Mafia III isn’t necessarily a bad game, but it is definitely not a true heir to the Mafia series. The story is rich and the gameplay is satisfying (although it’s nothing special), but having played the previous games in the series (especially the first one), I never felt like I was playing a Mafia game.

The world of No Man's Sky is insanely vast and beautiful, but there’s nothing to do in it! There’s no goal, no destination, no ending, nothing!

Simply put, if you are not a die hard fan of Cyanide & Happiness, you will most likely not enjoy Freakpocalypse.

Extinction is full of wasted potential, and while some ideas and gameplay mechanics might be interesting at first, almost none of them are executed properly. Good visuals and some platforming fun are all that Extinction can offer.

Minit’s pixel-art, black and white visuals takes players back in time to the good old Atari days, but unfortunately the fun stops there as Minit has not much to offer in other departments.

The Cosmic Shake has its ups and downs, and is not an experience for just anybody, especially with its hefty 40 dollars price tag. If you are not a die-hard SpongeBob fan, you can probably skip this one or wait for the discount season.

Maneater is very fun to play, but there is no denying that the developers failed to break from repetitiveness. It feels exciting to play as a revenge-seeking shark, but there is also a lot of wasted potential that could have made Maneater a much better game.

Volition's name has always been tied with destructible environments, and Saints Row's reboot is no different. Unfortunately, that's not the only familiar thing as the level design, combat and gameplay mechanics are all mostly the same as almost 15 years ago.

Payday 3 is more of a work in progress rather than a final product as it suffers from tons of technical issues and lack of content. But it offers fantastic core gameplay mechanisms, and just perfect gunplay also builds a solid foundation that can be supported and improved by consistent updates.

Poison Control shows how good ideas and a huge potential can be ruined by bad gameplay decisions and broken structure, and even though some parts of the game like story and writing will keep you eager to carry on, eventually the final package fails to deliver.

We Happy Few tries to combine a dystopian story with a survival gameplay, but these aspects don't quite work together and sometimes even step on each other's toes. Also the execution of the game as a whole, leaves a lot to be desired.

Despite being the best game in the RoboCop universe, the fun and excitement are soon shadowed by frustration as broken shooting mechanisms and dull overall gameplay experience bite in.

Ninjin: Clash of Carrots tries so hard be like old time Beat 'em Up titles, and even tries to change the genre's formula by using Endless Runner mechanics, but it has failed in both, and the final result is a shallow, repetitive، boring and incomplete Beat 'em Up title.

Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered brings together three games from different eras, each with varying levels of quality at the time of their original release. If you're new to these classics, the collection offers a solid experience. However, for those who have already played them, there isn’t much new to discover.

Don’t Knock Twice is a decent horror game that tries to find its place among elite games of the genre. But tons of problems elsewhere prevent it from becoming and elite title despite its great potential. In the end, it might be a good experience for an hour or two, but nothing more.

Genesis Alpha One mixes many elements from different genres together to create a whole new experience, but even if there were no shortcomings in other sections like visuals and sound design, which there is, GAO is still not mature enough to be considered a revolutionary title it is trying to be.

Fun to play, but it's no match when compared to other fighting games in this genre. Gameplay mechanics are neither deep enough nor matched together the way they should, and the final product seems underdeveloped.

As things stand right now, you should stay away from The Last of US on PC, for your sanity and your PC’s health. Hopefully, a mega patch will fix all the issues but the current version of the game is far inferior compared to even the PS4 version.

Mile 0 not only fails to improve on Road 96, but also fails to meet the same standards, and if you are not already in love with Road 96's world, you are better off skipping Mile 0 and spending your time and money elsewhere.

As a fan of Demon Slayer series you’ll probably have an easier time communicating with the game, but for anybody else there isn’t much entertainment on offer here as long cut scenes and shallow gameplay really hurt the overall experience.

Twin Mirror is a disappointing title, with a mediocre story and uninspiring characters, and some gameplay features aside, there isn't much to talk about there either. It's not necessarily a bad game but it's far below the standards set by Dontnod in their previous titles such as Life is Strange and Vampyr.

Code Fairy feels like an unfinished product struggling with tons of big and small issues, and fails to fully satisfy even the die hard fans of the Gundam series.

Fallen Legion: Revenants is a mixture of successful and unsuccessful components and ideas, and the final package fails to impress; and aside from some good story moments and solid characters and dialogues, there is not much to praise.

In Pathfinder: Kingmaker, you can see the footprints of many great names in the video games industry, but it seems that the main development team was neither able nor experienced enough to execute the game’s ideas and potentials in a right way, and even if you don’t take its many technical issues into consideration, Pathfinder: Kingmaker is still far from a proper CRPG.

As a Dynasty Warriors 9 spin-off, Empires falls behind the market in terms of both visuals and gameplay standards, and even though many of its gameplay mechanisms show huge potential, the final package fails to impress as it feels rushed and unpolished, leaving its ties to Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel the only upside for the fans to cling to.

Someday You'll Return is neither on par with top quality horror games, nor can compete with other indie titles in the past few years.

Terminator: Resistance Enhanced is average on every level and tries to make fans of every genre happy while using the name of Terminator to boost sales.

Jujubee S.A.’s efforts in creating a different narrative style is admirable, and they did a great job in designing a solid atmosphere and a dynamic environment. But when it comes to presenting a video game inspired by real historical events, KURSK falls a little bit short, and besides that the core gameplay is not really entertaining either.

Although Fimbul has a great universe to explore and some fun gameplay elements, it still fails as a package. The gameplay is good but short, the story is not so appealing, combat is repetitive and the game suffers from tons of technical issues, and the only ones who will probably enjoy Fimbul are the hardcore fans of Scandinavian myths.

All in all, Hellpoint is a mediocre action adventure that could have been a lot better if it hadn't tried to copy the Souls series this much.

Aragami 2 might be appealing to some stealth fans, but the final package ultimately fails to meet the current standards of the video games industry.

Built on Unreal Engine 5, Echoes of the End offers breathtaking visuals that often make you pause just to admire the scenery, but unfortunately, that’s where the experience peaks. Beyond its stunning world, the game quickly unravels with stiff animations, a shallow story, and clunky, broken gameplay, serving as a reminder that great visuals alone can’t carry a video game.

Although Mutazione seems like a journey full of exciting adventures, the bad execution of its ideas led to a very boring adventure experience.

Simply put, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is one of the most disappointing releases in recent years. The game is so fundamentally broken that even the promises of extra content and DLCs are unlikely to save it, leaving the fans to wonder why a studio like Rocksteady with such a strong resume would end up making something this bad.

Forspoken is a massive open world game, and that's its biggest problem. It's unnecessarily big and there is not enough content and things to do to make up for this huge world, and even though the combat system, spell mechanisms and parkour gameplay are mostly solid, the final product feels shallow and unsatisfying.

Who Needs You? Is definitely the worst episode in the Guardians of the Galaxy series. There is no progress in the story and most of the time, you’ll experience repetitive and predictable events happening in the same locations. The only positive to look forward to is the ending that can affect the future episodes for good.

Exoprimal may offer engaging and sometimes exciting combat and the core gameplay mechanics are what you’d expect from a shooter, but it falls into a loop of repeating itself way too early and for an online experience, that’s the biggest issue. It has the potential to become much bigger and better than what it is right now, but unless those updates start rolling, I don’t recommend paying the full price just for potential.

The question remains unanswered that what the combination of witcher, X-Com and Crusader Kings would look like, as Forged of Blood failed to execute correctly. A project this big would be a difficult job to pull even for AAA studios with huge budgets, and it would produce better results if small, indie studios focus on less ambitious projects.

Considering Bandai Namco's experience in creating fighting titles, Jump Force is a disappointing release that is not worthy of WSJ magazine's name.

Starfield: Shattered Space takes you to a "shattered space", and I mean it literally. This is probably the most unstable, unpolished DLC that Bethesda has ever released. It doesn't improve the original game's experience by any means but rather drags it further down. If you want to play Starfield, just play Starfield and forget about Shattered Space. You won't miss anything.

As much as we love Arkane Studios and their works, Redfall exceptionally disappoints in almost every aspect, and it seems that there is still a long way ahead for Arkane to polish all the issues up to the standards.

Dance of Death mixes pretty good ideas with great characters, but fails to execute those ideas. Having challenging puzzles is a must for adventure games, and unfortunately Dance of Death offers none, and has a long way ahead to become a solid adventure title.

Exiin's first step as an indie studio is not as strong, but it doesnt disappoint either. Ary and the Secret of Seasons is full of new ideas, but the lack of time probably prevented the team from fully developing those ideas, and the result is an unpolished, rushed game that could have been much better.

It seems that Grimshade is a product of several teams who worked separately from each other, and in the end just matched they works together. Grimshade is a shallow Role Playing title with weak story, and the only reason that prevents it from a free fall is its visual design and music.

It seems that the Monster Jam series is off the track, as every recent entry in the series cares much more about the financial goals rather than game's quality. Steel Titans is no exception and if the owners of the title don't change their entire view, we are not going to see any good Monster Jam title in the future too.

Daymare 1998 is a failed attempt to revive a classic survival horror title. An attempt that is nothing more than a weak copy of titles released 20 years ago. It lacks character and identity, and it can't be recommended even to the fans of the genre.

Eternal Strands offers glimpses of promise with its stunning boss fights and intriguing gameplay mechanics. However, its repetitive structure and lack of depth make for a shallow experience. The game also falls short in storytelling and character development, leaving little to keep players engaged and making it difficult to recommend.

It's not necessarily a bad thing that developers are trying to follow the formulas that worked several years ago, but executing those formulas is where things get tricky and ruin its huge potential. Dangerous Driving can be considered direct competition for Burnout Paradise, a title that released in the 7th generation and still beats DD every day of the week. There is no point in paying 30 dollars for Dangerous Driving, especially now that we have the remastered version of Burnout Paradise for only 20 dollars.

The ABC of horror games is that they tend to be frightening, but Maiden of Black Water is not only true to that, but also fails to stand up to Fatal Frame name and delivers a simple, average experience on every level.

MX Vs. ATV Legends is subpar in almost every aspect, even when compared to mediocre racing games from previous generation, and unless off-road racing is like air and water to your body, give yourself a favour and stay away from it.

The 1st chapter of Sherlock Holmes seems broken and lost, and fails to fully satisfy even the hardcore fans of the character.

Funko Fusion throws everything it can on the wall with the hope that something sticks, but unfortunately for the developers and the audience alike, nothing is left on the wall after the first couple of hours. Funko Fusion is fast-paced, action-packed, and colorful, but it also lacks identity, is shallow, and is not appealing

Even as a low-budget indie game, Lifeless Moon fails to stand out among the competition. If it weren't for its engaging atmosphere and solid soundtrack, it might have already been forgotten.

Considering the limited amount of content available at launch, it’s hard to justify a $40 price tag for Painkiller. That said, its core gameplay remains fun and engaging, and with future content, it has the potential to become a solid co-op action experience.

If you are looking only for horror, Outlast 2 delivers. It’s beautiful, gory and scary. But in terms of story and gameplay, it is repetitive, linear, unfair, and focused too much on trial and error.

Like the story that sets in the 60s, it seems that the developers’ mindset is also stuck back then, as none of the gameplay mechanisms are upgraded to meet today’s standards in this supposedly remade title.

The Definitive edition of Mafia 3 not only hasn't improved on the original version, but actually added tons of new bugs and glitches to it, making an already not so pleasant experience even worse.

The Callisto Protocol is mediocre at best with nothing to brag about as every aspect of the game like story, ending, boss fights, visuals and pretty much everything else is below the standards of 2022.

WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a bad game. It tries to be arcade and fun, but instead it's buggy, shallow and repetitive. Even for a fan of WWE, there are far better options out there.

While it's always exciting for the fans to see new version of their beloved games developed with modern standards, unfortunately this is not the case for every game, and when we look back we realize that some games just don't fit the profile. The Sonic series seems to be going down that path and unless the developers inject some really cool and exciting new ideas into the franchise, titles like Sonic Colors Ultimate will be nothing more than a good old memory.

After releasing Monster Energy Supercross, it seemed that Milestone was destined for more and more success, but after the release of two incomplete titles, Gravel and now MotoGP 18, it seems that not only Milestone has lost its way, but also is destroying its reputation.

Hive Jump is a great action-platformer that brings many fun elements of the genre together. Although the single player doesn’t have much to offer, a great cooperative multiplayer experience makes Hive Jump worth trying.

I spent most of my very short time with this game walking from one room to another and exploring new areas. The atmosphere is very engaging but the lack of interesting puzzles and a confusing story prevents SRBT from reaching its potential.

The Complex is neither a game nor a movie. It's actually a movie that you can change its course by your actions. The gameplay is very simple and there isn't really much going on, and if you are a fan of the genre you'll probably enjoy it.

Steel Division 2 suffers from tons of issues, but if you somehow manage to get past them, you'll realize the potential behind it and how Eugan can make it a lot better if they are committed enough.

EA Sports FC 24 lacks identity and innovation and is stuck between a fun arcade football game and a deep simulation, eventually failing to deliver for fans of either style. EA is facing no competition for its Football game at the moment and given the commercial success of the game, the future seems darker than ever.

Through the Darkest of Times, as the name suggests, tells the story of one of the most horrifying eras in the history of mankind in a relatively different way, and while the concept seems appealing, the game itself is sometimes not. If you are interested in history, this game is probably the right choice for you, but be warned that the gameplay mechanics are not always working as they should.

All in all, Gravel is a mediocre racing game; one that cannot challenge any of the top quality racing titles currently available on the market. The game has many qualities that the other recent release from Milestone enjoyed, but unlike the motorcycle racing genre, the car racing genre is too crowded.

The main problem with Fallout 76 is that it is built by a company which has specialized at creating solid single-player titles, and the result is countless bugs and technical issues. Maybe Bethesda is laying the foundation and gaining experience for future MMO titles, or maybe they’ll improve it by releasing patches and more, but in its current state, Fallout 76 is a not a title worthy of the Fallout name.

WWE 2K20 is flat out worst entry in the series, period. The game is obviously unfinished and is full of bugs and glitches, and there is almost no way that even the die hard fans of WWE can enjoy it. WWE 2K series seems to be done for this generation, and we can only hope that the new developers will have something to offer on next generation of consoles.

Whether you watched and loved Peaky Blinders or not, stay away from this game as it is one of the worst adopted video games of at least this generation.

Diablo Immortal seems like a project created with the sole purpose of using the good name of Diablo to rub the players of their money. Definitely one of the worst games ever came out of Blizzard.

Disaster Report 4, as it name suggests, is nothing more than a disaster. There are some good here and there throughout the game, but they are not enough to overcome the many shortcomings that the game is suffering from.

Quite simply, Foregone, like almost every other game developed by Big Blue Bubble, is weak, shallow, and not worthy of your time and money.

Devil's Hunt is one of those games that failed to reach its potential, thus can't be considered a good AA game. Very shallow story, bad character design and repetitive gameplay are the main reasons that you should probably avoid this game.

Perception is a prime example of a wasted innovative ideas. Developers of Perception did almost everything wrong and the final product is a broken and shallow game.

Crackdown 3 is a 6th or 7th generation title released in 2019, and is weak and shallow in every possible respect. The multiplayer section of the game is the most pointless experience in the video games industry in years and is suffering from a serious lack of content. Crackdown 3 might only be able to entertain fans of the series for maybe a few hours, and nothing more.

In episodic video games, which are becoming more and more popular, the first episode is essential and is the biggest chance for the developers to convince players to continue playing their future episodes. Unfortunately for Song of Horror, this first and very important step goes horribly wrong as it suffers from tons of issues in almost every department. Right now, there is absolutely no reason for anyone who played it to go on and purchase the second episode, unless the developers really up their game.

They say never judge a book by the cover, as whats inside almost always is better than whats outside. In Waking's case however, the only pretty thing is the cover. Shallow and broken gameplay? Check. Bad controls? Check. Poor visuals? Check. Innovations?. Nowhere to be found. Worth a shot? Probably not.

Even though there are only a couple of good games in the kart racing genre, the two being Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing, it is still hard to recommend Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 to the fans of the genre as it is shallow, lacks content and simply fails to entertain.

In the end, it's safe to say that Remothered Broken Porcelain failed to keep up to expectations set by the first game. Broken Porcelain's story is weird and the shallow gameplay and not so impressive puzzles don't help either. Add tons of bugs and technical issues to everything I just said and you'll realize that it may be the best choice to ignore this game.

Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator disappoints on almost every front, save for its visually appealing city of Barcelona and well-designed cars. The game lacks depth and fails to offer any meaningful engagement.

PixARK is a really poor Minecraft clone, and that's it.

There is no point in paying 60 dollars for a Tennis game when so many better alternatives are already available. One of the worst games of 2018.

Nippon Marathon gets repetitive and boring very soon, is not fun, and is not executed correctly, and if not for its low price, no one would have paid any attention to it.

At first glance, Zheros is a beautiful Beat’em up. But after a couple of hours, you’ll realize that it’s repetitive, pointless and extremely and illogically hard. Zheros feels like an unfinished product with a great potential that could have been much better if executed correctly.

Despite a beautiful artistic design, Scorn is a tormenting journey to a strange world where there is no logic, purpose or fun.

Even as a hardcore fan of point & click adventures, you’ll still have a hard time adopting to Black Mirror. Broken gameplay and disappointing story is just a small part of its so many issues, and even as a fan of the Black Mirror franchise, playing over the original trilogy seems to be a better option.

If you want to destroy your good old WWII memories, Verdun is your choice. Poor artistic and technical graphics, countless technical problems, frustrating gameplay, server issues, boring and without any creativity.

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris is more of an Anime than a video game, and if you are interested in this type of entertainment, there are far better options available on the market.

Other than lots of wasted potential, there isn’t much to look for in this interactive action movie, as it ends up being too familiar with what we’ve already seen.

Trek to Yomi is like a Christmas present you’ve been waiting for, and it’s finally here, wrapped in the most unique and gorgeous way possible, but when you open it there is nothing inside.

At first glance, Street Power Soccer may seem like a colorful, fun and diverse street soccer experience, but when you actually get to try it, you'll notice that almost everything is wrong about this game to a point that it's actually not playable.

Bleak Faith: Forsaken is a collective of broken elements that were never going to work together, to begin with, and the final product is not short of a disaster. Spend your money and time elsewhere.

If we rewind the clock 25 years, Captain Blood might have stood out as one of the more entertaining games of the year 2000. But in 2025, it feels entirely outdated. There are tons of brutal action going on in the game, and that's about it. Every idea it brings to the table has been explored and surpassed long ago, leaving little reason to revisit this relic of the past.

Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia, like many other games that are adopted from movies and tv series, is a weak title made to take financial advantage of the Trollhunter name. Not recommended even to the fans of the series.

Balan Wonderworld is a boring, dull and dated platformer presented in a beautiful package to persuade parents who are looking to buy a game for their children.

Given how rich World of Darkness universe is, Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is nothing but a total disappointment.
