Hollow Knight  |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
|
Metroid-style platform explore 'em up with cute cartoony graphics. The sprawling levels mean it can be a little too easy to get lost and the combat gets a tad repetitive, but a good example of the genre...it's just nowhere near as good as the Metroid games on the GBA. |

| Alienation |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
|
Overhead shooter that's essentially Gauntlet with nobs on. Quite good fun and the RPG style levelling up adds replay value to the levels but like a lot of indie titles on the PS4 it's a little lacking in depth. If you like the similar Alien Breed it's worth a look but Killzone Liberation on the PSP does rather more with a lot less processing power. |

"Resogun"
|
|
In 1995 Super Dropzone on the SNES was basically Defender: The Next Generation and Resogun is essentially Super Dropzone: The Next Generation. Explosions galore and frantic alien-shooting/human rescuing with a pleasingly old school visual style, this would be fantastic stuff on a handheld but on the PS4 I expect a little more. Good fun is short bursts but a little lacking in substance. |

Hotel Luigi-O
|
|
Way back in 2001, Nintendo launched a new ‘Mario’ spin-off series starring the green-clad younger brother of the duo, Luigi. In this new series, ‘Luigi’s Mansion,’ not only did Nintendo produce a new IP by expanding on their existing IP, but they began exploring uncharted genre territory – for Nintendo, that is – by creating a Survival Horror game that was light enough on both the S... |

| Dead Cells |
Rating of: 4.5/5
|
Rogue-Like Done Right
|
|
Dead Cells is a rogue-like game that is done right and well and provides excellent game play and replayability.
The simplest way to describe Dead Cells is simply that it's a metroidvania that has rogue-like elements that uses retro graphics. But, there's so much to this game than that. All of those elements are woven together so well that the game keeps you coming back for more long after ... |

Yin, Yang, Yu
|
|
As Globalization sees China and Western Civilization interacting more frequently than the world has seen since the height of the Silk Road era, both sides have ample opportunities to swap not only Filthy Lucre, but cultural materials. While Mainland China and its totalitarian rulership in the Communist Party have very little interest in such exchanges, former Western colonies like Hong Kong and T... |

Join the Russian Underground Today
|
|
Metro 2033 is the brainchild of 4A Games ( Oles' Shiskovtsov and Aleksandr Maksimchuk) who left GSC Game World to develop the series based on the novels by Dmitry Glukhovsky. It manages to rise above the standard FPS fare by providing a decent story, great atmosphere and generally strong overall performance. It was good enough that it has spawned two sequels as well as Redux version that updates ... |

| South Park: The Fractured But Whole |
Rating of: 4/5

The Franchise Strikes Back
|
|
In 2014, South Park creators teamed with Obsidian / THQ (and later, Ubisoft) to deliver The Stick of Truth, which mixed RPG with South Park to hilarious results. The game was like playing an actual South Park episode. The Fractured but Whole is followup - with Ubisoft once again taking the reigns while also shaking up the combat. Plus, it leaves the fantasy setting behind for superheroes and the ... |
