Best described as a mix between an endless runner and a rail shooter, it features fast and furious action. Lost Wing has been in Early Access on Steam for a while now, and this BoxFrog Games-developed title is now coming to PlayStation 4 thanks to 2Awesome Studio. Definitely recommended if you’d like to play something a little different and enjoy watching a good detective thriller.

There’s an excellent soundtrack supporting the game though, which certainly adds to the experience much in the way a good music track for a movie does. Sure, visually Rainswept looks more like something that could have also been developed for mobile platforms rather than the gorgeous 3D of games like Blacksad (or indeed the Telltale games), but Frostwood’s adventure is so rich in atmosphere that you’ll soon forget that it’s not trying to look “next gen” in any way. The shifts in perspective and the mystery greatly add to the storytelling, as do the moody and atmospheric visuals. It’s easy to see where all the critical acclaim and positive player feedback for the game came from, because the way the narrative is delivered is absolutely great – perhaps more engaging than what you can experience in a Telltale game, which has become a bit of a standard in the narrative adventure genre in the past decade or so. The perspective in the game regularly shifts as well, as you not only explore this unsolved case but also dive into the former lives of the two victims at the heart of it. The game is a detective thriller that focuses on Michael Stone, who heads to a town called Pineview in order to help solve the mystery of a dead couple rumored to have had relationship struggles. Steeped in the long tradition of narrative-driven adventure games, Rainswept was very successful when it launched on Steam a year and a half ago, and now we’re able to play it using a PlayStation 4. Originally developed for the PC by Frostwood Interactive, Rainswept is one of those games that demonstrates how the indie scene can bring titles you wouldn’t normally expect on a PlayStation to a console screen near you.
