TerRover is a delightful puzzle platform game from Creat Studios, a developer that has rapidly become a PS3 and PlayStation Network expert with quality releases like SkyFighter, Smash Cars and Digger HD releasing in quick succession. TerRover, however, could just be one of the studio’s best, most polished and well-rounded titles to date, and is certainly my personal favourite of the company’s current selection of games available on the PS Store.

What exactly is a ‘puzzle platform game,’ though? As far as TerRover is concerned, it’s a game in which you need to methodically make your way through an environment using all of your available skills – you can’t simply race through a level and be done with it (Sonic, I’m looking at you!).
