Lost Judgement Review – Uneven Judgment
Lost Judgment is the sequel to Judgment, and like that game is a Yakuza series spinoff focused on the private detective work of Yagami and friends. It primarily uses the same Ijincho map as Like a Dragon, but don’t expect much in the way of references to that game. Outside of a very subtle cameo…

Beach Buggy Racing 2 Review – Obscured Vision
Beach Buggy Racing 2 is a kart-racing sequel to a mobile game that was later ported to a bunch of other systems, but not Steam. I haven’t played the original and can’t say what’s changed here, but I can say that it’s missing most of the crap you’d normally expect from a mobile-first game. There…

All-Star Fruit Racing Review – Not Quite Ripe
I’m not entirely sure why a kart racing game starring fresh fruit exists, but here we are. Despite a title that very much suggests a $3 game created from randomly selected store assets, it actually seems to have had quite a bit of effort put into it. The number of tracks and characters on offer…

Shing! Review – Teenage Regular Ninja Humans
Shing! is a co-op brawler that, on original release, had some kind of right stick-based combat system that seems to have been widely disliked. This was removed in a later update and it now uses a more traditional system based on button and stick inputs together. It will be quite familiar to anyone who has…

Madrid Noir Review – Basically a VR Play
Madrid Noir is a VR-exclusive… thing. It calls itself a movie, but since the set is 3D and it occasionally needs your input, I wouldn’t call it one. It’s also hard to call a game since it’ll carry on without you doing anything for the vast majority of the run time and the interactivity is…

Our Winter Sports Review – Our Winter of Mild Content
Our Winter Sports is a Winter Olympics simulator, although it avoids needing to pay for any licenses by masking it as a competition between some random kids and having a few fake events. You play a decathlon-style series of 10 events and score points based on how you do in each one. Events range from…

Rev Up! RC Grand Prix Review – Running on Empty
Rev Up! RC Grand Prix is supposedly a game about racing RC cars, but there’s really no way to tell that they’re not supposed to be regular cars other than the giant people. Games about racing small cars typically borrow from titles like Micro Machines and have crazy household tracks, hazards like pets or pencils,…

Desktop Soccer Review – Middle of the Table
Desktop Soccer is an arcade-y soccer game that theoretically features a bunch of modes, but that is really entirely about the tournament mode. Of the others, practice and friendly matches are really the same thing except that one is against the AI and one is against humans. Two other modes are gachas to get new…

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Review: Passing the Bar
Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is the third non-arcade release in Square’s rhythm game series centered on Final Fantasy music. It isn’t a particularly radical departure from the last release, 2014’s Curtain Call, although it does feature dramatically more songs and characters as well as extensive plans for expansion DLC. Other than some changes to the…

The Ship Review – Murder on the High Seas
The Ship is a multiplayer game from 2006 that, in its primary mode, drops players on a large ship and tasks each of them with hunting down a specific different player. Everyone in the game (except, optionally, a handful of “passenger” players) has a target and is someone else’s target, but all you know at…
