While the title boasts an addictive "just one more" quality, it lacks the content, variety, and polish needed to elevate it among like-minded games.

8 / 10 - Mortal Shell
Aug 17, 2020

Mortal Shell retains the best elements of the genre - weighty combat, tension, exploration, and progression - and succeeds in refining a deep and beloved genre in ways that feel rewarding, familiar, and new, all at the same time.

Unlike the title it's so heavily inspired by [Papers, Please] it doesn't really understand that putting clever and enjoyable gameplay ideas at the forefront is key.

A highly innovative, amazingly well-written, perfectly scored game with engaging characters, fun areas, and a very satisfying battle system.

Aug 15, 2020

While it doesn't match up with the best of the sub-genre, due to performance issues and generic designs, it provides enough exploration opportunities, deadly combat scenarios, and mysteries to satisfy hardcore fans.

Skully has some good ideas and a surprisingly moving story, yet a lot of the good stuff is undermined by inconsistent gameplay and technical issues.

Aug 5, 2020

Without any unique selling point that it handles at least competently, What Happened is ultimately hard to qualify as anything more than awful.

Phobia taps into a very visceral sensibility with Carrion’s fluid, action-based mechanics, which are both simple and fun to execute.

6 / 10 - Rocket Arena
Jul 30, 2020

Final Strike Games' first title excels at short-lived fun, but monetization practices & current imbalances eventually cause engine burnout.

The attempt to tackle both stealth and combat creates a game that never really quite manages to fully get a grasp on either.

5 / 10 - Tennis 1920s
Jul 20, 2020

Paying extra seems to be part of the package with Tennis 1920s. While the game offers accessible controls, some good-looking backgrounds, and sporadic fun, it throws up too many restrictions and paywalls to guarantee a consistently enjoyable experience.
