During Sony’s E3 Press Conference, one of the more surprising announcements was the reveal (and simultaneous release) of Entwined on the PlayStation 4. This was by no means an announcement from nowhere — early on in April, Sony trademarked the name of the title (along with KILL STRAIN). Though MONG's team took their guesses of what Entwined was going to turn out to be, no one was able to predict the Flower-eque entangled love story between a bird and a fish. How does Pixelopus’ fledgling game hold up against the indie competition?
Pretty games aren't always great ones
I wanted to love it so much, Trico was great when everything worked right.
But I swear a good third of my time was spent falling or stumbling because the camera just wasn't good and the kid stumbles a lot if you hit a wall or big rock wrong
I may get downvoted to hell but I love the concept of Team Ico games but I don't think they play very well. So I play and love many games that kinda fit in that genre? Majin & The Forsaken Kingdom, Brothers a Tale of Two Sons, Lost in Rain, Lost in Shadow, RiME,Journey, Abzu and others that fall in that simpler but emotionally driven games. I am hoping the remake of Sotc fixes a lot of the issues I had with the original on PS2 which still sits on my shelf. I want to like them but the gameplay is so jank.
Yeah I tried to get into it but I couldn't. The controls were super sluggish, and it looked like a ps2 game to me. I didn't get too far. I'm sure it is a good game to some people, but it just wasn't for me.
The last Guardian was brilliant. Another masterpiece from Team ico and another reason why the ps4 is the best console.😚
When the camera kept looking right up Trico's ass I also thought, 'what a masterpiece'.
Incredible game. Most people didn't get that Trico and controlling it was one of the larger puzzel designs. Anyone that had ever owned a pet really got this as well it seems from conversations I've had on the subject. Loved it. That team deserves so much repespect for being so daring in their game designs
I enjoyed it somewhat but the controls were terrible and Trico would only respond half the time.
Despite the flaws in Ryse and The Order... i enjoyed both and would welcome sequels.
I completely disagree...last guardian on the ps4 pro actually had SMOOTH gameplay...also if you understand what the game is about, the gameplay is very interesting...
It you only want twitchy, shooters or arcade games then you wouldn't' understand.
Also gravity rush 2 had great gameplay...It's supposed to be sorta awkward for a reason.
Gravity Rush 2 plays better but has terrible mission designs. Gravity Rush 1 played worse but much better mission design. It's such a shame. I was looking forward to it.

Indie Games are everywhere you look and when competing against mainstream games, these titles often get thrown by the way side. Here are a few titles to check out:
Seems to be a mix of reviews on this one ranging from great to awful. It's sitting at 61 or average on metacritic right now. Personally, it looked kinda cool but what I saw didn't make me want to rush out and buy it or anything.
It's good but not amazing. I beat it in about an hour, maybe an hour and a half. There are some additional challenge modes, but I haven't played around with them.
For me, one of the things I noticed was how well it worked as a textbook for introducing new gameplay concepts organically. Each level introduce new concepts that built on previous ones and were integrated slowly over the level so that you naturally ramped up your ability. Not surprised it was a game designed by game dev students.
Pros:
Soothing music/visuals
Accessible
Fairly unique amongst ps4 offerings
Cons:
Short for cost
Haven't figured out the appeal of the post-level dragon segments
Easy
3rd game revealed at the 2014 Sony E3 press event turns out to be crap.
Says it all.
