Blair Witch on the Switch remains an unnerving and creepy experience that has plenty of interesting gameplay concepts, but it‘s also severely lacking compared to other versions.

Godfall only succeeds in creating interesting combat systems without giving any thought to the world and story around it.

Hitching framerates and drab visuals take away from an otherwise decent hack and slash with a terrific atmosphere.

Fans of the series might get a kick out of it, but there’s not enough decent meat on the game’s bones to warrant any long-term attention.

Summer in Mara is a beautiful game for the eyes and the ears, but spends too much time on fetch quests and not enough on story.

It’s a crying shame that this One Piece game is so one note.

Sisters Royale should be a hard pass to anyone looking for a good Cute-Em-Up game.

Tennis World Tour 2 is a frustrating experience that will leave players feeling like John McEnroe after a missed line call far too often.

I understand that The Long Journey Home is designed to be a challenge, which is fine. I just wish that most of the experience didn’t feel like it was always piling on more and more despair.

Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires has some promise, but it’s learned nothing from the past and possesses no soul.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood has a lot of interesting ideas, but the boring and repetitive gameplay and lack of compelling story mean it fails to make a lasting impression.

Terrible balancing, repetitive gameplay, and a scarcity of content make Vicious Circle feel like a game that wasn't ready to be hatched.

Butting heads with the combat system gets in the way of enjoying the game’s rich world. Nothing is worse than being ripped out of your immersion every few minutes and forced to engage with a jarringly flawed, broken feature.

Gungrave G.O.R.E is resurrecting a franchise, but it’s mindless bullet-slinging fun that has its problems and may not hold everyone’s attention.

A lack of focus, vague combat, and some truly befuddling performance issues hamper the still competent, and often enjoyable, detective sim that the best parts of Cyberpunk 2077 want to be.

Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance is a fun action game to play with friends whose deep combat gets overshadowed by a clunky lock-on mechanic and untimely framerate drops.

Out There: Oceans of Time tries to be a small-scale No Man’s Sky, but it gets lost in the darkness of space by learning the wrong lessons.

Jump Force, ultimately, is a title that doesn't do much to sway non-anime fans and will leave its faithful needing more, with its slow story pacing, uninspired combat and plenty of technical issues meaning its true potential may never be realised.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint mostly feels like yet another AAA game that was released too soon.

While Metal Wolf Chaos XD isn’t about to set the world on fire with its stellar graphics, revolutionary gameplay or thought provoking and hard hitting narrative, it does hold a place as unique and ridiculous piece of gaming history, and I’m glad the West has been given a chance to properly celebrate it.

There are a handful of things to really like here, but when it comes down to it, there’s an unjustifiable price tag hovering over a game whose content is as light as a feather.

Despite its amusing concept and charming vibes, Skatebird can’t get far when it actually gets on the board.

A charming facade can’t save Buildings Have Feelings Too from its own poor technical framework, gameplay design issues, and lack of player accessibility options.

With an expansive main campaign that takes far too long to get started and quite a few underdeveloped mechanics, this Sword Art game is a tough sell for anyone but the most dedicated fans.
