Caretaker (2019) Review
Caretaker is an atmospheric horror game that has a few immersion-breaking flaws, like a flashlight that lags behind your mouse, and stacks of fire extinguishers on walls. 4/10

Asteroidiga is a side-scrolling shooter with wrapping screen edges and a fire button that needs to be mashed (no autofire). It feels like a game that came out of a cereal box. 4/10
EA: EndZ Village is a city builder that’s awkward to navigate and confusing to play. The tutorial tries to provide some instruction, but it gets stuck on steps or doesn’t say what to do next. 4/10
Alien Invasion 3D part 2 is a 3D space shooter where you don’t control your ships movement, but you can rotate (which also affects your firing angle). It’s not fun, and definitely not worth $16. 3/10
EA: Ultimate Live Wallpaper is a beautiful but CPU-hungry collection of animated wallpapers. Running it eats up an entire core of my CPU, and it crashed a few times as I played with the settings. 4/10
Air is a paper plane flight simulator with unfunctional controls. Pressing A does nothing, and when I failed my first attempt at the first level, there was nothing I could do to restart. 3/10
Orbitron is a buggy 3D obstacle course that says “For educational use only” in the bottom right corner. Trying to jump gives your character a seizure, and you can easily clip through things. 2/10
IGT Slots Paradise Garden is a gambling simulator with a variety of cheap-looking slot machines. The game has no risk, just reward as you repeatedly spin until the game gives you more credits. 4/10
Centralia: Homecoming is a laggy horror game with a voiced introduction that hurts my ears. The AI can see you through walls, and the gameplay is rather poorly done. 4/10
Remember, Lights Out is a mobile port of a platformer where you lose vision as you progress. I was having fun until level 5, at which point your success is partially memory and partially luck. 4/10
