Contrary to expectations, Cyberpunk 2077 is not going to set the world on fire. It's not the gaming revolution that was promised to us, but it's still a fun RPG- with plenty of room for improvement.

Killsquad can be passingly fun in short doses, but it has too many significant issues to be an easy recommendation for even the genre's biggest fans.

Cricket 24 builds on its predecessor with better visuals and presentation but could have used more fine-tuning. If you're happy with Cricket 22, there's little reason to play the sequel.

There's some fun to be had in Gungrave G.O.R.E, but it's buried beneath piles of significant issues.

The inherent strengths of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas allow GTA: The Trilogy to be an enjoyable experience on a very fundamental level, but as a remaster – especially as a remaster of three of the greatest games ever made – it falls short of expectations. These games deserve much better, and it’s disappointing that Rockstar doesn’t understand that.

Star Wars Hunters is a surprisingly fun hero shooter wrapped around a somewhat aggressive live-service model.

Redfall is Arkane's most underwhelming game to date. A fascinating setting and some remnants of the developer's beloved gameplay formula aren't enough to overcome the game's numerous issues, from stiff controls and disappointingly rote design choices to lackluster storytelling and technical deficiencies.

Unfortunately, despite the flashiness of it all, combat ultimately gets repetitive, and the lack of interesting enemies only exacerbates the issue.

Plagued with a plethora of issues, but still occasionally fun, Bright Memory is one of the most confusing games I've played in some time.

Dolmen relies too much on the Soulslike playbook to be much of anything other than a middling iteration of the formula.

Despite its laughable plot, Outpost: Infinity Siege starts with some potential. Unfortunately, the tedious rogue-like elements, extraction shooter resource gathering and other questionable design choices dilute the experience.

MX vs ATV Legends could have been a decent arcade-style, sim-lite racer. Whatever appeal could be found in mastering jumps and customizing vehicles is beset by numerous issues. It's not grossly offensive but you're better off investing time in just about any other racer.

Systemic Reaction's rogue-lite starts out promising but fumbles due to technical issues, repetitive combat, and much more.

The Last Oricru gains momentum about as often as it trips over itself, resulting in a very mediocre game overall.

NASCAR 21 Ignition provides a sufficient, no-frills NASCAR-themed racing game with little else going for it.

Irritating gameplay issues aside, this is a decently fun nostalgia romp through Episode I's setting.

Rennsport is a pro-focused racer that shows promise but falls short of Gran Turismo’s heights, remaining enjoyable yet held back by notable caveats.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown doesn't scale the heights of other virtual tourism open world racers in recent years, but it's an enjoyable driving game in its own right, even with its rough edges.

Maybe there's some superficial, fleeting fun to be had here, but TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants is far too simplistic, straightforward, and shallow to ultimately be anything more than an utterly forgettable disappointment.

A straightforward 1v1 samurai fighting game with very little content on its bones. Fine if you just want some quick and fun matches against friends, but there's not enough here to hold interest for long.

Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance has good ideas, but poor enemy variety, samey levels, bad puzzles, a shockingly poor story, the lack of local co-op, several quality-of-life issues, and numerous bugs that affect every aspect of the game make it hard to recommend to anyone, no matter how much they like the source material.

Custom Mech Wars is an underwhelming mech game that's plagued by issues like repetitive mission design, a boring story, and an underwhelming visual presentation.

Silent Hill: The Short Message isn't going to set the horror genre ablaze, but it doesn't have to. As a free offering, it's a solid showcase with a heavy atmosphere and heavier subjects, even if its narrative could have been more subtle.

All the glitz and dopamine-inducing loot drops can't stop The First Descendant from feeling generic, repetitive and just plain soulless.

Crime Boss: Rockay City’s heist gameplay is squandered by a myriad of bugs, mindless, boring gameplay, and a severe lack of fun despite its best attempts to have the presence of GTA and the mechanics of Payday, both of which are much better games.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is an unremarkable experience that feels like a faint shadow of the games that clearly inspired it.

Industria 2 has a great premise and fun gameplay, but it’s in dire need of better optimization.

Outside of nostalgia, G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout does not stand apart from the generic third-person shooter, and its inconsistent gameplay and repetitive missions further mute its impact.
