The interactivity and flow of the game make it so much more fun to play than you typical defense game that even non fans will find something to like here.

Provided you can get past the fan service, I think you’ll still really enjoy Dungeon Travelers 2 as an engaging, challenging take on the first-person dungeon crawling formula.

Had it been as balanced as its high points were, it'd be an easy recommendation, but as it is, it's great for a few hours a night to just wind down. Just don't expect to remember it when all's said and done.

Then again, as Actual Sunlight reminds players very early on, "This game is not a game: it's a portrait." To some extent, that feels like an easy out for the game, a way for it to suggest that its broader statement is more important than how that statement is conveyed, thereby rendering it immune to criticism. But at the same time…okay, sure, I'll buy that.

The Swindle is impossibly hard, to the point that only masochists need apply.

D4 plays quite well with a mouse, and is a much more accessible experience than its Kinect version, making this the most enjoyable way to play the adventure game. It also sucks for those expecting a PC port that will allow them to change essential settings, and in no way accommodates more than the Xbox One version would have offered.

All in all, I think Galak-Z was definitely worth the wait. It’s one of the most unique titles I’ve played on my PS4 this year, and certainly one of the most challenging.

It's important to realize that Everybody's Gone To The Rapture isn't exactly a game. Considering that its developers also made the equally non-game-like Dear Esther, this should come as no surprise. Rather, it's essential you think of it as a story that you just happen to be experiencing on your PS4. Otherwise, it will just seem like a walking simulator in a nicely-rendered English country village, and then you're just missing the point — and the beauty — of it all.

Still, when the game does such a fantastic job of creating a creepy atmosphere, complaining about the lack of people seems like it's missing the point. Like a great horror movie, everything in The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is there to leave you feeling unsettled and unsure of what's going on. Considering it nails that feeling and sustains it throughout, I'd say that counts as a pretty substantial success.

It's definitely a Westernized way of approaching the visual novel, but if you look at it just so, you can see how it might fit in that box.

Such gamers should absolutely adore Velocibox, since it wants nothing more than to kill you off again and again and again. If, however, you're the kind of person who wants to start off a game feeling like you have a ghost of a chance, then you're definitely not going to get that here.

Outside the large amount of space needed to install Rare Replay, the end result of this collection was remarkable and I hope other developers consider putting in the same care that Rare did.

The first episode shows a whole lot of promise, and I’m very curious to see how this adventure ends up.

Those people who missed out on it first time around, however, are in for a treat — a bloody, murderous, thoroughly enjoyable treat.

Pick it up, I guess, if you have love of this solitaire variation and unlimited DLC funds, but otherwise, don't even bother.

I'm sure that if you're willing to make the commitment, there's some kind of payoff, but considering the size of my backlog and the multitude of other JRPGs out there that aren't as dense, I can't say it's a commitment I'm willing to make.

There's plenty to do, a great mix between easy and very difficult shots, and solid visual effects. It's a creative table. It requires plenty of play before giving up the big scores, and the journey is a pleasure – can't ask for much more than that.

If you were a fan of the original, this is essentially the same game with redesigned graphics and textures. For newcomers willing to look past its shortcomings, Legend of Kay Anniversary is a fun and solid platformer at a great value.

Yes, it looks pretty nice at points, and yes, its (shamelessly borrowed) combat is executed very well. But the end result is that you're left wanting to consume the media it recalls, rather than feeling compelled to keep playing your way through the game.

From the moment the second level zips by, Squares makes it clear that you'd better have some insane reflexes right off the bat, or not bother playing. I'll take the latter - no matter how nice the game's aesthetics might be.

It may not be flashy or sexy, but on PS4 — as on everywhere else it's ever appeared — it's still outstanding.

Outside of that, this is another solid episode in the series, and I’m as interested in what comes next as I’ve ever been.

Between the spooky shadows at the edge of the screen, the creepy sounds that emanate from every darkened corner and bush, and — most importantly — the sinister soundtrack that's constantly, persistently moving forward, this game knows what it takes to leave you feeling seriously unsettled.

But NekoBuro – Catsblock not only makes the most of its incredible adorableness, it also provides a fun (if short) gaming experience to boot.

It’s absolutely rough around the edges, but there’s some fun to be had here.

In fact, I'd say that if that pop idol simulation thing appeals to you, you're better off just grabbing Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection for the Vita, indulging your inner J-Pop mogul's every whim there, and forgetting this game even exists. And if it doesn't? Then you may as well have a nap, because that would basically replicate the Omega Quintet experience.

We get a lot of Remasters and HD Remixes these days, but this is not one you should miss out on.

It’s a competent enough game of golf that I think it’s worth fooling around with for exhibition and career modes, but from a content perspective it really pales in comparison to previous offerings.
