Dragon Quest Heroes is a fun game. But nothing more. It doesn't revolutionize anything, but in fact sets some RPG styles back a decade. Without engrossing characters or even story plot, it's worth little more than one, light hearted play through.
Still holding up after nearly 30 years, and still, every bit as challenging, Mega Man Legacy Collection is a great buy for the asking price. Even if it is a bit insecure with extra features.
Amplitude is a game trapped in the PS2's past but brought back through the developers' passion. There really isn't any innovation in this version, but it's not expensive so a lot can be overlooked. This game works best at a college dorm party or somewhere with lots of friends. But there's little more to do once everyone has gone home.
Shadow of the Beast is a passion project that works and runs really well. It still manages to somehow hold that classic platformer feel and style.
If you have yet to play Resident Evil 6, now is the time to do so. If you have already played it and didn't like it much, this version will not change your mind.
The game is a good experience for those looking to get a new platformer since they seem to be so few and far between. Just don't expect anything substantial besides the great humor surrounding this interesting world.
You'll find out while deep under the sea, that this adventure should have remained on shore. With uninteresting puzzles and mixed controls, you may want to think twice,
Hitman Episode 4: Bangkok takes a few steps backwards compared to the previous episodes.
Dead Rising: Triple Pack is a decent packaging of the original three games but there is no reason to revisit this if you have already played the original ones.
If you're looking for a hunting game to tide you over, this may be the game for you. It's not for people who don't have patience and want a quick kill.
Overall, The LEGO NINJAGO Movie Video Game is a game worth picking if you're a fan of LEGO games.
MLB The Show 18 takes the good parts from last year's game, but doesn't build on the series much.
Need For Speed is an okay racer. But with the likes of Forza 6, Project Cars and others that completely out performed this one, it's very hard to recommend.
This visually stunning game is a great concept that never really gets to the point the developers may have intended. With an overly abstract story, uncomfortable controls, and not much to do but look at things, there isn't much left for players beyond the casual type.
Overall, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has some awesome features for customizing and building up your weapons, a wide open world where going about the mission is up to you, and a fun drone to pilot around, but the bland story, bugs and glitches, and lazy design choices make this game nothing special.
Everybody's Gone To The Rapture really tried to be something more powerful than a video game. It tried to be art. However, instead of becoming a Mona Lisa, it felt as though the paint was still awaiting its first brush stroke. It never quite got there, but if it ever achieved that first stroke, it was bound to be brilliant.
With not a whole lot going on besides grinding for resources, trying to catch the bus, and ending up doing it all over again, this game will not hold your interest for more than a few days.
Kromaia wants to be more than what it is, but it tries too hard with too many active parts all at once. Falling flat while at the same time continually exploding images on screen to achieve a more frenzied momentum feels desperate.
Hitman Go: Definitive Edition is a simplistic travel game that doesn't fit on the PS4. If you own a Vita, travel a lot and don't have much time to game, this is perfect for you.
Moto Racer 4 won't be a game of choice when it comes to racers, but its short races make it fun for those looking to get in a quick race.
