Just about every aspect of DayZ is in dire need of some degree of polish, however, if you persist (and you should) a deep and ultimately ingenious title lay underneath that places a premium on player-made stories. All the same be aware that in its current state, it will take a remarkable degree of patience to get that most from DayZ - such quantities that more than a few folk simply won't have.- PlayStation Universe

Where The Bees Make Honey is a frustrating and boredom-inducing puzzle game that suffers from an unthinkable amount of technical issues, poor controls, unclear objectives, and bad level design. Any heart that is put into the narrative is wiped away by these issues and made me want to quit playing, minutes after starting the game up.- PlayStation Universe

A[n] oily, toxic pool of bad ideas, half-baked mechanics, and shoddy design masquerading as a tough retro-inspired football game. Kick Off Revival is just plain awful.- PlayStation Universe

Stray Souls barely works well enough to finish, but it lacks the kind of refinement and effort needed to bring together all of the ideas presented in this game. Doubly so, the technical issues make an already fragmented narrative feel even more disjointed. Even for people who enjoy bad horror, this is a hard sell.- PlayStation Universe

Despite being successful as something to joyously mock for its absurdity, The Quiet Man is a catastrophic failure on every level. It’s perhaps telling that the nicest thing you can say about it is that everybody involved got a lovely selection of clothing out of it.- PlayStation Universe

Basement Crawl tries hard to recapture the magic of Bomberman but has a hard time with its horror theme, lack of a real tutorial, and online connectivity issues. Overall, Basement Crawl can be a fun game but it's hard to justify a purchase when half of the game just doesn't want to work.- PlayStation Universe

Greyhill incident is an unpleasant and downright laughable attempt at a sci-fi survival horror game. Rancid dialogue, shonky game design, wafer-thin substance, and a complete lack of cohesive storytelling are just the tip of a very large iceberg of problems.- PlayStation Universe

That Afro Samurai 2's first episode gets so much wrong in such a small amount of time speaks volumes about its laundry list of problems. A disastrous experience all round.- PlayStation Universe

An alpha build masquerading as a finished product. If you enjoy creating your own insane motorbike tracks then you could have fun, but racing them will just be eternal torment.- PlayStation Universe

While I had some issues with the soundtrack – as the music can get overly repetitive at the best of times - the graphics are pretty good for a handheld, with the plastic models and environments looking quite impressive during the replays.- PlayStation Universe

Worms is a great game of strategy but, for us, the nostalgia has worn off. Do we really need three Worms games packaged together?- PlayStation Universe

For very little money, if you like slide puzzle games then you'll love Beats Slider. If you don't then you probably should avoid it. Beats Slider is available now exclusively on PlayStation Mobile.- PlayStation Universe

A fast-paced strategy game for adrenaline junkies wanting instant gratification for their victories, and no time invested in their soul crushing losses. It serves as a litmus test for those new to the strategy genre and wanting a game without complicated gameplay to make their brain explode.- PlayStation Universe

A great concept that chose the wrong genre. Fun for those looking for a Dead Nation type of game, but it lacks the edge of your seat, lightning gameplay of the former to keep gamers engaged for long.- PlayStation Universe

An accomplished adaptation of one of history's most timeless board games, Backgammon Blitz just falls short of being the definitive version of the game on account of its lack of cross-save functionality and redundant Blitz mode.- PlayStation Universe

5 Star Wrestling delivers a clever and refreshing take on the genre in the ring, but is massively hampered by its mountain of drawbacks and flaws outside of it. Fight your way through that and there’s a satisfying depiction of how wrestling works waiting to be discovered.- PlayStation Universe

The price point is perfect to explore a new sports game in MLB 15: The Show, and those looking for a concentrated baseball experience on PS Vita will be more than pleased, even if multiplayer is all but absent from the final product.- PlayStation Universe

A charming and well-constructed take on the twin stick shooter, Flame Over endears itself greatly with easy to play, yet difficult to master mechanics which neatly avoid the frustration usually associated with roguelike titles.- PlayStation Universe

Inside My Radio is an often clever, creative and fun platformer/rhythm-action hybrid that perhaps pulls too many of its rabbits out of its hat before the final act. While it suffers for being a bit short, and for not always blending the two genres as well as it could, it does have an incredibly vibrant identity of its very own, and that’s something worth praising.- PlayStation Universe

An endless runner that at least dares to try some different ideas, Corridor Z still unfortunately remains very much stuck in the mud of its two overplayed tropes found in its chosen genre and theme. It is, however, still a fairly serviceable runner that’ll whittle away a few minutes a day for a short time.- PlayStation Universe

A better effort this time round, but it’s still not enough to make Now That’s What I Call Sing 2 a truly great karaoke game. Pick it up cheap enough and it’ll serve you up a nice safe slice of warbling wonder for family gatherings and parties alike.- PlayStation Universe

Rivals makes Rock Band 4 a much better experience for the hardcore, whilst throwing a juicy story mode bone to the more casual player. As expansions go, this is pretty much how you should go about it.- PlayStation Universe

If you're looking to immerse yourself in a meticulously rendered world for a few minutes at a time, or just relax for a bit after a stressful day, then Perfect has you covered. If however, you're expecting anything, anything more than that then Perfect simply doesn't do enough to maintain interest.- PlayStation Universe
