Gungrave GORE is one of the worst of 2022. It's functional, but supremely awful the whole way through.
Buggy, broken, and boring, Away: The Survival Series is awful all around.
This game fails at almost everything it sets out to do. With janky animations, embarrassing story, awful combat mechanics, and horrible enemy layouts and AI, there's just not much positive to say about it.
I can’t recommend that anyone play this game unless they just want to be truly surprised by how bad it is.
With a story that's as empty and meandering as its gameplay, The Last Worker is an ugly, tedious slog that I'm glad to be done with.
Tower Princess is a 3D rogue-lite inspired by some of the best in the genre, and teaches you how they can be done quite poorly.
Dull and clunky, this is one hell of a weak, uninspired action game that's plagued with poor design choices and technical issues.
Sanity of Morris will test your sanity with buggy enemies and an inane plot that doesn't make sense. A lot of it doesn't make sense.
Bad graphics, bad gameplay, bad design, bad everything. Wait, no. Solid voice acting. Almost flubbed that. Stay away from this one.
Tamarin has a very cute protagonist and an interconnected world to explore but the gameplay and level design are extremely poor across the board.
Regardless of the strong art direction, voice acting, and dialogue, Romancelvania can't overcome its failings in most other aspects regarding gameplay.
There are some good ideas in play here, but Food Truck Simulator gets many of its basic elements wrong to the point where the game becomes a repetitive pain to play.
Tape: Unveil the Memories has compelling elements, but they're overshadowed by some truly bad mechanics and dull monster encounters.
Right now, I just want to escape from thinking about this game again.
Maid of Sker has very strong visuals and the hotel itself is well designed. But everything else, from its gameplay systems to its progression and foes, is so weak and ill-considered that I can't imagine most people enjoying what little it has to offer.
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered adds some prettier textures and lighting, but fails to make this poorly-designed, frustrating game worth another look.
JackQuest is a very average game held back further by questionable design decisions. It's not necessarily a bad time, but it isn't a good one either.
Witch Thief has some good ideas and is fun at times, but it's poorly thought-out and extremely frustrating, even considering the bullet hell genre.
Although it has enjoyable movement and a solid story, Aztech Forgotten Gods feels like a shell of a game that's been stitched together.
Offensively mediocre in multiple ways, Biomutant is a waste of resources. It's not terrible, but there's no excuse for it to be this vapid and underwhelming.
