The whole thing just didn’t work on PS4 and I did not want to carry on playing after half way through the first level/day. If you really want to try out Randal’s Monday go right ahead, but play it on PC and don’t waste your money on the console version.

The almost total lack of direction in a game filled with backtracking and extended travel, is ultimately the game’s downfall.

Despite dying multiple times and encountering some of the dumbest bad-luck possible, I can’t help but go back to play again and again in the hopes that maybe I can get just one town further before I’m mowed down or eaten in that cruel, cruel world.

The story, having been laid out so well in the first episode, does start to pick up momentum here, and some of your earlier choices do begin to have an impact, but many of the problems that were apparent in the first episode still remain.

The visual design and gameplay mechanics are simple, easy to pick up but still offer some challenging moments.

The game draws you in and doesn’t let you go and I’m glad with all the hype around all the latest AAA releases its nice to go back to simpler times and play a game that isn’t all about a short story that can be completed within 20 hours of game play you have to simple objectives that stay the same, find the teleporter and stay alive as you go running through the levels looking for something that you swear isn’t there until you find it tucked away in a little corner of the level.

Templar Battleforce is a really excellent example of the tactical RPG. It is not for everyone, as it is unforgiving and sometimes unintuitive, but it delivers what was promised; an engrossing struggle to purge the aliens, with a large amount of mechanical variety.

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.

Zombies on a plane offers nothing new or innovative for the zombie survival genre. With mediocre gameplay riddled with a variety of bugs and game crashes; Players will be left struggling to justify the steep buying price for a game that feels broken and offers no replayability beyond the first hour or two.

Arcade Archives: TwinBee is fun. It’s good old classic shooting with no drama, in true arcade style. Probably one of the better Arcade Archives titles I’ve played so far, but by no means the best one. Great for collectors but I say hold out for a price drop before grabbing this one.

I score this game 8/10 and if I only had VR to allow its full potential it would probably score higher. I hope a lot more indie games give an option to play in virtual reality as that would give them a massive edge in the next era of gaming.

What you get here is a puzzle game with a difference, and that in itself is to be commended in an age of Portal and Minecraft clones. It’s just a shame that the execution isn’t much better, when the game backs itself into a corner with its own story premise and confines itself to boring environments and dull characters for an experience that sometimes feels as painful as some of the deaths onscreen.

With a steep difficulty curve from instant play, Super Robo Mouse can easily put off players not use to the challenge. No variety of music, mid-game pause function and general lack of sounds is dampening, still with 20 levels across 3 worlds including creative mechanical bosses and the cheap entry point you get a reasonable amount of content. For those that relish such demanding gameplay, this fits the bill exquisitely.

You’ll be hard-pressed not to thoroughly enjoy yourself here. Runner 2 Future Legend of Rhythm Alien is an absolutely wonderful game.

The battles can be fun and reminded me of the old school Mortal Kombat game. What I didn’t love was that if you die you have to redo the entire battle all over again.

This game is fun, yes, for a while in single mode. It can be enjoyed for longer in co-op, but I still would not say it would have your attention for a long time. I feel like after maybe 10 times playing it with someone, it becomes forgettable and you would delete it to make space in your library. For a retro gamer, it is nice to put this game on and think back to playing it at the arcade, but otherwise, this game is essentially here for a good time, not a long time.

The visual style is a little generic but there’s no denying the quality of the character art and the level of detail within the world.

I would highly recommend Steredenn to both fans of the genre and newcomers alike. Yes, like any game it isn’t perfect and could be improved on in a number of ways, such as the bosses aesthetics and rewards system. However, it ‘s tight gameplay and addictive nature kept me coming back for more time and time again.

In conclusion, Endless Legend Shifters offers an enormous amount of play-time, replayability and additional content.

With its unique aesthetic, welded to a speed-runner style blueprint, I can totally see the allure of Lovely Planet. Unfortunately, my memories of Lovely Planet are mostly frustrating ones: cheap enemies, bland shooting and floaty controls really drag Lovely Planet down. The ingredients for a great shooter maybe there somewhere in Lovely Planet, but like the cheap, nasty enemies that the game throws at you, they seem to be hidden behind a wall somewhere, completely out of sight. It is cute, though. I’ll give it that.

It didn’t do much in terms of being unique, but it did have a very interesting and intense narrative. The only thing that irritated me was the loading problem, but it didn’t affect my enjoyment of the overall episode.

Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek is a great addition to the hidden objects puzzle solving genre and one that we’ll be playing for a long time.

A very deep game that has so much to offer to those who enjoy the strategic and managerial part of baseball. If you have always wondered what it would be like to control a baseball franchise you will absolutely love this game. If you have ever dreamt of having the greatest teams from different eras play against each other you will be able to live out those dreams.

Day of The Tentacle is an absolutely fantastic game. There’s a reason I avoided talking too much about the story or puzzles. You, absolutely all of you, deserve to experience it on your own. Perhaps the Vita version isn’t exactly the best way to go, but it’s certainly a fine way to choose if you do so. For 15 bucks, there’s zero reason anyone should pass up the chance to play this well-aged piece of gaming history.

It is not very remarkable in any way. It is fun to play but do not expect anything very unique.

The Age of Decadence is worth every penny.

With a few tweaks, Lovely Planet could be fantastic on WiiU, perfect for bite-sized gaming. Unfortunately it veers a little too hard into the difficult a little too quickly and ends up as more of a ‘hardcore’ game as a result. Nothing wrong with that of course, except that it feels like it may not have been the developer’s intent. Instead of a fantastic game, it’s simply a good one.

It’s a game that excels at not only being a great action-RPG, but a memorable pulp-narrative experience and because of this, it’s very hard not to recommend Stories: The Path of Destinies to anyone but the most curmudgeonly and cantankerous.
