    Subject 13 lacks polish but might just scratch that itch if you’re looking for a puzzler that feels like it’s from the past. A lack of hand holding will be welcomed and cursed in equal measure but if you’re intrigued the price point is right to make it a relatively risk free purchase.

    Air Race Speed is a tight little arcade racer with a simple premise executed exceptionally well. The one more go nature of the game makes this ideally suited to the Vita and can easily keep you playing for hours at a time. It offers a decent level of challenge and a lot of content for the cheap price point. You need to own this game if you have a Vita.

    XPOSED isn’t much more complex or complicated than its spiritual grandaddy, the mighty Qix. Thankfully, it doesn’t need to be. It just offers some old-school arcade action that has the power to frustrate you but never pushes it too far.

    An odd hybrid of racer and vehicular combat which never quite hits the mark in either category. While there is some chaotic fun to be had in multiplayer the single player ends up becoming a little samey.

    This stylish arcade racer ultimately lives and dies by its chosen gimmick. Whilst the events are swift and repeatable, the reliability of the AI ensures moments of success coated in frustration. The track editor should help foster a creative community and some modes work better than others but the core of this results in such a mixed experience.

    Little has changed between the previous generation and now. UMVC3 returns in a warts and all package that provides all of the characters, special moves and matchups that keep the series being as chaotic and fun as ever. Fans of the series will be right at home of course, particularly those that circumvent the drama of long distance by duking it out on the sofa. However if you weren’t interested in the series before then this release will do little to change that, Newcomers may want to wait for the fresh unplundered Marvel Vs Capcom: Infinite.

    The Little Acre has great art design and voice acting. The actual story though feels under-developed and rushed, and for a point and click adventure this is very disappointing.

    As purely motion control games with a lot of movement go, HoloBall is one of the best out there. It is a small and focused title that offers fluid and fun gameplay while maintaining the retro feel of classic arcade high score addictiveness. If you have the room and don’t mind being on your feet then HoloBall is a brilliantly bite sized package with an impressive sense of scale.

    Bridge Constructor is a straight-forward puzzle game that offers a good challenge for anyone looking to exercise some mental muscle.

    Final Fantasy XV is a great open world game. The combat has its flaws and the final few chapters are upsettingly poor but that didn’t stop me having tens of hours of fun exploring and ticking off side quests.

    An excellent distillation of the Lara Croft experience. With some charming puzzles and great use of the environment, this is a great puzzle game. Whilst the VITA version suffers with long losing times, this isn’t an issue on the PS4.

    A game lacking both fun and enjoyment. It’s a buggy mess full of clipping issues, repetitive gameplay and ugly art design. Space Overlords is a poor game and one to avoid.

    Aqua Moto Racing Utopia is a decent arcade racer that with a little push could have been very memorable. As it is every element is a little too tame making it a lot harder to recommend.

    Mother Russia Bleeds does a great job of bringing the beat ’em up genre to modern consoles. It suffers from the old fashioned problem of repetition as these games always do but, if you can stomach the violence, it gets a lot right in terms of enemy and location variety.

    How We Soar doesn't score highly for gameplay but as a PSVR experience, it is one that owners of the hardware shouldn't miss out on.

    Rolling Bob’s biggest selling point is the way it uses the gyroscope in the DualShock 4 to create a unique control method. Unfortunately this control method just doesn’t work and actively frustrates the gameplay. Couple this with bland art style and some examples of badly translated text and you have a game which is best ignored.

    NASCAR Fire Evolution winds up being a very enjoyable blitz through the often scoffed world of saloon car racing. Whilst it does keep things simple and rarely strays into a simulation, I’m kept engrossed with a solid driving engine and enough modes to keep casual and die-hard fans satisfied.

    While no-one will be thrilled about having to buy their favourite tables again, the combination of Zen's excellent pinball know-how and VR is a winning one.

    Whilst The Dwarves has an enjoyable, well presented story, the RPG it tries to present has limited character-building and uneven combat. It’s not deep or robust enough for me to truly endorse. Those that persevere might find a tale worth seeing but be prepared to suffer against a troublesome camera and some worrying technical stutters.

    Crystal Rift on PSVR is about as basic as it gets. The low fidelity visuals, questionable soundtrack and asset choices tarnish what could have been a decent dungeon crawler. Without the VR headset it is even less enjoyable due to poor viewing angles and stiff movement. This just makes Crystal Rift very hard to recommend, even at its lower price point.

    Stranded A Mars Adventure is a 2D platformer which relies on inertia and momentum to make some tricky levels. Whilst the retro stylings have been done a million times before it’s the excellent music which makes this game stand out from the crowd.

    A by the numbers tower defence game which only stands out on the PS4 due to lack of competition. It plays a good game though and has a decent level of difficulty. Unfortunately, it is forgettable and looks very much like a game you'd find on your mobile phone.

    Battalion Commander would make a pretty good free iOS run and gun shooter. But it's on a PS4 and isn't free. The autofiring makes it all feel a bit unsatisfying for our liking and progress is more about brute force rather than skill. But the game has an addictive quality that makes it oddly difficult to put down.

    The definitive collection of the Amnesia games all in one package. They remain as terrifying today as they were when originally released. Mixing some puzzles with a narrative exploration game, this isn't a game full of action. However, the atmosphere is oppressive and unnerving which is exactly what we want from a horror game.

    Hue
    Hue is a unique puzzle platformer that will keep you entertained to its conclusion. There’s no real replay value but the design and the steady introduction of new obstacles make it worth a look if you’re a fan of the genre.

    Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity is overly simple to the point of providing no challenge. It’s not broken but almost every element could be improved in some obvious way to make it more interesting.

    Offering an odd mix between an MMO and a more standard RPG Sword Art Online is game of two sides. It tells a decent story and offers decent combat but sometimes feels like these two sides are competing with each other.

    Space Rift is a little clunky and has a low budget feel to it but it tells an interesting story and breaks it up with some fun dogfights. The presentation isn't going to wow you, even with the PSVR functionality, but if you're looking for a VR game with some potential depth, this episodic space opera is worth a look.

    As a visual novel game this lacks any kind of real interaction other than the X button. You’re coming here for the story and Steins;Gate 0 tells a great one, with multiple endings and loads to get your teeth into.
    • 75 Metascore

    It’s an unashamed Zelda clone but this one certainly flatters. It takes what it needs from Nintendo’s franchise whilst refining on key aspects. You might tire of the block and switch puzzles but the game packs a brief length with plenty of exploration. The dungeon bosses provide ample challenge for those wanting it. If you’re after a quick fix, this might be for you.
