The art was fairly pleasant and vividly detailed. I enjoyed looking at the scenery and characters as they were drawn well. But with the horribly painful interactions and long drawn out scenes of nothing that I had to force myself to get through, the art just didn’t make up for it.

Deadly Rain just doesn’t do enough to separate itself from Call of Duty: Zombies. It’s fine for what it is, but there isn’t much incentive to buy this game.

Whilst there is an undeniable charm to Build Lands, it’s quickly lost thanks to the repetitive nature of the prebuilt levels and occasional issues when creating your own island.

Antro is a good soundtrack full of Spanish artists you should try out… that comes with a free game. Its message, while important, is played out like a song on repeat, and there isn’t much more substance past that. Just go get the OST.

The Last Oricru can be terrible in some parts, but when it's good, it's delightful — though, I can't recommend it outside of its co-op elements, and I'd avoid it as a single-player title overall.

A great tutorial and scenario mode with a great aesthetic and attention to detail, let down by graphical issues and poor implementation of standard chess notation.

The connecting of cards was rather fluid and the explosions worked like they said they would. I was a little confused on the points system, but I didn’t care enough to investigate further. Other then that the game ran great. Which is terrible simply because I can’t give a worse rating. That’s really all I looked forward to which may sound petty, but remember kids! I’m not the one who made Didgery. I’m just the sucker who has to talk about it.

MotoGP 17 is, all in all, the choice motorcycle racer for fans. Unfortunately, this is due to a lack of options rather than anything else.

Book of Demons is hard to recommend to either casual and hardcore players. Instead of being a simpler dungeon crawling experience that newcomers could enjoy, it’s instead bland and unintuitive. You’re better off trying out already established ARPGs, while waiting for the upcoming releases of Diablo IV and Torchlight III that are looking to offer far more interesting gameplay.

Surprisingly complex maths equations paired with a ticking timer might have been the single deterring factor in Tales of Mathasia if it wasn’t for the consistently wrong English and shoddy proofreading throughout an educational title.

No Straight Roads is a videogame first and foremost; and by videogame standards, this was a poor effort for such wasted potential.

Curiosity might be enough for some to get through the frankly odd story and inconsistent writing, but as a whole Army Gals is a lackluster experience.

Taxi LIfe: A City Driving Simulator is a really good idea for a game ruined by a lack of goals, bad area design, optimisation issues, and awful controls.

What could have been is a theme writ large in this game. The mark was missed by so narrow a margin it’s a real shame. I’m not going to say avoid like the plague like I did with Hatred, because Train Mechanic Simulator 2017 has its good points, but if you decide to buy the game, be aware that you’re not buying what a lot of people would consider a completed product.

A Bastard's Tale is a visually appealing game with nothing to do. Barebones from front to back and a lacking experience, this title is nothing but a tall tale.

Overall, the game seems very unbalanced, with poor sound usage, simple animations, messy UI, and a difficulty curve after death.

A Game of Chaess is an interesting idea executed in a bad manner. It’s too easy to be entertaining and there are some really annoying things during the experience. It lacks any meaningful gameplay changes from standard chess and just makes strategy less important.

An exciting idea combining two popular genres that unfortunately fails to be an enjoyable experience, mainly because of its stale gameplay.

Despite having a solid atmosphere and an occasional interesting puzzle, it unfortunately fails to capture the depth of the games it's replicating.

Within the opening hours of Areia: Pathway to Dawn you can see what the developers were trying to do with its beautiful visuals and overall religious vibe, but it ultimately falls flat due to its repetitive puzzles and assuming the audience is familiar with Buddhism.

A walking simulator which has absolutely no narrative or creepy beasts.

If this was a flash game in the early 2000s on Newgrounds then it might have been worth a quick play for half an hour, but as a chargeable game on Steam, even at a rather generously budget price, I just can’t find enough to recommend it. It feels like a proof-of-concept demo that’s been released without adding the actual game to it. The fact that writing this review has taken me longer than it took to complete the game speaks volumes. At least completing this review will give me a sense of satisfaction, which is more than I can say for The Game We All Have To Play.

The inclusion of popular Vtubers’ isn’t enough to save Neptunia Virtual Stars, as it ends up being an underwhelming mess that fails to deliver.

Although fun for a little while, Blood Alloy lacks variety and fails to capture the player’s interests. At its best, it’s a fast paced run ‘n’ gunner that fails to explain itself; at its worst, it’s dull, buggy and makes use of cheap techniques to keep players torturing themselves.

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.

Sadly, what little fun there is to be had with Monkey King: Hero Is Back is constantly ruined with poor level design, repetitive encounters and annoying sound design.

A frustrating game based on an interesting idea, poor execution and small niggles add up to make this a deeply unpleasant experience.

There is fun to be had here, but it’s limited by not having enough to actually do in the game. If more people were playing online it might be a different story, but it’s not.
