    Jettomero: Hero of the Universe is visually very beautiful, but it feels like a game that contains a number of unfinished ideas wrapped up in a gorgeous package.

    Structurally it’s a mess, with most missions playing out as grind-fests through dull-as-dishwater locales, and with the kind of misogynistic portrayal of supposedly-strong female characters that gives the genre a bad name, this is the very worst that JRPGs have to offer, and we can only recommend that you divorce yourself from any thoughts of shelling out your hard-earned cash on it.

    Aztech Forgotten Gods has a great setting, but that doesn't excuse how bad controlling the main character feels.

    This is a lazy cash in, a shoddy waste of your time with nothing to recommend beyond the fact it’s one of the cheapest games in the PSVR catalogue thus far.

    It is just sad that when the sport is on the crest of a wave of popularity, Cyanide couldn’t have done something to make their simulation more appealing to the general populace.

    Let me put it to you this way. I actually stopped playing The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to do some other work. I’d play a mission, decide I couldn’t take any more and go do something else instead, just to get away from it. Quite frankly, that’s the opposite of what a game should be.

    Flashback 2 is a mind-boggling mess of a game with few redeeming features, and a sequel we just didn’t need.

    Carnival games falls so short of achieving anything good that it’s genuinely hard to think of a reason for anyone to buy it.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Inexcusable glitches, unresponsive controls, broken combat, bizarre gameplay design (hacking games, really?), unfair enemies and completely unnecessary loading times make for a monumental disappointment.

    That Babylon's Fall comes from Platinum Games is perhaps the biggest surprise here. A banal, uninspired hack 'n' slasher with no imagination or personality.

    Ultimately, The Deer God’s biggest sin is that it just feels utterly pointless. There is no emotional reason for me to play, and the gameplay is so benign and fruitless that it just made me wonder why I still held the controller in my hand. It may be trying to convey some important message about nature of survival, but it’s nowhere near engaging enough to be noticed.

    The gaming equivalent of a knock-off Rolex, Girl Fight takes all the concepts and themes of Dead or Alive, imitates its combat’s mechanics with no idea how to make them enjoyable, plays up its more repulsive features, and pretends to be the real deal when it’s nothing more than a cheap, tacky, disposable imitation.

    As a Switch port, this is very good but as a game it is not worth your time unless you’re a die hard for a Sin City like aesthetic and need a new match 3 game with it.

    There are a lot of characters here, and the game covers quite a bit of narrative ground, but the presentation and combat engine are just so clumsy that it’s impossible to recommend Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers to anyone but the most desperate fans of the anime.

    Devil's Third is an ugly, unoriginal, archaic adventure that seems determined to sabotage everything good in it.

    A poor offering from Red Dev leaves us with a game almost impossible to recommend.
    • 41 Metascore

    Even at just shy of three quid, this feels like poor value. Small developers should be taking these opportunities to create interesting and worthwhile ideas, not pointless relics like Turtle Tale that belong on a Mastertronic cassette in the darkest recesses of gaming’s past.

    A bog-standard dungeon crawler with added boobies, Party Favors offers forgettable titillation but almost no actual substance.

    Flip Wars is not worth buying at all right now and it needs a lot of work to come close to being decent let alone good.

    Invizimals: The Lost Kingdom is not only a bad game, it’s also the sort of lazy, badly-executed tripe that you would have seen during the last days of the original PlayStation.

    Ice Mechanica is technically a competent game, but it commits the cardinal sin of gaming by being not very fun at all.

    Young Justice: Legacy exists as a video game accompaniment to the TV series, and in this regard it’s a repetitive, unsatisfying, and unimpressive failure. There are better scrolling beat-em up’s out there, and there’s more than enough Superhero media around to help you avoid playing this.

    Aggressively un-enjoyable. Senseless level design, poor hit detection, and cheap deaths combine for a wholly repellent experience.

    As its name suggests, playing this at times is painful, void of fun, and a chore that could've been avoided had a lot more care been put into it.

    A wonderful claymation art style and a unique soundtrack aren’t enough to save this point-and-click adventure from its own monotonous puzzles and uninteresting story.

    The authenticity to the series shown in the cutscenes and the general presentation would be enough to make an average game a little more attractive to fans – but, sadly, this is way below an average game.

    Even those who enjoy a word puzzle will find Wordhunters frustrating and dull. It lacks any spark, and should be avoided.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    An uninspired, unoriginal Left4Dead clone that suffers from wishy-washy shooting and a lack of polish.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Rekoil is a banal title with poorly implemented features, confusing UI and ugly aesthetics. I can appreciate what Plastic Piranha tried to do, but sadly they have failed to deliver on promises of balanced, competitive gameplay – and even on some of the basic core mechanics of a competent FPS.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A tedious slog that sullies the legacy of its vaunted predecessors.
