Overall, once you get into the groove, Subaeria is a fun puzzle game. If you're a fan of roguelikes and puzzle games, then you might be ready to give this one a shot. The graphics are very polished, and the gameplay mechanics are indeed different enough to make it stand from other puzzle games or roguelikes. The concept is clever, there's a good variety of puzzles to solve, but there is room for improving the game if the team adds more variety to the randomly generated rooms.
I haven't played many tennis games, and I know there are some excellent ones out there, but this title seemed a bit off. The gameplay feels overly complicated, and there are no considerable tutorials in the game. The characters lack detail, and none of the arenas seemed super detailed either. Unless you have a tennis ball-shaped hole in your heart that needs to be filled, then you might want to try a different game.
As you play the game you will gain experience and level up. Once you do, you should go before the Chalice to meditate to unlock new skills – your first one will be the Phantom Blast which, as I mentioned before, you can unleash by holding down on the Square button to then release an energy projectile. You can also find amber during your journey, which can be offered as tribute at the magical anvil to receive a blessing, which includes things such as increasing your overall health, increasing the damage dealt by your blade, or unlocking a perfect dodge which will slow down time if you dodge an attack at the last possible second, to name a few examples.
Overall, I'd have to say the wait for EVERSPACE on PlayStation 4 has been worth it. There's a ton of content to enjoy in this one, and if you end up playing it and like what you see, you might want to also get the Encounters DLC which adds a new spaceship, the Colonial Sentinel, as well as several hours of extra gameplay with new questlines, new factory space stations, and more! Or, you know, you can also get the EVERSPACE Stellar Edition which includes the game, the Encounters DLC, the EVERSPACE soundtrack and an EVERSPACE dynamic theme!
Gal*Gun 2 is a weird Japanese release, and one that will not be to the taste of everyone, given its core context. I play a lot of different games and thought that while the violence in this game isn't graphic, the base mechanic has an odd-aftertaste for an American audience. If you're interested in this type of release, then you might have fun if you can get past what you see at first.
The Journey Down: Chapter One is a bit on the short side since, if you have experience with the point and click adventure genre, you'll be done with this one in less than two hours. The first episode does do a great job of setting things up for the other two entries in the trilogy which are releasing later in the year, so if you like what this one has to offer I suggest that you get the full trilogy in one go so that you can pay the next two as soon as they go live! The second and third chapters are longer, and I can't wait to play them on PS4!
To Leave is a great looking game that deals with a very serious topic in a tasteful way. Mental illness is always a tricky topic to tackle, but the team at Freaky Creations have certainly done a great job with this game. So if you want to try something different on PlayStation 4, you should definitely try To Leave.
There are no collectibles in this game, which is a bit odd since collectibles and platformers go hand in hand. In the end, this is an indie game available for $9.99, which is a good price for the content created by the developer as the main set of stages, plus the theoretically unlimited content you gain access to with the ton of stages available online. If you're looking for a quirky, colorful and fun physics-based platformer on Nintendo Switch, then you should check this one out. Danger is all over the place, but if you give this game a chance, you'll find a solid platforming option to play at home or on the go.
Shio is a fun and challenging 2D platformer that will test your skills every step of the way. There is a solid difficulty curve so that you slowly learn how to survive through the many hazards in your path, and since there are two difficulty options, even those that aren't as skilled can manage to make some solid progress in the game. So if you're looking for a new 2D platformer where running and jumping are all you need to worry about, then you should check out Shio on PS4!
SteamWorld Heist is a must-have game on the Nintendo Switch, and since it's available as SteamWorld Heist: Ultimate Edition, you get the main game and all DLC in a single download for a very affordable price. If you're a fan of SteamWorld Dig, or of its sequel (the aptly named SteamWorld Dig 2), and want to dive into an adventure that is different but just as fun, and set in the same SteamWorld universe, then you should download this game today. I highly recommend it since you'll be spending dozens of hours completing the whole game and its DLC missions. And once you've finished the game, you can dive right back in thanks to its New Game+…
I really liked Conan Exiles. It drops you into an intense and brutal world, and it has deep gameplay mechanics that rewards you for digging deeper into the game. There is potential for some really cool things you can do, and this is the type of game in which you can spend 100+ hours playing. The combat is a bit too simple for my taste, so hopefully that is improved as the game is updated. I'd also like to see how Funcom can evolve the Thrall system some more but, overall, this is an easy game to recomend.
Developer Rainbite has taken inspiration from some of the best classics ever, and they have delivered a small-scale game that's both a great homage and a release that manages to stand on its own. Reverie is a fun game to play for pretty much everyone that enjoys action games. Reverie is totally worth your time and money, and I look forward to seeing what the team does for their next game!
PSN Game Price: $24.99
Swim Out is a fun puzzle game with a minimalist art style that is easy to recommend.
Thanks to the extra content for both games, Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory is the best way to play the definitive version of Fallen Legion: Sins of an Empire and Fallen Legion: Flames of Rebellion. Being able to play the game at home or on the go is fun, and the game looks great on TV and on the Nintendo Switch's screen. There's a lot of content to enjoy in this collection, making it's $39.99 price a steal.
I really loved playing Cosmic Star Heroine on PlayStation Vita and everything it brings to the table. It made me go back down memory lane, remembering games I enjoyed way back in the day while taking on this new adventure. The game has a great battle system that manages to make every battle feel fresh. If you're looking for a JRPG to play at home or on the go, then I highly recommend that you buy Cosmic Star Heroine today!
Penny-Punching Princess is an entertaining and fast-paced game in which you always need to be on high alert since a lot is going on in each fight as you juggle enemies and traps in small arena-style spots… which only gets worse when you're also facing against a mid-boss! If you're a fan of dungeon crawlers then I definitely recommend you give this one a try since it's a game that will keep you coming back for more until the end.
Trailblazers is a very fun combination of gameplay mechanics we've seen in other games, bringing them together in a racing game that stands out from the crowd. If you're into slower racing games then this game one is not for you, but if you like to dive into fast-paced racers with interesting gameplay mechanics that add a new twist into the mix, then be sure to check out Trailblazers today!
If you're into colorful racing games with a ton of content, then you should definitely check out Horizon Chase Turbo on PlayStation 4. The team at Aquiris has done a great job with this fast-paced racer, and I'll be working my way on getting a new Platinum for my collection as I work on completing the pending objectives in my trophy list. Hopefully we soon get some extra DLC tracks… or a sequel next year!
Fairune Collection is a very nice release on Nintendo Switch that for only $9.99 offers four games you can play at home or on the go for 10+ hours before you can complete all of them. Fairune and its sequel look a lot better on Nintendo Switch than they did on the Nintendo 3DS, so if you're a fan of the series this is a must-have on Nintendo's hybrid console.
