The games in this collection ranged from okay at most to mediocre, unfortunately. The Hub was not bad, but I felt as if it was...empty? I know that it's an abandoned base, but in other collections, the hubs had more meat if you know what I meant. IMO the weakest collection in the series, though it still offers a few hours for those who want more of the same formula, but definitely not recommended as an entry to the series.

1-Fruit: This was my favorite game out of the seven, I liked how important it was to get an accurate shot while using the rifle, and the enemies that required runes to kill, but most of the time you don't need to use the rifle and acquiring runes are just running in a large empty area.

2-Axis Mundi: Cool idea to unlock the lore with taking photos within the ghosts' memories, but the action part is not something special. An alright game nevertheless.

3- Black Relic: Great atmosphere, and I like how it's related to Torpledook's Hand Of Doom, but gameplay-wise it was too slow for me. It's an unnecessary slowness, because the enemies don't really pose a threat so it doesn't create a tense feeling either.

4-Uktena 64: Made me laugh a few times, and the concept reminds me Squirrel Stapler. Not as good as that game, however. Don't really know what to say, it's okay, I guess.

5-Seraphixial: I love the artstyle BUT as someone who doesn't really like cheap jumpscares, it irritated me more than a few times. Also, the weapons feel like water guns. Probably the scariest game in this collection though (due to the jumpscares).

6-Rose of Meat: I had high hopes, for this one, but the "summon meat first then shoot its eyes" loop got tiring really quick. It was also very frustrating trying to create a bridge from summoned things, so unfortunately this was a disappointment for me.

7-The House of Unrest: I like the pixel style but everything else about it was downright bad. From its hilariously bad AI pathfinding skills to how directionless you are in the game (except maybe two notes, but most of them are just there to tell a cliché exorcist story), this was not really an enjoyable experience. The end boss was fun, but it's just so easy (like other enemies in the game). All in all, another letdown.
