By modern standards, casual players will find Maldita Castilla EX a difficult game to progress through. It’s by no means unfair, but it can be frustrating to have to continue again and again from the same screen while you try to figure out a particular enemies attack pattern, or a certain platforming rhythm. The game is old school through and through, and makes no apologies for providing an experience on par with the classic Capcom platformers of yesteryear. More importantly, with varied levels and tight mechanics, it’s just great fun to play.

There was a decent amount of enemies, nothing in the vein of Smash TV, with its ridiculous amount of enemies on screen in a bullet hell scenario, but it does a respectable job of what it’s got.

The presentation is once again very good, with an interesting cast a lovable characters, a different style of story and new world to visit. The style of the game still has plenty of video game references and the humour is always fitting to the Minecraft franchise.

At the price of £15.99, I would suggest that you wait for a sale if you really want it that badly in your collection. As it stands, there are far better games out there worthy of your money.

Bomb Jack is not a bad game and this is an excellent port. But it’s certainly not worth what HAMSTER is charging for it. It’s definitely fun a few times but ultimately I wouldn’t pay more than a few dollars for this small amount of gameplay.

It has visually interesting tricks and stunts, but that’s about as close as it gets to being a good arcade racer. Only a select few of the maps were interesting and the gameplay was frustrating at the best of times.

I really wanted to like this game, the game mechanics, at least in theory, seem sound, the visual style is interesting, and running across walls is almost always fun in any game. However, Rising Islands is far too unpolished to be considered picking up. The movement is fluid as heck when it works, but far too often it is let down by unresponsive controls and a wayward camera.

The game has decent gameplay and few funny lines from a few characters while there are just as many feel good moments. I wish I could say that the gameplay more than makes up for these moments, but really the gameplay is mediocre and fairly forgettable.

Overall EXZEAL is a challenging space shooter that has responsive controls, is fun to play and has local co-op multiplayer. The game looks dated and may not pack the punch of modern shooters but its still very enjoyable.

I like Boom Ball, despite the issues with the left hand control. It did make it annoying when trying to grab that gold medal. But it’s not the most important life goal. Nice to get them, but not the end of the world. Either way, I will at least attempt to get all 55 levels complete.

All in all, Snooker Nation Championship is looking like a worthy sports sim for both seasoned players and newbies alike. We’re looking forward to getting our hands on the finished product.

Using intelligent AR, straightforward controls and that uncontrollable itch to “Catch ’em all”, Niantic have got the building blocks to something really special. To keep this momentum going fresh updates and major improvements to servers are crucial.

With it’s cool customisable options, its solid core gameplay and its clever use of time, just about anyone with an interest in the genre should find something to like here.

Despite its dated mechanics and lack of new content, new players will certainly find a lot to love in this grand adventure.

A disappointing package. Taken on its own merits, playing the game is a bland exercise in mediocrity. Fun, but fleeting.

It was a pleasant surprise to find out just how much fun this game really is, it’s a fantastically refreshing take of the classics Lemmings formula and for its current price of £9.99 it is definitely worth every penny.

The game does do a good job of making you want to try just one more run and tip-toe just a little bit further than before.

This latest game has some good ideas and I do love a good twin-stick shooter but unfortunately this game falls short and the gameplay becomes stake very quickly. The game looks great and runs well but doesn’t manage to capture the essence of what make the franchise so enjoyable. If the game had more depth, deeper story and meaningful gameplay it could have been so much better.

While it isn’t the best story in the genre, and it isn’t the best story-driven game out there, it is interesting enough to keep players engaged for the time it takes to finish.

The graphics of FRU are gorgeous, with no visible issues with the silhouette on screen causing any difficulty moving between the two worlds.

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

The puzzles here are well done and keep you on your toes, with a steady flow of new gameplay mechanics throughout.

A solid little title and a fun way to kill an hour or two.

I loved Type:Rider and I’m not sure if the reason for this is my utter nerdiness when it comes to learning about the English language. However, no matter your interest in learning about fonts, this is a fun and peaceful game that is great for sitting back and relaxing while still playing your PS4. Type:Rider is one of the best puzzle games I’ve played this year and I can’t wait to get back to it.

Overall, there may be a surprising amount of content to unlock, but the gameplay just isn’t diverse enough to really hold a player’s attention for long. It’s a game that would perhaps be enjoyed more thoroughly by younger players, but for the rest of the gaming community, Catlateral Damage is one that’s probably better off played in short bursts.

Ninja Pizza Girl is a fun 2D platforming game with smooth parkour and meaningful narrative.

With it’s fast, responsive, and rewarding gameplay, 10 Second Ninja X will keep fans of this type of game busy for a few hours. If it weren’t for two things, I would give the game a perfect score. But sadly, while I was playing, my retries were plagued with an obnoxious glitch that caused my character to shake violently and force me to retry again.

I really appreciate Neverwinter for what it is: a fun, easy-to-pick-up MMO that takes your hand and shows you the incredible and vast landscape of a genre I’ve been afraid to take my first proper steps into. If you can gather a few friends to create your own guild with, this could well be an action-MMORPG to really get lost in.
