Touchdown Hero: New Season (Win 8)

Free to play, pay to win

On the face of it, Touchdown Hero is a sports version of an endless runner. It tasks you with going from one touchdown to another, dodging opponents as you go. But in reality, most people will be paying $3 to unlock all the costumes via a microtransaction and using that to complete the game in about 3 minutes. In and of itself, that would not be so bad. Paying $3 to save a few hours of grinding seems like a good deal until you realize that is the only way to complete the game. The game is glitched and several achievements cannot be unlocked without purchasing the uniform via microtransaction. I can only imagine the rage that would bubble over for anyone who tried to get the completion "legitimately" before finding that they spent hours of their life trying to save $3, only to find that they need to spend it anyway. Just spend the $3, play a game or two to unlock the achievements and forget the game exists.
