There’s literally no break from the boredom because the combat is just as bad as the story.

Good Lord, so far I think this was my Tony Hawk of 2016 despite me being slightly more generous.

Basically, Space Overlords consists of a game with a somewhat neat tutorial level, and barely anything else of note. If you ever find yourself wondering what you missed by not playing this game, just stare at a wall until the feeling goes away, since that's a pretty good approximation of what you'd be doing with it, anyway.

Top Gun's nostalgia factor is writing cheques/checks this game can't cash, leaving it flat-spinning into oblivion. This game has lost that lovin' feeling and now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa.

It's not that Road Rage is terrible, as much as it is unintuitive and frustrating. You can see the potential for something better, but it just never comes into being.

I’ll freely admit that my expectations may have been a tad high, and that for someone who’s far more into politics than is healthy, it would’ve been hard for The Political Machine 2020 to compare to the real thing. But this game barely even tries. Rather than offering players a chance to play a real-life real-time strategy game, it reduces politics and campaigns to nothing more than clicking a few random icons for points and cash, and it’s impossible to see how that could possibly be seen as a good thing.

The game does have a multiplayer mode, but no one on the Internet is playing it. When you refresh the server list, you get nothing.

The attempt at immersion just drags down the overall experience, and alongside the problematic camera, and sharp contrast between the complicated controls and button-mash-to-win combat, Colosseum finds itself straddling the middle ground between fighting and role-playing games, lacking the redeeming characteristics of either genre.

If Schacht were free, I could see suggesting people check it out, since it shows some promise, and it suggests that the people behind it may be worth watching. But at a price of literally any amount above zero, there’s just no way you’re getting your money’s worth here.

Black Rainbow is a deeply, deeply stupid game. If someone told me that the game was made by throwing a bunch of random point & click adventure tropes into some kind of AI adventure game generator, I would have no problem believing that. It’s just that lousy on every level. But at least it’s short, and at least it didn’t put me to sleep, right? Black Rainbow could always have been worse. Not much worse, though. There’s a whole lot of genuinely bad elements here mixed in with a couple of head-scratching decisions, and they add up to make a game you simply shouldn’t play.

If Cybarian’s goal was to remind people that a lot of the games from 30 years ago were lousy-to-mediocre, mission accomplished, but if they wanted to do anything more than that, they didn’t come anywhere close to succeeding.

Foxyland may not have been a great game, but it was a fine way to pass an hour or two. Foxyland 2 isn’t even that: it’s just a bad game that constantly makes bad choices, and it’s absolutely worth avoiding.

Some pretty broken gameplay and annoying technical issues create a fairly lackluster gaming experience.

It's all very ho-hum, even down to the visuals which are neither pleasing nor revolting. This is a game which when you play it, you'll wish you were playing a different game that it reminds you of which is more fun, and then you end up just wanting to play that other game.

As much as I’ve always liked the Danganronpa series, I can’t imagine wanting to sink endless amounts of time or money into such an empty, boring game. And given we’re talking about a series for which the word “boring” should never apply, that should tell you how much of a failure this game is.

But unless your mommy tucks you into your Scooby-Doo bed sheets at night, you probably won’t be entirely satisfied.

Word Puzzle is an annoying, lazy, and boring game, and gets a definitely do not buy from me.

Even if you somehow ignore the platforming and the combat – and you shouldn’t, because those are the most important parts of the game – there’s nothing here worth recommending. You have a garish color scheme, annoyingly repetitive music, and grating voices. The Legend of Gwen is just an all-around bad, bad game.

There just didn’t seem to be much care put into this title, and if I were a fan of the series, I’d consider this title a slap in the face.

For the template the game sets out to fulfill-a story of time travel and mystery solving, it really ends up being too linear and unappealing in many rights to hold anyone's attention aside from previous fans.

Overall, Carrier Command: Gaea Mission manages to get the concept part of the original 1988 release right, but everything else about the game manages to feel horribly wrong. Gaea Missions poor controls, awful path finding, and ridiculous A.I. keeps this from being any sort of enjoyable experience. I would unfortunately suggest that you avoid this particular title at all costs, as I find little redeemable about the entire experience.

If somehow, Nintendo thinks due to the price gouging, people want this and they restock it, wait for a price drop.

Really, just about the only thing Costume Kingdom has going for it is that there’s no Pokémon on the PS4 (though, I’ll note, there is a Digimon game or two). So if you’re insane and want to experience Pokémon without going to the trouble of buying a Switch, I guess this is the game for you? That, however, would be an absurd course of action, since Costume Kingdom is very, very bad. Save yourself the trouble, splurge on a Nintendo system, and just get Pokémon instead, because this game certainly isn’t worth anything.

All of that may appeal to very young kids of roughly the same age as Barney's fans, but playing the game is another matter. Any child old enough to hold a controller has outgrown the concepts here.

It's certainly not the experience that someone would buy a PlayStation Move for.

What ends up happening is that you'll just punch and kick your way through the game. Sure, you'll change characters and gain access to new special moves, but it's still the same thing over and over. Punch, kick, block. Rinse, lather, repeat.

The story lacks depth, the same way the cartoon did, and when you have such a run-of-the-mill platform game you really need an engaging story.

The gameplay feels like someone tried to mix the gameplay of "Super Smash Brothers" with that of a more traditional 3D fighter and gave up half-way through, while the design of story mode is likely confusing and potentially frustrating for the younger crowd.
