In this mobile version of Puzzle Fighter a lot of the base action feels the same, but it's hard to tell if you ever deserve your wins or losses. Did you win that match because you outplayed your opponent, or did you simply have better cards than them? The free-to-play model obscures the answer to this question so much that Puzzle Fighter never really feels satisfying, at least not in the way it used to. Instead, the main draw is the appeal of unlocking things, rather than developing your puzzle-matching skills.

Simulacra 2 struggles to get you invested in its shallow, clumsy narrative.

It's tough not to be cynical when confronted by such an uninspired freemium town building sim such as this. It hardly uses the movie license well.

I can see and appreciate the things Endling is going for, but it mostly only makes troublesome and weak attempts to reach them. Outside of the marketing, it never really feels like a game where you are the last fox on the planet. You don't actually get a good window into the horrors of human destruction. Yes, you play as a fox and you see cut down trees, but the message isn't sold to you within the game itself or through the things it asks you to do, which is pretty disappointing.

Their whole existence as a band made up of digital characters seems like the perfect makeup for a great video game, but instead the developer went with a safe clone of another game. It almost feels like they didn't try.

Scoop's arcade action relies too much on random luck than quick skills.

BladeSmith's sharp ideas are dulled by borderline incomprehensible presentation.

Ivy the Kiwi? is a clear indicator if there ever was one: there is a big difference between games on phones and tablets, and games made for them. The price tag may be lower, but take our word for it: try the free trial first, and consider going 'retro' if you're intrigued.

The spot-the-difference game works well enough, but for a couple of qualms. The first is that occasionally the precision of the touch controls is a bit off, particularly with the smaller, subtler differences. That's annoying because you get penalized. Secondly, forcing me have to complete five puzzles in a row before I can move on to the next five, and then making it that I have to replay all five puzzles if I run out of time is a little too penalizing.

Running was Forrest Gump's forte, so obviously an Endless Runner 20 years later makes sense, right?

Fun for five minutes isn't enough for Epic of Kings.

This location-based Pokémon game does the bare minimum in the Pokémon and game departments, but somehow creates some appeal nonetheless.

This attempted hail mary ends up feeling like more of a personal foul.

Hills of Glory 3D is the most aggravating kind of game: one with good ideas but sloppy execution.

Even real tornadoes last longer than Tornado Time.

This space opera is a fun exploration to partake in, but then the actual combat starts.

Take on opponents in this one-on-one, turn-based street hoops game.

Mech battles should be very cool and epic, Mech Battle Arena is unfortunately neither.

This text-based adventure has an intriguing story, but everything else about it holds it back.

Glass Lighthouse is a puzzle game with some niggling irritants.

Create some truly awe-inspiring hairy artwork in Debonair Facial Hair — just don't expect to have that much fun in the process.

There's not a lot of entertainment to be had from iSlack. It's a very simplistic game, and its lasting appeal is minimal.

The Deer God looks fantastic, but it falls drastically short.

Deadman's Cross fuses a zombie-driven FPS with card-based battle gameplay. It's just a shame that some of this play is automated and needs a persistent internet connection.

Evilibrium is yet another sad example of how free-to-play games can be extremely cynical experiences.

For the patient, or the diehard fans, it may be worth playing the waiting game. However, if this is somebody's first foray into the Minecraft universe, I'd advise tacking an extra Jackson on and just picking up the PC version instead.

FFFFF2P makes an amusing statement, but the game itself isn't a whole lot of fun to play thanks to repetition and control issues.
