Tokyo Xanadu is a massive game with a lot to offer. I could keep talking a lot more about it, but I think you get a good idea of what you can expect from this PlayStation Vita release. If you're looking for a solid action RPG release for Sony's portable, then I recommend you get Tokyo Xanadu. The game's look is great, and its gameplay is flawless, not to mention it has a ton of content available for you, as well as a shiny Platinum at the end of the road!
Steins;Gate 0 is a visual novel with a rich and engaging story that will keep you going until the end. It makes great use of its diverse cast of characters as it tells a story that, while sometimes lighthearted, is a bit on the dark side in more than one spot. If you're looking for a great visual novel on PlayStation 4, then Steins;Gate 0 is exactly what you need.
Nex Machina is a great release from Housemarque, giving us a solid twin-stick bullet hell release. I liked the geometric world, exploring each bite-sized area as I dodged plenty of bullets like there was no tomorrow and the soundtrack. All things considered, I still think that Super Stardust Delta (on PlayStation Vita) is still my favorite Housemarque release, but I definitely recommend you play Nex Machina!
Drop It: Block Paradise is a fun puzzler for all ages, where players of all skill levels will get a chance to complete all levels after some trial and error. The game is very colorful, which is always a good thing in this day and age when so many games are gray and brown! If you're a fan of puzzle game and love to create your own puzzles, then I highly recommend you run to download Drop It: Block Paradise!
SmuggleCraft is an interesting but flawed release that could use a patch or two to rebalance things. Controls are a bit too floaty and the AI is too aggressive even on missions that the game itself says are Easy and Legal. If illegal activities with a high difficulty rating are packed with other smugglers out to get your cargo, then easy and legal operations should not have the same actual difficulty during gameplay.
Overall, I'm having fun with the Psych Ward DLC for Prison Architect. The DLC introduces some new elements to a winning formula, making the game feel fresh even a year after release. The only complaint I have is that the DLC has no new trophies for players to try to unlock, but that's the one knock I'd have against an otherwise excellent set of content.
Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic that will present players with a considerable challenge, especially for trophy hunters. I really dig the game's graphics, and sound and its writing and humor gave me a chuckle here and there as well. If you're into old-school styled games then you should dive into Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic!
The cartoony graphics are very minimalist, and the character and facial animations are similar to what you'd see in a cartoon. I found the characters to be full of personality, despite it being a 2D game. Last Stitch Goodnight is a fun game on PS4 where combat is a bit easy but the puzzles make it worth your time and money. Sure, it's not the best game on PS4, but it's a nice option to have available!
Final Fantasy XV has a ton of surprises for you. We have been waiting a very long time for this game, but now that the wait is finally over, I can certainly say it was worth it. There are many things to do in a game with gorgeous environments, massive monsters and a ton of side-quests, so I'm sure you're going to love this one.
Seasons After Fall is a great looking and very charming puzzle/platformer with a bit of a Metroidvania thing going on. It might be short, but it's definitely fun from start to finish. It's a relaxing experience that allows you to explore beautiful hand-painted locations that come to life as you change from season to season. The puzzles are fun and never feel overwhelming, which is always a plus for this type of game. If you're looking for a solid puzzle/platformer on PS4, then give Seasons After Fall a try!
The game is big with a lot of content that could easily take you over 30 hours to play. There is plenty to do in the game, and a lot more content to experience on top of the main campaign if you want to get the Platinum trophy for your collection. The game looks great on PS Vita, and the music is very remarkable, making this a great game to enjoy on the go. If you're looking for a new dungeon crawler, then you should definitely get Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy. And if you liked Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy, then getting the sequel is a no-brainer!
I had a lot of fun with The Sexy Brutale. It's a short game that does something interesting by giving us a “Groundhog Day” style release where you replay the story from different perspectives as you use the information you gather to save all victims. Overall, you're looking at around 6-9 hours to 100% the game before you can add a new Platinum trophy to your collection. I highly recommend you get this charming and fun release on PS4 so that you too can explore what The Sexy Brutale has to offer.
Dreamfall Chapters on PlayStation 4 certainly feels like the definitive version. It features all content right from the start, so while we did have to wait for the game to release, we got all episodes at once. It also includes reworked character models, improvements to the animation, better lighting and some added special effects to make the game pop on the PlayStation 4. If you're a fan of adventure games, then you have to get Dreamfall Chapters for PS4 today!
If you want to play something different on PS4, the Randall could be a good option. But I do think you should first wait and see if the team improve things with a patch or two.
If you are looking for a massive SRPG for the Nintendo Switch, then you have to pick up Disgaea 5 Complete. NIS America is definitely going all in with Nintendo's latest console, and they have more games for it in 2017 and beyond, and I very much look forward to playing them.
I greatly enjoyed my time with the game for my Embers of Mirrim review. It's a solid platformer with a slight learning curve due to how you need to control both embers at the same time, but once you get the hang of things, it's a very fun experience. There's plenty to do, a Platinum trophy and lots of fun for less than $20. What's not to like?
Tango Fiesta is a fun action-packed release on PS4 that is very fun in single player, and even more fun with some buddies in local co-op. The game gets crazy hectic and challeging with a full group, but that's a big part of its charm, right? If you're up for the challenge, then you should get this tribute to the 1980's action movies today!
Eventide: Slavic Fable definitly follows the same formula of the previous releases from Artifex Mundi, which ain't a bad thing. I did have a better time with this one than with previous games since the focuse was less on hidden object puzzles and more on logic puzzles. The story was also very interesting and different from otehr entires. If you like adventure games then you should definitly give this one a try.
I'm planning on doing reviews for the game's level expansions, so watch out for those soon!
Overall, Rise and Shine is fun once you get going and get the hang of how shooting and aiming works. There is no Platinum trophy for this one, but it has a good list of objectives to complete for things such as killing the first boss without receiving any damage, opening all chests in the game, or doing the Konami code.
