To me Pneuma: Breath of Life felt more like a taster of what could have been a huge puzzle game. Not to say the game wasn’t a success, from what we can see the game works very well with new innovative puzzles – I just wish there could have been more!

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.

The gameplay in INFRA may be something you’ll never enjoy, but you’ll never know until you give it a try. It’s different, refreshing and original with good graphics and a great soundtrack. The pace depends on your patience for puzzle solving however, and you might find that there’s not much variation on that front.

Those that care about their Gamerscore/Achievements will be in for a treat, with many of the games 42 achievements, worth just 1 point.

A great game that may surprise fans of the previous game, but in a good way. The style and design of the world, characters and combat is fantastic. The turn-based combat is surprisingly fluid and fast-paced and there’s plenty of upgrades and variations to play with.

If you have a New 3DS, I really can’t recommend, Hyrule Warriors Legends enough; it’s gorgeous to look at, runs beautifully and is home to an absolute mountain of content. Yes, its still home to the same core Musou gameplay as always, but it has been refined to within an inch of its life here and the ability to swap between characters on the go really does add an exciting new element to the gameplay. Sadly, if you’ve got a bog standard 3DS/2DS then, well, perhaps you should give this a miss. The content is all there, but it runs poorly and doesn’t look nearly as good.

Etrian Mystery Dungeon isn’t a bad game, but it is a disappointing one. There are better JRPGs out there and unfortunately this one just left me wanting more.

Blackhole is a fantastic 2D platformer with some wickedly difficult puzzles.

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.

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.

The game still manages to have its own unique aspects and it feels well designed. I loved the freedom to explore, uncover and collect items throughout the various environments. The combat feels a little clumsy but I enjoyed the platforming and crafting mechanics.

The game has a very different pacing to modern shooters and that’s not a bad thing.

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.

This episode has a perfect balance of puzzle solving, decision-making and strong storytelling.

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.

A decent game. I wouldn’t really describe it as a particularly ‘good’ game in terms of it’s design or anything, which is probably just average, but it’s a really, really fun game and a really good time killer.

What no one can deny is that developers Super Icon have created an original piece that stands out from the crowd. With an endearing 80’s theme, killer soundtrack and considerable amount of modes, Vektor Wars seems like the perfect package. It even has an achievement system! That’s why I was so downhearted to find frame rate slowdown and sporadic bugs that freeze your movement.

The presentation of Punch Club is great, with 16-bit like graphics, nostalgic references and chip-tune soundtrack. The colour palette used is vibrant and suits the game perfectly. The story is a bit empty, but I really enjoyed the satisfying progression and management aspects. I would recommend this game, but don’t expect a fighting game. Its more a life simulator, with turn based fights.

Players who enjoyed the older grid-based adventure game will enjoy it for the strategy, environments and replayability. However, those who are new to the genre will find the graphics confusing, the tactics/strategy too complicated, and lack of user friendliness unhelpful as the tutorial ineffectively explains all the game with a series of text boxes.

Anomaly 1729 clearly had real talent and effort put into it. There is a really solid piece for the puzzle genre here. Some of the ideas, like the paced decoding of the language, are downright brilliant. The problem is that the level of technical polish is dismally low, and while none of that is really deal-breaking, the amount of sharp edges is rather trying for a 15$ game.

It’s a tad short on content and the gameplay does have a number of balance and technical issues, but despite these problems, Bullet Ballet is an enjoyable if ultimately short lived experience. Its low rent visuals certainly don’t help, but if you can enjoy it as an arcade-style curio, there is still quite a bit to like here.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
