A sequence of boring dating situations with mostly dull dialogue choices. The two chapters as a female character are just as disappointing.

Will there ever be a good Bond game again? With Legends, new lows will be reached. A lot of potential shines through, but in the end the poor visuals, the useless stealth mechanics and the sluggish controls gain the upper hand.

Neither visuals nor controls of this once epic adventure are optimized for the tablet. Add to that numerous bugs and crashes and the only advice that I can give you, is to stay away from this.

It can be very entertaining like its predecessors. But while there you could focus on rescuing civilians here the game needs to be rescued and revitalized. Too many bugs and crashes keep the motivation down.

I have to admit: the first five minutes are fun. You can’t escape the surreal and morbid fascination to operate on the helpless virtual patients. But even that won’t keep you coming back once you start getting frustrated about the careless controls or the bugs and freezes.

Holy hedgehog, what have they done to you? Sonic hit another low. The fights are monotonous, the puzzles don’t deserve the name. Add to that framerate issues, an unreliable camera and other technical faults. Did I forget something? Yes. This isn’t entertaining. Not at all.

Even if all the systems would work, this would be a mediocre and shallow Fallout experience. With all the bugs, inconsistencies and technical problems this is little more than a post-apocalyptic mess.

Wow. This can't be happening - Yuji Naka at his worst. Even the weaker Sonic games feel solid compared to this. Visually not appealing - no, let me rephrase that: plain ugly and "blessed" with fidgety controls, I see no reason why anybody would spend time with this.

An already sub-par racing game is even worse on Switch. The whole experience suffers from technical limitations of the hardware.

You fight through ugly visuals and repetitive battles just to find yourself in the overpriced real currency store.

What the…? The original fascination we had with the franchise as a well rounded karaoke party game is gone. From all that was good almost nothing remains. I want my old SingStar back.

At first it looks like a dream come true for oldschool gamers who grew up with Metroid, Turrican or Contra. But I fails to deliver at all ends.

Numerous bugs, sloppy controls and shallow dialogue make this a very frustrating experience.

If you yearn for the “variety” of the Agricultural Simulator while you play Harvest Moon, something has gone wrong. Once quite entertaining this cocktail has been watered down beyond recognition. It feels like actual work – which is the wrong direction for a game.

Lost highlights are ever-the-same clashes of enormous fleet formations, during which tactical orders are either ignored or negated by mistakes in AI behavior. Lots of shortcomings as well as a number of bugs add to the frustration.

The filmmakers’ interactive experiment fails on a variety of levels: technically, mechanically and, most disappointing, when it comes to storytelling.

It doesn’t rock and it doesn’t shock. The biggest scare of Doorways is imagining that there will be more episodes like this one.

Very tragic: There is actually an interesting game hidden somewhere in Valkyria Revolution. Well, sorta - there would be, if all the elements and layers would be connected.

The story premise is interesting, but basically everything else about this game isn’t. It could have been a decent coop action adventure, but it lacks finesse on absolutely every level.

The visuals are a joke, AI and collision detection are bad, the motion control is horrific: What once was a really good game now is just a mere shadow of its former entertaining self.

It wants to be a survival tale. It wants to be a storytelling experience – but in the end it is neither. The survival aspect is one-dimensional, while the rest of the content seems disconnected. [Tested with Rift and Vive]

While the mech construction is almost decent the action is far from it. Visually and mechanically this is bottom tier.

Level- and mission-design are incredibly boring, the technical foundation is gruesome. Even if you replace the AI-idiots with human friends, the entertainment value is not worth mentioning.

Although it is not as bad as I initially feared and despite showing some interesting concepts, Battleship still is rubbish.

There are not enough building options, it lacks content in general and it is not very pretty.

Somewhere on the way the developers lost their grip on the game. What starts as an ambitious take on the works of David Lynch, slowly becomes boring button-push cinema.

The War Z might use the same elements that make DayZ an enthralling experience. But it puts them together so halfheartedly that you have to turn away in disbelief.

Both in terms of story-telling and mechanically a very superficial as well as drawn out experience.

As a free to play browser game Snipers would be okay – if Hydravision manages to wipe out all the bugs.

Kudos! It takes some effort to demolish a franchise – even if it was mediocre at best. The flight model is simple, the controls are gruesome and the visuals are as outdated as the planes you have to fly.

This is a perfect example for what is going wrong with Vita software: Instead of delivering a full experience like on stationary systems, you'll get a hollow shell. It doesn't make sense to remove the career mode as well as more than half of the official World Championship races just to deliver them as DLC over time. It's a shame because at its core WRC3 still is a decent game.

Simple shooting and VR can go together as for example Gunjack or Until Dawn proved. This, on the other hand, is underwhelming. Except for the well-executed archery mechanics, this lacks finesse and structure.

It looks stylish, but under the hood you’ll find one of the most boring rhythm games ever.

After so many delays my expectations were quite low. And even then what I had to witness is quite underwhelming. Broken quests, bad dialogue, a fight system from hell. Next to this, Risen 2 feels like a game of the year candidate. If it weren’t for the halfway interesting sea battles I would have gone back to Sid Meier’s Pirates much earlier.

This is one of the weakest shooting galleries for Sony’s VR system. Faced with technical problems throughout only the coop-option with another player shows occasional potential.

This is dull, repetitive and boring. If you want a brawler with retro look, you should try Scott Pilgrim instead.

Visually the reincarnation of the cult monsters is a disappointment, brought down by the sluggish controls and redundant mission design. Godzilla should have stayed in hibernation.

The foundation seems rock solid after the tutorial but the longer you play the bigger the cracks will become up to the point where you go back to your archive and take out Chris Sawyer’s Transport Tycoon.

EA continues where they left off last year: Recycling the old engine while only updating the rosters.

Visuals are not everything. But if they are substandard, the mechanics have to make up for them. And if they fail, you have a problem. Almost everywhere you can sense what Dark Shadows is supposed to achieve. But what you feel and see tells a different story.

This remake is more or less a disaster. Behind the crisp comic visuals mechanically almost nothing is left of what made this game a diamond in the rough back in the days.

Vita users deserve more than the half-baked conversions they get lately. This is a disgrace to the Call of Duty franchise. Both story and multiplayer feel unfinished.

Unfortunately, neither story nor VR implementation work in this space opera, that makes desperate efforts to please the EVE: Valkyrie clientele.

I wouldn’t have missed a thing if this “game” would have stayed away from consoles. This is just a boring, technically absolutely unimpressive simulation that fails at the only thing it should rather do well: Simulate.

This is more a tech demo than a coherent game - stay away until it is fixed.

Make no mistake: This is still better than Rebirth. Having said that, Foundation not only is flawed in so many areas, but also is light years away from the series former glory and definitely not a game to shorten the waiting time for Star Citizen...

In the end this is not much more than a demoversion with a hefty pricetag, a slap in the face of the devoted fan.

Also in the so called “Ultimate Edition” this combat flight sim results in a rather ugly crash landing.

The ingredients of this rail shooter are solid, but the final result is disappointing and does neither the source material nor the genre justice – especially on the 360 with its ridiculously loose stick controls.

Lust for Darkness kills the desire to play horror games.

There are a few puzzles worth cracking, but as the scheme behind most challenges can hardly be made out at the get-go, most solutions are revealed by annoying trial&error. Serious technical issues are the cherry on top of a badly executed game.

Quotation forthcoming.

This game is as dull as it is short, the mission design alternates between frustrating and uninspired. Against this even Ace Combat looks like a hardcore simulation.

That this cover shooter took a lot of inspiration from Gears of War, isn’t a bad thing. At least if you compared it to the poor visuals, the thin sound and the abysmal English localization that takes it far beyond trash.

Garden Witch Life has too little substance and too many problems. Big ouch, but some of it has potential.

The visuals would have been already outdated in the Dreamcast era, the gameplay is as monotonous as it can get. I don't think that Reggie Fils-Aime had this game in mind when he said that Microsoft and Sony need to react to Nintendo.

This is nothing but a failed arena racer that should be avoided even by the most undiscerning crash junkie.



Anyone on the lookout for technical problems might consider starting a list: Stuttering? Check. Tearing? Check. Pop-Ups? Check. Blurry textures? Check. Erroneous shadows? Check. Clipping? Check. Faulty collision detection? Check.

Arma Tactics is a catastrophe. Cover is ignored, enemies can shoot through walls and ceilings, they act like suicide commandos. Balancing is simply bad.

No. Just no. This is no modern Streets of Rage with the undead. For that it lacks esprit, dynamics, decent visuals or a multiplayer mode. Zombies alone don’t make a decent game.

Quotation forthcoming.

There is no comparison to its entertaining HD-brethren. The visuals are a joke, there are less puzzles and more senseless fighting – which is not entertaining at all, thanks to the imprecise controls. But even if you don't know the other versions, this is not worth the name.

Errors, bugs, frustration and cringe: Remothered Broken Porcelain is one of the worst horror games of the year.

Dare to fly? No! I won’t! You can’t force me!

I haven’t been this disappointed with a Nintendo game since Wii Music. Superficial tech demos camouflaged as mini games. If at all, the fun is very short-lived.

Games like this are the reason why movie tie-ins have a bad reputation. Technically sound, but otherwise redundant, boring and worse than the 2011 game Sanctum of Slime, while totally overpriced even the multiplayer aspect cannot save anything.

This is a big disappointment. Fighter Within fails not only as a game for motion recognition but also as an alternative for the likes of Tekken.

Lackluster Qix-clone that tries to make up for lack of ideas with naked manga girls.

Visually interesting and filled with good intentions this interactive experiment lacks depth and direction.

Controls are a mess, reliable targeting is almost impossible without auto aiming. If you like hunting games you should go for The Hunter 2013, if you like first person shooters in general there’s even more to choose from. Whatever you do, stay away from this!

No. That’s a no-go. Warhammer 40K is one of my favorite licenses. It’s scarred by brutal war. It depends on its stories, its atmosphere and its art design. This on the other hand offers nothing but utter disappointment.

There seems to be an unwritten law that boxing games and PC don’t mix well. And Real Boxing with its mobile origins is just another sad example.

With its focus on lackluster hack&slay fights and an interesting but totally underutilized narrative Gladiolus’ solo adventure doesn’t seem to fit into the big FF15 picture.

This is not just lazy, but insulting! This is nothing but pure recycling with no improvements. Just exchange some textures and models – maybe the players won’t notice. I hope they will.

I should have been warned by the logo on the box: Trickstar Games. The team that basically ruined the Jane's franchise. And they keep doing what they do best – which is not too much. The presentation is awful, the engine is outdated, the mission design is dreadful.

I am thankful that the indie scene produced games like Amnesia, Outlast or Slender and thus helped build the renaissance of survival horror. Unfortunately House of Caravan with its uninspired borrowing from games or concepts like Gone Home or P.T. will be remembered for … Well, for… Nothing. A game that nobody needs.

In the rare moments where its elements come together, you’ll be playing a neat, but irrelevant Hitman clone. But most of the time you’re just annoyed by technical and AI shortcomings.

After the latest videos I didn’t expect much, although I was hoping for some kind of entertaining trash. The final result is underwhelming. This isn’t trash – this is just garbage.

Technically as well as mechanically this is a desaster.

If the goal was to demonstrate what can go wrong in terms of game design, presentation and visual quality: Congratulations, you passed with flying colors! Nothing in this game is appealing or entertaining.

The group experience of the Slender-like horror is truly terrifying – unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. Boredom on a variety of levels: Visually, mechanically, technically.

30 games? Yes! Great? Hardly! If you want minigames for your Wii U GamePad buy a ticket for Nintendo Land or visit the Rabbids.

Even kids will lose their interest fast this very old fashioned platformer.

This must be one of the worst and most boring horror experiences of all time. Catastrophic game design, redundant shock moments and an abysmal script: The Nightfall is scary for all the wrong reasons.

Never ever would I have thought that I’d rather play the abysmal Resident Evil 6. This could have been the return to old school survival horror that a lot of fans were hoping for. But in the end the scariest part of Black Soul is the fact that somebody actually was convinced this was ready to be released.

Somewhere in this mess is an X as you know and like it: Smaller, but prettier and with a solid foundation. But with problems like game-stopping bugs and bad design decisions all the ambition goes down the drain.

There are a lot of minigame compilations out there. But no matter how hard I try, I can't think of one worse than this. Absolutely none of the disciplines can satisfy. And what the heck do you need a story for?

Who you gonna call? Definitely not these Ghostbusters. Overpriced, short and mechanically overly simplistic this doesn’t work as a game nor as an experience.

Who needs Souls Calibur: Lost Swords? Well, with all the “complete” versions available at with a budget price tag, actually nobody.

Sports Connection fails from start to finish: Controls are sloppy, visuals are boring, fun is absent.

Not only is Citadels an incredibly awful mixture of Stronghold and Age of Empires with outdated graphics, it also features an abundance of bugs: Persistent crashes, physics errors, AI mishaps and non-existent path-finding are but the tip of the iceberg.

Quotation forthcoming.

How on earth could this game make it to a release state? And why would Atari kill the franchise that started survival horror and made Resident Evil what it is today?

Finally licensed gaming goes back to the roots: No ambitious mission design, no accurate controls, no visual splendor, no quality control. Just classic honest trash. No seriously: This is trash. The worst kind…

This is a disrespectful treatment of an adventure classic. If you have the chance, get the original.

Seriously, this is ridiculous. Technically Monster 4x4 is a nightmare miles away from a steady framerate. Which is miraculous, because this game is plain ugly, not to mention the poor verhicle handling.

This is not the Nindie you’re looking for. Stay away from this. The visuals are reminiscent of the N64 era and there is hardly any game to be found. I guess for every Yin like the excellent Voez there has to be a Yang like this so the world stays in order.

I definitely want more tactical adventures enriched with epic storytelling like Banner Saga. But definitely not like this brash copy, that shows almost no individuality.
