6.2 / 10.0 - Battletoads
Aug 20, 2020

Battletoads never shrugs off its 90s roots and refuses to grow up and act like an adult.

Whilst being a good light puzzle game, It offers very little to pay for a free mobile game.

Bubble Bobble 3D Vacation Odyssey is just a game with a cool mechanic, a strong history of quality, and little else, if it didn’t have the Bubble Bobble name attached it would be just an OK puzzle game with issues

6.8 / 10.0 - Windbound
Aug 28, 2020

Windbound is a game trying to do something but never nails the formula and instead comes off as an almost incomplete experience.

The game does a really good job of conveying the gameplay and appearance of the original Resident Evil games, but the problem is, the world has moved on, and when the camera angles are so acute and obscured it makes what should be a nostalgic trip, very frustrating. The gunplay is overly sensitive and inconsistent as you never really know where you are shooting or you cannot judge distance and angles very well.

Aug 28, 2017

Whilst it has some strong gameplay here, The fiddly mechanics and hit and miss style of performing tricks really lets it down.

I’m not saying it’s a bad game but I’m also not saying it’s a good game, it’s just a good idea that never fully followed through.

fun can be had but so can a lot of swearing. A good fit for Souls fans looking for a different challenge.

Kandagawa Jet Girls is a standard racing game with mega chesticle ladies all over it, the story is forgettable, the tracks are pretty plain but the characters are a colorful bunch!

I found this to be the perfect wind-down game and gives you a good mental workout.

I see what they are going for here and I appreciate it a lot but it’s the actual gameplay of the games that let it all down.

Regardless of your stance on the subject, Ben 10 Power Trip is a mediocre game that entertains but never steps outside the realm of casual.

7.2 / 10.0 - Boomerang Fu
Aug 27, 2020

You may not be playing this hardcore in solo or even with friends but it is a game that should be in your multiplayer bundle and is a ton of fun with friends even if the actual game part is somewhat lacking.

The mechanics are solid and it is fun to play but its all set in a cold empty space with many a loading screen.
