Even hardcore tennis fans will most likely find themselves with nothing exciting to experience after having the game for a week. [Issue #19 – January/February 2016, p.76]

I prefer the Dr. Marios that I can pay for just one time, then play as much as I want for a few decades thereafter. [Issue #41 – September 2019, p. 20]

A great example of "Free-to-Start" done right. [Issue #15; May/June 2015, p.28]

Let's chalk this one up to a fairly young development team biting off a bit more than they can chew and hope that their next effort is a little less ambitious and a lot more polished. [Issue #49 – November/December 2020, p. 73]

As a brawler, Senran Kagura 2 isn't half bad. [Issue #17 – September/October 2015, p.73]

This is one party game that, like balloons and other party favors, will only be dusted off for gatherings and then quickly put back into storage. [Issue #27 – May/June 2017, p. 66]

Regardless of what you think of Kirby, he deserves better for his 25th birthday. [Issue #31 – January/February 2018, p. 23E]

Typoman has a great creative concept that falls short in length and execution. [Issue #19 – January/February 2016, p.24]

It's not a bad game, but after four or so years, it just feels like it ought to be better. [Issue #31 – January/February 2018, p. 35E]

Fossil Fighters: Frontier is simply a good introductory RPG packed to the brim with dinosaurs – and that may be just what the young gamer in your life will want soon, when the dino-craze takes over once more. [Issue #15; May/June 2015, p.76]

Anyone born later than the '80s probably won't be able to get too invested in this one. [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 72]

Dementium was a revelation on DS in 2007, but it just hasn't aged as well as we might have hoped. [Issue #19 – January/February 2016, p.25]

As a short film, Armikrog would have been truly amazing. As a game, it stumbles. [Issue #24 – November/December 2016, p.19S]

If you have the patience of a saint and like the pick-up-and-play experience, Pokémon Shuffle might be perfect for you. If you don't like the idea of being nickel-and-dimed to experience puzzling at a normal pace, this game's sure to get your blood boiling. [Issue #14: Old vs. New – March/April 2015, p.24]

The scattered blessings of Deadly Premonition 2 are often disguised by the game's many blemishes, but I'm still more than happy that I got to drink in another adventure with York and company. [Issue #49 – November/December 2020, p. 67]

The problem with Wave Break being such a straight-up clone at its core is that it has a major barrier to entry. I was able to leap in well enough thanks to my own history playing Tony Hawk titles, but I could not recommend this game to anyone who doesn't also have experience with that series. The tutorial here is thin, and the gameplay will be nearly inscrutable to total newcomers. [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 24]

If you think that Super Smash Bros. Brawl's "1/100 chance of tripping" mechanic ruined the game, then SkateBIRD definitely isn't for you.

[Issue #56 – November/December 2021, p. 20]

If you've got a young gamer in your life, show them the Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia trailer video, then sit back and watch their reaction. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 72]

It feels a lot like they took one game out of Mario Party and attempted to make it a full eShop title. [Issue #30 – November/December 2017, p. 20]

I wish BonusXP had the chance to utilize their talents with a different IP, because the whole approach here is flawed. [Issue #42 – October 2019, p. 19]

Playing Loop8 left me feeling like everything I'd done meant nothing, and wishing that, like Nini, I could go back in time and play something else. [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 72]

Nobody likes seeing a great concept fail to live up to its potential, and SuperMash is a perfect example of that. [Issue #49 – November/December 2020, p. 19]

Developer Just Add Water was onto something here, piping in some great concepts from past 3D platformers, but the follow-through is a swing and a miss! [Issue #45 – March/April 2020, p. 70]

My fingers are crossed that Comcept gets their act together and can create a sequel that is the Mega Man 2 to this underwhelming original. [Issue #23 – September/October 2016, p.68]

A broken game that really isn't worth your time, especially when Splatoon already does all of this extraordinarily better. [Issue #36 – November/December 2018, p. 19]
