If you've wondered what the video game equivalent of curling up with a cup of tea and a good book would be…well, here it is.

It's one of those games that just makes sense on a handheld, and it's a must-have for any Vita owners, whether they're tactical RPG buffs or not.

It’s not the sequel I expected, but it’s the one we deserve.

I unfortunately can’t really suggest anyone should pick up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan. As a pretty big fan of the franchise, and the old arcade hits, this game does little to capture the sense of fun in any way that actually matters. Instead you are left with a 3 hour game that feels longer for all the wrong reasons.

If you are hell bent on grabbing RE6, wait for a price drop. $20 is even too steep in my opinion.

If you were a fan of the original Dead Island games despite their shortcomings, they're worth a revisit. I never was able to play with the fifth character in either DI or Riptide so that's where my focus has been. Purchasing the physical collection gives you Retro Revenge, which makes this a decent value.

If you want some amazing online experience, I can't tell you whether Dreii provides it - but I can say without a doubt that if you're after a great solo game, Dreii absolutely delivers.

All in all, Overwatch continues to feel unique regardless of how much time you spend with it, and despite the low number of available modes to participate in. I’m genuinely impressed by what Blizzard has managed to do here, and I think you will be too.

But, hey, maybe you like being frustrated. If you do, then The Sun and Moon certainly has something for you, since it won't do much other than frustrate you. If you just want to experience something good, though, ditch the game and go for the soundtrack. You'll be glad you did.

And that, ultimately, is why Rocketbirds 2: Evolution doesn't come anywhere close to the heights its predecessor reached. It may have some of the same trappings, but when you get down to its core, it's nowhere near as fun.

Which speaks to Unepic's bigger problem: that, like many parodies, it ends up being exactly what it's trying to poke fun at. Add in a sense of humor that you're probably more likely to find annoying, and you can see why you might be better off looking for a Metroidvania fix elsewhere.

It’s such a blast to play, and I could easily see DOOM showing up on a number of top ten lists at the end of the year, just for the campaign alone.

I imagine that if you have fond memories of the Amiga game, playing this remade version will feel like checking in on an old friend after a few decades apart. If you don't have that nostalgia, though…let's just say you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.

I can't say my feelings towards Risk of Rain ever went beyond mere appreciation, though.

Whereas the developer's previous game, Demon Gaze, went pretty heavy on the fan service, Stranger of Sword City is a tale about death and the afterlife, and it has a sombre art style to match.

Sure Green Game: TimeSwapper looks nice — like Red Game, it makes the most of a two-tone color palette - but nice graphic design is no substitute for nice level design.

Of course, this leads back to the game's main problem, which is that building up your characters inherently means letting them live to see another dialogue sequence or cutscene — and the more you see of them in those sequences and cutscenes, the less you'll want to let them live. It's a dilemma with no real solution…apart from the obvious one, of not playing Ray Gigant unless you have a strong appetite for generic characters and you don't mind if their combat isn't that interesting, either.

Minor Gripes aside, Shadow Complex: Remastered is still a great game. Could it have used a couple gameplay changes and some new playable content? Absolutely, but it doesn’t ruin what was a great experience in 2009 and it is still a really fun game in 2016.

The beauty of Uncharted 4’s larger and more varied environments is that they lend themselves well to figuring out multiple solutions to tricky enemy engagements, using a combination of stealth and brute force, so there’s that kind of replayability that Naughty Dog is known for. Bumping up the difficulty to Hard or Crushing forces players to mix up their strategy since the enemies are that much more aggressive and deadly.

Like I said, it just is, and it exists to be a generic platformer, and there's no reason why you should care about it one way or another.

Battleborn really surprised and impressed me with how fun it is to play. I expected to be let down by another run of the mill shooter with some sort of gimmick tacked on, but that didn't happen here.

I’d highly suggest Alienation to just about any fan of action games, even more so if you enjoy the Diablo franchise or other, similar top-down shooters.

So you may want to take my criticisms with a heaping dose of salt. Just in case you don't, however, be aware that what lies ahead of you is going to be a rushed-yet-slow-moving experience.

In all of this, of course, I should emphasize that Letter Quest's core gameplay isn't all that bad. If you're like me, you'll get excessive amounts of joy out of playing a round or two and seeing all the crazy words you can come up with. It's easy enough to figure out, and the controls are a breeze.

A Boy and His Blob looks like a gently welcoming adventure, and when it's not precisely and nothing more than that, it's easy to get annoyed. While some people may have no problem reconciling the look with the gameplay, for me, unfortunately, the disconnect is just too much for me to overcome.

The sad part is that Nintendo nearly always nails the controls in their games, and it's disappointing to see them fail here. As such, while I did enjoy seeing the sights and blasting enemies to bits, Star Fox Zero is far from perfect.

Like I said, the combat was outstanding, and the world in which it takes place is gorgeous and vibrant. Not only that, as a Vita diehard, it pains me to give an exclusive for the system anything other than a rave review. But I have to be honest here — and the unfortunate truth is, as good as Severed may be, it's hard to shake the feeling that it could've been even better.

Whether you'll think it's worthwhile gameplay, of course, will depend on how much you can tolerate it the first time through to begin with, but if you've stuck with the Atelier series so far, Atelier Escha & Logy Plus will feel like a comfortably familiar.
