No matter how you dress it, it's still a walking sim at the end of the day, now with MORE vehicles so you don't have walk in your walking simulator.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

Kojima Productions, Guerrilla Games

We've come full circle: The toxic and leech seed combo in Generation 1 plays the game for you, 29 years later.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Game Freak

It's funny seeing Mario copy Sonic for a change and copy the grinding and wall riding mechanics, barely use them and then fill the game with boring long tracks.

Mario Kart World

Nintendo EPD

Ah yes, Soulslike dodgefest. That's the kind of gameplay Silent Hill needed.

Silent Hill f

NeoBards Entertainment

Just stretching the map doesn't really improve gameplay, Capcom...

Monster Hunter Wilds

Capcom

The ubislop is still here and it's still the same, now with a big black samurai to hit people with. Innovation died several titles ago and nobody is attempting to bring it back.

Assassin's Creed Shadows

Ubisoft Quebec

Chinese Room honors the original game in the only way they know how: by making the combat somehow even worse.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2

The Chinese Room

It's just the same JRPG gameplay, but with more golden accents and persona 5 menus. Incredibly boring and unimaginative.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Sandfall Interactive

It's CoD yet again but, in some way, even blander and with less content.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

Treyarch, Raven Software

Just because it has more gameplay than the average VN doesn't make it more engaging. Feels more like busy work in-between the parts the devs and animators actually cared about.

Dispatch

AdHoc Studio

Drive around in a featureless desert and complete missions in any of the one ways the game allows you to accomplish them!

MindsEye

Build a Rocket Boy

Riding the bike might have been fun if there was something to see other than Ubisoft's ideal landscape.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

Retro Studios, Next Level Games, Virtuos
