Tennis World Tour 2
Better than the reviews suggest by far, however they are somewhat accurate in their complaints, and I think some dev work on it could help improve it. Even as-is I think it’s good as a tennis game past the initial hump, and as a game in general I think it’s passable.
Specific points:
1. “I can never release the button at the right time, it’s random!”
The timing mechanic is difficult to grasp, because it is “release a button ‘at the right time’” ..with not enough feedback on when the ‘right time’ really is, because it depends on the specific animation picked - so how close you are to the shot, how fast it is, how far up you’ll contact the ball, etc.

Update after April 23, 2021 patch:
The game is approaching Top Spin 4 levels now. It’s not quite there in some areas (online netcode is a bit shaky and the variety of tactics usable in rallies is still pretty low), but in most aspects it’s now a pretty good tennis game. I’m definitely impressed by the level of improvements and support the game has gotten.
The custom animations for the players are a really nice touch that makes exhibition mode much more appealing. Graphics have definitely seen a big boost since launch which is unexpected but nice. I’m super happy to finally see the white on-court advertisement boards replaced. Compared to the version of the game that launched it’s unrecognisable, really,

If you’re looking for a relaxing brick breaker this is a decent option.
That being said there are still some things that could be better. My biggest issue is how uninspired some of the stages are, with the priority being on making a cool or referential picture (like a floppy disk or face) instead of levels that are interesting to play. There are still some great levels here but fewer than you would expect from a game like this. Also, the settings are a bit sparse.
I did really enjoy that you bounce from screen to screen and you get a chance to save yourself, it was a fun take on the genre.

Great brick breaker game that has its own unique style and twists.
When you miss hitting a ball and one gets by you, a charged up red firey ball bounces around at what seems about double the speed. If it gets by you, you’ll lose progress each time it gets by you until you either lose a ball eventually or until you finally manage to hit it.
You cannot use the keyboard at all and it’s all controlled by moving your mouse up and down.
A few things missing from this game are the typical power ups I’m used to seeing in break breaker games like this. You know the power ups that make your paddle bigger for a short time, give you the ability to shoot the bricks for a short period of time, or offers you a shield behind your paddle in case you miss the ball..
