Princess Maker 2 Regeneration was a prime reminder that some things do not need a re-release, despite some artistic additions.

It just feels like very little is actually on offer for a full priced 3DS game.

OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes sounds and looks good, but dull repetitive combat and a story that doesn't go anywhere. But if you're already a fan of the show, you'll probably be okay with its shortcomings, newcomers need not apply.

Despite my issues with sidescrolling Sonic games I mentioned earlier, what I appreciate about Mania is that it’s a concise and focused game, with clear goals and philosophies behind its design. Forces feels like the antithesis of that, in that it’s a bloated, self-important mismatch of ideas with some great moments packed in between a lot of nonsense. Forces is fun to play in short bursts, but as an extended experience it feels like it has no idea what it wants to be, or is just incapable of encapsulating it all in one game.

Dynasty Warriors 9 is a significant departure from past titles, but a poorly implemented open world leaves much to be desired.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS-Force tries a million different things, then botches all of them. Import Gundam Breaker 3 and skip this insipid timesink.

Ikai had a great first half with great pacing and providing enough mystery and heart-racing moments but fizzled out by the end.

Star Wars: Beyond Victory - A Mixed Reality Playset is a fairly simple game with a good payoff for fans of narrative games or people who just want a sandbox to play in and it comes at a price that makes it a lot more enticing for people to give it a shot.

Foamstars isn’t terrible, but its uninspired gameplay, deficit of content, and obscene monetization make it a forgettable experience.

Fossil Fighters is essentially a younger brother looking up to an older one; it clearly admires everything Pokemon does and tries to emulate it in every way possible, but never manages to do so in any clever or inventive ways.

Dolmen is a massive achievement on a small Indie team of 30 developers and is a solid recommendation to those familiar with FromSoftware’s titles but shouldn’t be recommended to the more casual gamer.

Game of Thrones: Kingsroad does a good job of recreating the world beloved by many, and letting us live in it. But the microtransactions really make it feel like Netmarble doesn’t respect the players' time.

There is heart behind New Tales From The Borderlands, however in trying too hard to be like its predecessor, it really only succeeds at being an inferior imitation.

I was shell-shocked by the pathetic mediocrity of TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants.

Jump Force fails to hit the mark with a total lack of care in terms of everything outside of its decent fighting mechanics.

While Lords of the Fallen isn’t a terrible game, it’s far too pedestrian to justify the asking price, especially when there are identical games that are free-to-play. If you’re genuinely looking to spend the money on a mobile game just get Mario Run, there’s at least $13 worth of fun in there.

Dangerous Golf, despite its constant penchant for flames, is not going to set the world on fire. It's a fun distraction for all you latent destroyers out there, and that's all it really needs to be.

Toren won’t appeal to everyone, obviously, but creates a wonderfully moody and magical atmospheric vibe that few games achieve.

Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is messy, bizarre, and ultimately exactly what it needs to be: A great sequel to a cult classic.

Shattered Skies commits a crime much worse than simply being a bad game; it’s dull. It’s also uninteresting, static, and barren.

Ultimately a worthwhile recommendation for horror fans thanks to its original concept, likable protagonist, and some genuinely chilling frights.

While I doubt I’ll play much more of Cooking Mama: Sweet Shop in the future, I can’t say it’s because the game is bad.

ENIGMA: may provide a unique premise for a mystery story, but don’t expect stellar writing. Hold off on this visual novel until it goes on sale.

While unpolished, Old Time Hockey offers a lot for fans looking for an experience outside of NHL.

The Walking Dead Onslaught does its TV show justice, delivering satisfying walker fights fans have dreamed about without offering much of anything else.

Where Syndrome should have been a love letter to classic sci-fi horror games, it instead feels like a drunken, rambling text sent at three in the morning.

Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator is an incredibly authentic game that is only held back by some mild performance issues.

Predator: Hunting Grounds is a game that feels like a good idea that failed to materialize. I can only recommend the game for serious fans of the long-running franchise; or those who can wait around for the game to develop post-launch, which shouldn’t be acceptable in a property as large as the Predator.
