XEL Review

Neil Watton — Tue, 12 Sep 2023 18:57:47 +0000

For the good - the visuals, audio, navigation of paths and occasional combat moments - there are tens of things in XEL that will hold you back.

Children of the Corn (2023) – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 12:46:21 +0000

Children of the Corn (2023) is just about the least horrifying of horror movies that we’ve watched in the past few years.

Gnomes Garden 8: Return of the Queen Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 14:57:26 +0000

What we’re left with is half a game. Gnomes Garden 8: Return of the Queen stops abruptly halfway, thanks to a critical save bug, and it’s a flip of a coin whether you will emerge with your save game in one piece afterwards. At the moment it’s a no-brainer - don’t dare play this. Wait and see if 8floor address the issue.

Hypnotic – Film Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 12:40:32 +0000

We stopped caring as reality after reality was proven to be fake, until we reached the point where Hypnotic became an unwitting comedy.

Greyhill Incident Review

Alister Kennedy — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 12:10:47 +0000

Greyhill Incident feels like an unfortunate swing and a miss at a hugely underused slice of horror. Using Greys as a threat should make for a rather tense and scary alien abduction experience, but whilst Greyhill Incident is indeed horrific, sadly it is done so in all the wrong ways.

Age of Solitaire: Build Civilization Review

Dave Ozzy — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 08:04:02 +0000

Age of Solitaire: Build Civilization is one of the best-looking solitaire games we’ve played, but it’s a fancy wrapper on some unmitigated tosh.

Blacksmith Forger Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 21 May 2023 14:17:02 +0000

If Blacksmith Forger was a free-to-play mobile game, we’d be complaining about the lack of material. You could barely make some tinfoil out of it. When there are dozens of alternatives for Overcooked!-style games, you’d have to be desperate to pick Blacksmith Forger out of the line-up.

90” Soccer Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 20 May 2023 15:51:42 +0000

The 90 seconds is less about the length of matches, and more about its shelf life. You’re going to retire 90” Soccer faster than you can say Jack Wilshere.

Sentry Paragon Review

Ryan Taylor — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 14:31:16 +0000

Sentry Paragon feels like a cash grab in the worst possible way.

CyberHeroes Arena DX Review

Paul Renshaw — Sun, 26 Feb 2023 21:09:03 +0000

You’d be best off avoiding CyberHeroes Arena DX and spending your time with Vampire Survivors instead.

Legendary Heroes Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 19 Feb 2023 13:18:43 +0000

If Legendary Heroes was a fun, dynamic MOBA, all of the grindy free-to-play balancing and legacy systems might have been forgivable. But it really isn’t.

Touchdown Pinball Review

Richard Dobson — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 19:07:41 +0000

You can’t argue with the price of Touchdown Pinball, but it very much feels like a case of getting what you pay for.

Ships Simulator Review

Darren Edwards — Sat, 07 Jan 2023 10:44:27 +0000

Ships Simulator is a voyage into the tedious, but the inexcusable visuals drag this one down to the depths.

Krampus Kills Review

Paul Renshaw — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 16:16:22 +0000

If you find Krampus Kills in your Christmas stocking, you’ve clearly been very naughty indeed.

Megalan 11 Review

Paul Renshaw — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 19:38:52 +0000

Megalan 11 just isn’t fun. There is no sense of jeopardy, no sense of danger, no sense of impending doom if you don’t escape...

Babol the Walking Box Review

Dave Ozzy — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 11:33:39 +0000

Babol the Walking Box feels like the original Crash Bandicoot, but worse in every conceivable way.

Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Review

Neil Watton — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Police Simulator: Patrol Officers should be handing in its badge for lack of care to the community, well before its shift is over.

41 Hours Review

Paul Renshaw — Mon, 31 Oct 2022 15:19:18 +0000

There’s a chance that you’ll have had enough of 41 Hours after just 41 minutes, never mind the 20+ hours that are claimed for full completion.

Little Mage Adventure Review

Dave Ozzy — Wed, 26 Oct 2022 11:43:00 +0000

Little Mage Adventure has got all the challenge and satisfaction of putting the bins out, but thirty times over.

Plunder Panic Review

Richard Dobson — Sat, 15 Oct 2022 16:00:07 +0000

The action is too frenetic that any enjoyment you could get out of Plunder Panic is stunted by not knowing what is going on around you. With fewer players you can get a bit of enjoyment out of it, but even that quickly goes.

Superola Champion Edition Review

Paul Renshaw — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 17:24:18 +0000

The era of endless runners is over now, and Superola Champion Edition makes sure it goes out with a whimper.

Strategic Mind: The Pacific Review

Paul Renshaw — Mon, 01 Aug 2022 14:07:42 +0000

If Strategic Mind: The Pacific could have been streamlined a little, optimised for the console market, it could have been a contender, but as it is the obstacles to just getting on with the game are too damn high. And that's a shame. A massive shame.

King Leo Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 02 Jul 2022 16:20:26 +0000

Unfortunately, if we told you that King Leo was worth playing, we’d be lion.

Minigolf Adventure Review

Oh, Minigolf Adventure, what an unfathomable mess you are.

Drunken Fist 2: Zombie Hangover Review

Darren Edwards — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 18:43:00 +0000

Drunken Fist 2: Zombie Hangover’s core issues remain since the first outing, but some small improvements have been made. Despite this, on balance it will take a lot more to make this a game to recommend.

Box Dash Review

Dave Ozzy — Mon, 28 Mar 2022 12:33:25 +0000

Box Dash feels about as enjoyable and fluid to control as an actual cardboard box.

Darkland II Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 27 Mar 2022 10:03:52 +0000

The best way to describe Darkland II is that it’s the platforming equivalent of writing lines in detention.

Snowland Adventure Review

Dave Ozzy — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 14:36:28 +0000

Snowland Adventure gets points for trying. It’s better than the average sub-£1 game on the Xbox Store, in that it’s colourful and knows its way around a puzzle. But it mostly gets melted away by bugs and a runtime that wouldn’t get you through an episode of Ice Road Truckers.

Dou Review

Dave Ozzy — Thu, 03 Mar 2022 11:44:54 +0000

There’s no argument for spending £1.69 on Dou. You can’t even point to some easy achievements, as it has none. It’s a clinical, charmless little platformer that pokes you in the ribs and demands that you make pixel-perfect jumps without any feeling of reward for doing so.

Ammo Pigs: Cocked and Loaded Review

Alex Greco — Wed, 23 Feb 2022 17:05:37 +0000

Ammo Pigs: Cocked and Loaded is a glitchy mess with little to no incentive to play. Frustrating mechanics with boring gameplay means the final recipe equals a low quality game.
