Unscored - Fade to Silence
Apr 30, 2019

If you’re looking for an adventure with a bit of an extra challenge and you don’t mind putting in the work to figure out how to do everything, or perhaps just want a bit of a harsh survival game with a lot of depth and lore, then Fade to Silence will tick a lot of boxes. It comes with a few issues, like being unable to equip a torch for some reason, or story missions forcing you to stay outside when you really need to find shelter from a blizzard, but there’s just something quite playable about this one. Though many might find it a bit too overwhelming. I sure did.

It's a love letter to the driving machines of the racing world, but only time will tell if its multiplayer focus works.

4 / 10.0 - Tiny Racer
Jul 31, 2020

With its bouncy physics and ludicrously aggressive AI, Tiny Racer feels unbalanced at best, completely unfair at worst. This makes for one of the least fun racers around.

4 / 10.0 - Dakar 18
Oct 15, 2018

Although I applaud Bigmoon for trying to bring this niche motorsport into video games properly, the end result is awkward and feels unfinished.

4 / 10.0 - V-Rally 4
Sep 9, 2018

With so many great rally games already available, V-Rally 4's poor handling and inconsistent AI just can't compete with its competition. It should have stayed as a fondly-remembered retro series.

4 / 10.0 - Extinction
Apr 10, 2018

The premise of Extinction is brilliant in theory, but its execution is boring and hindered at all times by a camera that refuses to point where you want it to, and a control system that often doesn't even respond to simple commands.

While TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge accurately captures the sense of speed as you barrel down the country lanes of the iconic circuit, its twitchy handling undoes the experience entirely.

In a game that can be finished in under an hour, Bubsy doesn't so much as strike back, but rather say a few harsh words before getting pummeled into the ground.

With Xbox coming under fire this year for its lack of exclusives, this lazy port of a boring platformer is not going to win anyone over.

4 / 10.0 - Drawn To Death
Apr 12, 2017

With its immature design and humour, Drawn To Death is a game out of time. Its server issues and general instability compound that, distracting from what could have been a fun arena shooter.

With its weird physics issues and inept AI, FlatOut 4 is a frustrating game that simply disappoints on every level.

4 / 10.0 - Mekazoo
Dec 23, 2016

Mekazoo wants desperately to be in the company of Donkey Kong, Mario and Sonic, but can barely rub shoulders with Blinx the Time Sweeper.

4 / 10.0 - Lichtspeer
Oct 3, 2016

Despite some great presentation, Lichtspeer is simply an unfair experience that never feels rewarding or fun.

4 / 10.0 - Moto Racer 4
Nov 8, 2016

Despite a great sense of speed and some classic influences, Moto Racer 4 is riddled with bugs and simply fails to live up to its series’ legacy.

This is the Zodiac Speaking has interesting ideas, but is ultimately a dull slog through a poorly-told story.

There's an intriguing and intelligent story to Those Who Remain, but poor checkpointing and awkward chase scenes often spoil the experience.

5 / 10.0 - Daymare: 1998
Apr 28, 2020

Designed as an homage to 90s horror, Daymare: 1998 tries too hard to mimic its inspiration when it should have focused on being its own game.

5 / 10.0 - Alder’s Blood
Mar 14, 2020

While it does show glimpses of its potential, the mixture of unnecessarily difficult gameplay and overwhelming management systems make Alder's Blood a game solely for masochists.

5 / 10.0 - Overpass
Feb 26, 2020

Overpass is an interesting and unique take on the driving genre, but issues in the most integral areas of the game often make it a chore to play.

Call of Cthulhu on Switch is still a decent game , with plenty of atmosphere and an intriguing story, even if its execution is lacking.
