Habroxia 2 is a modern gamer's idea of what retro shoot 'em ups were like but it's far removed from what made the genre special.

Although it features flashy visuals and initially intriguing gameplay, Destruction AllStars begins to get a bit tiresome after a while. It still offers plenty of entertainment but the fun factor doesn't quite have as much longevity as some similar titles do.

If you want to master a tough co-op game then Bonkies provides plenty of tricky levels that'll keep you and your chums entertained.

Its over-reliance on solving grid-based puzzles takes away from The Pillar: Puzzle Escape's otherwise clever adventure gameplay.
