    Wonder Boy Collection
    Featuring four of the best games in the franchise, Wonder Boy Collection is a solid set of retro titles that should satisfy fans and those looking to experience some classic Sega goodness. However, the decision to restrict a wealth of alternative console ports and some of the best games in the series to the physical edition only is a major sticking point. This makes the digital version harder to recommend. There is nothing wrong with the games you get here of course, but it does feel like a somewhat stingy package that diminishes an otherwise great reason to celebrate a classic franchise.

    Wavetale
    Wavetale certainly could've used some extra polish but the movement and storytelling shine strongly in a world that is mostly gorgeous to look at. Combat lacks any threat and the platforming can feel incredibly simple. There's not a lot of risks being taken which can result in a game that feels trivial. Despite this, there's more than enough to keep those curious onboard. I do find the personal tale to be engaging and it's nice to see an apocalypse look so bright and optimistic.

    Bear With Me: The Complete Collection
    If you like buddy cop point and click adventures, then Bear With Me: The Complete Collection makes for a good palette cleanser. It goes a bit overboard on the film Noir style but makes up for it with genuinely well-designed characterisation and locales that get better as you progress further into the episodes.

    Monster Truck Championship
    Monster Truck Championship might not be especially big or clever but the career mode does deliver some fun. There's some nuance to the handling and freestyle events make use of a great trick system. The presentation shows some bright spots with some colourful arenas but the personality really comes from some of the cosmetic options. It can feel a little short-lived but my time behind the wheel has been enjoyable.

    Shenmue III
    Shenmue III is finally here and it's a surreal experience, taking you back to the early 2000s. Fans of the series will feel right at home but its reluctance to change means it won't attract new fans. I'd have liked more plot progression than is here but hopefully this paves the way for the story to finally be finished.

    Pinball Heroes
    A twelve year old pinball simulation PSP game is an odd choice for a modern port but this collection of tables based on once-popular PlayStation franchises is actually fun to play.

    Vasara Collection
    As a museum piece, VASARA Collection is a really interesting release and one that is a real treat for shoot 'em up fans. However, a lot of people will find it repetitive, visually uninspiring and too hard without local co-op buddies to play with.

    Sackboy: A Big Adventure
    Despite being a game with consistent quality and performance, Sackboy: A Big Adventure can’t quite escape being run-of-the-mill when compared to its contemporaries. There is still plenty of that LittleBigPlanet charm to be found throughout this lengthy, platforming campaign though. It’s gorgeous to look at, it’s well-designed and the game feel is just right. However, if you are looking for some of that next-gen innovation on par with Astro’s latest, then you may struggle to find it here.

    Thumper
    Thumper has some great rhythm action to offer but the start setting and oppressive tone often makes it feel like what Rez might have been like if the Germans had won World War 2.

    Drop Duchy: Complete Edition
    Drop Duchy's mix of gameplay elements work together well but there's quite a steep learning curve if you want to really get everything out of the game.

    Electronauts
    Electronauts is a fun musical and visual tool that might be a bit much for beginners and not enough for experienced musicians.
    • 58 Metascore

    Sisters Royale: Five Sisters Under Fire
    Sisters Royale is a fine shoot 'em up that gets a lot right and is just a few decisions away from being great. It is easy to recommend for fans of the genre though, especially at this low price.

    Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy
    Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is certainly not straying far from the sharp puzzle design the series is known for. It is a very familiar experience that might wear thin. There's some clever ingenuity on display and I managed to be kept interested by it. Combat still remains an afterthought and it almost feels like an intrusion on the puzzle solving. Cooperative play offers the most fun is but the solo experience is still engaging. At times, pacing can waver but the overall package remains good.

    GNOG
    GNOG is an incredibly well presented VR experience with the audio and visuals combining perfectly. It’s easy to get into and enjoyable for the entirety of its short length, though it’s lacking a little in the gameplay department.

    Frontier Hunter: Erza's Wheel of Fortune
    Fortune Hunter: Erza's Wheel of Fortune can be quite cosy at times. The game doesn't lean so much on challenge and exploration can feel rewarding. Whilst it's not doing anything new or special, the ability to tinker with gear helps propel some individuality into the hectic combat. Movement and fighting feels good and, whilst the map is expansive, you can traverse it at a swift pace. Sometimes it's a visual treat and, despite the plot not grabbing me, there's enough in the gameplay to keep me interested.

    EVERYTHING
    Everything really isn’t for everyone. If it clicks with you, you’ll love experiencing it even if you don’t actually love playing it. As quirky, nerdy and pretentious as it gets but charming too, we’re really glad we gave Everything a chance.

    Sword and Fairy: Together Forever
    Sword and Fairy: Together Forever is a linear, cutscene heavy RPG so people's mileage may vary. I enjoyed the story and characters despite the clumsy translation and the action combat is decent if unremarkable. Importantly it runs well, with only the odd hiccup, which after the last game wasn't a given.

    BOULDER DASH 40th Anniversary
    While it may lack excitement and variety, what you get here is the ultimate Boulder Dash experience and if you're old enough for that to mean anything, this is a one-stop shop for fans of the series.

    Hook: Complete Edition
    Hook CE is a nice package comprising one hundred and sixty levels. The first game is definitely the weaker of the two and it shows in that this is very much a game of two halves. It's good though.

    Super Weekend Mode
    Interesting gameplay mechanics and cute retro styled graphics belie a fierce challenge. Sadly Super Weekend Mode is another easy Ratalaika platinum that deserves better than its probable fate of a one and done. A good game with trophies that let the side down.

    Disco Dodgeball Remix
    Disco Dodgeball Remix manages to add some longevity to a game that originally ran short on time. The player progression and the variety of modes help stave off potential boredom. The game's playful colour and style remains compelling after three years. Whilst the online does seem to be hampered by the urgency to get you playing, there's a lot to keep you occupied and it's mostly enjoyable.

    Dark Eclipse
    Dark Eclipse is a fairly simple strategy game that is improved by being in VR and the free to play aspects aren't too problematic either. This is worth checking out if you want to do something different to the usual space/horror/turret-shooter games on PSVR.

    Cookie Cutter
    Cookie Cutter is far from perfect but it's a slick and interesting example of a genre that is often presented in a lazy, retro style. There are issues but the game's strengths just about outweigh the negatives.

    Dino Frontier
    Dino Frontier offers another short but sweet experience for PSVR. It's a lot of fun to build your town but the lack of difficulty and content makes it feel like the first level of many when in fact it's the only level. One to look out for if the price drops.

    The Council - Episode 3: Ripples
    Ripples is a well done continuation of The Council storyline, just let down a little by some puzzling plot devices, one leap of logic in particular evoking genuine bafflement from us.

    Megadimension Neptunia VIIR
    Megadimension Neptunia VIIR offers the same story as the non-VR release from two years ago, but does make some gameplay changes on top of the addition of virtual reality segments. Only the biggest fans should double dip but this is still a good game for those who have yet to experience it.

    CYGNI: All Guns Blazing
    KeelWorks have done well to deliver such a polished entry into the shoot 'em up genre and we're pleased to see them focus on quality. That said, the game can feel a bit messy and complicated at times.
    • 75 Metascore

    The Council - Episode 4: Burning Bridges
    An almost overwhelming continuation of the episodic graphical adventure with RPG elements. Almost preposterous at times and yet we couldn't divert our gaze.

    Terminator: Resistance Enhanced
    Terminator: Resistance was a fairly average PS4 game that did enough with the license to appeal to us as fans. Playing through it again in 2021 has been enjoyable enough though and its old-school level design is actually pretty refreshing in this era of open-world titles. It's just a shame that the PS5 facelift and new DLC didn't add anything to the experience but if you want a reason to replay the game, this is it.

    Spelunker HD Deluxe
    Spelunker HD Deluxe brings an awful lot to the table. Using the blueprint of an old favourite, Tozai Games have delivered dozens of levels with some modern visuals. It does look smarter and a little sharper but the old challenge remains. It controls reasonably well but the memory-heavy nature of the levels will put some players off. With few options available to tweak difficulty or add lives, you're left with an authentic, if divisive experience. Multiplayer does allow you to bring friends along for the ride too.
