"Call of Duty: Vanguard was one of the most original Call of Duty releases in a decade; however, terminally online basement dwellers and right-wing content creators ensured that we will unlikely see another entry like it anytime soon."
"Despite being hampered by Covid-19 development delays and the trials and tribulations associated with being the first Call of Duty title to launch onto 9th-generation hardware, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has established itself as one of the most beloved Call of Duty titles released in the last decade."
"15 years ago, Ship of Heroes may have lived long enough to die with dignity, but in today's market, its chances of survival are slim to none."
"While Call of Sentinels succeeds in being a more mechanically complex version of Vampriue Survivors, unfortunately, there is no market for such games. As a result, Call of Sentinels died within seconds of being released in August 2024."
"CYGNI: All Guns Blazing is a decent attempt at making a modern bullet hell shooter. However, an overreliance on self-praise and dated portrayals of female characters reduces it to a case study of things to avoid doing if you wish to succeed."
"Level Zero: Extraction is a nice attempt at unseating the king of the genre, but like all other pretenders before it, its attempts at unseating Escape from Tarkov will prove in vain."
"How can Archor Games afford to release so many terrible asset flips onto Steam at $100 a title? I have no idea. Still, like the rest of their back catalogue, Multiplayer Shooters is a minimum-effort asset flip that is not worth playing."
"Diplomacy is Not an Option is a near-perfect indie game for $15 or less; unfortunately, it retails for $24.99 in early access, and that price is set to increase before leaving Early Access."
"The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak is more of the same in the best way possible, and its release brings the West one step closer to full parity with Japan, with just one title left before full parity is achieved."
