    DOOM 64
    While the original release in 1997 didn't quite live up to the 'classic' status that the Doom franchise is renowned for, the creative sparks that made it a unique entry are still very prevalent to this day. This is helped by a miraculous port that renovates the visuals, controls and speed of the ageing N64 edition. The only thing that Bethesda or Id Software couldn't help, is that the game is quite frustrating at times. Doom 64 is still one to play, if not just for the sake of more Doom, but also because it remains a true continuation to the series that make a commendable attempt at pushing the series into horror.

    Ashes Cricket
    Big Ant have managed to enhance last year's effort with some official licensing and, whilst the presentation feels familiar, the player animations look improved and authentic. Fielding remains something of a worry but the batting and bowling experience remains thoroughly engaging and satisfying to succeed at.

    Parcel Corps
    Parcel Corps is a fun throwback to Sega’s Dreamcast days of yore, being a hybrid with the feel of both Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi. It doesn’t lend itself particularly well to extended play sessions though. It is generally engaging enough and a fun playground to mess around in.

    Nobody Saves the World
    Nobody Saves the World is a fun time with a great transformation mechanic. You're constantly making progress, with bars going up and things unlocking but as enjoyable as that can be it does get repetitive. Two player co-op is nice but some other gameplay wrinkles could have really helped to distract from what is ultimately a to-do list.

    Guns'n'Stories: Bulletproof VR
    Guns 'n' Stories: Bulletproof is an enjoyable PSVR wave shooter that offers humour and chaos in equal measure and that sets it apart from the dozens of slightly similar games that are out there on PSN. Superhot VR remains the best the genre has to offer but this is in a respectable second place position.

    Raw Data
    Raw Data offers more than your usual shooting gallery VR game. The ability to move around makes the game feel far more substantial, with the four different characters and their abilities offering plenty of gameplay nuance. The lack of enemy and location variety is a shame, as are the technical limitations brought on by the hardware but if you're a fan of shooting stuff in VR then it's definitely worth checking out.

    Q-YO Blaster
    Q-YO Blaster is a low-budget shoot 'em up in the classic style that brings Parodius-style visuals to the party but could use a bit of refining in the gameplay department. It's fun and gloriously silly though and worth checking out for some cheap arcade thrills.

    Ninjin: Clash of Carrots
    Ninjin: Clash of Carrots is a superb looking game that has an initially fun gameplay loop with the mixture of bullet hell mechanics and scrolling beat-em-ups. Unfortunately, the cracks appear when you hit the midway point and realise that there are no more tricks left and all that is left is repetition and unspent potential.

    Hindsight 20/20: Wrath of the Raakshasa
    The promise of hack and slash action and real moral choices is an enticing one but Hindsight's combat is a little bit clumsy and the game's sub-par graphics do let it down. The moral choices are kind of interesting though and give the game an added layer of interest and a sense that the game was created with love.

    Sociable Soccer 25
    Sociable Soccer '25 can be a lot of fun and we really are enjoying playing it. But compared to the original Sensible World of Soccer this feels like when they take your favourite childhood film and remake it for modern audiences. We don't want all this extra faff when just having a regular transfer market and a normal league structure would have been so much better.

    Space Elite Force 2 in 1
    Space Elite Force 2 in 1 offers up two basic shooters with some nice upgrade mechanics and clean retro presentation but it's easy to the point of being trivial.

    Papa's Quiz
    Papa's Quiz uses Jackbox-style technology to offer up some solid quiz gameplay. The stiffness of voice acting hurts the atmosphere though and ultimately the game is a bit too dry to really succeed as a party game.

    Drug Dealer Simulator
    Drug Dealer Simulator is surprisingly interesting take on the licit substance machine. It's a repetitive treadmill that takes place in an ugly and empty city. It makes a rotten first impression with its humour but it does abate to reveal a weirdly considered experience. I do think it wears out its welcome but it has left an impression on me. It feels like a rough draft of something more refined. Hopefully the sequel can provide that.

    Phantom Spark
    To be honest, Phantom Spark does well to provide the tools to achieve perfection. The racing controls precisely how I'd want it and the track locations echo the zen-like sensibilities the writing wants to promote. It has a clear vision and executes on it. Unfortunately, it feels lacking in content. The main levels go by quickly and, as someone not desperate to climb leaderboards, there was very little reason for me to return. It's worth checking out if you're up for the post-game self-improvement, but I was hoping for more levels to conquer.

    Beholder: Complete Edition
    Beholder: Complete Edition initially impresses with its strong style and theme. The challenge and multiple choices, although welcome, require you to repeat the same actions to get to those interesting moments and if you want to succeed the game forces your hand to play a certain way. A great concept that stutters slightly on the execution.

    Buildings Have Feelings Too!
    Buildings Have Feelings Too! is a bit of a misnomer, this is more Urban Regeneration Simulator, but that’s not quite so snappy. Hamstrung by not explaining its more complex mechanics that well before burying them in a sub-menu, this feels like it needs a little more polish to be a success.

    Carmen Sandiego
    Carmen Sandiego is at once a tie-in to Netflix’s recent series as well as a throwback to Broderbund’s 1985 classic edutainment title. It doesn’t quite know who its aimed at though, whether it be current kids or their parents. Some minigames are fun, others are turgid. It’s best left to shorter play sessions anyway. We just fear it won’t do quite as well outside of America as the brand doesn’t quite hold the same cache on this side of the Atlantic.

    Treadnauts
    If you've got three mates who have an appreciation for this kind of arcade party game, and they don't mind coming over to yours, then this tank-based arena shooter might keep you all busy for an hour or so. But if they just want to play FIFA then you won't get a whole lot of single-player fun out of Treadnauts.

    Loading Human: Chapter 1
    Take away the VR compatibility and Loading Human would be sailing somewhere under a five in the scoring but Untold Games have entirely embraced the tech with this game and while the gameplay falters occasionally, the story and the setting carry it through. Loading Human has a lot of potential, lets hope the later chapters build on what’s here.

    Fighting Force Collection
    Fighting Force is still fun, in a dated and clunky kind of way. Fighting Force 2 is still awful, in every way.

    MX vs. ATV All Out
    Rainbow are back in the saddle and there's signs they are a little out of practice. There's nostalgic decisions at play which don't always work out in 2018 but can still raise a smile. Modes are what you'd expect and the visuals look occasionally impressive but the game struggles to keep things steady on the Playstation 4. The novelty of cross-vehicle madness still has hooks and races provide fantastical, open racing. Unfortunately, you'll have to overlook the ever-present performance issues.

    Greak: Memories of Azur
    Greak: Memories of Azur is a solid puzzle platformer that is broken by the save system and crappy inventory management. We hope you like replaying sections over and again as you'll be well catered for.

    Nefarious
    Despite the shortcomings in Nefarious' platforming and combat, there's a great likeability to its tone and writing. The controls aren't particularly precise and you'll need some character upgrades just to tolerate some of the harder challenges. If you have the patience, there's an interesting experience with plenty of charm here.

    More Dark
    More Dark is a tight little puzzler that lacks some punch. Mechanically, it's interesting and really lets you use the most of your tools at the climax. Unfortunately, the presentation is basic and doesn't draw much inspiration. It's a short experience and whilst there are secrets to find, I struggle to find an incentive to do it. If you're in for a decent, short effort to stretch your grey matter, it's alright but it won't live long in the memory.

    Super Life of Pixel
    Super Life of Pixel may be another retro indie platformer, but it does have heart. It presents a cool recreation of some classic graphical styles from yesteryear gaming platforms, with some slick chiptune audio to go with it. Sadly, the gameplay doesn't quite match up to the presentation. Despite this, there is still plenty to enjoy if you fancy a trip down memory lane, just expect a challenge if you do pick this one up.

    Daymare: 1998
    Daymare 1998 wears its influence firmly and proudly. It's a decision that stifles creativity and invention when it comes to enemy and environmental design. Whilst a poor imitation in terms of quality and polish, there's some charm to this. The voice acting and writing have an appropriately goofy tone whilst the combat is competent. It feels too linear for my liking but the inventory management has some interesting quirks.

    A Summer with the Shiba Inu
    A Summer with the Shiba Inu has a narrative that shows some early promise. Sadly the main mystery is sidelined for some more focused character work. It's welcome but it makes the ending feel presented without much effort to earn a conclusion. It's written well enough although I found the dog puns insufferable and Syd's accomplices are all very accommodating. It does feature some strong art and the portraits convey a great degree of charm and character. Sadly, the genre does struggle to show action and this game takes ample opportunity to imply dog on dog violence. It's clumsy but there's things to enjoy from this.

    Guns N' Runs
    Runs N' Guns is a playable but frustrating platformer which feels a little lacking when it comes to the running and gunning side of things but it does a reasonable job of feeling like a game from the '90s, for better and worse.

    SportsBarVR
    As a pool game, Sports Bar VR nails it. It’s as close to the real thing as you can get without leaving your house. The other modes are variable though and while the setting is quite nice in VR, the package is a little thin right now. However, it gives you more than Hustle Kings VR but maybe less than you might have expected overall.

    Busway Islands - Puzzle
    Busway Islands – Puzzle is a minimalist puzzle game with no frills and a mere thirty-five levels for your £3.99. It’s OK, but can be a bit boring on occasion. At least you can save your progress on those levels where you might get stuck and resume later.
