1.5 / 5.0 - Left Alive
Mar 12, 2019

Even with its exhaustive, laundry list of issues, it's telling when a broken game of this magnitude still manages to rustle up some semblance of potential.

Jan 28, 2019

It's clear what sort of tone or manner of presentation Vane is going for despite its short run-time and undeniable vacancy of explanation.

It is extremely difficult to recommend Creature Romances: Kokonoe Kokoro to anyone other than the niche of visual novel fans who devour all games with non-human romances.

1.5 / 5.0 - Super Seducer
Mar 7, 2018

It's going to be tempting for many of you to buy Super Seducer solely for the unintentional hilarity and maybe even write an “ironic” positive review for it based on that alone.

1.5 / 5.0 - Past Cure
Feb 27, 2018

Phantom 8 Studio shouldn't be discouraged from future attempts at delivering a cinematic experience of a game on par with triple-A output, because they still have some neat ideas and directions to take.

1.5 / 5.0 - Road Rage
Nov 19, 2017

Road Rage takes the Road Rash formula and fails to live up to any single entry in that series despite great advances in technology since its last entry — let alone its heyday.

Monsters of the Deep is a beautiful tragedy in terms of a VR experience. The visuals are stunning and it could have been a great fishing simulation, but ends up being lazy and broken. A fishing VR game is a good idea and the controls may be better with the motion controls, but trying to fish is a hassle even when a sense of consistency is established.

Reservoir Dogs is a classic movie that deserves a better homage than Bloody Days for its 25th anniversary.

MAGICAL×SPIRAL could have been something special and you can see the intent of the developers.

1.5 / 5.0 - Crystal Rift (VR)
Dec 9, 2016

Crystal Rift might keep players exploring for a while, but it feels like a prototype for a better game which doesn’t yet exist.

1.5 / 5.0 - Snow Horse
Aug 1, 2016

Snow Horse is a mildly amusing concept that could have been decent if it were developed beyond the idea of “let’s put a horse on a snowboard.

1.5 / 5.0 - My Little Kitties
Jul 18, 2016

My Little Kitties is a two to four hour visual novel which might appeal to people looking for a brief view into the life of a high-school aged father, but it is somehow not nearly as cute as the name implies.

Super Duper Party Pooper! might not be pure excrement, but it is not necessarily much better. To contrast the game with an actual bowel movement, spending an extended period of time with either will cause one to feel hollow inside, as if a part of them is forever lost with that time that can never be recovered.

Much of this review has been spent pointing out Ghostbusters’ flaws and issues.

Even if you can get into the controls, there’s simply not all that much here.

ATOM GRRRL!! doesn’t sit right with me.
