When I ask my kids what score they'd give Knack 2 out of 10, they say "ten hundred out of ten" but for me the filler and occasional confusing section mean that it falls just short of joining the likes of Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank in the annals of 3D platforming history but it's still a solid, polished and thoroughly entertaining game.
Radial-G: Racing Revolved provides the kind of VR experience you were hoping for when you bought your PSVR. Strap in and hold on tight.
Despite the few flaws, once you've completed it, you're left with pleasant memories of a wonderful game. It certainly deserves a place in your collection of VR titles.
Chromagun wears its influences on its sleeve but fails to recreate the magic of its forebears.
Observer is a suave, confident cyber-punk adventure that starts strongly then loses its way before the credits roll
Songbringer is a super-tough, rewarding RPG that doesn't quite give enough
Just like the original, Nidhogg 2 is at its best when played in multiplayer, with little else to recommend it.
Forma.8 is a game that hit pretty much every platform over the course of the year, and now it's the turn of Nintendo's handheld hybrid Nintendo Switch. Does it translate? Well, yes dear reader, yes it does.
NeoCore's aRPG The Amazing Adventures of Van Helsing II has finally arrived on the PS4 and it's an enjoyable adventure but lacks polish and becomes a tad repetitive
The augments are fun to collect, and the bosses are a decent challenge but there isn't much to make you want to go back for more, especially with all that unnecessary Smart Matter Paraphernalia. Take that away and you'll have a much more fun and intense shooter.
The blue blur returns in Sonic Mania, the hedgehog's crowning achievement
The Enigma is an explosive start to Telltale's Batman: The Enemy Within. Apart from a handful of unusual character interactions that didn't feel like genuine reactions to the situation and some emotional moments that fail to land, this episode is action packed and once again boasts a tonne of originality.
I've said it a hundred times in TellTale reviews in the past but the first episode of the season is usually always its weakest, and as such the seasons tends to get stronger as they continue. Ergo, I remained optimistic for Episode 2. I'm glad I did, 'Giant Consequences' is a far more cohesive, fun experience, even if it still isn't completely essential.
Agents of Mayhem is a whole lot of fun but we've seen it all before.
LawBreakers is an expertly crafted and deep hero shooter that's an original alternative to the existing crop.
The Girl and The Robot have made their way to the PS4 and it's a promising start for a fledgling developer
Neon Drive is one of the best music rhythm games on the PS4 because it does the unexpected.
Ironcast has proved once again that ports are nothing but a plus for Nintendo Switch.
487. That's the number of times I died in my first playthrough of Deadcore. It has been years since I've wrestled with a game as much as I have here. My hands were sweaty, my head was bobbing up and down as I moved on screen and I regularly shouted profanity at the TV when I died cheaply. Deadcore is a test of your reflexes, memory, persistence, observation, determination and patience and, if you like to be pushed to your limits, you might just like it.
Mr Shifty is an intense and gratifying experience that has its tongue pressed firmly into its cheek. It's not quite on the same level as some of its contemporaries but it makes the most of what makes it unique and introduces new ideas from the ground floor to the penthouse. The occasional section of trial-and-error and the mountain-esque difficulty spike towards might be enough to make some players rage quit, but if you can push through the frustrations, there's a funny, exhilarating game to be found underneath.
