A standard broken-family Disney movie, but with magical thinking.
God damn this is a low-effort piece of shit.
Inspired by A Wrinkle in Time – (1962 book), by Madeleine L’Engle
 The bits and pieces thing makes no sense.

You are part of an elite squad who freeze time to move near cover and get shot in the head.
I guess they didn’t play their own game, because there are obvious flaws. This would have been more fun if they got rid of the whole moving around like an RPG. Like the old X-COM ga– oh wait, the old games are just better. Why was this game made?
Properly titled The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

The Koreans invade the United States, and you are a freedom fighter who hides behind invulnerable cover in an on-rails playable cutscene.
alt-F4 as soon as I was placed in a “home base” which forced me to RP-walk everywhere. Inexcusable.

A bog-standard 4X space game, but with a tiny font.
Overwhelming, and with an annoying interface.

A semi-roguelike tower defence-ish game.
Utterly impossible. Doesn’t make a lick of sense. Unlimited waves of stuff, for some reason. Can’t build enough, the resource limitations are obscene.

So cute! Whenever I play a game with a little fox type thing, I will always think of Okami – (2006 game).
I ended up getting stuck at the winter/summer level, trying to go east with the spirit. I guess I’m the first person to ever play this, ever.

In a futuristic Germany, a mute guy has relationship troubles.
An interesting world, but generally terrible writing.
Intended as a spiritual successor to Moon – (2009 movie), though I don’t see how.

As a commentary on Edward Snowden or WikiLeaks or some such, a list, that somehow exists, is out in the clear and being hunted by various spies.
It would have made a huge difference had this not been portrayed as a flashback/debriefing. Because of this complete failure in storytelling, there was no sense of risk at all; an important part of a spy movie like this.
Based on The Coldest City – (2012 comic), by Antony Johnston

Artificial intelligence is created, but they forgot to send a philosopher, so things go to shit somehow there are survivors.
It borrows from various other things, but doesn’t execute anything very well. It just comes off as being badly written. I should have guessed based on the production company’s amateur-night page.
See also Terminator Genisys – (2015 movie).

An oldschool music player.
Has potential, but is missing critical features and its development appears to have ceased. Only good for playing ASMA (Atar) .mus, .str, and .wds files.
