It’s a sadistic thrill ride that dies down way too quickly, and unfortunately, I don’t see myself going back and playing it again anytime soon.

I can think of a handful of better puzzle games on the PSN, but if you’ve got a soft spot for cats or poorly translated Japanese games, you may want to give this one a go.

Aaru’s Awakening can be beaten in just a few sittings and the experience isn’t memorable or overall exciting. It is worth somewhat of a playthrough to look at the gorgeous environments and characters, provided they don’t kill you first.

The Legend of Korra doesn’t have the budget of a full retail release and it shows. The levels feel empty, there’s very little variation in enemies, you’ll fight the same ‘boss’ multiple times, and everything just feels scaled down.

While the core gameplay is enjoyable and the amount of content is impressive, Table Top Racing is missing too much to become a standout.

The game instead features a linear journey with some not-all-that-exciting tasks, a bit of repetition, a clunky climbing system, and a pet dinosaur that isn’t nearly as cool as it could be.

Beyond Eyes may be worth playing if you can find the game on sale, but it doesn’t offer too much new to people who enjoy these types of games. On the other hand, if you have a young one or want to introduce games to someone, this may be the game.

For as great as The Firefly Diary looks it’s really unfortunate that the gameplay can be so frustrating. Cheap deaths, unresponsive touch controls, and a number of other smaller annoyances really hurt my experience with the game by the time it was all said and done.

Overall, the segments in the games are lengthy besides for in Runner and it’s a pain to restart from the beginning if you die.

This is an abstract game, especially up front. The only tutorials to be found are vague pictures in the background that hint at what actions you can perform.

Red Goddess: Inner World can be enjoyable, but the infuriating one hit kill platforming, long load times and difficulty spikes ruin the experience.

Feist isn’t a bad game, but it wasn’t all that enjoyable at the same time. Most times I just wanted to get through the level as quickly as possible, which I suppose is the goal if you are trying to beat the speedrun times. There are occasional framerate drops in the game, but they don’t really show their true colors until the end of the game. The game is pretty short, so don’t expect a long journey. The game’s longevity can be increased if you care about clearing the levels with the fastest time and without dying.

Coffin Dodgers is no more than a stop-gap in your daily gaming routine.

I love the atmosphere within Knock-Knock, the art direction works really well, and the descent into madness idea has potential. I just found myself not wanting to play anymore about four cycles into the game.

In the end, Syberia is old, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Some aspects like the writing, movement and direction have aged with time, but the style of the world, puzzles and story make up for the shortcomings.

$4.99 is a cheap price, so if you’re at all interested, I’d say it’s worth the asking price. I would caution you from expecting a genuinely engaging experience, though.

Woah Dave! is the kind of game that leaves me bummed out not because it’s bad, but because I want to like it. I see what it’s trying to do and I want to like it more than I do. I’m just not having fun playing it.

It’s clear that Virginia is supposed to be mysterious, the absence of any dialog helps to keep things firmly planted in the unexplainable, but when there’s no payoff to any of the build up – it all starts to feel a bit meaningless.

Ace Banana is a tough game to recommend, and it’s even tougher to decide which control scheme you should use. If you care about the small menu mini-game, then you’ll need PlayStation Move controllers, but if you want to play the game with any reasonable success, you’ll want to play with the traditional controller. I didn’t have much fun with Ace Banana, as any enjoyment I did have was from mindlessly shooting monkeys early on in the game. The more I played, the more frustrated I became.

AeternoBlade is very easily forgettable, and will sooner or later be grouped with all of the other failed metroidvania ideas.

Where the PS4 version of Bedlam could have been a trip down memory lane, it is instead a test of endurance. With so many other novel PSN games, I’m not sure this history lesson is worth the time investment.

Overall, Yobie is enjoyable for a few moments until you see past its bland weapons and tedious cog collecting. Only 5 missions and 2 difficulty settings doesn’t help much to broaden the overall short experience. It all ends in an unsatisfying conclusion that isn’t worth the $20 price tag.

If you’re a hardcore D&D or Risk fan, you may not trip over the dice rolling and the success checks. If not, you may find yourself bobbling and dropping Blood Bowl 2 before too long.

Hyperdevotion has potential, but it has some problems that it needs to work out before becoming the fun game that it definitely can be. The combat is slow, the story is terribly boring, and the game’s difficulty should be tweaked. There’s a good game hiding somewhere in Hyperdevotion, now the job is just finding it.

It doesn’t do anything interesting to make itself stand out, so I would advise anyone who values their time and money to stay away.

It sucks to say it, but the frustrating controls flat out ruin any enjoyment I had with Q*Bert Rebooted. The path that you take throughout each stage is so important to Q*Bert and having controls that don’t cooperate in that respect really sucks.

Overall, Infinity Runner shows some bright spots of enjoyment, but occasional glitches and a broken Infinity mode puts a sour taste in any purchaser’s mouth. Framerate drops, and deaths that don’t really feel like they were your fault, doesn’t help much either. The story isn’t there to hold your interest, even if you can watch the cutscenes. The game can be improved with a patch, but there is a lot here to clean up.

There’s nothing all that scary about Weeping Doll; any sort of creepy imagery just tends to fall flat and the game’s voice acting can, at times, make the game feel more comedy than horror. The game’s lack of an ending didn’t disappoint me, it just left me bewildered. The headset came off, I shrugged my shoulders, and just moved on.

Alas, what you see is what you get. For this reason, Jungle Rumble is incapable of grabbing the attention of anyone looking for more than an iPhone/iPad game on Vita.

Some enjoyment can be found in Zotrix, if you can get past all of the technical issues that plague the game. However if that doesn’t ruin the experience, the menu interface sure will. It can ruin all enjoyment of the game.

LA Cops is a frustrating and unsatisfying game that is not worth a purchase for any person. On the one hand, the game is tedious and unforgiving and on the other hand if you take advantage of the dumb enemy AI, it is simple and easy. There is no middle ground where the game is somewhat challenging and enjoyable in any manner.

Just stay away from this one and lets all dream that one day Platinum Games will get to make a great Afro Samurai game, but in the meantime, if you have never played the original Afro Samurai from 2008, I would advise you to pick that up instead.

The gameplay is dull and repetitive, the story is worthless, the sound design is so generic it could work anywhere, and there’s next to no replayability.

Unless a patch comes out and changes just about everything in terms of gameplay, it’s not worth picking up and enduring the frustrating experience that is Calvino Noir.
