Snow Horse is a mildly amusing concept that could have been decent if it were developed beyond the idea of “let’s put a horse on a snowboard.
Super Duper Party Pooper! might not be pure excrement, but it is not necessarily much better. To contrast the game with an actual bowel movement, spending an extended period of time with either will cause one to feel hollow inside, as if a part of them is forever lost with that time that can never be recovered.
School Girl/Zombie Hunter had the potential to be a B-movie style good time that unfortunately is so bad that it's bad.
Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventures of Dai is an interesting idea in bringing the anime to video game form that falls short in execution.
Krut: The Mythic Wings uses an animated Thai film to create a 2D adventure.
Active Life Outdoor Challenge is mildly entertaining from a game standpoint and features beginner level physical activity from an exercise one.
Fallout 76 strives to be both a single player experience and online multiplayer game, and due to the concessions it makes to achieve this, ends up falling short in both objectives.
Yume Nikki: Dream Diary is one of those games that's a good idea in theory that just doesn't come together in an enjoyable way.
Inmates is a textbook example of untapped potential.
Pylon Rogue attempts to combine several good ideas in a way that just doesn't quite succeed on the level they hoped.
A.W.: Phoenix Festa attempts to combine an action RPG with a dating sim and is actually able to pull it off. It is a short game that can be completed in just a few hours, but it has some replay value since getting different partners for the Phoenix Festa or trying to date different women can offer a different experience the second time around. There is not a great deal of challenge to it but it is a cute game that can be casually enjoyed, provided one has thick enough skin to handle repeated rejection from digital young ladies.
Cast of the Seven Godsends Redux could only be more old school if it actually was made in 1991.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants is a decent addition to the collection of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games. It succeeds by playing it safe. The two original arcade games are regarded as great arcade brawlers in addition to being some of the better Turtles games, and the gameplay of Wrath of the Mutants is heavily patterned after Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time. Fans of the franchise and genre will undoubtedly enjoy playing through the game once or twice, but outside of collecting all the trophies, there isn't much incentive for repeated playthroughs. There are no different game modes, no collectibles and the only difference in difficulty levels is the number of lives. Even with the additional content, it takes only slightly more than an hour to put an end to Shredder's plans and rescue April. It's fun enough to kill some time on a boring afternoon, but even the most hardcore Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan would hesitate to say this game kicks some serious shell.
For better or worse, Gargoyles Remastered remains a product of its time.
SaGa games have always felt like the odd man out in the world of JRPGs and Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song is no exception that statement.

Like many of the B-movies that inspired it, Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed isn't something that will be considered great by a general consensus, but does have a certain appeal to the right audience.
Technical issues notwithstanding, Saints Row is not without its shortcomings, but it succeeds more often than it doesn't.
Postal 4: No Regerts is a return to form to the cult classic Postal 2.
Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires brings new gameplay features to the table, but remains the same Three Kingdoms era slaughter fest fans have been enjoying the past twenty years.
