2.5/5 Review

Bunny Pit Stop Review

Bunny Pit Stop was so lacking in challenge that I felt like I was tidying the house.

King of Tokyo Review

It’s entirely possible to finish a game of King of Tokyo and wonder what to do next, but the package is so slimline that the answer is often ‘stop playing’.

Village of the Curse Review

Village of the Curse tells a perfectly fine story that treads familiar ground, with gameplay that works well enough without ever doing anything particularly unique.

Chico’s Delivery Review

Chico’s Delivery is not shovelware. People toss that word out too freely, and there are games on the Xbox Store that deserve the label more than this.

Kitsune Kaeru Review

Kitsune Kaeru can be consigned to a box marked ‘novelty’. It’s not a bad platformer, and its gimmick freshens things up nicely, but too many of its levels feel like a chore.

Wizard of Oz: Hidden Object Games Review

To stretch a Wizard of Oz analogy, this could have done with a little more heart, brains and bravery.

SUMMERHOUSE Review

SUMMERHOUSE is a weird one.

Aery – Calm Horizon Review

If you are trapped in a never-ending loop of playing Aery games then this isn’t painful. If you’re a sane individual who has better things to do, well, you can give Aery - Calm Horizon a miss.

Survivor Mercs Review

Survivor Mercs feels like a gift from well-meaning grandparents. It's well wrapped and you can tell there's good intentions, but once you start digging into it you realize it isn't what you asked for.

Peter Pan: Hidden Objects Review

We would go as far as critically (Peter) panning this take on the little green guy, but J.M. Barrie’s creation deserves more care than what’s on offer here. Peter Pan: Hidden Objects comes across as an unfinished hidden object game.

Sands of Aura Review

Sands of Aura feels like a game of unfulfilled potential.

Around the World in 80 Days: Hidden Objects Review

Much of Around the World in 80 Days: Hidden Objects is so bad, it’s plain bad.

Fennec Fox is Hungry Review

I’m tempted to say that you should vote with your wallet: Fennec Fox is Hungry shouldn’t be encouraged, with its litany of bugs and control issues.

Deckline Review

Deckline may be a competent take on Durak, but it had potential and squandered it. It’s not a mortal  wound for anyone hoping to play Deckline, but it’s quite the flesh wound.

A Clareira Review

I just couldn’t bring myself to play A Clareira for long stretches. It swings, pendulum-like, between too-easy and impossible.

Slide Viking: Treasure’s Path Review

Slide Viking: Treasure’s Path abides by the same template as dozens of other games.

Cinemoji Collection Review

Cinemoji Collection is one player, not multiplayer. It’s controller-only, which makes text input a ball-ache. It’s hardcore in its questions, and has barely any of the basic features that you would expect from a quiz game. BUT the puzzles can be clever, and cine-enthusiasts will get a kick from answering them. 

Clue: Murder By Death Review

If you want a clear example of ambition outstripping the execution, then Clue: Murder By Death is your case.

Little Legs Review

I’m absolutely a fan of Little Legs’ ambition.

Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition Review 

Montezuma's Revenge - The 40th Anniversary Edition is a curious nostalgia trip back in time that will do little other than please those who enjoyed the original.
