Push Square: "Matterfall’s not the best game Housemarque will release in 2017 – but then, the virtually flawless Nex Machina was always going to be a tough act to follow. There’s a lot to like about this side-scroller’s pulsating platforming levels, and when it all comes together you’ll feel like you’re on top of the world. An unorthodox control scheme means that it’s not the most accessible game, but once you slip into a rhythm it feels right. Unfortunately, it can be hard to stay in the groove, and while those looking for a challenge will undoubtedly relish the practice required to master this menacing sci-fi affair, it will put others off."

Amazon has discounted several PlayStation 4 digital games by as much as half off, including Blood Bowl 2, Layers Of Fear: Inheritance and Matterfall.

GameCrate: " The sci-fi is heavy in this edition of Play These Indies. This time, we'll be taking a look at the on-rails action of Gridd Retroenhanced and, not one, but two Housemarque titles, Matterfall and Nex Machina."

Player 2 takes on the latest bullet-hell shooter from arcade masters Housemarque. Does it live up to their impressive legacy?
