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 shows off a few interesting mechanics which help to save it from certain doom that seems unavoidable if you just look at the abysmal AI or the superficial elements you encounter plenty of times.

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

Two worlds collide: On one side you get loads of bizarre enemies and hair-raising ideas. On the other you get frustrated by old-fashioned mission design, poor AI and boring gunfights. Like Stewie says: "Again! Again! I love repetition!"

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.

If you played games like Alien Breed or Dead Nation you know what to expect. But be aware that even though the lighting and sound effects are nice, virtually everything else is below par.

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

It could have been a modern Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee. But in this form Pacific Rim is just a conceptually interesting but boring fighting game with big robots and gutsy in-app-purchases.

What chaos! This is by far the weirdest jump-and-run I have played in a while. Unfortunately it is not as fascinating as it sounds, since the novelty factor soon becomes stale and uninspired.

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

It was clever to cut the name Resident Evil from the title. Even better it world have been to cut all ties to the Zombie-IP. With its technical flaws and abundant content this shooter is as much needed as another Operation Raccoon City or another hole in the head.

The mysterious story sparks your curiosity and the match of vampires and stealth seems like a good concept. But if you take elements from stealth giants like Splinter Cell, Deus Ex or Dishonored you have to make sure that they work well together. And here, they don’t.

In theory this could be an entertaining coop brawler. But it lacks in technical quality, variety and esprit. “Kowabunga” alone doesn’t cut it.

First of all, Blades of Time wasn’t a particularly good game when it was originally released seven years ago. And with this version showing even more performance issues than back then, I cannot find any reasonable answer why this game was granted a re-release.

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

It's a pity that Capcom constricts the new Steel Battalion with Kinect. Without the motion controls this could have been an entertaining mech shooter.

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.

Really, I’ve had it with the premature release of unfinished projects and their bugs. But even when everything works, this is a rather mediocre fantasy adventure that vainly tries to recapture the fascination of an Ultima Underworld.

Yes, it is playable. And some dribbling looks decent. But if you're looking for the next generation of basketball, this is not it.

You can have fun with this game - in a weird sense. The video-episodes are amateurish and the topics mundane. Nonetheless there are some interesting moments that made me laugh and think about male dating behaviour.

I don’t care who dies or survives. In the beginning my curiosity was sparked by stealth mechanics as well as team and resource management. But in the end this is an outdated, very generic, very boring and often very ugly zombie action that certainly fails to live up to the big name it carries.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

Even though the presentation is decent, the game is a disappointment – mainly due to the outright weird driving physics as well as technical shortcomings.

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.

Good ideas poorly implemented: Gollum's well-staged inner conflict in a coherent world with weaknesses that are rampant.

Amy impressively showcases how underdeveloped gaming generally is on an emotional level. But unfortunately the moments of frustration about the controls, the lengthy storytelling, frustrating AI and too much trial and error prevail.

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.
