HaberDashers copies the Mario Kart formula to a T, but a number of design quirks prevent it from reaching the plumber's heights. It's far from a bad game, and the aesthetics are truly charming, but the lack of polish and limited content hurt its long term replayability.
The Indifferent Wonder of an Edible Place lacks any sort of purpose. Eating buildings is certainly a unique premise, but the game is an absolute chore to play.
It's clear that the bare amount of effort was put into Rebound Ball's design. This title manages to do the unthinkable by completely decimating what should be the simplest of formulas.
A destruction derby made out of cardboard miniatures makes for a sound concept, but the lack of options and poor AI suck away a lot of its potential.
Pyro Fighters channels the spirit of the 8-bit platformers that took the Nintendo Entertainment System by storm, but the brutal difficulty and rampant bugs makes the challenge more frustrating than fair.
Minecraft Dungeons is a dungeon-crawling adventure that promises a lot of fun for gamers young and old alike. While its replay value may wane with time, a constantly growing progression system and its various difficulty settings offer a lot for those less affected by the repetition.
While Maneater has its problems, it can also be fun once you get used to the combat. However, those on the fence should wait for a patch or two before investing.
For a game based on a snack mix, Chex Quest HD is truly one of a kind. However, as a FPS, it lacks the polish needed to be anything more than a Doom clone with some silly trappings.
Helltaker features good puzzle mechanics, great aesthetics, and amazing storytelling. Though it is a bit on the short side, this venture into hell is worth a go for anybody looking for a little love.
Fly Punch Boom: First Impact! is chock-full of pure kinetic energy, but the rock-paper-scissors-style combat doesn't quite read the room. There is plenty of over-the-top action to be found here, but don't be surprised if you feel there's a bit too much luck involved with its proceedings.
Turning the shmup genre on its head, Blast Rush Classic kicks things up a notch with its focus on firepower and incredible sense of speed.
Adding pizzazz to the world of Pong is a tall order, but the RPG mechanics in Hypergalactic Psychic Table Tennis 3000 largely pay off. The challenge may be uneven and the humor crude, but those looking for something new can certainly find it here.
Though Dirty Harry's Thunder Drive shamelessly copies Burnout's Crash Mode, the end result lacks the polish that put Criterion's title on the map.
While Daymare 1998 isn't going to light the survival horror world on fire, it is a solid first attempt at the genre. Make sure to watch some videos to get a feel for it first.
Following up a series as renowned as Streets of Rage with a new entry is no small feat, but Streets of Rage 4 hits hard with its signature frantic action and stylish audiovisual presentation.
Everything about Gears Tactics screams quality, and it's easily one of the best debut titles this genre has seen in years. It's nearly time for X-COM to step aside – this genre just went up a Gear.
Only the most die-hard fans of the Mana series should consider picking up Trials of Mana. While the remake may be faithful to the original, it doesn't make for a good game or a good time.
XCOM: Chimera Squad is a brave adventure into new territory. Featuring a more interesting narrative design, some much-needed changes to combat, and a cast of interesting characters, all of these things would lead to a brilliant game if it weren't for the myriad of bugs, crashes, and usual XCOM tiring randomness. It's an absolute must-buy for fans of the genre, especially at its current price, but a bit more time in development wouldn't have hurt.
The first episode of Tiny Bunny successfully establishes a grim and ominous atmosphere, but be warned that the plot is a little underdeveloped at this point.
Shard is an inoffensive platformer that doesn't leave a lasting impression. Its floaty controls are far from game breaking, but they lack the level of polish found in the established leaders of the genre.
