    Mixing genres usually results in interesting gaming experiences yet Vroom Kaboom is a bit too mixed up to be enjoyable.

    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.

    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.

    Gamers who enjoy finally beating levels after countless attempts will like Kid Tripp but everyone else should avoid this frustrating runner.

    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.

    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.

    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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

    With so many better tennis and indie sports games on the market, it's hard to recommend Timber Tennis: Versus. The flat and overly simplistic gameplay just doesn't slice it. Tennis puns; gotta love 'em...

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

    The premise of a beat 'em up with ninja cats is solid but Claws of Furry's messy gameplay simply doesn't allow its concept to shine.

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

    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.

    Tied Together is enjoyable at first but as soon as the novelty wears off (which doesn't take long at all), you're left with an irritating mess that's difficult to enjoy. If you own a PS4 or Xbox One then play Unravel Two instead.

    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.

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

    Gungrave VR will make you feel cool as you shoot your foes while dodging and occasionally reflecting their projectiles but it's so sloppily put together that it's hard to enjoy the action for longer than a few minutes at a time.

    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.

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

    Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy was a somewhat enjoyable adventure when it released for consoles back in 2003 but it's definitely a frustrating experience and modern gamers will likely get fed up with its tedious puzzles well before reaching its conclusion.

    If Medusa and Her Lover had more engaging gameplay and featured a much longer campaign, it would be a worthwhile VR experience.

    SubaraCity is a simple game that you can easily master after you learn the little bit of strategy that's required. After that, you'll likely never play it again. The fact that there are no additional modes is puzzling indeed.

    Some gamers may appreciate Graveyard Keeper's grindfest of a campaign but those who are looking for something more immediately gratifying will likely become frustrated beyond repair with its convoluted systems and tedious tasks.

    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.

    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.
