Polarized ending may split some players with some saying the endings offer a satisfying conclusion to this teen sci-fi drama while others may find it a somewhat underwhelming climax to what has been a great series. The ending aside, this has been another very well written chapter, as the tension continued to rise throughout and as for the character development it was again on top form rewarding players with some very moving moments.
Deathsmiles manages to hit the perfect difficulty level so that both newcomers and old hats at the genre will find the challenge level they desire. The bullet patterns, crazy bosses, and badass protagonists all combine to create a fun experience, even if a run of the campaign can be completed in half an hour.
Return to PopoloCrois is a charming RPG with a cute world, and characters, that players will find themselves getting attached to. While the basic combat is enjoyable, it can become repetitive if the random encounter rate is set too high. That being said, it is possible to break from the main quest at any point to go farming, befriend the local ladies, or complete side quests, that all work towards keeping the game fresh.
Since the pros definitely outweigh the cons everyone should at some point experience one of the most impressive titles in recent memory
Nom Nom Galaxy is a fun, charming and highly addictive management-sim that manages to keep you engaged thanks to an appealing aesthetic design and some clever game modes, despite suffering from minor quirks that can occasionally lessen its enjoyment.
Ether One is a mesmerizing experience that is bogged down by some questionable design choices and a general lack of direction. If you can see past these minor imperfections, you'll find that at its core lies a deep psychological study of the human brain, wrapped in a fantastic story that keeps you guessing throughout. It's a topic not common in your everyday AAA title, and for that it must be commended.
Ziggurat proves to be a breath of fresh air in the roguelike genre. While it does rely on several key conventions, it manages to provide enough new features so as to appeal to a wide range of players. Framerate and difficulty problems aside, this is an adventure that fans of exploration and fantasy will not want to miss.
Bastion presents you with enough charm and originality to override that bittersweet taste the story leaves in you, and it makes you forget about it with its awe-inspiring environments, an excellent use of the Narrator and an overall attention to detail that make it one of the best downloadable titles on the system.
While the initial five hour campaign is impressive, the strong community filled with quirky user-generated levels should keep players entertained for many hours after the credits roll; at the price which Curve Digital has set, Stealth Inc. 2 is a steal.
A solid instalment into the series, that'll leave you on the edge of your seats. With a cast of in-depth characters, and a storyline which you aren't going to forget in a hurry, Life is Strange is one of the more unique games on the market today.
If you are looking for a fun time look no further than OlliOlli 2: Welcome to OlliWood
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires provides you with the tools to create your own epic tale of love, betrayal and war, but it won't spoon feed it to you; your imagination must do some of the work to flesh out the experience. The change of pace from the frantic combat offered by the strategic elements of Empire Mode helps keeps things fresh, but if you aren't able to invest interest in the characters and the kingdoms, or can't stomach the cathartic but repetitive combat, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires may not win you over. For everyone else, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is quite possibly the best Dynasty Warriors game to date, on the verge of greatness.
Due to the difficulty of puzzles it is hard to recommend the title to just anyone, but if you are a fan of the genre or the original release you should definitely check out the legendary adventure of Manny Calavera.
Although short, Gat Out of Hell's story is great, and makes for an enjoyable experience with its unique flying mechanics and setting. Fans of the franchise will love this, however newcomers may feel let down by its lack of real narrative.
While many ports are simply lesser versions of what is already available, Octodad on the Vita retains what made the original releases so fun and therefore it is easy to recommend.
Badland offers plenty to those who seek it and therefore it is a title which is easy to recommend to anyone wielding a PS Vita in their pocket.
Elliot Quest is a great homage to the classic 8-bit era that inspired it. The game is visually impressive, boasts a catchy, enjoyable soundtrack and features hours upon hours of replayability. However the best thing about this game also happens to be the worst; it definitely doesn't hold your hand. While it is very easy to get lost on your journey across the island the game provides a great challenge that'll keep players entertained for a long time.
With an interesting rhythm-based gameplay mechanic and innovative gameplay that works perfectly with the brilliantly-engineered soundtrack, Crypt of the Necrodancer is the best roguelike I've played so far this year.
A gorgeous and high quality indie point-and-click adventure that fans of the genre must take for a spin. Anna's Quest impresses with an engaging and mysterious story-line and hours of entertaining and logical puzzles.
The steampunk artstyle is a nice approach but it hasn't been pulled off to well coming across more bland than enticing. The gameplay more than makes up for it though, kept fresh by procedurally generated missions and rewards it ensures that no two playthroughs are ever the same. Ironcast offers up plenty strategic possibilities for players to mess around with but be warned that luck plays a heavy role in progressing to the later stages.
