PlayDevil has posted an in-depth review of the new PSN game "Topatoi".
Here's snip:
"The gameplay in Topatoi is essentially that of an average 3D platformer. However, for much of the game, everything is so linear as to make the game essentially 2D. That's not necessarily a bad thing for much of it, as it helps remain focused, especially as like many old-school platformers, there is a time-limit on each level."
More love for smaller developers.

The recent love-in between Sony and its large (and growing) stable of independent developer partners looks set to continue. The PS Blog has just announced a new round of sales, this time focussed on independently developed games, starting tomorrow.
The first of the bi-weekly sales will see a trio of platformers discounted. Pid, Topatoi and Zack Zero will all be available from Wednesday 5th June at discounted rates.
Pid is down from €9.99/£7.99 to just €5.99/£4.79 and will also have a further 30 per cent lopped off if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber. Topatoi is cut from €9.99/£7.99 down to €3.99/£3.19 with a further 10 per cent for PS Plussers. Zack Zero is down to just €2.99/£2.39 from €9.99/£7.99, with another 25 per cent off if you subscribe to Plus.
The special offers will all run for a duration of two weeks before being replaced with new offers on indie games.
Coplant: The Games are a Boolat house software development born in 2001 in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine. After you have created and employed a large number of locations for what concerns the area of the former URRS and have produced some PC title, decided to move to the console market, thanks to the possibilities offered by the platforms of next generation consoles like the Playstation Network.
PSLS:
Difficulty gripes aside, overall this game is an impressive package for only $13.99/€9.99. There are unlockable splitscreen multiplayer games, as well as online scoreboards that add to this title's replayability. Pile on decently challenging trophies, and this is one platformer that should keep you occupied for a while to come.
If you think it's hard to play now, then you should have played it before the patch for the game.
