A few intriguing ones today.
Ben 10: Power Trip
Ben 10, the Zoomer version, not the OG version is on vacation in a non descript European city, so Germany then. The peace is interrupted by the most try hard emo looking wizard ever seen and now he has to save the world from monster invasions, for those who don't know, Ben 10 can take on the form of ten different aliens but the game only had the budget for six, and apparently not enough for a sound fx guy either as this game lacks any audio impact. Very basic open world collectathon with lame fighting.
D-Tier Game
Clockwork Aquario
Back in 1992, this game was meant to be the final arcade title from Westone developed on the aging Sega System 18 board, it was cancelled in a mostly complete state in 1993 due to poor consumer tests, in 2017, strictly limited games purchased the rights from Sega and brought it back to life with collaboration from ININ known for rebuilding other lost Sega games along with former Westone members, 28 Years, 81 Days starting from late 1992, Clockwork Aquario was released setting a new world record for development time.
You punch colourful creatures and throw them at other creatures, the gameplay is very reminiscent of Wario Land but far more anime esque. The game is short and a little erratic with difficulty, the story behind the game is more impressive than the actual game.
C-Tier Game
Figment: Journey into the Mind
Inside the mind of a car crash victim, you play Dusty who is minding his own business when nightmares steal his scrapbook prompting him into action alongside an optimistic bird called Piper, Dusty is the Mind's Courage and it's up to him to defeat the fears of Disease, Spiders and Loss to regain his scrapbook all while piecing together the events that led to these nightmares. A competent puzzle game up there with the likes of Psychonauts, a solid game that even includes musical numbers.
