Unscored - The Anacrusis
Jan 7, 2022

The Anacrusis looks to be everything I want from a spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead. The pick up and play nature is compelling from the drop, and the 70s sci-fi setting is so refreshing. The AI Driver really makes every session totally different, facing different combinations of aliens in different settings doesn’t get stale. I know the next few months of my life will be spent replaying the game over and over again with my partner, and I can’t wait.

Instead of being fun to play, Gal Gun Double Peace focuses entirely on half naked schoolgirls.

3.5 / 10.0 - Dead Man's Diary
Jul 17, 2023

Playing Dead Man's Diary is simply a tedious experience, and unless you have an invisible wall fetish you should stay well away.

4 / 10.0 - Animal Shelter
Mar 24, 2023

Animal Shelter Simulator should be a game full of joy and life, but in reality it's just bland, repetitive and hard to control.

4 / 10.0 - Sports Story
Dec 31, 2022

Sports Story is a huge disappointment, with a ton of technical issues, a lack of tutorials and unenjoyable new sports making it one to avoid.

Oct 4, 2022

With clunky combat and poorly explained mechanics, Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2 fails to hit the mark in any meaningful way.

4 / 10.0 - Tears of Avia
Jan 2, 2021

With sluggish combat and not much in the way of new ideas, it's hard to recommend Tears of Avia to all but the most hardcore tactics fans.

4 / 10.0 - Star Horizon
May 28, 2020

Star Horizon simply has too many issues to warrant playing. Poor graphics, voices and variety make for a dull experience, and one level is broken to the point of unbeatable. If you want to blast some enemy ships, just play Starfox again.

Nov 12, 2019

A disappointing package which fails to showcase the appeal of the classic series. Bad boss fights and bad mini games make this remake hard to recommend.

4.5 / 10.0 - Adore
Aug 2, 2023

Adore brings action packed combat to the monster collecting genre, but unfortunately it's just too repetitive and frustrating to recommend.

I expected to love Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer, but the teen humour is painful and the shooting is just okay.

Mar 1, 2023

Digimon World: Next Order is grindy, unintuitive and just plain dull, and no amount of exciting evolutions will change that.

4.5 / 10.0 - Goodbye World
Nov 24, 2022

Goodbye World tells an interesting story about game development, but the slow pacing and gameplay issues really let it down.

4.5 / 10.0 - Way of the Hunter
Sep 6, 2022

Way of the Hunter sacrifices fun for realism, and coupled with some other aggravating elements is a game I cannot recommend

Aug 19, 2022

Sword and Fairy: Together Forever looks pretty and has some fun moments, but constant cutscenes and a poor translation make it hard to recommend.

4.5 / 10.0 - Neptunia ReVerse
Jun 19, 2021

Neptunia ReVerse has enjoyable combat and engaging RPG systems, but it's not worth enduring the "fan service" to experience them.

Apr 19, 2021

It isn't a bad game, but Stitchy in Tooki Trouble is just too slow moving and simple for anyone with platforming experience.

4.5 / 10.0 - The Game of Life 2
Mar 30, 2021

It's fun for a game or two, but when you realise how much less The Game of Life 2 costs on mobile you'll want to spin again.

Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? tells an enthralling story, but the basic grindy gameplay detracts from the overall experience

5 / 10.0 - Telmari
Feb 20, 2024

Telmari was a game I was excited to get stuck into, but the central mechanic doesn't lend itself to precision platforming and instead leads to frustration.
