Dungeon Travelers 2 is simply one of the best JRPGs I’ve played in years.

Episode 3 has left me wanting more and I want to see what happens next.

Killer RTS gameplay, addicting creature building, and a few “wtf are those Eagles with Great White Shark heads swooping in and destroying my base!?!?!” moments.

Barring the too easy first half and around two dozen of the games 400 rooms being simple transition areas without puzzles or platforming, Lumo does what it set out to do with confidence.

It’s a real shame RIVE suffered technical issues, because if it didn’t, I would have loved this game and been willing to give it a high score. I just can’t score it high in its current state, it would be a disservice to you the reader, no matter how much I would love it if it hadn’t been for its issues.

My only complaint about the game is that it limits you to six colors, but that’s still five more than the board game. It is perfect in what it attempts to be and really that’s the only thing that matters in this particular case.

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

For what its worth Pixel Junk Monsters offers a great deal. From it’s mammoth sized single player mode to added challenges.

Although it was an enjoyable experience there were plenty of aspects that could have been more polished and with more to do, plus the constant similarities to XCOM only made me yearn for another playthrough of Firaxis’ offering.

The great art of Project Highrise is that you can foresee the needs of the people and their impact on your overall project. It’s great little sim game, and well worth picking up.

Sometimes the gameplay is a little too easy, but most times it is just right and I appreciate that. The story is good for one playthrough and is a fairly easy completion.

Overall, is STAR WARS Battlefront worth your time and hard-earned cash in the run up to Christmas? As a STAR WARS fan, definitely.

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.

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.

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

The characters are forgettable, the world is uninspired and the story is poorly told, but despite these issues, I enjoyed just about every minute of Kick & Fennick’s adventure.

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.

I just personally don’t find a dating simulator about Pigeons all that fun.

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.

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

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

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.

A standard fantasy quest that runs parallel to a just deep enough farming simulator. It takes it’s sweet time to get going, but both elements work in unison to make a reasonable 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.

With more intelligent and varied AI, and a combat system that didn’t effectively screw over anyone wanting something just a little more accessible (sadly a trait shared with many games attempting to be ‘hardcore’, especially the retro-styled ones), this could have been a genuine classic instead of a missed opportunity.

It’s not a long game; even if you select the longest campaign length of 52 weeks, it shouldn’t take much longer than an hour or so each time. But it’s fun while it lasts and has pretty much infinite replayability.

With all the hype of last years news that this game was being made, I was sadly disappointed in how it turned out in the end.

I did enjoy my time playing it – there’s a pleasant satisfaction to building up your factory and slowly perfecting your latest wonder-drug (before giving it a deliberately silly name) but I was always faintly aware there wasn’t too much else to look forward to in the game.
