Great puzzle design and a sense of wonder isn't enough to redeem Skully from its platforming shortfalls, in this quirky but frustrating title.
Remorselessly fun, Ghostrunner makes a good argument for bringing a sword to a gunfight.
Even if lacking the slickness of some of its genre forebears, Visage still shocks and entertains once you begin to piece it all together.
With attention beneficially split between puzzles and story, Call of the Sea charms with an enjoyable pulp adventure.
Psychonauts 2 is a great sequel which lives up to the lofty ambitions that the original struggled to execute. There's a lot of brains - but more importantly a lot of heart.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits' stunning visuals and fantastical abilities are weighed down by repetitive combat - and a world with more to see than to do.
A great sequel taking the series in a more vivid direction, it is well worth pushing past the timidness of the early game.
