Remothered: Broken Porcelain is a disappointing survival horror sequel with major performance issues.
Terminator: Resistance's authentic looks fail to disguise its uninspired design and forgettable action.
At its best, AO Tennis is a clumsily controlled simulation of the sport. At its worst, it's underdeveloped, under-featured and entirely broken in certain areas. It could well be improved in the weeks and months ahead via dedicated developer support, but as far as first serves go this one has landed with a thud, well wide of the service box.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened could have been an intriguing clash of Cluedo/Clue with Cthulu, but instead it’s just a case of squandered potential.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me’s tour through a maniac’s mansion is disappointingly lacking in any real menace or surprise.
Matchpoint Tennis Championships serves up a smooth-playing game of tennis, but saddles it with a sub-par career mode and under-featured multiplayer.

Paradise Lost fails to take full advantage of its gripping premise and the haunting atmosphere of its setting.
Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse nails the look of a comic strip, but its gameplay is just as paper thin.
Twin Mirror is a frustratingly uneven adventure that left me with surprisingly little to reflect on.
Neither compelling as a survival simulation nor captivating as a story-based experience, Windbound is all at sea.
Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise isn't so bad that it's good, it's just average and technically rough.
Someday You'll Return is just barely worth it the first time, let alone a game you might actually come back to.
Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a disappointing golf game that just barely manages to make the cut.
The Occupation is an investigation game that tries to make every second count but is ultimately a missed opportunity.

It’s not without its memorable moments, but Alone in the Dark fails to escape the shadows of the other contemporary survival horror titans that it helped spawn.
