While Daymare 1998 isn’t going to light the survival horror world on fire, it is a solid first attempt at the genre. Make sure to watch some videos to get a feel for it first.

South Park Snow Day is a fun game that is a perfect fit for Game Pass or PlayStation Plus. I'd wait until it hits one of those services before checking it out.

The pint-sized action of Moto Roader MC is too small for its own good. The almighty Micro Machines have cornered the market on pint-sized thrills, and this single screen racer doesn’t do enough to dethrone the king.

FAIRY TAIL: Beach Volleyball Havoc lives up to its title with plenty of havoc, but this fanservice-laden sports title isn’t quite an ace. Fans of the time-tested series will appreciate its chaos, but don’t expect to spend too much time on its shimmering sands.

Blasting through the higher difficulty levels with friends is great fun, and the initial few hours are a pleasure, but once you get into the meat of the game and its myriad of glaring issues, it quickly becomes apparent that this game is not living up to its own potential.

The idea of dating the figurehead of KFC is a novel one, but I Love You, Colonel Sanders! is a joke with no punchline. Dipping into the absurd is fine, but the lack of follow-through makes this visual novel drier than the fast food chain’s biscuits.

If you’ve got the slightest interest in the horror genre, you’ve already seen what Night Book has to offer. The idea of a full motion video tale with multiple endings is a noble one, but the poor acting and breakneck pace ruin its chances of ever standing out.

Hardcore JRPG fans will likely enjoy customizing the base, upgrading the facilities, and perhaps even the simplicity of the combat. However, for anyone looking for a worthwhile RPG experience, Arc of Alchemist is not it.

My time with Babylon's Fall was a strange one. I don't recall ever disliking a game so heavily, only to fall in love with it moments later. The satisfaction driven nature of the experience is a road worth taking, but the slow burn isn't for everyone.

Even the most devout survival horror fan will have trouble enjoying Red Colony. The overly basic puzzles, broken combat, and cliché plot all come together to make this a low point of the genre.

It is good to know that we already know the worst game of the year in May. Do yourself a favor and forget about The Lord of the Rings: Gollum – it is anything but precious.

Daddy is a buggy game that had little thought put into its world. Item management, along with its unnecessary hunger mechanic, make its absurdly short playtime drag on far longer than it has any right to.

Hot Pink is an interesting take on the brick breaking formula, but the changes made are somewhat questionable. Those looking for something new in the space might get a kick out of its procedurally generated levels, but most will likely go back to Breakout or Arkanoid for their fix.

A number of questionable design decisions make InkSplosion far worse than it has any right to be. As it stands, this is one game solely for achievement hunters and nobody else.

Thunderbowl is a broken game. The lack of work that went into its design is apparent, and it is a waste of time for anybody brave enough to pick it up on Steam.

The brick breaking mechanics of Highscore Processing Unit take some getting used to, but the robust leaderboard support and score-based gameplay will appeal to those looking to rise the ranks.

NEO NEO is a breath of fresh air in the twin stick shooter space. Warping is a game changer, and its pick up and play nature makes it easy to jump in anytime.

A generic shooter that brings nothing new to the table. This is one broken game, and there is no incentive to even give this title a passing glance.

Jumponaut has got his heart in the right place, but its puzzle platforming formula just provides far too much frustration for any extended period of time.

Brain 43℃ is a poorly made visual novel. The blatant grammatical errors and pretentious tone do not do the game any favors, and make its already short length feel like an eternity.

Manaya tries something new with its roguelike elements, but the lack of depth and effort that went into the game is apparent. It just feels too one dimensional, and it is hard to get invested in the game when repetition sets in early on.

Grabity is a casual party game that largely succeeds at what it tries to do. It’s not the deepest or unique title around, but those looking for a new game for their group can do far worse.

In a game that lives and dies by its physics, the engine powering Curling World Cup is positively broken. It’s nearly impossible to play a consistent game, and this fact takes away the one redeeming quality of this title.

Project Pastorate’s world is one full of character, but the execution of its story could have used some fine-tuning. Those looking for something different can certainly find it here, but don’t be surprised if you end up checking the Velvet Book for notes on more than one occasion.

Super Pillow Fight takes a one-note joke and puts a price tag on it. It is not fun to play, and the lack of detail that went into its engine is apparent.

Boxes Inc. tries to tap into the same vein as titles like Papers, Please, but this title does not have any of the charm or enjoyability. It feels like work, and there is little satisfaction to be had in its mailroom.

Visceral Cubes is a horror game that lacks soul. Not much effort was put into its world, making it an easy pass for even the most diehard fans of the genre.

Blood Waves feels like a pale imitation of Resident Evil’s Mercenaries mode. Though the traps players can set add some variety, the lack of character and polish in this title is blatantly apparent.
