A good casual game, but I found myself wanting more from the game. The basic game play mechanic is solid and the additional balls and themes are a nice touch, so hopefully a future update will add more features.- 148Apps

Gobliins 2 is a good game at heart, but due to problematic controls (coupled with lots of timed puzzles) and a vast array of incredibly obtuse puzzles, it's easily eclipsed by other more accessible titles.- 148Apps

Guns Royale has most of the things you'd find in a game like Player Unknown's Battlegrounds, but the ways in which it departs from the formula make it less fun. By being so loot-focused and action oriented, Guns Royale ends up feeling like a slot machine with shooter mechanics rather than a satisfying Battlegrounds-like.- 148Apps

Titanfall: Assault is largely just a gussied up version of Clash Royale that leans mostly on its brand to make itself stand out.

Full of Stars is a neat combination of ideas in a poorly executed package. Although it has a pretty glossy exterior, that doesn't make it any easier to look past the control, difficulty, and performance issues that it has. In fact, it makes things more frustrating. Full of Stars could be so much better than it is, and it's a real shame that it isn't.- 148Apps

It is convenient that you can play Match Land without a data connection, but that's pretty much the only edge it has over other match-three games. Its byzantine upgrade structure and loads of free-to-play mechanics make it hard to enjoy, and–even if those weren't present–the core matching mechanics seem a little too random to be satisfying.- 148Apps

Sailing the high seas should feel like an adventure, but in Tempest, it just feels like a battlefield. While the game does have some surprisingly nuanced naval combat, it otherwise feels kind of empty and slapdash. If you just want to fire cannons at other boats, this might just be right up you're alley. Otherwise, I'd recommend you check out the recently released Sunless Sea for a more robust seafaring experience.- 148Apps
