I doubt any Great Power could save this game from being the soulless wasteland that it is.

Simple combat, poor mechanics, boring voice acting and some unpolished graphics mean that the fans of the book series might find themselves struggling to finish it. For those without an invested interest in the character or the story: this is one to avoid.

PO'ed: Definitive Edition is a great remaster for a not-so-great game. Nightdive Studios has done a wonderful job and fans of the original will definitely enjoy it… but for newcomers, PO’ed is kind of obscure for a reason.

Zenith is a game that everyone should give a go. It's charming, funny and just well made in general. Don't let the classic RPG setting fool you, Zenith is one for the books.

Ego Protocol: Remastered is a tile-sliding Lemmings-like that offers about as much excitement as a geriatric knitting club. Outside of some temperamental controls and poor use of its sci-fi theme however, there’s not much to highlight as a real issue. It’s not offensive enough to incite mass riots but it still feels like a chore every step of the way.

BABYLON’S FALL has plenty of quality game design in it, with a good length main campaign and even side content on launch, with more already added, and even more coming for free. Whether the price is worth it is up to you; play the demo and decide for yourself.

Though there is not much remastering, Sacred 2 Remaster stays faithful to the original release. Despite being somewhat dated and lacking multiplayer on consoles, there is still fun to be had in this sprawling action RPG.

Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days is a top-down shooter that excels at the minimum. The replayability may be lacking, but it's definitely worth at least one playthrough.

Periodically beautiful yet consistently broken, Generation Zero’s brand of monotonous, sterile and bug-riddled open-world first-person shooting is something that you should avoid at all costs.

A basic action adventure game with a great style and a surprisingly engrossing story that is sadly backed up by repetitive gameplay that never evolves into something great.

Jumanji: The Curse Returns isn't a broken game; it just felt overly repetitive, short, and not very fun. It's too bad that it didn't make the game require more strategy because it could have been much more intriguing.

With an awkward difficulty curve and some questionable sonic choices, this isn’t a purrfect platformer, but it’s certainly good enough for meow. I’m not kitten around when I say this is a competent platformer that deserves a look in if you can get it fur a decent price.

The Uncertain: Light at the End is a game that interweaves everything through its narrative. Sadly, that narrative is frustratingly tedious, meaning the rest of the game’s building blocks fall apart without a strong base.

Waking is a game that attempts to be two very different things, and for the most part, it succeeds quite well. If you’re willing to devote a little bit of time to learning its quirky systems, you’re in for a potentially rewarding experience. An experience which encourages you to close your eyes, take a deep breath, and go back into your memories.

MilitAnt is offensively bad, it looks like a PS2 game and plays like something a few amatuer developers cobbled together. This wouldn't be an issue if there wasn't a price tag involved. Steer well clear of this.

Despite getting some enjoyment out of it, Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator quickly became both monotonous and irritating thanks to the driving sequences. A disappointing simulator that just doesn’t live up to its potential.

Bombshell doesn’t seem to have gone down well with other critics, but I had a blast. Solid shooting backs up what I found to be an engaging gameplay loop. By no means the best twin stick shooter around, I had fun during the 8 hours I spent with it, and that’s enough for me.

There’s a core gameplay loop that could have some substance, but it’s surrounded by a confused interface, a simply awful tutorial, with surface-level complexity that needn’t exist.

New Gundam Breaker is a good concept, shoddily put together. The story is a trope-fest, battles are confusing and the masses of text are hard to read. There are so few positive points it’s not funny.

Food Truck Simulator is an enjoyable time, and the few minor annoyances don’t take much away, but it's let down by a mediocre presentation.

A bland, repetitive roguelike that had the potential to be something far greater. Scar-Lead Salvation is disappointing in almost every aspect.

No online multiplayer, oddly narrow selection of properties, a lack of characters and imagery from the shows they used along with oddities like no voice work make it hard to recommend, there’s the nugget of a great kart racer in here but it all feels so half-hearted. A real shame.

Avoid Alekhine’s Gun. There are much better games out right now that are actually worth your time and money. Hell, there’s a proper Hitman game out this month - go get that, it’s a fraction of the price! Alekhine’s Gun will not be remembered for its own efforts, but for the efforts of the Youtuber’s that will tear it apart.

As much as the title is memorable and is certainly a bit of a giggle, beyond this we get another forgetful short lived game. Visually terrible and on-par with the likes of a mobile game, Super Duper Party Pooper is another fun for a few minutes time-waster that’s eventually flushed away among your other forgotten steam games.

Robo Wars is a simplistic 2D fighter with robots facing off against each other. There is no story here, and the game felt very repetitive and boring.

The Cleaner continues to punish you for not adhering to the pace it’s trying to dictate to you, a pace that it proudly preaches but makes little effort in practicing.

Crimson Keep is a decent enough title that you’ll get some entertainment out of it, however, the story is barebones, the gameplay at its core is bland and basic, and progressing throughout feels like it’s done at a crawl. On the positive side though, the design and overall look of the game are definitely noteworthy, being two aspects that help make this title more appealing from a visual perspective. Long story short, it’s up to you in this case, I personally would save my money for something else.

You might visit for the lewdness but you won't be staying for long. Senran Kagura Reflexions falls short on its promises and ends up being a dull title that fairs to offer anything memorable.

MindsEye is a title with a lot of promise that stutters a bit when trying to deliver, but there is a fun game here if you’re willing to get past the initial slowness.

With a disappointingly short single-player and an unplayable multiplayer, CrossfireX doesn’t bring much to the table. Even with some interesting parts in the story, the shortcomings of the game are much higher in number.

An adventure that is unintentionally comedic at best, and downright broken at its worst. Some fun moments during combat do shine through, but without some much needed updates, this is one to steer clear of.

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a poorly designed, bug-ridden, untested game that’s only redeeming quality doesn’t matter in the whole picture.

A game that has the potential to be really cool, but a lack of direction and incredibly short game really make this a frustrating play.

Dying: Reborn is an interesting enough puzzle game that falls short of making any kind of impact at all. A cash-in game for the VR age, skipping this title would be recommended.

If you like stealth horror titles, 90s things, and alien games, you should definitely give Greyhill Incident a shot — just be warned, it runs quite short!

Left Alive falls short in many areas. What could of been an interesting title ends up being one you best avoid.

I’ve read scarier issues of the Beano in this clunky, buggy mess of a wanna be Deadly Premonition.

Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn manages to do things at such a basic level that it numbs us to the idea of anything entertaining happening ever. A product from the past that lacks in every department, one has to wonder why they even bothered?

There were elements that I enjoyed about Coffin Dodgers, and the fast-paced action and ragdoll physics led to some crazy races and funny fails. I enjoyed the story mode, especially with its amusing ending. Plus, the final showdown race is brilliant. But the game lacks depth, and doesn’t really have that draw that made me want to keep playing, especially with the omission of online features.

A game that has a lot of potential, but the Switch version is full of glitches and even with jump scares the parts that do work just aren’t as creepy as they could be. The game is very repetitive and gets boring really fast.

Just, unenjoyable. A side project that should never have been attempted.

Cityconomy’s mix of RPG elements make it resemble a different kind of game than the one it actually is. It is something that simply doesn’t work, as it pulls you to two different trains of thought.

With dreadful driving controls, insufficient content and an egregious price tag, it’s hard to recommend Fast & Furious Crossroads to anyone unless you are a die-hard Fast & Furious fan. Even then, wait for a steep sale.

All in all not a bad game, especially for a first outing. A little rough around the edges, but still a game that's worth a try.

An underwhelming game, full of lag, that is janky and has issues with hit detection. There is no online multiplayer, and it’s very boring to play against the dumb AI.

Multiple updates since leaving Early Access have still resulted in a game that barely squeezes past “mediocre” in the fun department, and should have probably not left it.

What we have here is the definition of cash-grabbing and at £40 you’ll be as braindead as the ghouls ingame to buy. The release is obscenely catered towards parents or grandparents who would buy this for their child/grandchild because, it’s all the kids are talking about these days.

Tiny Racer looks like a super cool toy car driving game but the controls and crazy glitches make this game more frustrating than anything. Even the comic book "sound effect" words don't help it.

The contentless husk of an MMO with uninteresting mechanics and a progression system with no rewards.

eFootball 2022 isn’t just a bad football game, it’s a bad videogame. It took Konami most of the 2010s to take Pro Evolution Soccer from a mediocre football game to something respectable, and can’t be expected to turn eFootball 2022 around quickly. Playing it sucked all of the enjoyment out of football, and I can’t help but feel it would have been better served being released as a digital pachinko game.

A strong point-and-click game that strikes a good balance between being family-friendly and not too easy as to be no challenge. The game is led by a strong storyline, delivered with great voice acting. If you’re a fan of the TV show then you’ll love it, but be aware that it may not be that engaging if you haven’t seen it.

Derby Kings won’t blow you away but it might help whittle down a long train journey or give you something to do while in the queue at the post office. In the end isn’t that the true purpose of a mobile game?

A more than competent puzzler, that does well enough to never leave you confused at what to do next. Matched with a good control setup and pleasing aesthetics, Nightmares from the Deep should be on your list if you’re into the hidden item/puzzle combo games.

Sinless is a pleasant but unoriginal game that needs to do something new in the forthcoming episodes.

Frustrating, and flamboyant in all the wrong ways, Planet Diver is a total miss. Though, if the developers were looking to actively make a crap game, then they couldn't have planet better.

A basic job but a good one nonetheless, if you need a strategy game that isn't quite as intensive as Civilization but is gripping nonetheless, this'll hit the spot.

Euro Fishing provides a way to enjoy lake fishing for those who either don’t have water nearby, don’t fancy sitting by a lake for hours providing food for midges, or just wish to enjoy some off season virtual piscatrial pursuits. There are glitches that can annoy, but they don’t destroy totally the relaxing atmosphere and challenges the game brings.

Defunct's way of conveying the sense of motion and fluidity works great with the control and management of the robot's position. However, its simplicity and strange objective design can present some drawbacks.

If you're looking for an excellent neon filled twin stick shooter with awesome techno beats, you're not going to find it here and you’d be better off playing Geometry Wars or Resogun on PS4 (if you want something more original), but if you've played them all and you want more, then get this on sale as it is still a fun title.

If you really hate someone, then gift this to them on Steam but if not, then don’t bother. I wasted seven hours of my life playing this so you don’t have to.

RPG Tycoon is a fun experience offering deep and rich customization that even the most hardened tycoon veterans will be enamored by what's on offer.

Overall this is a good 2D platform game because of the various gameplay elements.

Price aside, Aveyond 4 gives a good account of itself as a game, being well-made and charming.

A fantastic RPG title that deserves your attention. Fair warning: if you do give this game your attention, good luck at prying it away. It's an addictive one...

To be honest, if you’re looking for a tile-based grand strategy game that fits in your pocket you can’t do much better than Planar Conquest. With oodles of content and a surprisingly engaging battle system, you might find yourself spending a decent chunk of time playing the magical lord in this little app that packs a big punch.

Unending Galaxy has an extensive amount of tools and menus to be played with. The overall presentation may be lacking, but the level of content on offer more than makes up for it.

If you can look past the somewhat-dated graphics and the empty expanses of space that will greet you in the multiplayer zones, Evochron will suck away your time and keep you enthralled for many an hour.

Winning seems like an impossibility, but the actual core gameplay – the taking part – is so fun, that I cannot help but to play on. If you play this game, you'll likely be in the same boat.

Pixel Puzzles 2: Space is a poor attempt at recreating jigsaw puzzles on PC. The game feels and looks cheap, whilst providing a very limited amount of actual gameplay. You'd be better off just solving a real jigsaw puzzle.

There’s Poop in my Soup is just silly and will surely give you at least 10 minutes of poo filled entertainment. It looks and plays more like a mobile game, but that’s not saying it’s a piece of crap.

I was genuinely impressed with Angels of Deception Part One. I really liked the plot and how it thickened, and I liked the variations in puzzles – although they weren’t always straightforward.

World's Fastest Pizza is a game that manages to balance quirky humour with solid gameplay, to provide a truly unique roguelike experience. Without certain upgrades the gameplay can sometimes prove frustrating, but this never happened enough to make me turn the game off. If you want something that is high in energy and humour, World's Fastest Pizza is for you.

If you like the 8-bit and 16-bit racing games of the 90's, than Race.a.bit is for you.

Crudelis has a great world and a host of really interesting short stories that I will never get to the bottom of because I’m too impatient to watch through the same dialogue and clunky controls in an attempt to get the right endings. If I ever have thirty minutes I’ll probably boot it up and give it a whirl, just because it is such an interesting world to be in, but I don’t think I’ll actively try to beat the game.

The Secret Order 3: Ancient Times is a pleasant journey that will briefly entertain. At a budget price, it’s an ideal alternative to all the huge mainstream releases this month. Despite being the third in the series, it’s really quite a standalone story, and works as a great introduction to the genre.

Ant Workshop have created a tightly focussed title with a clear ethos and a truly original game mechanic. The difficulty may be off putting for some, but it’s intrinsic to the game.

With a lot of clever puzzles and a quirky, cartoon style. 101 Ways to Die is a great puzzle game that will keep you entertained for quite a while. As long as you can get it working that is.

If you like old fashioned platformers that are tough as nails but addictive, then you’ll love this. It’s a 16-bit platformer with modern day polish. A tremendous first effort from a small development team, this game deserves to be a big hit.

A tactical military game in large spaces with the mentality of small ones. Not a bad game, but definitely not one of the better ones within this genre.

Stardust Galaxy Warriors is a 4 player mech style local arcade shoot ‘em up with RPG elements.

Avoid this like the plague, and for god's sake, lads, hire yourself a better PR team.

Not just one, but three brilliantly unique and atmospheric tables from a stellar IP, staying true to the source material in sound as well as style.

One of the absolute finest space shooters on Steam today.

If you are a fan of fishing, then this is a game I would label as a must have. Having said that, I am not a fan of fishing but I found Ice Lakes to be a wonderful experience with its glorious visuals, a multitude of game modes, and a running theme which is continued throughout. Forget about the fish; Ice Lakes is the catch of the day.

If you’re a comic fan, for the price, it’s got a strong, sci-fi plot, and it’s probably worth checking out, although you might find yourself skipping some battles. If you’re not a comic fan then this probably doesn’t really have much to offer you, it’s a bit hit or miss.

I’m going to give Earn to Die 2 a good score because I actually enjoyed my time with it, but I can’t recommend buying it to you. Get the mobile version, because this is perfect to play through one or two runs while you’re not doing anything, or else play the browser version because its pacing is much better for playing more than ten minutes at a time.

Sorcery! Part 3 is more of the same, and I’m beginning to grow tired. The episodic format works well for stories that offer more dramatic or emotional moments, and having to wait months between each part has allowed other, better, roleplaying games to steal my interest.

For the budget price Dovetail Games are asking it is a great jumping on point for folk new to flight simulators or intimidated by the thought of a ‘full’ simulator. The content on offer is well-produced and a lot of fun. Just be aware of some potential technical gremlins.

There are a few negatives here and there, but it doesn’t damper on the whole experience and leads me to believe that The Abandoned could be one of the better survival games on the app store.

I really wanted to like One Troll Army, but the only people I would recommend this to are streamers, and even then it’s a gimmick you could play once and move on to something else. If they’d have made the non-streaming version more important, with failure states that actually meant something, this would be better, but as it stands this is a game for streamers and not the average gamer.

Absolutely painful to play. It works, but is in no way a fun game experience.

Raining Blobs is a game that falls back on the saturated colour-match genre, but hopes to garner interest through its use of Kawaii female characters. Unfortunately this leads to an uninspired and unoriginal experience that is easily beaten by the more established games in its genre.

It doesn’t instinctively do anything wrong, but the game is too simple and is missing too many additions that other videogames would consider standard and basic, like audio itself. There’s too much lacking inside the game to warrant a recommendation for anything more than a quick play.

Overdosed - A Trip to Hell is a bad trip through bad game design choices that was released a little too early to be good. From dull graphics to bad gunplay, indistinguishable enemies and cluttered audio, this game doesn’t feel finished and could do with more time with a QA team.

Take Off – The Flight Simulator may not visually be all that comparable to flight sims on the PC market, but when it comes to the mobile device market, Take Off definitely comes under one of the better flying game experiences out there on the iOS app store.

Frustrating controls, boring game play and a lack of incentives to keep playing mires an interesting concept. Cannot recommend this one, especially when there are so many good space games of all genres out there at the moment.

Tick Tock Bang Bang does some interesting things with the time-pause puzzle concept but it doesn’t feel as cohesive and polished as it should. If you are looking for something similar to SUPERHOT to satisfy your first person puzzle urges it’s worth a gander.

A charming strategy game with a retro presentation that is a lot of fun to play. Let down a little by not being that adventurous in its level design and feeling a little spammy. For the price it’s a strategy title worth taking for a spin.
