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

    With so many memorable 2D fighters released in the early '90s, why anyone would prefer playing Fighter's History is beyond me.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    In a time when dozens of awesome Bomberman games have already been released and the series recently made a comeback, this indie clone simply doesn't offer much substance that you can't already get from Hudson Soft's classic franchise.

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

    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.
    • tbd Metascore

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

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

    If The Otterman Empire had clearer objectives, tighter gameplay, and more player feedback then it would have been a very cool indie.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Taking inspiration from classics like Pac-Man and Bomberman, Go! Birdie doesn't quite live up to an '80s-era level of quality.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The chaotic real-time action of Dungeons & Aliens is fun for a short while but it slowly devolves into a frustrating mess.

    Those looking for a unique skill-testing arcade-style game could have half an hour or so of fun with Neon Caves but that's about it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    After having a few laughs at the utter ridiculousness of it all, it's difficult to thoroughly enjoy the irritating gameplay of Safety First!
    • 64 Metascore

    Playing Elden: Path of the Forgotten is an exercise in patience. If you can tolerate it then perhaps you deserve enlightenment.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Even though it features a few different modes and simple multiplayer gameplay, Pooplers is still worth its weight in poop.
    • 49 Metascore

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

    Observing all the retro references in The VideoKid is only exciting for a few minutes. Once the novelty wears off, you're left with a shallow and repetitive take on a classic arcade game that doesn't hold up well for today's standards.

    If you want to play an inexpensive and brief 2D platformer while having a few laughs then Sigi: A Fart for Melusina is worth a download. However, anyone looking for something even slightly substantial will feel like it's as useless as a fart.

    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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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.
    • 70 Metascore

    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.
    • tbd Metascore

    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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The best part of Stellar Strider is its astronaut-themed achievements because the rest of the game will simply leave you annoyed.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Playing Hellboy Web of Wyrd was exciting at first but it quickly devolves into a repetitious formula that can easily put you to sleep.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    With so many superior retro indies out there, why anyone would bother with Pixel Devil and the Broken Cartridge is beyond me.
    • 61 Metascore

    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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Seeing as it's not as good as classic shooting gallery arcade games, why anyone would bother with Guns'n'Stories is beyond me.
    • 40 Metascore

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