2.5/5 Review

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

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 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.

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 abides by the same template as dozens of other games.

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. 

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

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

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.

There are clearly fans of path-making games on the Xbox, otherwise why would there be so many. But that creates a problem for Tiny Biomes.

Genuinely, we haven’t a clue who Running Fable Petite Party is made for. It turns out that in a race between hare and tortoise, no-one wins.

Hextreme Void comes across as a self-inflicted dare: to make a game with the least amount of player involvement possible.

Direction Quad feels a little like Frogger, but with the frog’s shoelaces tied together (we know, frogs aren’t big shoe-wearers).

I’m not going to try to oversell Buffet Boss. It’s basic to look at and play, and never feels like you’re preparing food - everything is reduced to standing on squares.

I don’t think there is quite enough content here to really warrant a purchase, even for the cheap price. But then, if you have always wanted to shoot a giant emoji, Emoji Battlefield - Origins could (just about) be for you.
