    Astebreed is great fun, and its download price makes it very easy to recommend – it just seems a shame that the game's six stages can be whizzed through in the best part of an afternoon.

    Although it doesn't quite reach the heights of a surging opera, this Vita re-release is still worth singing along to if you're a fan of Japanese RPGs.

    It doesn't have the flair or the polish of a heavyweight like Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn, but it's certainly worth trying if you're looking for seemingly never ending adventures on PS4 – with or without friends.

    The beautiful new areas, incredible story, and massive additions to existing content make Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward an amazing package.

    Ultimately, F1 2015 feels pretty lightweight in terms of content, and if you place it side by side with F1 2014, it's clear as day that what we have is little more than the bare-bones basics.

    Rocket League is a good idea that's been expertly executed.

    There's lots of enjoyment to be had here, but it's also cruel reminder that the LEGO franchise needs something new to break out of its now conveyer-belt approach.

    Sure, this is not a full release – it even adorns the word 'Alpha' on its title screen – but for a few cents it's a fun throwback to the old SEGA arcade days, with an undercurrent of black humour bubbling beneath the surface.

    Pneuma may not breathe life into the puzzle genre, but it certainly gives you a new perspective on it.

    Shantae: Risky's Revenge is a solid game.

    A solid character roster coupled with some eye-catching combat is what this beat-'em-up is all about – even if it could afford to take some more risks, given the wealth of source material on offer.

    Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition is a great enhancement to an already solid entry in the series.

    Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 is a solid handheld Warriors title that's let down by a couple of questionable design choices, namely the tedious bonds system, and the initially overwhelming battle objectives.

    It's a superior game that plays brilliantly, and certainly stands in a league of its own in the Arkham line-up for the most part, but it simply doesn't leave your jaw agape like Arkham City seemed to manage with such ease and finesse.

    Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 3 – Catch a Ride starts to get to the meat of the plot, but it still leaves a lot of questions.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's not especially fun, but at least it's not utterly broken like last year's attempt. Those tempted should buy in the knowledge that you'll get exactly what you expect, and no reality-busting glitches or road-praising crowds.

    Even with all of its problems, it's really hard not to fall a little bit in love with Payday 2: Crimewave Edition – purely from the thrill of pulling off capers with a crew.

    On the PlayStation 4, there's definitely still fun to be found in this highly stylised game, but the novelty soon wears off if you play it in long bursts.

    For such a cutesy, cartoony game, Super Exploding Zoo has a lot of gameplay depth and a surprising amount of tactical knowledge is needed to succeed in it.
    • 61 Metascore

    It's an admirable premise that certainly aims to offer insight and accessibility to one of science's most intimidating concepts, but loses focus and steam in all of the wrong places.

    Arcania: The Complete Tale is quite possibly the dullest RPG to arrive on the PS4 to date, and as if that wasn't enough, it also manages to be a poster child for all of worst parts of the recent trend for remasters.

    We really wanted Wander to be brilliant, but unfortunately, it comes across as half-baked, lacking in things to do, and underwhelming in almost every area.

    It's unlikely to hold your interest forever, then, but for the short time that it does it's a splendid game.

    Overall, there is much to commend in this magical blaster – just make sure that you bring a friend.

    Both Prison of Elders and Trials of Osiris are welcome additions to the formula, and are the real reasons to invest in the DLC – even if the asking price remains a little too steep and the title's core problems persist.

    Sparkle Unleashed is a solid puzzle game with a few new ideas – but not enough to truly feel fresh.
    • tbd Metascore

    The controls can seem slow at first and it fails to address many of the genre's major pitfalls, but if you're desperate for a kart racer on your PS4, then this sunny side up outing should tide you over until something better comes along. Just remember to slap on the sunscreen before taking to the track.

    The Escapists is excellent at what it does, there's no doubt about that, and it's cornered a market that nobody else dares to touch. It's generous with content, it's deep, and, at times, it's extremely satisfying. Still, it can be very tedious, and as such, unless you're actually in prison and have time to kill, there are probably better ways to spend your limited gaming hours.

    If you're looking for a fresh way to solve nonograms, this game's worth a gander, but others may not want to put on the specific brand of thinking cap required here for long.

    Game of Thrones: Episode 4 - Sons of Winter doesn't hit quite the same highs as its immediate predecessor – but it's likely to prove the most impactful instalment to date.
