A-Men 2

Bloober Games’ cutesy 2D platformer does more than disappoint and frustrate level after level. It boasts an interesting concept but ultimately struggles to capitalize upon it. The visuals are not to die over, nor to die for with the actual puzzle design being the root of all evil in A-Men 2. Lack of new-age help features and visuals cues leads you to banging your head against a wall. Which coincidentally, sounds more fun than playing A-Men 2.
