"Bullet hell. That’s the term usually attributed to old-school scrolling shooters that feature an obscene amount of projectiles for you to avoid. When done right, bullet hell games can be hugely rewarding despite their often insurmountable difficulty, but without the right amount of care and attention they can end up being just a harsh lesson in frustration. Whilst Project Root may not have as many bullets vying for your destruction as some other games in the genre, the odds at times are still overwhelming, and unfortunately the end result is mainly the latter." - GameSpew

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!"
