3 / 10.0 - Ultra Mission
Sep 25, 2022

Gumbo Machine has had over four decades to make a Berzerk rip-off but apparently chose to spend that time eating crayons instead. This is a buggy mess with no challenge to it.

3 / 10.0 - Bouncy Bob
Jul 13, 2018

I can't think of a single redeeming feature about this game. It's about as entertaining as a night out in Milton Keynes. Poor controls, lazy graphics, very little gameplay and everything is just a long, drawn out frustratio

The Game We All Have To Play? I wish I didn't if I'm honest.

4 / 10.0 - Molten Armor
Mar 11, 2018

Repetitive gameplay, poor graphics and not a lot of fun. Not worth recommending I'm afraid.

Yes, having poo for a weapon is mildly amusing, but when there's not that much substance to the game, the joke wears thin quicker than it ought to. It'll be fun at a party after a few beers for an hour or two, but this isn't a contender for the next big esport.

4 / 10.0 - 100ft Robot Golf
Nov 29, 2016

A great concept that has been executed dreadfully. Not funny enough to be a good parody, not detailed enough for a good simulation. It’s neither funny enough to be amusing or serious enough to be engaging and ultimately never rises above mediocrity.

5 / 10.0 - Dynacat
Mar 17, 2024

Dynacat would be much more enjoyable if the mechanics and controls were less fumbled. It's a charming platformer, but it's too awkward to be as much fun as it ought to be.

I found this to be too slow for my liking, but if you want a slow-paced game with lots of idle chit-chat and an occasional battle, then this might be right up your street. The sedate pace and minimalist mechanics will probably divide critics, but this one found it dull and unengaging.

5 / 10.0 - Starport Delta
May 21, 2020

A space station builder with very little to build. It's a great concept but it's just not well executed enough and it's too shallow to be the game it deserves to be.

5 / 10.0 - The Room
Jan 1, 2019

A great game, but with no value added it isn't worth buying over the mobile version. Too expensive for a game that's best played on a mobile screen anyway.

5 / 10.0 - The Bunker
Nov 4, 2016

The Bunker is a well written short film with some good acting. It’s not really a game though, so it ultimately fails to live up to expectations.

5 / 10.0 - Syberia 3
Jun 16, 2017

A below-par return for the series. The awkward controls and slow pace detract from what is actually quite a charming little tale about the human condition. Without more to grab the attention though, it just feels like the game never gets out of first gear

5 / 10.0 - Coast Guard
Jan 21, 2016

Not detailed enough for a simulator and not fast paced enough for an action adventure. Coast Guard is a game that needs to decide what it wants to be.

Cook, Serve, Delicious 2!! feels like a step backwards when compared to the first game. A lot of features are missing and those that have been added aren't enough to make up for them. Save your money and buy Cook, Serve, Delicious!

A decent game that doesn't seem like it was completely finished before being released. It's not a bad game, but neither is it a great game. One for hardcore Visual Novel fans only I'm afraid.

6 / 10.0 - Curved Space
Sep 29, 2021

A fantastic looking game with a banging soundtrack, but not one that will keep you occupied for too long. Gameplay is far from bad, but it's not up to the same standard as the graphics and audio sadly. Curved Space is a slickly presented but sadly average title.

6 / 10.0 - Monochrome World
Jul 18, 2020

It's not the best puzzle title on the Switch and it has some flaws, but Monochrome World is a solid puzzler that's enjoyable in short bursts. Don't expect too much of it and you might have a bit of fun, but probably best to wait for a sale before purchasing.

6 / 10.0 - Not Tonight
Sep 11, 2018

Papers, Please in Brexit Britain, but at a higher price and not as fun. Feels like an opportunity wasted

Playing this game is like playing four different games of varying quality. If they'd just stuck to one idea and executed it well, this could have been a winner. As it is, sadly this is a game which is a jack of all trades but master of none.

With an awkward difficulty curve and some questionable sonic choices, this isn't a purrfect platformer, but it's certainly good enough for meow. I'm not kitten around when I say this is a competent platformer that deserves a look in if you can get it fur a decent price.
