Although racing is not my thing, I definitely recommend the game. Despite the high speed, gameplay is easy to get the hang of, and you can tell the developers put a lot of hard work into the environments and the controls so that everything feels just right. Lightfield is a fun racing+parkour game, and I look forward to seeing what the team does next.
To truly appreciate what Chris Johnson and Chris Larkin have created in Expand, you have to approach it as an experience, not a game. It's not a puzzler that wants to challenge the deepest of your skills, it wants you to navigate around it, forgetting about all the stress that's around you. So if relaxing games are your thing, if you have enjoyed games like Flower for example, then this one is a must-have release for your library.
Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth is a solid entry in the series and one you have to play on Nintendo 3DS. Its gameplay remains as fun as ever, and this fifth entry in the franchise is one of the best games on Nintendo's portable. If you're still on the fence then you should definitely check out the free demo for the game since it allows you to get started with access to all characters and classes, and if you decide to buy the game then your progress will transfer – you'll get to play up to the 3rd floor with a level cap of 10 for your adventurers.
If you like survival horror games, then you have to pick up Red Candle Games' and Coconut Island Games' Detention. With its great art-style and great setup, this is one that definitely warrants a playthrough. And when you add the successfully achieved horror aspect of the game, it becomes the kind of game that everybody should experience. I'm hoping they build on the success of this game to get us an even bigger sequel!
Overall, I enjoyed playing the game despite the few problems that came with it. My favorite thing in the whole game is certainly Arcade Mode, and my least favorite thing with this one is the freezing problem. If you like ping pong, then you might get something good out of this PS VR release since it's not so bad, but be aware that the tracking of the PlayStation Camera and the Move controllers does feel a bit of every now and then – rather clunky until you get the hang of things.
If you're a fan of walking simulators, then Leaving Lyndow is a short game in which you'll experience a bittersweet moment in Clara's life. It can be completed in less than two hours at most, so do keep that in mind if you're considering getting it.
Overall, I definitely recommend that you get the Universal Classics Pinball Pack since all three tables are very enjoyable. For me, Jaws is the weak one in the trio, but it definitely does some interesting things to rightfully gain its right to be included in a pack of classic Universal movies.
Vostok Inc. is an interesting game that mixes two genres with great success. It is a very addictive release, and once you play, it will end up sucking you in. The gameplay might be a bit repetitive, but there is a lot to do as you aim at getting that shiny Platinum trophy for your collection. The game is very affordable, and it's definitely a unique experience, so you should certainly check it on PS4.
Morphite is definitely a polarizing game.
Apart from the odd mishap the game / horror experience is OK. I do believe that the team should have concentrated more on the VR side of the things rather than having this be a PS4 and PS VR game in one. Having said that, it's a nice effort by the developers at playing with your senses, but overall I think there are too many horror experiences on PS VR.
The graphics are nicely done, and the princess is a delight to move around thanks to some smooth animation. I liked how the background music changes for each level, with an eclectic mix of genres that end up fitting the mood of the game. All in all Light Tracer is a fabulous take on the platforming genre on PlayStation VR, managing to immerse the player into a new thoroughly enjoyable immersive puzzle adventure.
SteamWorld Dig 2 is everything I wanted from a sequel to SteamWorld Dig and then some. It's even more addictive than the first one, bigger, more dynamic, colorful and charming. Once you get started it will be hard to put this one down, so be ready for hours and hours of fun!
Overall the game is very fun, and a worthy addition to the Neptunia franchise. There's a very fun story to experience, lots of dungeons to visit and quests to complete, and plenty of fun jokes at the expense of the MMORPG genre that will make you smile during your time with the game. If you're looking for a solid hack and slash with your beloved Neptunia characters, then this is exactly what you need.
With all its immersive graphical beauty, The Solus Project is a great survival experience game. While it does have some bugs, it is an immersive experience that looks great on PS VR – there is something great about standing on the beach watching a meteor shower or jumping into a pool of water in pitch black darkness. There is so much to explore that you'll be spending many hours on this alien planet.
I'm currently working on my review for the Universal Classics Pinball Pack, so be sure to stick around at PS4Blog.net to see if its three tables are a worthy addition to the Zen Studios legacy.
While Splasher is not revolutionizing the genre and clearly has a hard to ignore nod or two to the lead's past projects, Splashteam has done an incredible job in creating this platformer. The game plays great, is beautiful to look at, and has more than enough challenges to take replay value to the top. It's the best platformer I played in the last couple of years, the last one probably being Rayman Legends (which we reviewed a few years ago), and I truly hope the success of this game will give us a sequel in the future!
Transcripted is an original release that crosses over two other great releases: Geometry Wars and Zuma (which is a game I played A. LOT!), and it works in the end! We liked the underlying story, and navigating in the different environments. For the asking price of $8, this is a release you should keep under your radar!
Graceful Explosion Machine is a fast-paced and action-packed release that is highly addictive. You'll end up returning over and over again to each level as you first aim to get A grades in all of them before you move up to getting an S rank on them from near-perfect start-to-finish runs in each level, building up massive combos as you avoid being hit by enemies. There's plenty of content here and a nice variety of enemies to make this one an easy game to recommend on PS4.
So if you can get past the practically naked girls, the story is very amusing and over the top. And if you're a fan of the franchise then you're definitely going to love what this one has to offer! The change of pace from the regular gameplay mechanics of the main SENRAN KAGURA is interesting, and the fast-paced arena arcade action will suck you in. Are you ready for a fight?
We really liked playing through of Planet of the Eyes. Other than a small complaint about how the game is a bit on the short side, which is not a deal-breaker, we both enjoyed its looks, fun platforming, and puzzles. The audio logs made this a very entertaining release that we highly recommend. You might be able to complete the game in 1-2 hours at most, but it does mean that there is no unnecessary content just to extend the total gameplay time for no reason. Be sure to check this game out!
