All in all, Archangel is an impressive on rails shooter that feels right at home on PlayStation VR. I initially thought the game was not going to be something I'd dig, but its immersive storytelling and action combo kept me busy until the end. Skydance Interactive have done a great job with this one, and I honestly can't wait to see what they develop next.
Right now there is a distinct lack of this type of game in the PlayStation vR lineup, with most companies leaning toward the "experience" type of releases, which isn't a bad thing per se, instead of focusing on how creativity can innnovate in gameplay thanks to what the virtual reality hardware can offer. So if you're looking for a clever, colorful and fun puzzler on PS VR, you should definitely try Fantastic Contraption!
There are also some nice touches to the game like the duels mini-game and the debates you can take part of. There is a lot on offer and a ton to learn from the main game, but if you're a fan of the series, then you're going to love Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII. I am greatly enjoying my time with the game, so I can easily recommend it. And if you like the main game, then check soon for my review for the available DLC: the Fame and Strategy Expansion Pack!
We both had fun with Warlocks vs. Shadows. After playing the game for a while, trying the characters, leveling up and improving their skills, we still came back for more. Some of you might feel it's a bit repetitive, but the overall enemy variety, leveling up system and looting system make for a fun 2D experience.
Codemasters delivered a solid game that's a lot of fun to play. They used their experience in racing games, but not in the classic rally formula for which most gamers know them these days. With the game being mostly online, there won't be any race that's identical to the previous one, which makes up for some great replay value.
All in all, this is a great interactive experience from Castle Step Games, and I look forward to seeing what they will produce next.
Overall I liked this episode which sets the base for a new season. The episode felt a little slow, but it ends on an epic cliffhanger (which I won't spoil here), and I can't wait to play the next episode!
As good as it was 20 years ago!
I and Me is a fun puzzle platformer that will keep you busy for a handful of hours as you try to solve its little over 90 puzzles. It's clever gameplay mechanic makes it feel fresh and welcoming on the Nintendo Switch, and being able to play at home or on the go and hitting a button to suspend the action so that you can continue playing when possible and being back in the game in a couple of seconds make this an excellent pick up and play option for the Switch.
The Town of Light is a harsh horror game where the horror is very real – it is something that could certainly happen to us or to a loved one. What Renée had to go through, and how it changed her and made her into the person she is in the present day is something that you certainly will not forget.
Overall, I had a blast with Mighty Gunvolt Burst. It's a very polished 2D action platformer with some fun level designs and mighty bosses to battle. I hope Inti Creates releases some extra stages and bosses by way of DLC because I can't wait to play more of Mighty Gunvolt Burst!
Bulb Boy is a charming, dark and fun point and click adventure game on Nintendo Switch that is short and to the point without overstaying its welcome. If you're a fan of the genre and dig the game's cartoony graphics, which offer a nice contrast to what is actually going on, then I recommend you give this one a go. The one complain I might have is that everything is a hue of green with a ton of black (except for when you die, since everything will switch from green to red), but that's about it. Bulb Boy is a game that is a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch, and I look forward to seeing what the team at Bulbware has to offer next.
I wasn't sure what to expect from Tour de France 2017 since I had never really played a bicycle racing simulator before. What I found was a very interesting title that piqued my interest for many hours. Biking through the beautiful vistas that the game has to offer is a great experience, and the biking had a really interesting gameplay mechanic.
I had a lot of fun with Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception. It features a very nice art style and striking cutscenes, which are always a big plus for visual novels, not to mention a solid story that will keep you engaged as you move forward. It's strategy, and tactics gameplay mechanics are a nice counterpart to the visual novel side of things, with a deep and rich battle system in which every choice you make can have a considerable impact on a battle's outcome if you play your cards right. I highly recommend this visual novel/tactical RPG on PS Vita and look forward to playing its sequel later in the year!
I'm not a fan of the teleporting mechanics but found that after a while I got used to it, but the lack of free roam and just specific points to teleport to kinda kills it for me. If you have run out of PS VR experiences and this one is on sale, then you'll probably be able to justify the purchase. But as is, you'd be better off spending your hard-earned money on something else.
I highly recommend Spellspire. The hand-drawn graphics are charming, the music is quite enjoyable, and there is a good variety of enemies for you to face. It's a game that is easy to pick up and play, and, who knows, you might even learn a new word or two in each floor you complete!
Overall Daganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is a lot of fun. It looks and plays so much better on the PS4 than it does on PS Vita, and it felt as if the shooting mechanics have been improved over the original Vita release. If you're a fan of the Danganronpa series, then I highly recommend you get this one right now. Sure, it's set in a different genre, but the many nods to the first two games in the series as well as the expansion on the Danganronpa universe's lore make this an entry worthy of the Danganronpa name.
Overall, Deformers is a fun and cute release that could use a considerable boost to its online community to get things going. It's a great online party game with a lot to offer, so hopefully Ready At Dawn keeps working on this one as they patch in additional content here and there. There's a solid foundation here that would greatly benefit from a larger pool of players.
Root Letter is a very good visual novel on PlayStation 4 and PS Vita that will keep you engaged from start to finish. It's premise and story are great, while its gameplay mechanics (that will remind you of entries in the Ace Attorney series) will make for a fun experience. If you're a visual novel fan, I highly recommend that you buy Root Letter!
The latest release from Housemarque is a solid action-packed twin-stick bullet hell shooter you have to play on PS4. The simple to learn but hard to master gameplay mechanics, the fast-paced action, the hidden sections and the deadly bosses in the game will keep you busy for hours as you aim to improve your overall score for each run. Trophy hunters will be playing for a while before they make a dent on the trophy list, making it the perfect challenge for those who want to prove how good they really are.
