    It's hard to believe that it was Paul Cuisset, the creator of the first Flashback, who created such a sequel. Graphics close to the PS1 era, animations done with a trowel, we can clearly see that this Flashback 2 did not have a large budget to create. But financial means in no way excuse a completely shoddy game design choice, not to mention its execution which gives the feeling of a blatant lack of expertise. Not only is Flashback 2 a technical failure, but it is also an indigestible game due to its clumsy gameplay, completely paralyzed by mechanics from another century.

    Inspector Gadget: Mad Time Party has all the flaws that a failed game could have imagined: obsolete graphics and animations, technically shameful, non-existent gameplay, catastrophic gameplay, uninteresting mini-games and a playing time of 1h30, the game gives the impression to have been developed in the space of 3 months. The disaster is total and undoubtedly industrial.

    Take a little Animal Crossing, add a pinch of Stardew Valley, mix it all up in a Disney cauldron, and you've got Disney Dreamlight Valley! If the formula gives the impression of having the air of a thoughtful marketing project, the game is actually surprisingly effective and endearing. [Early Access Score = 80]

    We were expecting a pure and hard tennis simulation, but Matchpoint Tennis Championships is really just an arcade game that doesn't even measure up to the first Virtua Tennis. The gameplay is poor and limited, the game is visually ugly, and the online mode often drags. A pure disaster.

    Postal 4 is like the logo of Running with Scissors: a dirty kid running with scissors who takes the risk of hurting himself with them. And the game actually crashes, due to its dubious humor and a rather deplorable technical record.

    XIII Remake could well be called a demake as this new version feels a step back from the original game. Littered with bugs, the game is rendered almost unplayable, and we still don't get how it could be released in this state.

    The Bluecoats: North & South is quite posibly the worst remake we've seen this year (considering it's a remake of another remake). For 40 buck you'll have barely 2h of gameplay, but a truckload of bugs and technical problems. Avoid it, even if you're a fan of the books.

    Those Who Remain is way to shaky to bring the players in a world of horror, or even have the slightest feel of fear. If you seek thrills, you can find much better elsewhere, and probably for cheaper.

    Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories could have been an interesting game about earthquakes if it didn't feel like it was made 15 years ago, as the visuals are appalling.

    One Punch Man : A Hero Nobody Knows is a very poor attempt at making a videogame out of this IP. The visuals are sub-par, the animations are appalling, the combat system is repetitive and the story mode feels dull. A game to avoid, even if you're a fan.

    Clearly too ambitious, Fade to Silence looses itself in the many things it tries, but ultimately fails, to achieve. Apart from the visuals, we can't really find anything appealing, from the rigid gameplay to the poor game design, and worst of all, that punishing permadeath system.

    If we thought that Generation Zero's Concept was worthy, we made a big mistake as nothing makes us want to play this game apart from the nice graphics and the tense atmosphere. Everything else is a true mess, from the repetitive action to the truckloads of bugs.

    Since we played Jump Force at E3 2018, we knew it would be a bad game, but we couldn't have guessed it would be so messed up. The game is technically obsolete, the art direction is awful and the gameplay is limited. As for the single player campaign, it will disgust you for good.

    Gear.Club Unlimited 2 was supposed to be an improvement over the first iteration of the game, and clearly it isn't as all the flaws are still there, but with new ones added like a massive input lag.

    SNK Heroines is a weird spin-off of KOF XIV that aims at the male audience by selecting the female protagonists of the game. But the gameplay has been ruined for the sake of accessibility, and the oversexualized leftover has us still puzzled.

    Square Enix and Human Head Studios had an idea, but the final product is a true disaster which misses its point in every aspect with appalling gameplay and a lousy storyline. Maybe one of the worst games of 2018.

    Sadly, if BigBen Interactive has sold us Tennis World Tour as "The new game from the creators of Top Spin", it couldn't be further from the truth. Clearly rushed to be released during the french open, the game suffers from broken gameplay, vastly outdated graphics and minimalist content.

    In spite of a promising overhaul, Dynasty Warriors 9 fails in every aspect with it's soulless open worlds, its lousy gameplay and a truckload of technical problems from AI pathfinding to aliasing and atrocious clipping. Only give it a shot if you're amongst the most hardcore fans of the IP.

    Gear.Club Unlimited is just a bad port of an otherwise successful mobile racing game. Even if the content is generous, the game is expensive, the gameplay is a joke, the AI is crap and the graphics are ugly. Don't bother with this one if you really like cars and racing games.

    There is not much to praise in FlatOut 4: Total Insanity. The FaltOut mode is fun and brings back some good old memories, but everything else is trash. Sad for an IP that had its fans back in the day.

    What a waste! 1-2 Switch should have been sold with the Switch. Instead, Nintendo decided to sell it 50€. Once you played the entire 28 mini-games, only 10 of them are funny. Yes, it’s a scam.

    Four years after Operation Raccoon, Capcom ventures once again in the TPS multiplayer genre with Umbrella Corps. But the game isn't quite up to the standards of today, and it would have been a better idea to use it as Resident Evil VII's multiplayer mode.

    If Chibi-Robot!: Zip Lash were very hyped, the disappointment is even greater. Nintendo has just given us one of the worst titles ever on the 3DS, and one of the worst Nintendo games of 2015.

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is bad. Not bad like Michael Jackson, more bad like a Super Mario Bros. movie, like an Xbox One announcement at E3, like a game made without enough time, money and consideration. A new low.

    We didn't expect much from Beyond Eyes and the short two hours we needed to complete the game proved us right. From an artistic point of view, the game is quite seducing but there are so few things to do there that it quickly becomes boring.

    Zombie Army Trilogy is not a good shooter and is not a good cooperation game either. Gameplay is dull and repetitive, level design is ridiculous and the result is far from being on a par with such a reference as Left 4 Dead.

    Filled with promises, Escape Dead Island was supposed to give an added deeper view of the series's global plot. All it manages to achieve is to bring the player on the verge of a nervous breakdown thanks to its appalling development quality, and the sheer number of bugs and crashes it suffers.

    Most likely developed during Ubisoft Montreal's coffe breaks, Tetris Ultimate is quite a bad game. With 4 pitiful game modes and a limited appeal, the games is a cheap ripoff of Tetris DS that came out in 2006. If you want to buy a Tetris game on a portable Nintendo system go for Tetris DS or Tetris 3DS.

    Akiba's Trip offers a cool concept in which the player has to undress people in the streets of Akihabara in order to unmask vampires. A bit kinky, and a funny beat'em all, but the technical aspect is so badly made that it definitely ruins everything the game could have had in terms of appeal.

    As long as you don't start to play, the game seems to be fun, pretty and you can say to yourself that you're gonna spend some nights on it with your pals. But you will soon change your mind. Amongst the only six sports available, three are just good to go to the garbage because of the inaccuracy of the detection. And the others don't bring enough togetherness to be played for hours. At the end of the day, Kinect is far more enjoyable from your couch.

    Keiji Inafune and his pals got us there: we were expecting something big, and Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z is just another insult to the beat'em all gender. Despite some diversity from one combo to another, the fights quickly become boring because of an out-of-age AI, amongst other faults. Mediocrity in the level design reinforces this very straightforward aspect of Yaiba, which is far from its ancestors from a technical point of view.

    It's a good idea from NIS America to widen access to visual novels out of Japan, as long as they make good decisions. And they don't. The publisher has maybe chosen something too spooky for the Western players. Only translated in English, DanganRonpa : Trigger Happy Havoc definitely forgets some who don't want to play 30 hours like that. The others could be interested in the crazy story but it's far too slow. Players have to read lines and lines of discussion before reaching, at last, a gameplay scene. And don't expect the visuals, in bad taste, to enhanced this not so good assessment.

    Our first contact with Rambo : The Videogame at the gamescom 2012 had already hinted us, but we would have never imagined a catastrophe of this magnitude. Rail shooter on drugs, Reef ENtertainment's title is simply unplayable, due to an aim lacking calibration, incomprehensively lame design choices (a full level with only QTE), shameful graphics worthy of the late 90's era, an extreme difficulty and an OSt that limits to a few looped themes. We are used to playing crappy games, but it's been long since we saw a turd of that caliber. Rambo The Videogame is a school case, a benchmark for what is to be avoided when making videogames, a true message to developers. At least it will have one purpose.

    Time is flying and Dragon Ball videogames are sinking into mediocrity. Battle of Z may be one of the worst episodes of the saga. It's hard to say though if the lack of experience at Artdink studios was the main problem, or if it comes from their will to make something different. Nice try, but the result is awful. You just can't make a Dragon Ball game and forget about the offline multiplayer! And even if you can overcome that, you'll land in an atrocious cocktail of blurry colors and unintelligible action. Your one and only solution : don't buy it.

    LocoCycle is a true turd, one of those games that shouldn't even exists and meanwhile makes the achievement of ripping gamers of 20 euros. Closer to a PS2 game in its graphics, the game is boring, scripted to the max, very short, repetitive and with gameplay that limits itself to spamming three buttons and doing a few QTE when asked. Only a few jokes will make the gamers abused by the ads smile, but the smile will quickly fade away as the scenario unfolds. A new milestone in the hall of shame of videogames has been set on the back of an Xbox One that really did not need that for its launch period.

    If we consider it as a fitness game or as a tech demo, Fighter Within can be interesting, but as a fighting games it's just hopeless. The characters are dull, the AI is horrendous, the solo is just a big tutorial, the Kinect nav in the menus works quite awfully and it's just a bit better in-game. In spite of this, the enjoyment of working you muscles for real is here, and the controller-less gameplay is functional if not very good. Actually as a fitness games, Fighter Within is not so bad.

    Rebellion gives only one thing for your 10 euros : the way to kill zombies. You kill them all the time, while moving, while waiting for a door to open, with some bigger ones from times to times, and do absolutely nothing else. Golden award for the most soporific gameplay ever, Sniper Elite : Nazi Zombie Army is simply boring to play, and should not appeal to any gamer thanks to an almost nonexistent content, ugly graphics and poor gameplay. Definitely a commercial trick as this content should not even be sufficient for a DLC. Anyway, we don't doubt that we'll be able to find that game for a couple of cents during the next Steam Sales if some masochists want to endure this experience.

    WRC 4 looks a lot like those annualised soccer franchises. Very few evolutions, and nothing but new fills this 4th game of the series, which does not improve by aging. We feel that Milestone has given up, and has just done the bare minimum to keep the franchise alive and make payment for the WRC's rights. Made with no passion, this tasteless game will occupy the most dedicated fans for a few short moments before it's forgotten. Very poor gameplay and a lack of finish won't make many people happy about it. Too bad for the rallye game fans who will have to wait quite some time before they can find a worthy game. Until some new publisher get hold of the license?

    As was expected, Star Trek: The Game is a bad attempt to take advantage of J.J. Abrams' movie, which will soon be on your screens. Not really nice to watch, Star Trek isn't really nice to play either. Using terribly old gameplay mechanics never made a good game, and it's not quite an accurate choice to give it some character. Even fans should avoid paying for this.

    There are videogames, great licensed products and then there is The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. Coming out with the end of the third season of the series, Activision's game is just a tasteless merchandising product, quickly developed in an attempt to increase the financial income of the license. Everything is to be thrown away in this pitiful FPS that clearly shows the misunderstanding of the series by the development team. What's left is a very ugly game which is quite appalling for HD consoles nearing the end of their lives. Very repetitive, with no interest whatsoever, the game offers one of the worst AI's in the industry. Needless to say that after Telltales's brilliant games the quality drop is epic, and when a game's quality falls of the table, so does our grade.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 delivers what it promised to do, meaning not much, but that fact alone is worth mentioning. Forget all about the big productions of the market, here we clearly are in another market share: Low Cost gaming. This Dacia of the videogame, once the buyer don't expect the full service, starts scoring points in the spirit of the fanatic of sniper games. If we cant consider recommending this game to the first gamer we meet, a real hardcore gamer fond of Sniper action might well like it. In the mean time, the gamer that does not want to pay the full price (70€) for a game that's so specialized in it's offering, could appreciate this games which is sold at a bargain price.

    Aliens Colonial Marines is old-school, that's for sure. A little bit too much so, unfortunately. With three different developers and a several year delay, it was predictable... Graphs from 2005, AI from 1895 and poor story writing amount to a too-heavy burden. And you can't even compensate for that by being highly loyal to the movies. This game is just a waste - of time for the studios, of money for you.

    Rabbids Land is clearly the title that has been developed too quickly, with not enough resources to do justice to the Wii U.

Players that were looking for some comfort with the multiplayer mode can also forget that option.

    If Chuck Norris can count to infinity twice in less than two months, Ubisoft and Zootfly Studios clearly needed more time to offer a game as good as The Expendables 2 could be on screen.

    Obviously, Sniper Elite V2 keeps trying in the same way as the first episode : seven years later, it shows the same qualities and makes the same mistakes. The shooting system is still very fun, almost addictive, and the fans will be glad to discover the new Kill Cam. But it's not enough to hide poor graphics, lack of a true narrative side and some new features of arguable quality. Its low price could however convince some of you to try the experience.
