A missed opportunity to build upon the better elements of its predecessors, Tennis World Tour 2 is a frustrating experience that will leave players feeling like John McEnroe after a missed line call far too often.
Though excellent conceptually and visually, Iron Harvest is a run-of-the-mill real-time tactics game with significant unrealized potential, lack of depth, and minimal innovation.
While Windbound initially instills the awe and wonder of a brave new world to explore, the game quickly grows stale once the structure of it becomes readily apparent.
Summer in Mara is a beautiful game for the eyes and the ears, but spends too much time on fetch quests and not enough on story.
Pathologic 2 does a fine job of capturing the feelings of a town under distress, though it can feel like a painful chore to play with technical glitches and loading times hindering the experience overall.
Thanks to some poor performances and a serious lack of meaningful player choice, it's not a complex decision whether you should check this one out or not.
Death Stranding is a beautiful and unique game that deserves praise for trying something a bit different. However, your enjoyment of it really will hinge on your tolerance for the game's core delivery gameplay of “move item from A to B” and Kojima's episode-length cutscenes.
Only children are likely to find Bee Simulator an enjoyable experience as it offers very little value for money with its short campaign, lack of stimulating challenges, and repetitive gameplay.
The series is back up to its old tricks, the bad ones, as this new installment hosts a crazy number of glitches and annoyances. Some fun can be had playing with WWE’s toys, but the cost of entry seems steeper than ever this year.
Hero Is Back is a decent beat 'em up, held back by too much repetition over its short run-time to make it worth recommending.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint mostly feels like yet another AAA game that was released too soon. However, despite its faults, glitches and an awful push towards microtransactions, there's just enough fun in this open-world tactical shooter to warrant checking it out.
With unsurprisingly shady surprise mechanics and little to no significant movement on the pitch, FIFA 20 is a stopgap entry that only has Volta to boast about.
Despite the beautiful pixel art and inspired soundtrack, Summer Catchers drops the ball with its RNG-heavy gameplay and monotonous quests.
A speedrunner's delight masked as a Metroidvania that does little to differentiate itself from the titans of its genre.
Close to the Sun's art direction, themes, and basic ideas are going to draw many in, but once the story gets started and the gameplay fails to advance, they'll be trying to jump overboard.
There are a handful of things to really like, but when it comes down to it, there's an unjustifiable price tag hovering over a game whose content is as light as a feather.
A pale imitation of a great franchise, Dangerous Driving just can't quite fill the hole left by Burnout.
Warparty may be a decent game for simple multiplayer matches, but its lack of creativity and rough mechanics keep it feeling older than the timeframe it's based upon.
Competent but uninspired match-three gameplay and a surface level story leave The World Next Door with little to offer unless you're looking for a simple, relaxing experience.
It’s a crying shame that this One Piece game is so one note.
