    Yes, NeoSprint has dated gameplay but once it starts to click, you'll find yourself hooked as you skillfully win race after race.

    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.

    With some fine-tuning, Pilot Sports could be an easily recommendable challenge-based flight game. As it is, it ends up feeling a little rough around the edges but there's still some fun to be had, especially within the multiplayer mode.

    You certainly won't play Throw Anything for hours yet there's something special about its quirky premise and wacky world.

    Doctor Who: The Edge of Time offers a gripping atmosphere and a great performance from Jodie Whittaker but besides that, it falls flat.

    If you enjoyed previous Doodle God games then you're sure to have a good time with Crime City. With that said, most gamers probably won't find much to like about randomly combining things to make other things.

    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.

    Overall, Fimbul is a mess. I wanted to like it due to its use of Norse mythology as it truly felt like a journey to Jotunheim, not just an action game with some Norse stuff thrown in but with combat that never felt satisfying, an annoying uncontrollable camera, a handful of glitches, and gameplay that I definitely don't want to dive back into, it's a hard game to recommend to anyone.

    Even though I enjoyed my time with Everreach: Project Eden for the most part, there's no denying just how half-baked it is. If it released for the original Xbox, it would probably be a cult hit but in 2019, it simply feels dated.

    With so many roguelike twin-stick shooters out there, Last Encounter remains an overall enjoyable yet middling experience.

    Of course, not everyone will enjoy Contra: Rogue Corps but I certainly did. Between its crazy presentation and challenging gameplay, it's definitely a tough game to put down. If you're looking for a more classic Contra formula then play Blazing Chrome instead.

    Caveman Warriors looks like a standard Flash game and plays like a subpar SNES game. That being said, there's a certain charm to the clunky and frustrating 2D action that makes playing with friends somewhat enjoyable.

    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.

    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.

    Star Horizon is a basic rail shooter that looks fantastic for a Switch indie so it's sure to provide some entertainment for genre fans.

    Never Breakup may not be in the top echelon of co-op games but it's certainly a fun indie that'll make you and a pal laugh.

    If you have a soft spot for classic 3D platformers and imaginative game worlds, you'll have a lovely time with Balan Wonderworld. With a heartfelt story, plenty of cuteness, a clever costume system, and oodles of stages to master; it's one incredible adventure.

    Working through Costume Kingdom's Halloween world can be rewarding as long as you don't let its less desirable aspects get you down.

    We need more silly games and Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos: Magazine Edition really scratched an itch with its entertaining gameplay and bubbly characterful presentation. Plus, the physical extras are brilliantly put together to make for one fan-friendly package.

    If you can look past the aesthetics of Disaster Report 4, there's a bunch of fun to be had escaping the broken city and helping out the residents as you struggle to survive and hopefully make your way home.

    Baldo The guardian owls is the sort of game that you'd dig out of a bargain bin but that's not necessarily a bad thing because some of my fondest gaming memories came from such bins. In other words, it may be clunky but you'll still appreciate what it has to offer.

    It may offer solid space combat but Redout: Space Assault's lack of ambition to try anything new holds it back from being special.

    Although it's a huge letdown when compared to the timeless original, Devil May Cry 2 is still a solid and enjoyable 3D action game.

    Although it's short and lacks replay value, Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot is such an immersive and enjoyable experience that it's worth purchasing simply to pilot its 3 unique and powerful robots. Let's just hope Bethesda expands this gem into something more worthwhile.

    Subaeria's premise is brilliant and has loads of potential but its poorly executed roguelike structure, lack of tutorial, and severe glitches make it a tough game to recommend in its current state. Hopefully, we'll see a more fully realised version down the road.

    When it comes to beat 'em ups, few games are as simple as Squareboy vs. Bullies: Arena Edition. The easily exploitable and basic gameplay combines with the overall lack of variety in a way that'll make you wish that the bullies win.

    Lock's Quest is definitely a game worthy of bringing back from obscurity but this version contains performance issues that frequently make it tough to enjoy. However, if you overlook these parts then it can be one fulfilling blend of gameplay elements.

    If Milanoir were a Tarantino film, it would be Death Proof; a self-indulgent exercise in tedium that would make most people who experience it want their money back.

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