Casey Scheld's Reviews
Sky Force Reloaded is the FDA generic version of the shoot-em-up. Everything is so plain, and the lack of personality will dissuade all but the most hardcore of shmup fans.
Son of Scoregasm is a challenging game that demands your complete attention. Less patient gamers may be turned off, but those looking for an experience that requires both skill and pattern recognition will appreciate what is present here.
Sombrero: Spaghetti Western Mayhem could have been a solid party game, but a number of questionable design choices really hinder it in the long run. The lack of bots, limited amount of modes, and unorthodox control scheme rob it of any potential it may have had.
Jump Gunners has a great premise, but the game could have used some more time in the oven. Those going solo may be somewhat disappointed at the lack of modes and bots available, but partygoers will love throwing down locally.
Superflight is not the type of game you'll play for hours on end, but its high speeds and twitch-based gameplay serves as a great palate cleanser between meatier titles.
Defenders of Ekron is an ambitious title that treads new ground, but the execution leaves something to be desired. It is just far too tedious, and though the new elements are welcome, the core foundation needs some work.
A Hat is Time is a truly charming game. It does not quite have the polish of Nintendo or Rare's greats, but the sheer amount of originality and care that went into it makes it a must-play for platforming fans.
The cute-em-up antics of Beekyr Reloaded have got the foundation down, but its presentation will make it or break it for a lot of people. Those weaned on shooters like Gradius may like what's on display here, but your mileage may vary.
Andromeda Wing is not for everybody. It caters toward a very specific niche, and though it is not the most polished title ever, it will appeal to those looking for something from the 90s.
GROOVY is a broken game. The physics, gameplay mechanics, and even graphics are lousy, and will lead to a bad time.
There Is A Genie In My Szechuan Sauce is one of those "ironic" meme games in which people gush about it on Steam and tell their friends about how it's "so bad it's good." However, the joke is on you if you play this poorly acted, poorly constructed mess of a game.
2URVIVE's Horde-like structure brings nothing new to the table, but that does not mean it is a bad game. Those who can overcome its unfair nature might enjoy turning their brain off and blasting away the undead, but don't expect anything too revolutionary here.
The fourth episode of Telltale's Minecraft Story Mode: Season Two is rushed. The lack of focus in the story, paired with the overly random humor and bugs, make it the weakest episode by far.
This conclusion to Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy needed a lot more runway. The interactions between the crew of the Milano are sharp and full of character, but the mad rush to finish the plot ends up feeling somewhat unsatisfying when all is said and done.
Geostorm drags puzzles out for far too long. Diehard fans of the genre might get some enjoyment out of this one, but the rough mobile port job and repetitive nature will turn a lot of people off.
ShineG in the Bullethell is a broken game. It's cryptic, repetitive, and full of laughable Engrish. There are countless other shmups on the market today that would be a better use of your time.
GASP is an awful walking simulator that is a huge waste of time. It's lack of focus, deep story, interactive elements, substantial gameplay, and even ending will leave players frustrated.
We didn't think it was possible, but ShineG in the Zombies beats out One Way Trip as the worst game Gamers Heroes has played this year. Save your money and don't believe Steam's lies – this game is awful.
Vitamin Girl might wear its inspiration on its sleeve, but it just can't hold a candle to Pepsiman. Those looking for an endless runner can choose from a feast of other options that would be a better use of your time.
The fourth episode of Guardians of the Galaxy might be filler, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Though it does not move the plot as far along, those that like the action sequences found in the movies will appreciate what is present here.
