I really wanted to like The Galactic Junkers, and I did at times. However, the clunky controls and glitch ridden gameplay will prevent you from becoming totally absorbed in the far out world.

The fundamentals are fine, the little story of Tommy, his girlfriend and football is alright, but there’s just not enough going on here apart from dialogue skimming and minor point and click puzzling.

On one hand, Hexologic is a gentle and calming puzzle game, and is a great way to unwind on an evening. But then on the other, the menu design, layout and general lack of direction are a complete paradox to the game and will cause more frustration than any of the puzzles will.

Hextreme Void comes across as a self-inflicted dare: to make a game with the least amount of player involvement possible. Hextreme Void is the result, and while it manages to complete the dare, we were a bit nonplussed about why it bothered. So, we scooped up our balls and headed off to play BALL x PIT.

Deckline may be a competent take on Durak, but it had potential and squandered it. It’s not a mortal wound for anyone hoping to play Deckline, but it’s quite the flesh wound.

Words of Wisdom uses the word ‘Wisdom’ pretty loosely. It’s a game that feels like it’s been batch-imported into Google Translate, which is a problem when the resulting riddles are key to completing the levels. Words of Wonkiness would have covered it better.

Popotinho’s Adventures is a distinctly average platformer which pulls on a meagre amount of tired and tested ideas from the genre, resulting in a surprisingly lengthy but otherwise disappointing experience.

Decay of Logos on Xbox One has charm and meets all the basic action/adventure RPG criteria, but offers little else. Unfortunately its ambition is let down by an average execution. The Legend of Zelda, this ain’t.

The Fast Journey didn’t feel like a complete game. It felt like a stepping stone for a dev who will probably go onto better things in the future. For now, you can consider this as the barest scrap of a game, and move on (fast).

Sands of Aura feels like a game of unfulfilled potential. Some of the ideas scattered throughout are interesting and travelling across the desert creates eye-catching imagery, but a game's first and most important job is to be fun. In that regard, Sands of Aura is unsuccessful.

Herodes didn’t stick. We felt like we were being regularly flushed out of its system. The difficulty was one thing, but the erratic pacing and identikit enemy waves were too much.

If you are desperate for a reason to bring you and your family back to Fast & Furious Spy Racers Rise of SH1FT3R, then Arctic Challenge might - just - be enough. If you want something new and substantial for your £4.99, you might want to trigger the nitro and drift past.

Drill Deal – Oil Tycoon comes with the tools to make it a success, but it’s plagued by issues and repetition.

Bakery Simulator is the bread bun of the baking world - bland and uninteresting, but some people might still like it. Throw in the horrendous driving section, as well as the bugs, and it’s difficult to look past the negatives.

Flat Kingdom: Paper’s Cut Edition overburdens itself with different mechanics, and the simple, effective platforming ends up being sunk by its ambition.

Wiloo never tries to execute an idea that hasn’t already been done in other games of the genre and, more importantly, it doesn’t try to expand on any of the tropes that it does take. If you mix that with the odd level design, simple enemies and plain aesthetics, all you have by the end is a cheap way to get a 1000 gamerscore.

On one hand, it is an absolute joy to finally have Harvest Moon on the Xbox. But, Harvest Moon: Mad Dash on Xbox One isn’t the version that many fans will have been hoping for. Whilst it isn’t without its charm, it doesn’t represent Harvest Moon in the right way: Mad Dash is designed to be played in short, sharp bursts, whereas the real thing can easily suck days and weeks away.

I couldn’t shake the feeling that if Wizordum halved its runtime, adding interactive environments that complemented the various weapons and spells, there could’ve been something special here. But as it stands Wizordum provides little more than what a 90’s shooter could, thirty odd years ago.

Montezuma's Revenge - The 40th Anniversary Edition is a curious nostalgia trip back in time that will do little other than please those who enjoyed the original. Even then, you should probably “Never go back”.

Sadly and even though the idea presented by Dead Age shows plenty of potential for an exciting gameplay experience, the overall execution leaves a lot to be desired.

The initial premise is inherently intriguing, but the blandness and repetition of the gameplay ensures that it soon becomes an entirely forgettable experience.

The Crown of Wu feels like a game that could have done with a little bit more love, a bit more polishing - only then may it have had enough to overcome any drawbacks. As it is, The Crown of Wu isn’t good enough to hold a candle to either Monkey or that Xbox 360 classic, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.

It’s fun while it lasts, but apart from some interesting achievements to find and unlock, once you’ve done so the urge to play again evaporates like the morning dew in a blast furnace. It’s a fun diversion, but sadly it doesn’t last long enough.

Between the lacklustre story, the frustrating controls and the non-existent character development, Damsel is just not fun to play.

So what do we have with Virtuous Western? Well, it's nothing more than a nice idea, with average execution. It has some brilliant ways of dispatching enemies and solving puzzles, and the easy achievements are a nice addition. But plonking a puzzle game in the Wild West ultimately falls short here, because the game simply lacks any sense of challenge.

Underworld Ascendant on Xbox One could have been a pretty decent game, but everything from the repetitive mission design (go here, fetch/kill that) to the numerous ideas that don’t pan out as they should, sees it sadly fall short of great by quite a margin.

Neon Souls is a run of the mill platformer that fails to stand out from the crowd. Poor controls and unimpressive visuals make it a less appealing option to those after some old school fun.

It is tough to know who to pitch Fluffy Cubed to. Puzzle fanatics and sokoban fans will find this a rather lacklustre attempt, whilst those who prefer a more relaxing gaming experience may be put off by the fact it is a puzzle game. Similarly, feline fans may be taken aback by this cubed moggy.
