifications, to several new specialists.

The presentation of the game again is spot on and stays true to the world of Minecraft.

With such a fantastical set-up, it works to Harvest December’s advantage that it makes good use of humour at its start, as trying to play the story as straight drama would have made it hard to connect with.

Overall 6180 The Moon is a decent game with a unique twist on platforming. The game is pretty short with little story. I enjoyed the style of the game the and sound design suits the game well. It’s not a game that’s going to blow you away, but it’s certainly a game that’s worth checking out if you want to play a platformer that offers something a little bit different.

This is a good game with plenty of challenge to keep you entertained.

Among the Sleep is a wonderfully dark game that touches on life as a child with a not-so-happy childhood.

The humour and brilliant design is still here, but the environments are a bit limited do to the fact it takes place underground.

There’s no real replayabilty to the game once you have finished. It would have been nice to have seen a bit more depth to the characters or the world in which Job exists. Playing the game felt a bit of a chore, and maybe that’s why the character is aptly named Job.

Despite its lack of visual impact, the game still looks nice enough to compliment the rock solid gameplay, where the traditional boss blasting formula feels as good as it ever has.

My biggest complaint to the CLANNAD visual novel is just how long it is. Having all the different routes and choices is great but it is also very time-consuming.

Overall this is a great first episode for the beloved franchise, and I’m sure that fans of the original game will be pleased it has been treated with such care.

Solid sound, excellent graphics for what it is, fair writing.

Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires is a stride in the right direction for the series. It adds layers of depth to the predictable combat and new features to expand gameplay. Unfortunately, it may not be enough to bring in new players or keep seasoned players interested. As a Vita port though, hack ‘n slash on the go compliments the handheld just fine.

With its poor pacing, flat, one-dimensional characters and story, and it’s potentially horrendous loot-based progress gating, Xenoblade Chronicles X may not be for everyone. Is it worth playing to get to the end game? In my opinion, absolutely. But, the ride is a frustrating one, filled with slow moments, and few, though grand, redeeming qualities. If you’re looking for awesome western-style gameplay in a giant and unique open world with deep character progression and a badass robot to play with, than look nowhere else. If you’re looking for a more traditional JRPG with a great, meaningful story, similar to previous entries into the Xeno- series, than you will most likely be disappointed in Xenoblade Chronicles X.

If you’re looking to scratch that hardcore platforming itch, and you’re a fan of Super Meat Boy, Yet Another World may be the game for you. Everyone else, however, will probably find only frustration and constant usage of the F-word.

The story and gameplay are both equally impressive, and the plethora of characters is astounding.

NHL 16 is probably the most inclusive NHL game to date. The on ice trainer will help new comers in a way that NHL has never done before, even someone like me who has been playing the game for a number of years seems to have improved, breaking bad habits like favoring the glove side or poor cycling of the puck in the offensive zone.

Shantae: Risky’s Revenge Director’s Cut is the best version of an already great game.

The game might get repetitive late game but I find it so relaxing and enjoyable I’m five maps in and determined to find all this glorious loot.

Although I don’t agree with the £15.99 price tag for a 3D rerelease of a game that’s older than me, Steel Empire for Nintendo 3DS is a good game that any fan of old school shoot ‘em ups is sure to enjoy.

Linear, vacuous and superfluous.

Neocore Games has made a game that is initially fun, once you get past the poor story and voice acting and awkward controls, but balancing issues and over-reliance on throwing hordes of enemies at its players turn the game into a slog in the second half.

Shin’en did a spectacular job creating a beautiful, fun high-speed racer that filled a huge void on Wii U.

An awesome collection of games in one package. They offer diverse modes, with tight controls and visual flair. The new challenges and unlockables offer something intriguing for those who have played the games before, while the new difficulty modes offer replayability and another layer of depth.

Despite its limitations and the somewhat painful sense of déjà vu that it will inevitably inspire in anyone familiar with Tennis in the Face, Baseball Riot nonetheless remains an entertaining, addictive and incredibly well made experience.

It brings me back to a time of simplicity and rejuvenates the tired soul after so many triple A ‘blockbusters’.

It’s a beautiful throwback to arcade games of bygone years. From its awesome combat, powerups to taking on massive bosses and visiting varied environments it’s a game that’s worth checking out.

Its high challenge and weird atmosphere make for a very fun, though occasionally frustrating, gaming experience.

If you love space and long to explore the cosmos from the comfort of your living room, Starpoint Gemini 2 is a gaming experience like no other.

Nothing about Aritana and the Harpy’s Feather is particularly bad, but then, nothing is all that great either. It’s relatively short on content, the boss battles are extremely repetitive and the control scheme, despite showing signs of potential, has not been successfully married to the games’ level design or physics.

Although feeling lifeless and stale, Entropy Rising is still a fun game. It was still fun solving the puzzles because they were designed well, with a level of wit to keep your synapses sparking. Entropy Rising is not a very long game, which is a good thing.

Miko Mole lacks thought, heart, and soul. A mobile game seemingly ported over to the PS4 with awful design through-and-through, I’m happy to delete the game from my harddrive and put my short time with it in the past.

If you really are into 2D platformers, then it’s a great game and you should definitely pick it up. But if you’re just looking for something to play at a good price, there’s many better options out there that will probably offer you something a bit more original. Solid game overall.

Overall, Rakoo & Friends is game full of vibrant colour, cute characters and nice animations, but unfortunately the gameplay is a bit repetitive and boring after a while.

All of the great things about the game, the music, the cutesy indie art design, the concept, and the humor…all overshadowed by a difficulty curve so steep that Lance Armstrong couldn’t bike up it if he was in his blood-doping addled prime.

The combat is average at best (and downright poor at worst), while the less said about the platforming sections the better. Nothing here is broken, (a case of damning with faint praise if ever there was one), but honestly, the sense of disappointment is often palpable given the overriding sense of this being a horribly missed opportunity.

A fantastic narrative experience condensed within an hour. The story tackles adulthood, disability, family obligation and depression and crafts them into a real, believable experience. Good luck driving home.

If there’s one thing I love more than an indie game it’s an indie game with depth and boy-oh-boy does Secret Ponchos have a truck-load of that.

Balancing ranged and melee combat is essential to survival in One More Dungeon, but you will also find yourself having to stave off boredom at times.

Corpse Party: Blood Drive definitely feels more like a survival horror RPG than the first one. Its twisted story and death scenes are something you either love or hate. I found myself enjoying the game right until the end I do not want to ruin the end but it didn’t really deliver all the promise it had. Still this may be the end of the Heavenly host series I am sure Dead patient will at some point refer back to the characters in this one and maybe the questions I still have at the end of the game will be answered in that.

The gameplay is addictive and incredibly well done but beware a lot of things can kill you, your own grenades and defective turrets, team members shooting you in the back on purpose or by mistake, even while waiting for the extract shuttle it landed on me leaving me as a red smear across the planet.

After a really strong start of fantastic gameplay and impressive environments the game falls into a pit of frustration and monotony that it never quite returns from.

The game for what it is a very charming and entertaining trip if you’re willing to go through some repetitive gameplay.

After a couple of hours creeping through the darkness looking for the my hundredth battery, and getting stuck to a desk and inexplicably paralysed just as the all-powerful red floating ball of death silently rounded the corner… I suddenly realised – this is crap.

Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends is a lot better than I expected it to be, but it still doesn’t offer quite as much depth or polish as Smash Brothers.

STARWHAL is a weird, quirky and vibrant game that looks great. Its fun to play with friends in short sessions, but unfortunately the gameplay quickly feels a bit hollow.

Whilst Cube Creator 3D isn’t exactly a terrible game, serving its purpose as a 3DS sandbox builder well, I just can’t recommend the game due to how limited it is. If, in the future, an update added more building materials then I would be able to recommend it, but in its current state then I’d warn against buying the game.

As a game, Zoombinis really doesn’t do enough to keep you interested. The puzzles can be challenging on the harder difficulties, but it’s really not an experience that you can get invested in.

You’ve played this game a thousand times before. It’s a run-and-gun platformer with pixel graphics and plinky-plonk music. But this is one of the purest, most addicting forms of that genre. It’s the best parts of Megaman and Contra distilled through the brain of a man who only wants to bring you joy, to make you feel that sepia-toned happiness you thought had ceased to exist. There’s a part of your heart that’s become calloused throughout the years, let Kero Blaster make it feel fresh again.

Onikira feels like it was designed by an overly controlling parent.

Dragon Fin Soup isn’t very good. If time was left to polish and optimize the game for each platform then it would have been actually decent, although more than a polish will be needed to fix the interface.

It’s still an extremely worthwhile game though and provides an entertaining, if harrowing, experience. But those damn PDA entries remain incredibly irritating to the extent that STASIS remains only ‘very good’ rather than excellent.

An open mind and a willingness to try something new is inevitably required, but for the relatively niche friendly Vita audience, this unique and consistently compelling experience shouldn’t prove a jump too far.

Although its characters aren’t as compelling as Jim Raynor or Tricia Helfer’s Queen of Blades, the story is no less incredible and the gameplay is as fun and rewarding as ever. Legacy of the Void is a fitting end to the Starcraft II trilogy and proves that splitting it into three games was definitely the correct decision.

I would highly recommend Knight Squad, it’s one of the best local-multiplayer games I’ve played in a long time and I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and complexity provided by the different game styles.

The puzzles and levels designs are interesting enough and I would recommend this game if you want to play something that’s not too long and easily accessible.

Ultimately, Broforce is a statement that games don’t have to be ultra-complicated or have award-winning stories in order to be enjoyed. They just have to be games.

The finale is not perfect. The same old combat mechanics favoured by TellTale Games are still there with no variation, but the increased stakes make you fight harder.

Do you like the series and want to play the 2016 edition? If so then I suggest you buy the Android/iOS version and yourself a few pounds. But if you’re really want it on the PS Vita and have the money, then go ahead! You will have enough content to keep you playing.

Criticism aside, the final-form of the game is still compelling, and I suspect that if it’s your cup of tea, then it’s one of the best brews to be had.

Its wide range of customization and endless flow of content make this a must for any petrol heads out there racing has never felt this realistic.
