Now, what do I spend my remaining £3.When it comes to listing the best PSP games on the planet, you need to speak to people who have used this portable handheld console until their fingers have gone numb and their hands have become sore. And best of all, it uses the d-pad and a single button on the PS3 controller (plus L1/R1 to swap shape) so it’s even enjoyable to control for those of us who hate the Dual Shock 3. It’s short, and I spent between two and three hours on it, but it’s definitely well worth playing. Not a single part of the narration affects how the game plays at all, but the funny characters that it draws out of the shapes you control adds a massive layer of purpose to the game, elevating it above the “drab puzzle platformer” it appears to be.

They all have distinct personalities, egos and fears. The running narration of the progress, feelings and story behind all these little rectangles.

It’s not a bad game, just there’s no depth and very little challenge.īut there’s another part to the game. The graphics are plain, the puzzles mostly simple, and sound effects are almost nonexistent. Thomas, a rectangle, and various other rectangles with different names and various physical “powers” (able to jump higher, double jump, have reversed gravity, act as a trampoline, etc.) have to reach matching rectangular door “portals” across about 80 levels of platforming. So Thomas Was Bought, played, enjoyed, and completed. Until I realised I had just over six quid in my PSN account and Thomas Was Alone went on sale for about £2.39 or something.Īnd I wanted to spend my PSN “cash” before Sony stole it again (if you don’t spend it after a certain amount of time, Sony just take it from you – already had that happen once), of course. Sadly, it only hit the PS3 (and Vita, I think), rather than any console I actually use, so I left it.

I thought about getting it on Steam, but then I remembered – I don’t play PC games – so waited until a console release. Thomas Was Alone was something I did want to play.
