4: It's About Time – Gameplay Launch Trailer
A sequel to the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (you can read our review of that here), Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time has players navigating levels filled to the brim with enemies, crates, wumpa fruit and hazards.

Cybershock: Future Parkour Review
Parkour action meets outrun aesthetics with Javier Federico Goldschmidt, Matias Juvé, and Tomas Peters' new title Cybershock: Future Parkour. Mirror's Edge, Dying Light, and even Cloudbuilt have set the standard for the genre – can Cybershock keep up?
Cybershock: Future Parkour Review
Set inside the computer program Cybershock.exe, players must navigate their way through 12 different levels (and a tutorial) in a race to beat the virus. A number of core modules must be destroyed, and this virus is a speedy one that can ruin those that are too slow to stop it. This world certainly doesn't make things easy for you – everything is set above a bottomless pit, and only through the power of running and gunning can players get to their goal and prevent things from getting any worse.
Thankfully, the player is properly equipped for the game. In addition to a double jump and slide ability, he also packs a gun that can be used to blast blocks, enemy cores, walls, targets, and any other threats that stand in his way. He's also a speedy fellow, with the power to run against select walls for an indefinite period of time, transport himself through the use of special targets, bounce across pads, and more.
It's just a shame that the controls aren't quite fit for the job. Most of these obstacles have a very deliberate way of navigating them, with players locked into certain movement patterns until the area is over. Even something as simple as a slide underneath a wall caused a rigid movement that felt unnatural. When paired with other factors like blocks that push the player back and wall runs that have players ending up on the other side of its world, it becomes more than an annoyance. These problems happen a bit too often to be ignored, and ultimately dampen the overall feel of the game.
The presentation is somewhat lacking as well. Though the outrun aesthetics with the neon colors and synthwave music are on point and capture the feel of the style quite well, the aesthetics of each level are also not that varied. Each stage looks the same, and even the music is similar. There is an especially big problem with the motion blur in each of the stages – when running, it distorts the viewpoint and distorts the world. Put simply, it shouldn't be there.
Those that complete each level can put their name in and see what the fastest times are for each stage. Completing its gauntlet of stages does not take too long, but other than some achievements for level completion and other factors, there's little to keep players going. There's also achievements like "my onw orb" that have blatant typos – it's certainly a bad look for the title.
The stylish outrun aesthetics simply aren't enough to hide the lack of polish in Cybershock: Future Parkour. The mechanics of this title have been done better elsewhere, and those who have played titles like Mirror's Edge will be disappointed with its overall rigidity.

A bite sized tale designed for those with all sorts of appetites, Octavi Navarro's new point-and-click title The Supper has players feeding three guests that have dropped in. Things aren't what they seem at this seaside tavern – should players see where this journey leads, or is it best to close up shop?
The Supper Review
This short yet sweet title puts the focus on Ms. Appleton, the host of the Joyous Lobster Inn. She's in less than stellar spirits, with both of her legs replaced with peg legs and an absolutely dour expression throughout. As she lives her life, she hears voices in her head that guide her along her way, whispering in her ear exactly what she should do next. With little else to live for, she hinges on their every word.
This voice soon tells her of three patrons that are coming for a meal. Carrying a mysterious chest with them, it's up to the player to whip up the most unique of dishes for them, all paired with a heaping helping of "special sauce."
The game intentionally remains cryptic to establish its story, but this mystery works in its favor. An ominous vibe persists throughout, and as players progress, their suspicions and fears quickly ring true as they see what its world really is like. There's not a lot of dialog in this title – most exchanges are one-sided diatribes with the voice Ms. Appleton keeps hearing – but it still works well nonetheless. Just expect this title to follow the old vantage of "show, don't tell."
Gameplay in The Supper hits the right notes of a point-and-click adventure title, although things come across as a bit rudimentary due to its small scale. Players will navigate its world by clicking on objects, and can also grab select items from its world. In order to progress, certain items must be combined and used in select areas, with a number of one-use items making up the bulk of the title. The recipes players whip up call for select ingredients, but don't expect anything on the level of complexity of a LucasArts title from the 90s – this is one title that most players can figure out without too much trouble.
Of course, the best point-and-click titles on the market titles on the market today stand out with their stellar sprite work and design. Thankfully, The Supper follows in the footsteps of these greats. Characters take up a lot of real estate, things ebb and flow, and everything stands out with a fair amount of detail. Put simply, pixel fanatics will enjoy what they see here.
It's just a shame that everything is a bit on the short side. Though the plot wraps itself in a scant 20 minutes, more time building up its world or the history of Ms Appleton would have been appreciated, but this can also be considered a plus, as it doesn't waste the player's time.
Much like a fine meal, The Supper leaves players craving more when all is said and done. Though it feels more like an appetizer than a full course, what is present here hits all the right notes for the point-and-click genre.
