Spiderman, but with guns.
I get that this has some interesting core gameplay, but it's just not fun because the controls are too awkward.

Like scrabble with words, assemble phrases to do varying degrees of insult-damage.
This definitely should appeal to some people, but it doesn't appeal to me. I think this would be especially attractive to people with an Android phone.

Be a gang member, run around in a sandbox world and shoot stuff, I guess.
It's alright.

Build and expand a space-faring race who learns they are not alone in the universe.
Master of Orion - (1993 game) but with updated graphics and a confusing interface. I expect would have loved this in the past, but now it's just awkward. I'll still tag this as 'liked', as it's pretty good. It's very hard in the eyes. Take a lot of breaks.
Extremely stupidly hard.. and confusing. I'm shelving it. I only paid $12 USD for it, so it's not a big loss.. still, I wish the UI was better and the tutorial was better and the gameplay was better..

Laser things, move things, push things and find your way through semi-puzzle stuff.
With an art style (and opening sequences) reminiscent of Borderlands and gameplay reminiscent of Okami, this game has a very strong initial impression on me.
Not open-world, and definitely "on rails", but it does give a lot of power to the user as to how to fart around to progress.
While overall good, the controls are wonky and cliffs are obnoxious. There should be no falling off mechanic and the game should instead dangle the player for a moment and never let them fall.
