3 Up, 3 Down – The Best (And Worst) Games From January 2016

The Worst

Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink

***Click here for COG’s full review***

Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink is a casual adventure, click-point hidden-object puzzle mystery game with a World War 2 era Steampunk art style. This game had a lot of promise with its brilliant art style but in the end the gameplay and short campaign killed it. Its affordable price will be tempting for many but just realize it’s one of our worst games of the month.

Death By Game Show

Death by Game Show is a twitch-action/tower defense/strategy game set in the 26th Century, inspired by the movie Idiocracy. It’s full of pop culture references but this unrefined mess of a game gets old and annoying real fast. Death by Game Show doesn’t have many redeeming qualities and has firmly cemented itself in our “must avoid” category.

Questria: Rise of the Robot Skullfaces

***Click here for COG’s full review***

It’s hard to beat up on these games that aren’t exactly household names but this Dark Souls and Bloodborne wannabe falls short in nearly every department. Its combat is shallow and the gameplay isn’t even remotely as satisfying as the games it wants to be. Even with its eye-catching art and a bubbly soundtrack, Questria both succeeds and fails in its quest to deliver a solid dungeon crawler.
