Bleed 2 improves on the formula of Bleed, giving us a new game with more action, a higher overall difficulty, better graphics, and an even better soundtrack. It's a better game and a worthy sequel to a very fun game, making this a must-have game you need to get on PlayStation 4.

Go and play Overwatch! It's a great game that does something really different with the genre creating a really cool unique experience that somehow feels different everytime you play.

Overall, ACORN Tactics is a fun turn-based strategy release on Nintendo Switch with some pros and cons that you're either going to love or hate. There's more than enough content to justify its asking price, but the way how the game starts a bit on the slow side during the first handful of stages and the high difficulty of later stages might rub some people the wrong way. But if you stick with it you'll find a solid indie release that is worth a shot.
The developers have clearly put a lot of love, time and research into the game and that shows very clearly as you play. A few minor issues, aside, this is a PS4 gem that is a must-have and which you should check out right now.
Personally, as fun as the gameplay is, as great as the controls are, and as good as the graphics are, this roguelike is a bit hit and miss. All in all, this is an okay game for playing in short bursts
Aven Colony is a game that definitely has a steep learning curve since there's a ton of things to learn and many actions you can take. But if you give it a chance and stick with it you'll find a fun city building sim/strategy game with many hours of content to complete that is worth a shot.
Overall, DOOM VFR is fun once you get the hang of things and as long as you're in the zone, it's an entertaining experience. It has its quirks, but it has more to do with how PS VR is setup and how it works and not with the game itself. You're looking at around 4-5 hours for completing the game, which is definitely a nice chunk of gameplay for a virtual reality release, but your mileage with the game will depend a lot on if you're someone who suffers from motion sickness when slowly moving through a VR experience or not, since the speed at which you need to teleport/move and shoot at demons can certainly push you closer to the “I'm not feeling so well” edge, so do keep that in mind if you're considering getting this one!
Dragon's Lair Trilogy is a solid collection on PlayStation 4 that you need to get, especially if you're a fan of the three games in this set, a fan of animation, or if you're looking for a type of game that we don't usually get a chance to play in current generation system.
If you're looking for a hack and slash action release, and don't mind the extremely sensitive in-game camera and occasional game crash, then Heart and Slash might be what you're looking for. Hopefully, the game is soon patched so that it can offer a smoother experience for players! [Tracey separately reviewed the PS4 (8) and Switch (7) versions. Their scores have been averaged.]
Xeodrifter was a lot of fun on Nintendo 3DS when I played it for the first time, and it was still a fun experience on Nintendo Switch – so much that I ended up playing the whole thing from start to finish over a couple of nights. Searching high and low as you unlock new skills to try and find the hidden health power-ups to increase my health bar and gun power-ups to customize my gun with faster bullets, more bullets, a wave beam style option and more is just as addictive as it was the first time, so if you haven't played this game be sure to pick it up today on Nintendo Switch.
We would have loved to have more options so that we could select the mini-games that are more fun and focus on those. We also think that the game could definitely benefit from some DLC so that more mini-games are available and thrown into the mix. The Chaos game modifier was a great feature, and we always used it to have more fun with this release.
The Station is an excellent walking simulator on PlayStation 4 and a solid first release from a new studio. This release has a lot to offer, even if it's a short one. I liked my time with the game, and I look forward to seeing what the studio has to offer in a new story, hopefully on PlayStation 4.
I'm definitely a fan of puzzle games, and I liked what Link-a-Pix Color is doing on the Nintendo 3DS, bringing bite-sized and not so bite-sized puzzles developed by Conceptis Ltd for me to solve at home or on the go. I had a lot of fun with this new game from Lightwood Games, and, hopefully, we get a new game from them on Nintendo Switch soon.
Dynasty Warriors 9 is definitely a new start for the series and a big change to what we are used to playing in a Musou game. The new open world design completely changed how I approached the game, and I was thrilled to be done with the old menu system. Unfortunately, the graphics haven't changed much other than some visual improvements here and there.At the end of the day though I need to ask myself if I have had fun with the release, and the answer is a big yes. There are still things they can improve for the next entry in this long-running and beloved series, so here's hoping Dynasty Warriors 10 knocks it out of the park.
I had a lot of fun with Aegis Defenders. I really liked the action platforming elements of the game, but what surprised me the most were tower defense sections. Setting up my defenses and planning for an attack is very fun, creating a unique and cohesive experience I wasn't expecting. Play this game on PS4 right now since it has a lot of fun to offer.
The wait for The Fall Part 2: Unbound has been long, but I'm happy to report that it has definitely been worth it. It is a bigger and better game that improves on everything its prequel did before and then some. The only complaint I can find about this sequel is that the wait for the third episode in the series is going to be a long one and I want to see where the story ends.
The Longest Five Minutes condenses the overall JRPG experience into bite-sized chapters that are a joy to play. Going over your memories leading up to the final boss fight is a very interesting way of framing the way a JRPG would usually play while turning the whole thing upside-down and then turning it round and around, giving us a game that is a must-play on Nintendo Switch. This is a great game from NIS America, and I look forward to seeing what other quirky games they give us this year on Nintendo's hybrid console.
The two niggles I have about the game are that sometimes hit detection seems to be a tad off, and that items on the ground that are dropped by the enemies you defeat disappear too fast so you need to either focus on grabbing items as soon as they're dropped or on defeating all the enemies around you.
