Project Root is rather basic in its design, but somehow manages to capture the appeal of classic SHMUPs such as Dragon Spirit and Xevious, to name just a few. Project Root is no Ikaruga, but it provides just enough action to keep your trigger finger(s) sweaty in between missions. And since the controls feel smooth and responsive, the end result is a shooter that has a lot of potential.

Rich at GameSpew writes: "Whether it’s because of terrible controls, boring gameplay or even just downright ugly graphics, a bad game is a bad game. Unfortunately, I’ve been subjected to quite a few over the last couple of years on the PS4, and so I thought I’d point out the worst of the worst; my top 10 worst games on PS4 in fact.
Hopefully you’ll heed my words and stay away from this ragtag bunch of putrid excuses for video games. I’ve played them so you don’t have to!"
