PlayStation Vita – Play Critically

Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope Review

Shovel of Hope captivates me with retro platforming nostalgia.

Rogue Legacy’s foundational gameplay loop makes it a must-play indie action-RPG.

Cosmic Star Heroine is a great combination of old school aesthetic sensibilities and new school design philosophies.

Guacamelee! is a fantastic change of pace for players who want to add some beat ’em up spice to their non-linear platforming.

Gun Crazy is structurally incoherent and a visual mess. I can’t recommend it at any price.

If I were to forget why non-linear platformers are my favorite videogames, I would only need to sit down with Xeodrifter.

SteamWorld Heist has the potential for fun shooting and challenging strategy but is occasionally undermined by randomization and repetition.

SteamWorld Dig 2 is a phenomenal example of how to craft a sequel.

SteamWorld Dig’s humble approach to indie platforming makes it an enjoyable choice to fill an evening or two.

Access Denied is an adequate test of problem solving skills that fills a free evening.
