Winter Burrow gives players with a beautiful world to explore, but doesn't do enough with it to keep players coming back.

Not only is it full of bugs, glitches and physics problems, it treats the sport it is trying to emulate with utter disdain and contempt. Rugby League 26 is more than a bad video game, it approaches its target audience with disrespect.

A beautiful attempt to incorporate South American culture into a familiar genre, but hindered by game-breaking bugs and issues that make it difficult to find your flow.

This is not so much an experience as Wonka, but a Wonka Experience. No unknowns are waiting around the corner, but mathematics, chemistry, and disappointment.

In the end, Dragon Takers is fine. I didn’t hate it, but it also didn’t excite me. There are worse ways to spend your time, but there are also a lot better ways too. Welcome to the death zone. It’s ok here.

Despite inhabiting a rich and detailed world, the journey of Captain James Flint is buried beneath complex systems and design issues that can seriously hamper a player's enjoyment.

Look, the sports themselves work, but there’s not much fun to be found despite the loveable cast of characters that are present.

A game that is both the prime example of a poor PC port and wasted potential, Monster Jam Showdown is just too broken at this point in time to even contemplate despite the underlying gameplay being quite a bit of fun.

I’m not one to come out and say the developers are lazy or anything naïve as that, but it definitely reeks of a decision from high management to push out a pre-loved game from yesteryear with as little effort as possible. And to be brutally honest, that sucks. Battlefront 1 and 2 deserved a lot more than this.

The very few redeeming values present in Lord Of The Rings: Gollum buckle under the enormous weight of mediocrity that it carries. It tries, but the game is about as forgettable as one of the thousands of orcs slaughtered in the films.

Curse Of The Sea Rats earnestly tries to build upon the core ideas of a Metroidvania, and though it offers a lot for the player, it’s missing that final round of tuning and polish which would have let it shine amongst a crowded field.

I don’t think this game is art, and I don’t think it’s revolutionary, I think it’s a huge cultural step backwards – no matter how pretty it may look – that is based on mediocre gameplay mechanics.

The whole experience is outdated and poorly designed which leads to nothing but frustration and regret. To add icing to the terrible cake, the game lacks any sort of coherent story or even likeable characters to help get players through the rest of the problems. When the only nice thing you can say about a game is that it works, well things are rather bleak I am afraid. Gungrave G.O.R.E is, simply a bad experience and one I can’t recommend for anyone, even those with a deep love for the IP it is based upon.

I really wanted to like Lego Brawls, it is such a cool idea. Sadly the fact is, it is just a bad game. Not bad in an overly broken or offensive way. Bad because it seems to delight in mediocrity. Everything feels half-baked and half-realised, kind of like my 16-year-old’s homework, and it means it quickly squandered any potential in the idea of a Lego Smash Bros.

A broken experience, that despite some promise, fails to entertain as either an arcade racing title or a serious simulation of off-road motorsport.

An interesting premise and solid execution are let down by a narrative that treads a predictable path, reaching for a poignant epiphany it isn’t able to realise.

Diehard Whovians will enjoy the story and the chance to see David Tennant back in action but to the rest of the world there is little appeal.

While not a game to strictly advise against, Asha in Monster World has plentiful irks and, as easily the weakest of the recent Wonderboy releases, is difficult to recommend.

A pretty world is a great draw – but when the substance comes up lacking, beauty will only ever be skin deep.

While making the giant robots the focus of the sequel is a good start, it doesn’t make up for the shortfalls in the gameplay loop and certain design choices carried over from the first game.

You can easily imagine a world where the XIII remake is a success, but sadly this isn’t that world. Broken is about the nicest thing that can be said about this remaster that is somehow worse than the original.

Filled with game-breaking bugs and clunky mechanics, Remothered: Broken Porcelain will give you more than a fair share of horrible, awful memories, but not in the way that was intended.

This game is a hot mess of cheap and nasty gameplay that never pays off or shows any resemblance to something fun. If the year 2020 was a fighting game, it would be called Bounty Battle.

While the street football scene provides an interesting background, the flaws in the implementation of the game modes means that only the diehard fans will enjoy and master the game.

Overall while enjoyment can be found in Spuds Unearthed, it is a game that is very much better in small doses than extended playthroughs. While there are limited environments the ones present are colourful and look cool in VR. It is just a shame that the lack of information and the lack of evolution to the battles as you progress holds the game back from being truly fun.
