2.5/5 Review

Drop It: Block Paradise is too finicky, too capricious in its reliance on a physics engine, to be a satisfying puzzler. 

Wings of Bluestar is pretty much what we expected - a short shooting game with easy Xbox achievements.

Neon Souls is a run of the mill platformer that fails to stand out from the crowd.

With some attention paid to the user experience, Beholgar could have been a contender, but as it stands right now, it’s hard to recommend this to anyone but the most ardent of Metroidvania fans. 

It’s easy to imagine a version of Run Sausage Run! with all the trimmings, with a much greater depth of flavour. But this is just a plain chipolata, no bun, and we wish a little bit more care was taken in preparing it. 

Sift through the scraps of ideas and mechanics in God Damn the Garden and you might find the odd tiny nugget of gold. But it’s just about the loosest, most aimless game of Doom we’ve ever played.

Feeling like a bit of a grind and hugely frustrating, we’ll instead applaud the sheer number and variety of races included in Super Woden GP.

PAW Patrol: Grand Prix - Race in Barkingburg is the most threadbare of DLC, yet it's supplementing one of Outright Games’ best titles.

Primal Light is a retro-styled platformer that should only really be considered by serious masochists.

‘Super’ Rebellion, in hindsight, feels like an exaggeration. Mediocre Rebellion’s more appropriate, but that probably wouldn’t sell as many units. 

A true disappointment is what we have here in Gungrave G.O.R.E.

We can see what Bricky To Me could have been. It’s a proof-of-concept, a pilot episode for what a platformer might be as a roguelike

What Bratz: Flaunt Your Fashion amounts to is a static playmat. Your kids can dress up their doll and wander about it, looking for treasure chests, and there’s some enjoyment to be found in that. But once you start engaging with the world around you, talking to interviewees for the Bratz magazine, you realise how flimsy everything is.

There isn’t much in Arkanoid Eternal Battle to entice new players

Pandaty felt too much like homework we didn’t want to do. Its levels are washed out, the humour seems to come from another planet, and it demands patience and skill without giving much back.
