    A neat mechanic that gets old quickly in this otherwise forgettable twin stick shooter.

    Mutants in Manhattan does just enough fan service to make TMNT fans almost forget how mediocre this game is.
    • 44 Metascore

    The game, despite its problems, can be fun in small doses and certainly provides plenty of old school challenge.

    RollerCoaster Tycoon Joyride is a game that fails in delivering anything that remotely resembles what made the series good in the first place, instead, players are left with a hollow husk of a game that feels unfinished and rushed.

    Bombshell is an overpriced buggy mess of a game, don’t shell out money for this bomb.

    Ultimately, Tamagotchi Plaza is a fairly lacklustre game but one that appropriately represents the Tamagotchi brand to the point where enthusiasts and young children may forgive its shallow gameplay loop.

    About as exhilarating as frying an ant with a magnifying glass, and about as cruel to people who play it.

    Babylon’s Fall is an early contender for the worst game of 2022.

    I wish I could be more kind to this game, considering it’s an indie title with big ambition, but considering Horizon: Zero Dawn and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild came out only a few weeks ago, and how similar Troll and I is trying to be to those games, there’s really no excusing it.

    Despite leaning heavily on developer Remedy Entertainment’s impressive Northlight game engine and narrative chops for its brief single-player campaign, CrossfireX is ultimately a poorly-written, half-hearted attempt at reviving Smilegate’s dated CrossFire franchise and is best avoided by all but the most loyal Remedy and CrossFire aficionados.

    Balan Wonderworld is just plain bad. Apart from its terrible costume system, it does nothing new and just poorly copies things that other 3D platformers have already done better.

    A pile of fresh garbage.

    The game is littered with fan service and was clearly made by people who love the property. In a way, that’s what makes it so frustrating.

    With moments that genuinely capture the eerie otherworldliness often associated with UFO and Alien culture, The Greyhill Incident, at times, feels truly out of this world. However, as far as the overall game is concerned, players should let these ETs return home.

    In concept, Left Alive could have had the potential to bring about the revival of Front Mission and fill the void left by the absence of Metal Gear at the same time, but none of its elements click to become a cohesive whole.

    Even without the bugs, Past Cure is a bad game that you should pass on. The story is barely there and nonsensical, the voice acting and writing are atrocious, and the gameplay just isn't enjoyable. If anything, Past Cure gave me more respect for the games it tries to imitate, instead of doing any favors for itself.

    I cannot recommend this game at all, to anybody, for any reason.

    Langrisser Re:Incarnation –Tensei- clearly wants to ape Fire Emblem’s newfound success, and while it sometimes falls flat on its face, it’s still a deep, engaging strategy game with enough there for genre fans to dig into.

    The Lord of the Rings: Gollum shines brightest in the moments where Gollum has a dialogue with secondary characters.

    Zombeer is not afraid to be the videogame equivalent of a B movie.

    Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 fails to recapture the magic of the first four games.

    Afro Samurai 2 is so bad it actually made me physically disheartened to play it. If you’re a fan of the series, and let’s face it, the only reason you’re playing the sequel or reading this review is because you are a fan, do yourself a favor and just play the first Afro Samurai game. Aside from a solid soundtrack, there is nothing likeable about this game.

    The dialogue might be the most atrocious I’ve seen to date in any game I’ve ever played.

    It’s not at all a good game. It’s a janky, lackluster mess arriving twenty years too late.

    The Lady leaves much to be desired, but as an experience, it's absolutely worth your time and money.

    Stardust Vanguards is not a perfect game, but it does its job well to entertain players with its one of a kind fun factor.

    The game has some potential as a puzzler, but it's not going to hold attention for very long.

    For fans of Dragon Age, this is a meaty, content-packed piece of DLC that will take a few hours to thoroughly explore, and feels like it naturally slips in with the base game content.

    The game is literally just about a cat running through a house and breaking everything. There’s no story, no lofty goals, and certainly no moral or ethical grounds contemplated here.

    If, for some reason, you’re in a situation where you love JRPGs, but somehow only have access to a PC, then Re;Birth 2 is a budget alternative that will scratch that itch.
