At first, I liked the unique style and setting of Deep Ones, but the more I played, the more I realized there were some issues with the game. The controls felt too stiff, the time it takes you to fire more than once is too long, and the exploration as a whole felt too long and uninspired for long segments of the game. This is an inexpensive game that might be fun for you, but be ready for an experience that could end up feeling boring and frustrating.
PSN Game Price: $24.99
It's definitely a game that you will enjoy playing with your kids as they get to learn the basics of how a point and click adventure game works.
My conclusion on the game is that despite the bugs and issues mentioned above, when everything comes together, it plays fairly well and is enjoyable for the first few hours or so. The title gets dry real quick, however, unless you have other people to play with. Points for improvement would be the inclusion of a tutorial at the start and maybe adding a new game mode or two to keep things interesting. The team at MunkyFun has said it is looking into bringing online play into League of War: VR Arena, so you know they are indeed listening to their player base!
Squareboy vs Bullies: Arena Edition is an entertaining release that offers some mindless beat ‘em up action. It is probably best played with younger players since it's not a challenging release for those who are more experienced in the genre. It's a bit weird that you end up beating up bullies as a way of teaching them to stop bullying others, but it's the thought that counts, right?
In the end, Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle is a fun fighter with some depth past the bullet-hell nature of its battles. Sure, the graphics are nothing to write home about and the game's music could have used some extra variety, but battles (especially against human opponents) are interesting and different from other games out there. In the end, this is a budget release at $29.99, and it offers more than enough content to justify that price tag. If after checking out the game's trailer and reading this review you think the game is not for you, then it's probable that nothing will change your mind.
A repetitive dungeon-crawler that fits its price
Drive Girls is a weird release, and while I congratulate Aksys Games for bringing it over here, in the end, I can't help but wonder how this game will be received by gamers this late in the PlayStation Vita life. The gameplay is hard to pick up, and the camera was unhelpful due to the lack of an auto-targeting system. The races, which are the other part of the game, feel too long and take place on bland tracks. The fan-service will certainly make some gamers happy, but this release is definitively not for everyone.
If you're a fan of blackjack and need to play a blackjack game on PlayStation 4, then this is what you need. But if blackjack is not your thing, of if you're someone who likes to play games online, then you should definitely avoid this one.
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.
While I did like the futuristic cyberpunk feel of the game, and the graphics are quite nice and stylish, but the bugs, the lack of a proper map, and the control scheme get in the way of what could have been a solid PS4 release. Perhaps a patch or two down the road might fix the game, but right now I can’t recommend this one.
If you are a fan of “walking simulator games, you'll probably enjoy Neptune Flux, even if it is short and does lacks the story depth that you find in games such as Gone Home. With the way your field of view is limited since you're deep under water, playing the game on PS VR is definitely the way to go.
In the end, your mileage with Kill Strain might vary. Did I have fun? Sometimes when everything click. Is there a lot of changes that need to be implemented into the game? Defintely. Sure, it might not be the best MOBA on PS4, but with a few patches to fix things, this could be so much more. We’ll see what the next couple of months bring for the game.
Bob's adventure is an interesting one, full of genuinely clever moments, often funny and with some cool tracks interspersed into the otherwise silent world. But these can't save the game from some absolute, teeth gnashing difficult moments.
The game is definitively a unique experience, and if you're looking for something “alternative,” I recommend you also check out Far From Noise.
One More Dungeon is a roguelike that offers a lot including bosses, secrets, decent loot, skills to upgrade and the many mutators that can be added.
2D Metroidvania that is a bit lacking
Hardway Party is a fun arcade-style game
For me, however, there were too much over-sexualization of the main female characters which eventually warded me off, but if this is what you’re looking for, you’ll have a lot for your money
Desert Child is certainly a different type of release that puts you in the shoes of a young guy who must find the balance between racing (work) and fixing his vehicle and eating (life). This release is not for everyone, but it is still enjoyable as a unique style of experience.
