While it's far from being a revolution, Madcoaster is a very well-made entry in an increasingly stagnant genre.

Black Bird is difficult, weird, and an utterly brilliant shmup you need to check out right now.

If you're after a by-the-numbers rhythm-action experience, then HarmoKnight has you covered, but its lack of style and unwillingness to push any of its few ideas forward are a massive letdown.

George Orwell meets Monster Hunter in what feels like one of Vita's oddest and most significant exclusives yet.

While it isn't the most innovative game in the world, Tiny Plane has enough interesting ideas to make repeatedly destroying a plane a decent way to waste some time.

Bubble Witch Saga 2 remains a fun and polished Puzzle Bobble-alike puzzler, but its random reward system and blatant IAP-milking structure prove a little tough to stomach.

I went into Wuthering Waves fully expecting to write it off, thinking it would be a pale imitation of the big one, but it just isn’t. It pains me to say, but it is better. Comparing it to another feels like an insult, Wuthering Waves is just really fun in and of itself. I will be playing more of this, and I wholeheartedly recommend everyone give it a spin. The gameplay is incredibly fun, it looks beautiful, and you don’t need to drop a penny to win. Also, you can pet and feed at least one cat. Probably should have led with that and saved myself the time.

A linear and repetitive experience, though one that certainly isn't short of occasional frantic moments of arcade greatness. But mediocre production values do restrict its potential and ultimate appeal.

A dizzying array of ideas and a varied combat system overlay a disappointingly basic platformer. Kirby Star Allies is a super-sweet confection that lacks a little substance

The Escapists 2 improves on its existing formula, offering up another great sandbox experience with a little more bite.

Unrelentingly difficult, Mad Skills BMX doesn't offer up enough fun-shaped rewards to make the slog through its levels worthwhile.

It's fun to see your favourite characters working and fighting together, but the gimmick wears off as you suffer through boring combat and fanfic-level storytelling.

Tri Force Heroes can be a thrill when played with a group of three friends. But try playing it solo or with just one pal, and things might not be so fun.

Living up to its claims of revolution, the game offers a fresh perspective on paint-based puzzling save for its harsh penalty for failure.

A reasonably simple game with some hidden depth. If your current chess or RTS game is all played out, Catan should be next on your list.

A familiar RPG premise given a refreshingly imaginative rock twist. Fun at first but the game's rigid structure struggles to remain engaging over time.

Spunk and Moxie may look cute, but it has a difficulty curve which is practically vertical. Seasoned platform veteran will want to test their skills here, but for everyone else caution is recommended.

Presenting colourful soccer action in a pleasingly strategic way, Soccer Moves just lacks a little of the fluidity and expansiveness of the great game.

You have to play Coldfire Keep on its own terms, but if you accept that then you'll find a challenging but rewarding RPG.

BattleHand is a gorgeous and finely-tuned blend of CCG and RPG which is somewhat spoiled by poor free to play implementation.

Egglia is a gorgeous if uninspiring JRPG that really doesn't do enough to justify the steep price tag.

Elliot Quest is fun with beautifully designed dungeons, but the finer details and overall story fall short of what it needs make it a truly great game.

Though it suffers occasionally in its pacing, World to the West is a fun 3D adventure/puzzler for players of all ages.

Cinders is a magnificent example of how to update an old story for a modern age, and visual novel fans should pick it up immediately.

While it adds some interesting new ideas to the schematic laid down by the original, Flight Control Rocket can't quite focus its attention in the same way, landing it on the fun, but a little muddled runway.

Picross e is definitely Picross, no doubt about that, but it doesn't really do anything we haven't already played numerous times before.

Battle Blasters has the perfect mixture of killer gameplay, fantastic multiplayer options and slick graphics, all of which come together to create an action title that will keep your trigger finger occupied for some time.

Despite a disjointed Campaign mode, Sky Gamblers: Cold War provides more slick dogfighting action with a greater range of military toys to play with.
