2 / 5.0 - The Quiet Man
Nov 3, 2018

A unique experience, something we don't usually expect from risk averse major publishers, but its strangeness is let down by poor execution and repetition.

2 / 5 - 1-2-Switch
Mar 14, 2017

The number and variety of the games offered ensures at least a couple of hours of gameplay. This is a game that you'll use to show off the Switch to your friends, but the simplicity and general inaccuracy of the games and its lack of character limit its appeal and longevity.

An interesting game due to its subject matter, and as a farming game it's pretty comprehensive, thus appealing to a niche audience, but in the end it doesn't do much as a game to draw in player the way something like Stardew Valley does. Its approach is to be commended, and to a large degree it succeeds, but for the majority of gamers it won't seem like an entertaining experience.

A game the can be unbalanced in terms of gameplay and not so well done terms of performance and controls, but it's fast pace and craziness and some of it's new ideas makes it worth the shot. especially for those who are a fan of the series and want to play an online game based on the places from the series, and is able to accept the major flaws, but there are better options if you want to play an online game that has nothing to do with the series.

A disappointment, and the worst game from a developer known for its quality output. It might not be the a total loss if you want a co-op TMNT game, but it's a terrible waste given the developer's reputation and the license involved.

2.5 / 5.0 - Metal Gear Survive
Feb 28, 2018

As a different direction for the series this isn't a bad choice and does have some interesting ideas and mechanics and the story does have its zany MGS moments, but an overall weak story and cast of characters and simplistic missions and the harsh survival elements sucks a lot of the fun of the experience.

2.5 / 5.0 - Devil's Third
Dec 10, 2015

The game clearly suffers from all the delays and change of engine, making it a technical mess. Still, if one can ignore those, this is a fun and challenging action game with a colorful cast of characters as long as one doesn't take them seriously.

A very polarizing game, that doesn't want you to love it despite your efforts. A lighthearted romp through some beautiful scenery coupled with some novel ideas, bogged down by a plethora of nuisances and annoyances.

3 / 5.0 - Blood & Truth
May 28, 2019

This is an expanded, though not evolved, London Heist. A full game with gunplay that can be fun, if not exactly innovative. Unfortunately almost everything else surrounding the gunplay is either tedious or poorly implemented or both.

3 / 5.0 - Déraciné
Nov 13, 2018

A quaint and slow paced game that sometimes veers on boredom but nevertheless has its share of moments. Treat it more like an experiment, albeit one with a high entry fee, through its VR and move requirements.

This first DLC does not bring with it anything new, and is aimed at those who are looking for an excuse to return to the game in the form of an interesting story, but for those looking for something substantial this isn't it.

A fast and enjoyable game that focuses on high speed jumps and stunts with a decent amount of content, but for newcomers choosing Trackmania Turbo might be a better decision.

A classic that is still enjoyable today, with optional enhanced visuals, and additional features, not all of which are successful. Some fun can be had with it, but at its current price it's hard to recommend.

A somewhat enjoyable addition, but one that is neither essential nor adds much to the game. Recommended only for those that have finished the game and are still hungry for more.

An enjoyable game both cooperatively and competitively, with a cheerful 90's style look and feel and a decent enough amount of content. The simplicity and slight repetitiveness of the campaign, and the competitive mode not shaking up the formula makes it a game aimed more at series veterans than newcomers.

A beautiful game that succeeds in presenting a virtual world that you’ll want to visit and explore. As a full priced game it's lacking in length, complexity and polish, but as a tour of a virtual world it's entertaining.

Birth by Sleep 0.2 is the the best part of this package, with great visuals, music and combat system, and as a teaser for the third part it largely succeeds despite its length, and is an overall great bite-sized entry, while Dream Drop Distance HD is an entertaining albeit flawed entry. This package is aimed more at series veterans than newcomers, and is better experienced after the upcoming 1.5+2.5 bundle in March.

As a VR experience it's an entertaining one that benefits from being in VR, but it's neither one you want to experience more than once nor one you'll remember for long.

A charming game with a simple story. It starts slowly and is never challenging, and you'll spend more time backtracking than solving its puzzles. A good choice for those looking to relax with an artistic game.

3 / 5 - Grow Up!
Aug 17, 2016

As a platforming and climbing game this is an entertaining one, just like its predecessor, but overly sensitive controls and an uncooperative camera mar the experience somewhat.
