XEL
“An open-world, 3D platformer set in a mysterious world that blends sci-fi and fantasy elements, xel could get a few points for its image and original story. But make no mistake xel Because Zelda: The former is so crude and annoying that few gamers will have much fun playing it. And the problems aren’t just on the Switch: The PC version also received similarly poor reviews.”
Blade Runner: Advanced Edition
“An “enhanced” port of a pretty good 1997 point-and-click sci-fi adventure game set in the same universe as the first sword runner film, this remake was not as successful as the original. In fact, it’s not even as good as an unofficial port released for PC a few years ago. Critics and users complain about the new graphics and many glitches.”
