The sad truth about Cruz Brothers is that we've played far superior games in this genre that were made over thirty years ago.

An impressively realised branching adventure game where your choices carry genuine weight. The first episode of The Council is well worth playing and we look forward to subsequent episodes.

Perhaps the most manic twin-stick shooters on the system, Tesla vs Lovecraft is bold, interesting and lots of fun to play.

Hex Tunnel is an unoriginal idea barely executed and then utterly ruined by some of the worst graphics we've seen in the last three generations of gaming.

Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms finishes the story started in Kyoto Winds. There are plenty of characters to fall for, though each individual story is shorter than average. The pace feels a little rushed and Chizuru feels like passenger a lot of the time but if you're already invested then you'll want to see how things turn out.

Drunkn Bar Fight is a very silly game that barely holds together as you swing punches, stools and beer bottles at bar patrons. It's these unexpected moments that make the game fun however, especially if you have other people to play with locally. There's not a huge amount of content though and the joke struggles to hold your attention for too long.

Knowing parody of classic side scrolling brawlers. The joke wears a little thin after a while unfortunately. Something of a stiff challenge that might deter all but the most masochistic gamers.

Scribblenauts: Showdown is great fun and sure to amuse you and the younger members of your household. This is how you make learning fun. Recommended.

Detention weaves a fantastic story and wraps it in intriguing aesthetics. The historical setting provide a unique and interesting backdrop and the mix of Asian influences bolster a compelling experience. Whilst there's very little dread, the narrative and the pace at which it's delivered give you plenty of reasons to stay absorbed. This is a well-crafted package that remains memorable, despite a short runtime.

There are moments where this game hits it stride as you ride in concentrated silence. Clean laps and new records are accompanied with a great sense of satisfaction. It's a pity the riding model and animation contain some omissions that limit your ability to read the bike under you. The environments are greatly detailed and the sensation of speed is fantastic. I wish this felt more comprehensive as a package and the AI was smarter but there's an enjoyable core to TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge.

Metal Gear Survive replaces the personality and heart of the Metal Gear franchise with plate spinning survival mechanics and a story that simply does not excite. There are some serviceable moments to find within the game, however the sense of tedium unfortunately overpowers the whole experience.

Midnight Deluxe is a relaxed puzzle game that doesn't demand too much of the player but offers an enjoyable challenge.

VRFC does a okay job of representing football in VR. The lack of single player, for now, is disappointing but running down the pitch with the ball at your feet and the goalmouth in your sights is thrilling. It's the infancy of VR itself that stops this becoming a true football experience but there is still fun to be had if you can find a game.

Blasters of the Universe asks you to weave your head through a barrage of bullets. It works great on a technical level and the gun customisation is a strong point, but at only four levels it's over too quickly and despite being 'bullet hell' it doesn't feel too different to what you've probably played already.

With two good tables and one that we really don't like, this collection of Jurassic Park themed tables represents fairly decent value for money for Pinball FX 3 fans.

Immortal Redneck offers plenty of shooting and upgrading based fun that will appeal to fans of rogue-like titles. However, progress feels like it comes from putting in the time rather than improving your actual skills.

SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell is a well executed platformer with a heavy emphasis on speed and player skill. It has some devious moments but I can't deny the feeling of self-improvement is a gratifying one. Its simple and functional hellscape might bore with time but there is a tricky challenge within the many levels for players to endure and enjoy.

GRAVEL is a refreshing arcade racer that delivers a fun handling model within a package that can't visually hold up. If you can look past that, there's some charm with the cheesy presentation, reckless AI and surreal crash physics. It's a budget title that sadly carries a full price but there's a level of creativity here that makes it stand out from Milestone's licensed work.

Symmetry is a challenging survival game. The gameplay is one-note and never changes or evolves but the struggle to finally escape can become addictive.

Defenders of Ekron may not be the most exciting shoot 'em up on PSN but its thoughtful take on the genre definitely works. Unfortunately, technical issues with the game really spoil the party.

The Station is an atmospheric mystery adventure set on a space station. However, the game is disappointingly slight and over just as it starts to get interesting.

There's a simplicity and rhythm to Tiles which makes it an enjoyable, cheap puzzle experience. The reliance on the player's dexterity can lead to some frustration but not at the game's expense. Whilst the challenge does ramp up, the swiftness that new mechanics are introduced leave the majority of the game's levels feeling increasingly stale. A lot of the early momentum starts to dissipate and, whilst the level creator helps foster a community and longevity, I'm feeling a little worn out.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is rough around the edges but offers an adventure worth taking for those who prefer a more realistic, slower pace to their open world RPG.

If you can handle a challenge, Deadbolt's mix of stealth, shooting and strategy is well worth checking out.

A wonderfully atmospheric 3D platformer that you need to play right now. Go on, jump to it.

Pop-up Pilgrims may not be the best showcase of VR technology but there is no doubt that the aesthetic style benefits from the perspective. It is not only gorgeous to look at, but beneath the graphics is a simple yet genuinely inventive game with some great ideas.

Schacht's cold presentation and inconsistent levels conspire to spoil what is an otherwise technically solid game but is sure to be a favourite for those players who master its mix of platform jumping and racing action.

Xenon Valkyrie+ makes its way to PS4 with little in the way of changes. What you do get is an enjoyable 2D rogue-lite that's not overly reliant on luck which ensures that as long as you're paying attention you'll get used to the loose controls and make progress.
