Bland, broken, and just overall bad, Road Maintenance Simulator feels like an Early Access game that was accidentally released. If you're craving a simulator title, then look elsewhere.
Tedious busywork and a lack of gameplay variety makes Cruise Ship Manager a hard sell. It's not a Titanic-sized disaster, but there are plenty of similar games that are more worthy of your time.
A disappointing effort for such a fantastic looking game, Titanium Hound's fundamental gameplay sounds interesting, but ends up as a frustrating mechanic that spoils what could have been a fun shoot 'em up.
An intriguing concept that falls flat thanks to a repetitive mission structure, a lack of rover variety, wonky controls, and nothing to keep players engaged. Enjoyable for an hour or so, but by then you've seen everything Rover Mechanic Simulator has to offer.
Combining turn-based strategy with rougelike elements is a great idea, but unfortunately The Dragoness can't quite pull it off. Enjoyable for a while, but the lack of interesting combat and engaging narrative will be enough to turn most players off.
Bland, repetitive, and offering zero challenge, Zorro The Chronicles isn't aiming to be the next must-play title. What it does instead is gives children an entry point into other titles of the genre, so could be one to try if you have little ones desperate to play something new.
In Nightmare could have been great, but the atmosphere and environments aren't enough to make up for the woeful frame rate, frustrating enemy encounters, and overall tedium of the gameplay.
An enjoyable game for the first few hours, Animal Shelter quickly falls into mediocrity after this time when it's evident that there isn't anything more for it to offer.
Enjoyable for a time, Garden Simulator doesn't have the staying power to keep players coming back for more. Whilst it can become addictive, the lack of variety means that this wears off far sooner than I would have liked.
Fun with friends for a short time, Firefighting Simulator - The Squad quickly loses its appeal when played alone. Commanding a team of unthinking AI that seemingly ignores your orders makes for a frustrating time.
Joe Wander and the Enigmatic Adventures features gorgeous environments and some tricky, yet enjoyable, puzzles. Camera and movement issues aside, this is a fun adventure that puzzle fans will get a kick out of.
A compelling pair of lead characters and an interesting world, bogged down by a derivative combat system and a lack of polish. Not bad, but a far cry from being a must-play RPG.
Short and lacking a little variety, Accident is a decent simulator that could do with a bit more substance in order to truly give it a recommendation.
Whilst not featuring enough content to draw players back into Steelrising, there is some enjoyment to be found in Cagliostro's Secrets, albeit a very brief amount.
Underwhelming in all aspects outside of the story and characters, Maglam Lord isn't a game that will have you hooked from beginning to end, but there is enough here in its narrative for those looking for something a bit more light-hearted.
Although it holds up well aesthetically, The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered is an underwhelming grind fest with not enough interesting narrative to keep players engaged.
A beautifully designed title that truly brings the Sumi-e artistic style to life, Labyrinth of Zangetsu, unfortunately, doesn't quite do enough with its gameplay to create the next must-own dungeon crawler.
A gritty and gory tactical RPG, Redemption Reapers has a few good things going for it, but ultimately the unbalanced difficulty and lack of engaging narrative may put many players off.
A great physics system and various modes to play keep Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 6 afloat amidst some technical issues and an uninspired aesthetic. Recommended for motocross fanatics only.
Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires doesn't do anything that previous games in the series haven't already done. A lack of variety and graphical issues that should not be present in 2022 hold this back from being a must buy, even for die-hard fans.
