Though the game’s mix of puzzle and strategy is novel, the mix of dumb frustrations and sameness sets in pretty quickly
Despite its visual simplicity, this budget adventure manages to be charming with some pleasant surprises along the way
If you (and potentially a friend) don’t mind the frustration of trying to get (and then keep) going, Robotry is a unique challenge
With no quickly meaningful objectives, merely flying around empty landscapes making deliveries, this falls flat
Abe and the Oddworld series feel like they’ve hit a new stride with Soulstorm, but there are also some losses
An intriguing historical mystery helps to add some flavor to this adventure, but the minigames miss more than they hit
With its decidedly older-school approach to survival horror and more mundane “scares”, this won’t be a win for everyone
While not making for a bad experience, paying for a game still dripping with in-game purchase nonsense isn’t cool
Simple lesson: Don’t cross your cat or they’ll set a series of diabolical death traps for you
Feeling like a shakily-adapted VR adventure, it’s a somewhat serene but often irritating experience
A very attractive and satisfyingly violent run-n-gun shooter, though dogged by periodic performance issues
If you don’t mind the repetitive grind of bringing up your giant beastie, it can be quite endearing
This very dark take on childhood fairytale characters is quite cool pretty, but it gets let down by less inspired combat and controls
Colorful, reasonably challenging, and with its own general feel, this budget tower defense title has appeal
If your goal is to get into a groove of satisfying service, maintenance, and renovation tasks, this does a reasonable job of it
Though its thin overall roster may lack depth, this budget fighter looks and plays great, and has a remarkable Story Mode to boot!
An old favorite and 4 very different games make this pack fun, but as usual not all will probably be a hit for everyone
While playing out in real time, your lack of direct control of your units in Warpips makes for a pretty unique feel in play
While it’s always nice to see budget-priced offerings for under-represented genres, Last Beat Enhanced simply falls flat in most areas
While not every event is medal-worthy, this game’s 10 Olympic events work surprisingly well and make for fun competition
