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.

The first Chronicles entry isn’t perfect, but it’s a good starting point.

Shovel Knight has everything. It’s fun, the soundtrack is ridiculously good, the difficulty curve feels just right, there’s smart level design, funny writing, a story that’s surprisingly touching, and so much more.

Personally it’s still tough to justify the $20 price tag, but the new features make the price a little more reasonable. However, if you are looking for a game to play with others who normally don’t play games, but love baseball, give this a look.

Titan Souls is super fun, challenging, and rewarding in a way that not many games are. Also, shooting an arrow through a Yeti’s butt has never felt so great.

All in all, puzzle game fans owe it to themselves to try out Stealth Inc. 2, you won’t regret it.

In all, it’s a must-buy if you have at least one other person to play it with on a consistent basis.

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.

Soldner X-2 was an enjoyable experience, even if it was short. The gameplay is fun and the adaptive difficulty really makes the game great.

Slender to me always demonstrates why it’s so scary to feel like someone or something is watching you. I think Slenderman The Arrival succeeds in doing that. At the same time I think the gameplay and story could be more interesting.

That said Axiom Verge is a game that absolutely nails exploration/discovery and that’s an experience that people deserve to have for themselves. After three full playthroughs I can’t think of many other games that have proved to be as rewarding as this. It’s the kind of game that, just when I thought I figured it out, it would surprise me again and again.

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.

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.

Hotline Miami 2 has its issues, but it’s still a standout game.

This is a big step in the right direction for the franchise and I can only hope that things continue that way in the future.

Your enjoyment of Scram Kitty DX will likely come down to how you feel about the controls.

Overall the game does a really good job of creating a tense atmosphere without needing to rely on jump scares.

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 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.

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.

Each adventure through Hand of Fate has allowed me to imagine myself journeying through many far off places, meeting different people, and overcoming any number of obstacles. Even in the face of many technical issues I’m so hooked that I can’t help but continue to come back for more with each passing day.

Super Stardust Ultra is a classic which everyone deserves to give a try, but if you’ve played before, proceed with caution.

For a couple of hours (or about 240 minutes) of throwback scorechasing with an initially easy access point, buy Minutes.

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.

I could sit here and gush about the art style and overall presentation all day, but hey, go download this game and experience it for yourself.

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

Kick & Fennick is the kind of game that I was ready to put down about a chapter before things wrapped up. It’s not a bad game, I’m mostly positive on it, but it took too long to capture my attention.

The story kept me going and the overall fun of the puzzles made the game an amusing 3 hour treat which is well worth the money.
