This game probably gets an extra half star just for the gimmick of a train based racing game.
That gimmick is fun for about 10 minutes, with races finishing in stations and the commentator's bizarre quips.
After that though, it's just frustrating and ugly and has nothing to offer as a video game.

A GTA-clone through and through, but certainly one of the better ones out there, even if it's on the shorter side.
The game can look visually fantastic in the neon lights of Hong Kong, especially for a game from 2014.
A good collection of side activities and a strong undercurrent of Hong Kong action movies makes it an fine package.

My opinion on this game constantly fluctuates between it being good, and it being forgettably okay.
I love its aesthetic, characters like Parvati, and the corporatism theme. But its gunplay is average and the plot is weak.
I went into it expecting New Vegas, and instead just got another Open-World RPG. Not bad, but underwhelming.

Singularity is a Frankenstein's monster of other games, including Call of Duty, Bioshock, Half-Life, Bulletstorm and more.
Using the time travel device is quite fun, as is catching a barrel in mid-air, but the gunplay is very standard.
Overall, it's a solid B-level game with a couple of neat ideas, but isn't as good as the games it takes inspiration from.

Dead Space 3 isn't bad. It's worse than that, it's disappointing. Especially compared to the first 2 games
The game brings very little new to the table, and the stuff it does bring is worse than in the previous games.
While the weapon crafting is okay, and it's nice to be in a different setting, the game is a predictable slog to get through.

A good follow up to the 1st game, but I find for each improvement, something has taken a step back.
Isaac controls smoother, and gun play is better but now Isaac doesn't shut up, and the game focuses on action and setpieces
It overall averages to about the same level as the first, good 3rd person shooter with an interesting world.

The first game of which I have a memory of being underwhelmed and disappointed by., and I know why now.
Competent is the best way to describe this game, from it's track design, to models, to gameplay. It's all just okay.
Not bad, but very much in the shadow of CTR, and with Nitro-Fuelled existing, there's little reason to go back and play this.

The only one in the series that I'd argue is actually scary at times, although that isn't for long
It has a strong atmosphere and world, although its pacing jumps around a bit, and Isaac is a pretty dull character.
A solid beginning to the series, and probably my favourite of the trilogy. Well made, if somewhat clunky at times.

Not a bad party game but it doesn't have the variety in rounds and prompts.
'Sub the Title' is by far the strongest part of this game and I'd love to see it developed more, maybe into its own game
It can pass a few hours if you want something different to play, but any Jackbox pack is a better investment

The fact that this is amongst the first games I ever played probably influences my opinions of it.
But to this day, I believe it is the pinnacle of arcadey fun, with well-designed tracks and incredibly tight controls.
A game so perfect that my mum would practice it while I was at school just so she could try and beat me.

Is this game as good as New Vegas? No. But that doesn't make it a bad game.
Exploring the Wasteland is enjoyable and there are a few stand out quests around, even if its story is lacking.
It's RPG elements are perhaps underwhelming and its gameplay hasn't aged the best, but it's a better game than Fallout 4.

At its worst, this game is a clunky, glitchy, unfinished mess, that constantly feels on the brink of crashing
But at its best, it's a superbly written RPG, with a great world and collection of characters, all of which have great voices.
Make sure you install the fan patches, and then enjoy this cult classic.

The best game in the genre of 'Teenagers kill God through the power of Love and Friendship', also known as JRPGs.
With a collection of characters and stories that I didn't want to leave or end, I've never loved a game as much as this one.
Combined with one of the best soundtracks in video game history, and it's truly worth every penny.

A dating sim with a huge number of events and storylines to go through, with each playing out differently
It's humor certainly leans into what I can only describe as 'Tumblr-y', but I didn't find it to be off-putting
If you're not a fan of the genre, Monster Prom probably won't change that. If you are though, it stands as one of the best out there

One of the best examples in gaming of how letting unbridled creativity running wild can result in a truly unique game.
With a fantastic soundtrack, quirky humor, and an inherently fun gameplay loop, it's a pleasant distraction that you can come back to again and again.
