    From its restrictive mission structures, unbalanced difficulty and frustrating means of progression, The Walking Dead struggles to justify the time it requires from you. It's a collection gameplay blueprints stacked upon one another without thoughtful consideration on how they might cohesively work together, wrapped up in a dull presentation and mundane combat that very rarely excites. The Walking Dead is a mess of scattered ideas and a lack of direction, and there's no reason to make sense of it all.

    One of the worst action games of the last 10 years.

    With all the bugs ironed out, Next Stop Nowhere would have been a pleasant, albeit inessential, jaunt with some interesting characters and a disappointing lack of consequence. In its current state, it’s a broken, frustrating experience on top of that. As an Apple Arcade exclusive, Next Stop Nowhere isn’t asking for additional payments beyond your subscription, but right now it’s not worth the time you’ll have to invest to finish it. I like Beckett and Serra, and I’d love to be on board with their road trip through space; unfortunately, the game gets a flat tyre midway through that it never replaces.

    Decent ideas can't rescue this shoddy survival horror game from its dismal fate.

    Valhalla Knights 3 is a far cry from being any sort of enjoyable. The setting and class system, while great in theory, are attached to a game that is ugly, grind-heavy, laughably animated, and just plain unpleasant on numerous levels.

    Western Outlaw's primitive production values, brain-dead AI, and shamefully brief campaign make it a game that everyone should definitely avoid.

    Even for the budget price tag that Miami Takedown is retailing for, this bomb is a horrible choice for anyone, and it should absolutely be avoided.

    Whether you're a fan of the cartoon or a fan of fighting games, Legend of the Dragon is a total disappointment.

    Spy-story noir meets ridiculous adventure-game puzzles in this misguided tale of Nazis and nukes.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A frequently maddening slog through isometric hell, framed by a broken story and sloppy mechanics, suggesting that what the game needed more than anything was further play testing and refinement.

    Diabolical Pitch is ridiculous, but in all the wrong ways.
    • 53 Metascore

    Glitches, stereotypical characters, and dull combat betray any chance of Deadfall Adventures providing any real incentive for your troubles. Digging into this game yields not a rough-cut gem, but rather a lump of coal that should have stayed buried.

    It's among the worst action-adventure games ever released and is so crippled by confusing camera angles and bad control that it seems less like a game and more like a parody of its genre.

    Bad gameplay, bad jokes, and bad technical execution make Postal III one bad game.

    There’s almost no joy to be found in playing Left Alive, only bitter disappointment.

    G.I. Combat's biggest shortcoming is that it has very little gameplay. Instead, it has a heap of confusion.

    Speakeasy being just a simple, ignorable bad game could be accepted, but the fact that it had to drag a fantastic premise down with it is criminal.

    Game-breaking glitches and a poor camera make TMNT: Out of the Shadows a bruised and battered shell of what it could have been.

    It's hard to resent a game as unapologetically dweeby as The Sinking City. It's an old-fashioned, bookish mystery rooted in the mythology and mysteries of a pulpy, cult-favorite mid-century American novelist--an effort not without charm, to be sure. But no matter how fond your affection for H.P. Lovecraft and the idea of a wide-eyed, slow-burn literary adventure, the poor design, cliched writing, and lumbering pace make this far more tedious than delightful, let alone unsettling or terrifying.

    There's no way to break the curse on this staggeringly bad action game.

    I entered Agony’s Gates of Hell with a slack-jawed gasp. It is such a disappointment to have to have left it with a shrug.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Its lack of survival depth and inclination to only reward time served instead of clever play saps whatever life it might have had to give.

    Endless Ocean: Luminous could have been a realistic SCUBA sim with all the treacherous hazards that real underwater divers need to consider, a relaxing chill-vibes game that's mostly about finding fish with your friends, or a story-driven game centered around discovering awesome and even extinct underwater beasts. It has pieces of all of those, but it doesn't commit to any of them. Instead, it takes the enormity and glory of earth's largest and most mysterious region and turns exploring it into a dull, repetitive chore.

    This top-down shooter with no shooting in it might just break your wrist.

    There's not an ounce of fun to be found anywhere in this simplistic and tedious adventure game.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 29 Critic Score
    Couldn't possibly appeal to anyone. With a seemingly random frame rate, stiff and ugly animation, and a control scheme that fights you every step of the way.

    Fans of modern shooters will have no use for this trite, monotonous junk, and fans of the original Space Invaders will simply be appalled at how Taito has butchered its classic gameplay into this one-dimensional mess.

    You can accelerate up to 200mph within seconds and survive a brutal wall impact, but a low-speed scuff on the turf sends your car spinning.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 29 Critic Score
    A complete mess. Virtually every technical and stylistic aspect of the game is either shoddily handled or feels somehow incomplete.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 29 Critic Score
    Dragon Booster is a halfhearted and practically unplayable racing game with no redeeming qualities.
