Although it has some interesting aspects, Together in Between is largely unenjoyable due to the gameplay being repetitive button presses with little thinking required.

Agatha Christie — Murder on the Orient Express offers an excellent mystery, but not much in the way of good gameplay. Often dull and tedious, it’s hard to recommend.

A vibrant world full of enjoyable characters and high-quality voice acting take the edge off a game that’s boring at the best of times and broken at the worst.

An average game that does what it does well, however a price tag way too high, low populated servers and annoying enemies means I can not in good conscience recommend this to anyone. Avoid this game.

A trigger warning in game form - without any trigger warnings. Had a lot of potential, but unfortunately misses the mark.

Phantom Abyss is a game that’s still fun in small doses, but technical issues and limited scope hold it back more than I would like.

Like a sober night in the town with drunken friends, it starts off amusing enough, but it wears out its welcome after a while becoming tiring and grating, and towards the end.

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.

Hunter Girls has an unfortunately high number of flaws, but there are at least a couple of positive aspects to somewhat make up for the failings.

With another three passes over the script and a completely new voice cast, Detective Hayseed would have been a decent adventure game. In its current state it’s hard to put up with.

Playing The Lazaretto is a llot like playing through a lot of different haunted house games mashed together. With more supporting details and tension built up around these individual concepts, the creators may have had something actually scary, but blended all together the game feels unfocused, as if they thought just adding in this particular thing here mixed with a few jump scares would make an instant horror game. Good horror thankfully, is not that simple. There’s always a chance that later chapters will resolve all these crazy unexplained plot elements down the line, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

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.

Remembering Emily purports to be a mystery exploring trauma, but in truth, is an odd mixture of missing content warnings, similar characters, and a disappointing end.

Still Joking had a lot of potential in its plot, but the 400,000 words did little to introduce us to it and bring it to life, settling instead for short, inorganic quips, rushed ideas, and clichés.

This game is absolutely not fun, the only appeal to this game is if you want to go abroad but don’t care about the beaches or the actual holiday part.

The game isn’t much fun and has the worst pacing imaginable. It’s probably not worth your time or money and you won’t be very impressed by anything it has to offer, so there are probably better games to spend these $3.99 on.

Everything about this game seems completely rushed. To jump onto the open world bandwagon three or four years too late and still deliver such a pile of garbage isn’t just embarrassing, it’s insulting.

A halfheartedly executed game that tries little and accomplishes less.

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.

Badminton Times has the potential to be a fun multiplayer sports title, but frustrating controls and a lack of directions make it disappointing to play.

Garbage Crew! is a neat concept, and with changes, it could be good, but the way it is now isn’t fun and ends in frustration.

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

Some brilliant 80s inspired synth tunes ruined by an abysmal game badly disguised as a commercial release. Glitchy and riddled with bugs. Recommended for masochists and nostalgia-addled Frontier fan-boys only.

REAL ESTATE Simulator - FROM BUM TO MILLIONAIRE is a dull, repetitive sim that lacks depth. If you’re looking for an original, dynamic real estate game, you won’t find it here.

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.

The most infuriating part about Tchia is that the very few enjoyable moments are incredible, letting you see exactly how great of a title this could have been if it weren't for its many lacking elements.

ITORAH's lush and vibrant environments are one of the only enjoyable aspects of the game, and even those won't manage to rope you through the game's boring storytelling and slow gameplay.

I’d recommend giving Another Sight - Hodge’s Cat a go if you’re at all interested in Another Sight, purely on the game’s aesthetics - in this case, it would definitely be worth 20 minutes of your time. Meanwhile, wishing Team Lunar the best of luck in the future, I’ll be sticking Another Sight on the ‘maybe I’ll play this someday’ list.

While a good number of the missions are fine when they work, the linearity and widespread bugs prevalent throughout the game ruins Ships 2017. Bad controls, underwhelming visuals, and plenty of other issues make this a generally unenjoyable game.

Under the Jolly Roger is hard to recommend. It may offer entertaining ship battles, but these lack enough depth to compensate for every other aspect being a drawn-out slog.

I don’t particularly like this game. It’s very competent for what seems to be the developer's first game, but the FOV issues mixed with the poor gameplay mean I didn’t enjoy my time with it.

Even if you’ve exhausted all other options and are desperate for another turn-based strategy game on PS4, don’t give the sluggish, buggy and downright ugly Jagged Alliance: Rage a second thought. XCOM 2 this most certainly isn’t.

I really wanted to like this game, and after the beta I was hoping there would be more to it than what they were testing. Unfortunately, there’s not, and there’s absolutely no way I could recommend buying this game. If you could pick it up for £10, sure, but four times that? No way.

Ooblets had enormous potential, but the sheer amount of grinding and shallow mechanics really disappointed me. Unless you don't mind dull and repetitive gameplay loops, I don't recommend trying it.

If you want play the time trials and can stomach, or at least ignore, the half-hearted attempt at a story then you might derive some enjoyment from Time Recoil. Still, things like the randomized ammo drops, muddy visuals, and poorly designed puzzles are needlessly frustrating, and your time and money would be better spent elsewhere.

Anima: Gate Of Memories is probably one of the worst experiences I’ve had on PS4 so far. Boring combat mixed with unlikable and frankly sexist characters, give me no real reason to recommend this game to anyone. Avoid.

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?

The Superfluous has a number of interesting ideas and gameplay mechanics, thought none of them feel polished or refined enough to make the title stand out. The few systems in place that are engaging are sadly not so for very long, and as a whole, The Superfluous is a title that can easily be overlooked.

Ultimately, the bland, dreary combat sinks the entirety of the experience and it’s with a heavy heart that I must warn you to avoid this title if you have any choice in the matter. Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic is a swing and a woeful miss.

Pizza Slice is a very basic cooking simulator that tries to be more than that, which just makes the experience more confusing and tedious. Combined with the number of bugs present, this title is not enjoyable at all.

It seems harsh but Freeze Me is ironically dull, repetitive beyond repute, as well as clunky in both camera movement and basic character manoeuvring. I genuinely hope that the Barcelona-based developer takes the criticism onboard to go back to the drawing board with simple, satisfying gameplay. For now, there’s little to recommend.

Behind the times and lacking in its reason, to imply that Collapsed is an exercise in any of its design would also imply it exerted in the first place. Boring gameplay with no feedback, a story simply uninterested in being told, and a visual design too zoomed out to appreciate, it struggles to find reason in a genre that allows you to exist by default.

Everything in Touhou just feels pointless; the story is drab, the combat is flat and and the action elements are uninspired. I understand it's a fan made game but I really struggle to find anything to compliment here. I can even imagine fans of the series struggling to like it, which is pretty much the nail in the coffin. Honest opinion: Avoid this like the plague.

While Crusader Kings III: Coronations isn’t bad if you manage to get it to work at all, its lacklustreness and its apparent bugginess likely won’t make the experience worth the effort.

After great first impressions showcasing fun gameplay and interesting characters, it quickly becomes a fascinatingly bad example of mech combat, lacking feedback, foresight, and fair play. Unbelievably boring offensive capabilities, a nonsensical story, and hilarious voice acting which tries its best to stand out. Unfortunately, it isn’t enough to stand out.

A quirky, fun premise let down by poor design and implementation. Bright but inconsistent visuals and reliance on meme-style humour can’t disguise the lack of fun within this budget RPG/Golf hybrid.

Hopefully the game fleshes out the base components, but if you want to experience a solid tactics style game, you couldn’t do better than look at Naruto Online.

While this review is hugely negative, the premise behind this game was a great one. While the execution wasn't great I believe that this game came out of the door too early, if the game had been delayed until later this year who knows if it would if had the same issues as it does now. Out Of Ammo is plagued with bugs and other issues, the core game is still there. While there isn't a huge amount of content to sink your teeth into, there are some fun moments to be had especially with a friend.

Soldiers of the Universe is a functionally bad game. Unfortunately, there just isn't enough that players will enjoy in regards to this story driven FPS.

Overall, I think Shadwen could be a good game, but for whatever reason I was unable to play it as the developer intended.

I don’t dislike this game because I feel morally outraged by its content or because I’m offended by its depiction of women, I dislike it because it’s just poor and lazy in almost every way.

Gumbo Machine has had over four decades to make a Berzerk rip-off but apparently chose to spend that time eating crayons instead. This is a buggy mess with no challenge to it.

SCARF is a singer without a voice and a dancer without legs. There were tons of things that could have been great within it, but none of them were capitalised on, and it felt like there weren’t enough resources spent on where it mattered.

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.

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.

Freekstorm appears to have focused their entire attention on their antagonist, relying on Kvorak to keep the players attention which ultimately fails. Clunky controls and poorly developed puzzles leaves this reviewer with only one choice...Obliterate Doctor Kvorak’s Obliteration Game.

Our World Is Ended is a beautiful looking visual novel that fails to live up to its promise. While it contains some enjoyable elements, its niche humour and oftimes uncomfortable erotic tones narrows its appeal severely. If a misunderstanding involving the sexual harassment of a 13 year old doesn't sound amusing to you, then chances are you won’t enjoy this particular game.

A hastily cobbled together mess of a videogame, Red Game Without A Great Name doesn’t deserve your attention. I suffered it so you don’t have to.

A game with a nice premise but spoiled by its execution. The parts that could have been fun were either rushed or poorly developed. I won't be holding my breath for Episode 2.

ShockRods is a disappointing game that was made with a lot of oversight. While most of the issues can be resolved with software updates and DLC maps, the base game costs £20 and you are getting what is essentially a half baked game.

While Priest Simulator: Vampire Show was fun in spite of its flaws, its DLC is hidden behind frustrating races that just aren’t fun.

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 very drab and uninteresting open world adventure game. Lacking in all key areas, and devoid of any fun whatsoever. Although, the creator must be commended on his efforts in making this game entirely be himself, sometimes it's best to leave it to the professionals.

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

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.

Gore Doctor is an example of when a developer just makes a lazy, bad game. Be warned.

Freak Crossing is not a broken game, but with no instructions and along a story full of twisted and disturbing events, it was not a fun experience for me.

When The Waylanders succeeds, the game is one of the most solid experiences I’ve had all year. But those successes are few and far between, while the rest of the title fails to keep itself afloat among a sea of bugs and poorly thought out gameplay decisions.

Despite a few neat gameplay touches Bullet Witch ultimately fails to impress and this remaster only goes to show that this game should have stayed in the past. What could have been an interesting third-person shooter is let down at almost every point by frustrating game design and bland level design.

A disappointing romp through an underwhelming narrative from an unpleasant game. Overall, just a poor time. Has the potential to be decent, but is ultimately bogged down by the plethora of issues the base game forces upon it.

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.

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

The developers would do well to take notes from From Other Suns, and if they did so, I could see this game becoming something immersive and fun. For now I wouldn’t enjoy playing it for more than an hour, and even then it seems tedious.

With a mix of stale combat, rough translation, and no saving, Ship of Mist has an interesting core concept, but the execution falls flat to the point that I cannot recommend.

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.

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

Knee Deep is a game that certainly tries to bring its world to life, but overall, doesn't make it past the first hurdle. A narrative focused title that isn't gripping nor riveting, Knee Deep shows us the negative side of storytelling.

Copycat has visual charm and enjoyable cat-based gameplay, but with a short runtime and poorly executed story, it isn’t worth your time, especially if you love cats.

Having 64 endings seems excessive when the vast majority of them aren’t worth going through the tedious mini-games for.

This game will likely make such a fleeting appearance in your life that it’ll disappear under the TV stand or behind the sofa. Sadly, a disappointment on many fronts.

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.

Unstoppable isn’t very fun and lacks some very basic functionalities, making it a frustrating and boring experience.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - Quest for Balance feels like an incomplete port of a mobile game that was retextured. It definitely isn’t worth £39.99 and I wouldn’t recommend it even if it was free.

Like the island in the title, Skull Island: Rise of Kong should be left alone by anyone curious enough to buy, play, and refund the game.

Lost in Tropics is barely a survival game and I can’t even tell it was a roguelite. There are better games that will last you longer than three real weeks than the three in-game weeks this game asks of you.

ELEX is a broken, messy game that might have some interesting ideas deep down but they won't save it. Honestly you are better of avoiding or waiting for the developers to maybe save this title.

Flix and Chill 2: Millennials attempts to give an insight into millennial culture and issues that affect the younger generation. Instead the game either misses its own point or is just comical in its delivery. There is very little game here. It is possible to finish in under two hours and with the lack of any mechanics, other than dialogue choices that may or may not even yield a different result, Flix and Chill 2: Millennials feels very lackluster.

Is ADIOS Amigo worth your time? No, not really. If you like atmospheric games then maybe, but I doubt that you’re just going to want to fly around in a game after spending 15 dollars on it. There’s a co-op option, so maybe there’s some humorous drunk playthroughs waiting there.

Rogue Continuum is an ugly game. Unfortunately, here you can judge the book by its cover, as the top-down shooter at its core is unbalanced, repetitive and unsurprising.

My final thoughts are that I appreciate the effort and difficulty of breaking into such a new area. I did not enjoy playing the game, however, and were it not for my desire to support aspiring artists, I would not spend money on this game. With all of this in mind, I still believe the developers should keep trying, as I see some promise in their concepts, but if this was their first try, which I believe to be the case, then it's not that surprising that it didn't land.

While Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris is ambitious in scope it ends up being a largely unenjoyable title full of technical problems, bugs, and horrible pacing.

Shocking, controversial, technically broken, brutally forward with its presentation, and forwardly present in its mechanics, Martha is Dead wants nothing but a shocked gasp and an article made about its material. Mission accomplished, but at the cost of integrity.

Despite the name, Mad Smartphone Tycoon is painfully dull and lacks any real sense of wonder that might keep a player invested.

I can’t think of a single redeeming feature about this game. It’s about as entertaining as a night out in Milton Keynes. Poor controls, lazy graphics, very little gameplay and everything is just a long, drawn out frustration.

Roarr! The Adventures of Rampage Rex - Jurassic Edition doesn't have a lot going for it. Dull gameplay paired with technical problems and a hideous soundtrack makes this Switch title – despite the cheap price tag – one to avoid.

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.

Is Metal Gear Survive worth it? Oh yeah, totally. Game of the Year. Honestly, I don’t know why you haven’t bought it yet! Death Stranding won’t be able to compete with this. Sarcasm aside, don’t buy this game, just don’t. Yeah, the environments and visuals are kind of neato and the feeling of helplessness certainly comes across, but it’s just a clusterf**k.

A collection of interesting ideas, none of which are executed particularly well.
