    Chernobylite
    Chernobylite is a frustrating game. It’s far from unenjoyable, but there was so much potential here for something greater. At its core, it’s a fantastic recreation of Chernobyl that’s inundated with mechanics that aren’t required to enjoy this game. The Farm 51 nail atmosphere and the world, yet never seemed satisfied with what they actually wanted the game to be. It doesn’t ruin the overall experience for Chernobylite, which manages to hit the goalpost of greatness before rebounding into the net of mediocrity.

    Twelve Minutes
    Twelve Minutes is a videogame that is fantastic in every area, except being a videogame. There’s a lot to love, and I think people will overlook its faults. Sadly those faults are there, almost completely tanking an otherwise excellent piece of fiction.

    Story of a Gladiator
    Story of a Gladiator offers tight combat mechanics and varied beat ‘em up gameplay, but difficulty spikes from level to level introduce a massive grind for upgrades.

    War Tech Fighters
    It does its job well as a Gundam-style mech shooter, but it just doesn’t do quite enough to keep me going back in for more action. The majority of levels are just “go here, shoot this, follow that”, which unfortunately gets very repetitive after a couple of hours. There’s a lot you can do with customisation, though.

    Farming Simulator 17
    Farming Simulator 17’s odd mix of authenticity and not-quite simulation is curious. The core gameplay loop is by its very nature extremely repetitive but if you have an interest in farming you’ve probably already bought into the idea. It’s certainly not a bad game but it’s definitely an acquired taste.

    Children of Zodiarcs
    Combat sequences can be a bit long, The text story is slightly on the dull side. But it really makes up for it's challenging and engaging combat style.

    Weyrdlets
    Weyrdlets is a cute application that gives you a little buddy to hang out with as you work or are otherwise on the PC. The pets are goofy and adorable, though the productivity tools may leave one wanting.

    Caromble!
    Caromble! is a fun and exciting brick-breaking adventure with tons of love and passion down to its very core. Though it can have some very frustrating moments, you’ll never get bored while playing.

    Rebel Engine
    Rebel Engine might have some issues with game design and technical aspects, but it’s still a fun and stylish character action game that’s worth the time and effort to master.

    Warhammer: Chaosbane
    The artwork at the beginning of each act is beautifully drawn. The music is also quite powerful and foreboding as it sets the mood for the game.

    Airheart: Tales of Broken Wings
    Airheart - Tales of Broken Wings is an intense twin-stick shooter that at times will have you on the edge of your seat. However, Airheart is let down by the vast amount of grinding it takes to reach its endgame, and with minimal story elements peppered throughout, it's hard to see a lot of players following through right to the very end.

    LEGO DC Super-Villains
    I want to like this game, but the same bugs keep coming up time and time again in these LEGO games, which made me dread playing it. Get LEGO Batman 2: DC Super-Heroes, and wait for a sale.

    HuniePop 2: Double Date
    It could have, and should have, been so much more than just a bigger version of the original. The new characters would have been problematic in 2015, let alone 2021.

    Pacer
    Though there are a lot of issues under the hood, Pacer is a decent anti-grav racer at heart. If R8 Games continue to tinker, tweak, support and add enough post-launch content - the potential is there for this series to become a serious contender.

    Dark Sheep
    If you already enjoy the Soko-baa-n puzzle genre, Dark Sheep will probably whet your appetite. With a novel premise and visual homage to the commodore 64, it’s short and sweet but nothing more than a little treat… just put the music volume on 0 for your own sanity.

    Yo-kai Watch Blasters: Red Cat Corps
    It’s not going to change the world, but it would certainly interest a tween that wants to get into RPGs.

    Bonito Days
    Bonito Days is a super cute and simple game that is reminiscent of Super Monkey Ball, but with camera issues and short single-player game it’s hard to fully recommend.

    Classified: France '44
    A fairly engaging and challenging turn-based tactical game, Classified: France ‘44 is, unfortunately, let down by the frequent bugs and a basic presentation.

    Alaskan Road Truckers
    Just like petrol station food, Alaskan Road Truckers: Highway Edition is simple, but gets the job done. Some added mechanics help to keep the gameplay fresh in this unforgiving environment.

    Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty
    It’s pretty good but has some very annoying problems and not the most logical AI. It can be enjoyable for grand-strategy players, although I can’t really recommend it to anyone but the rare people who want an unexpected and honestly weird take on strategy.

    Epic Manager: Create Your Own Adventuring Agency!
    ManaVoid Entertainment have created a game that combines two genres together surprisingly well, yet there are some areas that leave it wanting. In trying to be be the best of both worlds, the game doesn’t really manage to excel in either.

    Looper Tactics
    Looper Tactics is a fun game with some interesting mechanics, yet it struggles to stand out in its current state.

    Special Tactics
    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.

    Green With Energy
    Green With Energy is nice but isn’t anything special. With its cheap price, it’s still a good purchase if you’re looking for a purely puzzle-based game, though.

    Maelstrom (2018)
    A solid game at its core but lacks the content remain engaging in the long term.

    2.5 DIMENSIONAL SEDUCTION: Angels on Stage!
    A great adaptation, some might say a direct adaptation, but there’s not much gameplay here, especially once you unlock Auto Mode.

    Hammerwatch II
    I loved Hammerwatch II's fighting and gameplay, but the lacklustre narrative, unrewarding sidequests, and uninformative quests and world traversal leave much to be desired.

    Crime O'Clock
    Crime O’Clock offers a detailed, charming world with innovative hidden object gameplay, but excessive dialogue and repetitive mini-games will interrupt your point-and-click adventure too many times to count.

    Planar Conquest
    I can only recommend this to game to anyone that is obsessed with 4X games and is willing to put up with the flaws and bugs, the sorcerer customisation and leveling up is extremely satisfying as you can truly build your character in the way you want.

    Boti: Byteland Overclocked
    Boti: Byteland Overclocked is an enjoyable and simple retro-inspired platformer with plenty of collect-a-thon features that are all too welcome. But it's only an enjoyable experience when it works, and after level three, it's a coin flip on whether it does.
