    Buggy and unresponsive, NBA 2K12 isn't worth the money.

    The full beauty of Spiritfarer with all its management and social adventure fits neatly in your phone, just be prepared to do a lot of running back-and-forth. [Early Access Provisional Score = 90]

    Overall, Sheep Squad isn’t a game for me. It’s possible but those that play a lot of the game Worm might really enjoy it - especially with the adorable range of animals to play with and their cool weapons, however the UI being the way it is makes the game just too challenging and hard to understand for me. Also there are a lot of pop-ups.

    Micetopia plays like a game where the odds are unfairly stacked against you. It doesn't feel like you are a hero who is meant to be saving these villagers or even has a chance to really make it far without spending tons of time grinding and upgrading. Even then, some areas have checkpoints that are too spread out to feel fair.

    Slay the Beat has an interesting concept but doesn't offer enough content to keep you interested beyond a single playthrough. The soundtrack is limited to just a few songs, only a few types of enemies appear over the course of the game, and several recurring bugs make it hard to think of this as anything other than an extended tech demo.

    Despite hauntingly beautiful graphics, the core of Dark Odds leaves much to be desired. It's choices are often shallow and circuitous, and the inability to revisit previous scenes without replaying the entire game makes multiple playthroughs a chore.

    Deadly Premonition 2's is a game built exclusively for fans of the original, and even they will be put off by the endless bugs, horrible performance, and questionable design.

    One Punch Man: Road to Hero 2.0 lacks any kind of imagination or inspiration. This was always meant to be a gacha cash-in featuring OPM characters, and it doesn't even do that well. This game exists to take your money, not entertain you, and you shouldn't even deign to download it.

    Death Come True is a thriller devoid of tension, a comedy lacking in laughs, and a mystery that is unlikely to elicit more than a shrug.

    • 30 Critic Score
    Selma and the Wisp is boring, poorly-designed, and no fun at all to play, but it is at least quite short.

    The Caligula Effect: Overdose has one good idea, and it squanders it with a bunch of other terrible choices.

    • 40 Critic Score
    Crimson Keep's knock-about brand of roguelike ARPG proves fundamentally flawed, with clumsy combat, repetitive levels, and a clunky core menu system.

    Shaq was the player that got me into basketball, Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn might be the title that gets me out of gaming.

    For all its silliness, Soccer Slammers is just too random to be really engaging.

    Brakes are for Losers has some nice ideas, but the package is one that's going to leave you frustrated more often than not.

    It doesn't take a genius to work this one out - The X-Files: Deep State is boring, uninspired, and not worth your time.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The Uncertain gets off to a poor start in its first episode, thanks to poor writing, uninspired puzzles, and a wonky camera.

    Noblemen: 1896 tries its hand at something different, but in the end it's too muddled and clunky to enjoy.

    As unoriginal as its titular villains, March to War takes all the intrigue of The Walking Dead and hides it behind muddy graphics and too many menus.

    About as shameless as it gets, Blitz Brigade: Rival Tactics takes all the ideas of Clash Royale while completely ignoring what made it great.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A hollow experience, layered with dull humour, that you should definitely avoid.

    As boring and laborious as the real thing, Construction Simulator 2 may be accurate in some ways, but it's not worth playing.
    • 17 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    An absolute travesty of an experience that should never have been allowed onto the eShop in the first place.

    • 40 Critic Score
    A throwback of the worst kind. Post Brutal is clunky, stupid, and only fun to laugh at.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A dull, repetitive, and not very clever game of managing and destroying a country.

    A good idea on paper, but simply too complex for mobile.
    • tbd Metascore

    A boring game with little to offer.

    This isn't a game. I don't know what it is, but it's not a game.

    Lacking in flair and substance, Hyper Blaster is a bland arena shooter that does nothing new with the genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A boring endless runner. Its biggest crime is that we've seen it all before.
