With a campaign that gets boring fast and gameplay that manages to be as tedious as it is frantic, it's hard to recommend this Cook Off.

It might be weird to say but Mineral reminded me of Death Stranding because it manages to be both boring and irritating at the same time.

There are so many awesome twin-stick shooters out there that playing The Legend of Cyber Cowboy frankly feels insulting.

Popotinho's Adventures isn't the worst platformer I've ever played but it's certainly far below the level of quality that one would expect.

The best part of Stellar Strider is its astronaut-themed achievements because the rest of the game will simply leave you annoyed.

Arsene Lupin: Once A Thief lets you play as both the thief and the detective while trying to thwart their crimes which is an interesting premise. However, the execution is lacking and it presents too many frustrating moments for me to recommend it.

Between Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports and Space Jam: A New Legacy - The Game, Bugs Bunny and friends sure haven't been treated well in recent years when it comes to video games. Here's hoping we get a remake of Time Busters; that was a fun game.

With a ton of superior Soulslikes out there, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn simply feels unnecessary. It's the sort of game that seems like it was made to be Game Pass filler but even then, there are dozens upon dozens of better games available for the service.

What happens when you slap a bunch of iconic sprites on a boring and tedious mobile game? You get METAL SLUG ATTACK RELOADED.

I had a few laughs with HappyFunland but as a game, it's not fun at all and its irritating control issues really make it a challenge.

Completing an entire game in one brief session feels odd yet Final Frog remains a playable little platformer that you might enjoy.

I'm kind of happy that a game named Dungholes is as bad as its title would make you think it is. I recommend avoiding it for sure.

It's hard to enjoy a game as rough around the edges as Purple Explorer is, especially with so many excellent 3D platformers out there.

One Last Breath's presentation is terrific but everything else about it is mediocre at best so unless you don't mind dealing with subpar puzzles and are a big fan of immersing yourself in a ruined world taken back by nature, I wouldn't bother with it.

I figured Shooting Blocks would be kind of fun but instead, it feels like the pre-alpha of a game that wouldn't have been good anyway.

Playing Hellboy Web of Wyrd was exciting at first but it quickly devolves into a repetitious formula that can easily put you to sleep.

Enchanted Portals looks great within its charming old-school cartoon world but it mostly plays like a bargain bin Super NES game.

C-SMASH VRS is a simple tennis-like game that would be way better if there was no lag and single player content with AI opponents.

I didn't expect much from Sugar Tanks but its slow albeit intuitive gameplay still managed to disappoint; it's not that sweet after all.

I wanted to enjoy ALTAIR BREAKER, especially after its promising tutorial but after diving into the meat of its gameplay, things start to fall apart fast. With that being said, I know that the developers can make a much better game so let's hope that they do in the future.

Playing The Callisto Protocol made me feel like I'm wasting my time and I rarely feel that way when I play video games. With simple and repetitive combat and a world that's completely void of tension yet still filled with absurd amounts of violence, it can go suck an egg.

As a fan of the original Joe and Mac, I must say that NEW Joe & Mac - Caveman Ninja is a huge disappointment as it features frustrating difficulty, floaty gameplay, and it's even missing some core elements that made the classic arcade game stand out as special.

It's tough to recommend Splatter - Zombiecalypse Now, especially seeing as there are dozens of much better twin-stick zombie shooters.

Even though I wanted to enjoy Lumberhill, it definitely has a very long way to go to match the quality of its co-op contemporaries.

Dungeon Munchies is a clunky and repetitive game that will oddly get its hooks in you once you begin to understand its unconventional gameplay. It's still an irritating experience, though, but one that is somewhat endearing with its off-the-wall humour.

If you don't mind reloading over and over again whenever you're trying to outrun a spirit, Shadow Corridor can be a viable horror game.

Next time people tell me that I have to play a certain game; I'll ignore them because this new flight simulator is a steaming pile of crap.

If Space Jam: A New Legacy - The Game was given a lot more time in the oven, it could have been a pretty good beat 'em up. As it is, it feels like an alpha demo that still has a long way to go before it's ready for the general gaming public.

It may seem like a relaxing little puzzle game but Eat your letters ends up being a frustrating mess that you'll regret playing.

It's perplexing who Skyland Rush - Air Raid Attack was made for but I can definitely say that it doesn't cater to shoot 'em up fans.

Taking inspiration from classics like Pac-Man and Bomberman, Go! Birdie doesn't quite live up to an '80s-era level of quality.

The Game is ON may do an excellent job at pointing out the absurdity of English idioms but its puzzles will likely make you frustrated.

If someone never heard of Crazy Taxi, played Taxi Chaos, and then tried Crazy Taxi; they would think that Taxi Chaos was some sort of rudimentary precursor to the series. It's not a terrible game but it's certainly not nearly as enjoyable as its 22 year old counterpart.

If you enjoy arcade shooters then Zotrix Starglider will make you want to play some classics from the '80s so you can have a better time.

Burst Shooter seems more like a game made for a school project than something that should be commercially available to the public.

It may be inspired by a top-notch niche PS1 puzzler but Cube Raiders doesn't quite hit the mark with its awkward controls and rules.

Halloween Candy Break is nothing short of a shoddy seasonal cash grab so don't be dumb like me; avoid playing it at all costs.

Although Tears of Avia features lovely art, serviceable gameplay, and fun skills, it's such a mess of a game that it's difficult to thoroughly enjoy, especially when you reach its insane difficulty spikes.

Just like its country bumpkin counterpart, Caveman Tales is a bare-bones simulation game that can be good to wind down with.

Tamarin may be an adorable game but it's also one that'll make you wonder if it's sponsored by the NRA with its odd use of guns.

Bounty Battle's character roster is the only thing it has going for it as everything else comes across like a school project gone wrong.

Although Johnny Rocket looks like an entertaining indie, its gameplay is plagued with frustration that will turn your smile upside-down.

It's puzzling why the puzzler Puzzled was ported to modern consoles considering it's such an irritating and hollow experience.

Its premise is incredibly promising yet Kandagawa Jet Girls does nothing but disappoint with its monotonously slow racing that feels like it's aimed towards small children but should kids really play a game with excessive thong shots and bouncing boobs? Probably not.

I didn't enjoy the intentionally clumsy gameplay of Brunch Club and neither did my gaming chums yet it surely has a promising premise.

Its dated and clunky visuals and simplistic gameplay make Country Tales a relaxing albeit hard to thoroughly enjoy experience.

I'm sure it has its niche but if you're simply an RPG fan looking for a new game to sink some time into, you can do a lot better than Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris. Its lack of respect for the player's time and unforgivable performance issues are downright ridiculous.

After a handful of rounds, I can easily say that Bullet Beat is a barebones and tedious shooter that genre fans will likely regret playing.

Playing Elden: Path of the Forgotten is an exercise in patience. If you can tolerate it then perhaps you deserve enlightenment.

If The Otterman Empire had clearer objectives, tighter gameplay, and more player feedback then it would have been a very cool indie.

I don't understand the appeal of cleaning and renovating in a video game, especially when it's as boring as it is in House Flipper.

Playing F-117A Stealth Fighter is like eating a bag of rock salt. Although they make ice cream with it, it's hard to stomach on its own.

Although it has a clever premise and features nifty abstract scenarios, Those Who Remain is little more than an annoying adventure.

Playing Robot Squad Simulator X is a lot like watching a robot fail video although it manages to be far less entertaining.

EMMA: Lost in Memories may just be the most frustrating game that I played so far this year. With its clumsy controls and overly unforgiving stages that require many attempts to merely complete, I can't recommend this to anyone but masochists.

Spirit of the North may have been a noteworthy game if it released a decade prior but it's far too uninspired in today's gaming market.

Golf With Your Friends presents promising mini-golf fun with its variety of courses and modes but unfortunately, the fun to be had is hampered by overly simplistic core gameplay and some head-scratching glitches.

With so many memorable 2D fighters released in the early '90s, why anyone would prefer playing Fighter's History is beyond me.

Break Thru's frustrating gameplay and awkward jumping mechanic make for one irritating retro formula that simply isn't all that fun.

As a novelty, Bad Dudes is sure to scratch some sort of nostalgic itch but it wasn't a good game back in '88 and it sure isn't now.

An awesome game premise will only get you so far and unfortunately, SuperMash doesn't really live up to its clever foundation.

It may offer a variety of crazy situations but the core gameplay of Doug Hates His Job is nothing short of sloppy and irritating.

Simply put, Battle Rockets is a basic multiplayer shmup battle game that lacks some necessary interesting gameplay wrinkles.

With so many superior games inspired by XCOM out there, Element Space's buggy and tedious battles simply don't measure up.

Its gameplay may be functional but Brotherhood United is so trite and stereotypical that it's difficult to recommend to anyone.

Even though it features a few different modes and simple multiplayer gameplay, Pooplers is still worth its weight in poop.

It's difficult to recommend a game as bland as One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows to anyone; even hardcore fans of the manga. It definitely has its charms but underneath the surface, an incredibly hollow experience resides.

In the end, Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate is a mediocre Musou title. The action of wiping out giant hordes of enemies is exhilarating at first and the gameplay is rather polished but unfortunately, that's all there is to it and there's no feeling of escalation.

Tower Inferno is a nifty home adaptation of the arcade game Crazy Tower but with faulty calibration, it's simply not that fun.

It may have been a cool game if it released in the early-'10s but Selma and the Wisp just feels dated and tiresome nowadays.

Trying to have fun playing Help Me Doctor is like faking laughter when your boss tells an awful joke. It just doesn't feel right.

I was debating whether to give Super Tennis 0 or 1 stars and I decided on the latter because at least it's functional and looks decent.

It may be a fun game on PC but playing Demolish & Build 2018 on Switch simply doesn't deliver the radiators to the container.

Playing Roll'd is a lot like trying to balance a ball on the back of your hand. Even though it's challenging, it's simply not that much fun.

With so many superior retro indies out there, why anyone would bother with Pixel Devil and the Broken Cartridge is beyond me.

Down to Hell isn't a terrible game yet it simply doesn't offer anything that hasn't been done better countless times before.

If Alaskans actually drove like you do in this game, the whole state would be completely covered in abandoned overturned vehicles.

Simply put, AeternoBlade II feels like one of those PS2 games that your weird friend loves but you can't help but wonder why.

Seeing as there are much better combat-focused PSVR games out there, playing Reborn: A Samurai Awakens simply feels like a chore.

I can't think of a reason why anyone would want to play Blindy. From its irritating concept to its annoying gameplay, it's one bad game.

In the end, Harvest Moon: Mad Dash disappoints as a Harvest Moon game and as a puzzler. It definitely has some redeeming qualities but they're so minor when compared to the super-easy and humdrum gameplay that I simply can't recommend playing this silly spin-off.

With countless superior zombie twin-stick shooters out there, Zombieland: Double Tap - Road Trip feels like a cheap movie tie-in.

In the end, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint is just a mess. Between its technical issues, repetitive gameplay, subpar gear system, and sinister microtransactions; this is probably the worst open-world live service game so far. Hopefully, its technical issues will be patched soon but the base game will still remain one of the most soulless experiences that I've played this console generation.

The developers of The Bradwell Conspiracy may be onto something with their immersive world, mysterious story, and top-notch voice acting but the game that surrounds all of that is nothing short of irritating.

ESport Manager has a solid premise and some cool simulation elements but the actual matches are way too easy to exploit.

If the developers tightened up Fin and the Ancient Mystery's gameplay, it could be a rather enjoyable 2D action RPG.

It may have a promising premise but Post War Dreams executes its vision poorly and it's definitely not optimized for consoles.

Hopefully, Supermassive Games can learn from what went wrong here and apply it to their next projects. For now, Man of Medan is simply not worth playing and I recommend skipping it entirely.

With so many must-play retro shoot 'em ups available on modern consoles, Ghost Pilots ends up being one disappointing game.

Although its sense of uneasiness is well done, everything else about Shadows 2: Perfidia is far too basic to be thoroughly enjoyable.

Although The Forbidden Arts has a lot of potential, its gameplay is so loose and unsatisfying that it's hard not to be disappointed.

I'm fairly certain that Epic Clicker Journey is the best game where you just tap on a screen but that's not really saying much is it?

If you're looking for a must-have local multiplayer game then Tetsumo Party isn't that but it is fun for the few minutes that it lasts.

If Let's Go Nuts had tighter and more challenging gameplay with cleverer stage designs then it would be a much better platformer.

Bitlogic's gameplay is simply clunky and it regularly relies on guesswork and tedious retreading so it's a tough game to enjoy.

If Bus Fix 2019 is some kind of joke then it's done a great job of punking me with its downright unplayable gameplay and lame premise.

If the fact that it's titled Redneck Skeet Shooting isn't enough of a red flag, allow me to say that this is one terrible game.

In the end, no goofy-looking googly-eyed cactus can save this irritating game from being yet another silly indie experiment.
