I was a huge fan of Guacamelee and had been excited to play Severed ever since it was announced. Unfortunately, I had to wait longer than others to play Severed due to different release dates in different PSN regions. Luckily, it was well worth the wait. On paper, Severed shouldn't work, it is a first person dungeon crawler which uses the touch screen for combat. However, Drinkbox delivers an unforgettable experience by creating a melancholy environment that uses exploration to tell its story. Combat is surprisingly fun and the severing mechanic encourages you to be thoughtful as you approach combat as to maximize your resources. In terms of length, I would have preferred more time in this world, but Severed is by no means too short. Even though the game is now available on iOS, I would strongly urge every Vita owner to support Drinkbox and buy Severed!

Wolfenstein: The New Order is an excellent single-player first-person shooter. The setting, an alternative 1960s were the **** won the Second World War, is quite compelling but, the story in that setting is a little lacking and some times creeps into melodrama. However, Wolfenstein nails its gameplay with a combination of stealth and shooting with a wide variety of upgradable weapons. I played on the highest difficulty setting Uber and there were some frustrating bottlenecks that threw seemingly endless waves of enemies at me with scant resources to deal with them. I wish every game had the same collectible system as Wolfenstein. Pickup the collectible and it's yours, no need to hit the next check-point! Other reviews complaining about length must have played the game on a lower difficulty setting as I found the game to be just the right length for the challenge provided. I highly recommend Wolfenstein: The New Order!

I played this game as part of PlayStation Plus. I knew nothing about Gone Home other than the fact that It was considered "good" by some critics. Going into this game with few expectations allowed me to let the game speak for itself. Gone Home is fantastic! It is environmental story telling at its best; it alludes to events and allows you to piece everything together through discovery. The main narrative is spelled out clearly through journals you find strewn throughout the house, but there are plenty of other interesting stories tucked away in nooks and crannies. No game in recent memory has elicited such a range of emotions as Gone Home did. I cannot recommend Gone Home enough!
