Short as it may be, Radiant One is a powerful experience that’s absolutely worth having.

If I didn’t already enjoy and know how to play Lightseekers going into playing this digital version, I’m not sure I’d have much of anything positive to say about it. It’s rough-looking, feels really thin, and doesn’t explain itself very well at all. I imagine this could be a neat digital companion to anyone who’s already invested in playing the Lightseekers card game (especially considering the game allows you to scan in existing physical cards you own), but as a standalone game, Lightseekers is hard to recommend.

Some rules in Pocket City are frustratingly rigid, while others are so easy to work around that they feel game-breaking. These inconsistencies ultimately make for a game that only stays enjoyable up to a limit. Although there is a pretty fun progression to the game, you never feel like you have the full freedom to make the city you want. Instead, you always feel like you have the freedom to make the kind of city that nobody wants, which is not particularly satisfying.

In a lot of ways, holedown feels like the mobile game equivalent of comfort food. It’s something that’s extremely enjoyable from time to time, but too much of it may not be the best thing for you. If this fits the bill of what you want in your next mobile game purchase, than go ahead and give holedown a try, but if you’re looking for a substantive experience on your phone, you may want to look elsewhere.

Where Motorsport Manager Mobile 2 felt like a reinvention of the series, Motorsport Manager Mobile 3 just seems like a continuation of pre-existing ideas. There’s more things to do and a greater variety of ways to do them, which is great, but it’s also a bunch of stuff that feels pretty familiar. This familiarity makes Motorsport Manager Mobile 3 feel a bit unsurprising, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still fantastic.

This driving game can feel amazing, but only really if you have the right equipment to play it.

Identity V is a little waffly in its introduction, but the actual game is great fun and feels pretty slick on a smartphone.

Up Left Out may not be the most detailed or complex puzzler on the App Store, but it celebrates simplicity and is a lot of fun.

The follow up to King of Dragon Pass is finally here, and it’s absolutely worth playing.

Pokemon Quest is an easy game to pick up and play, but don't expect anything too deep once you get going.

Suzy Cube is a simple 3D platformer, but it's definitely one of the best for mobile.

This game is a series of circuitous f2p grind systems, but somehow still ends up feeling super fun.

This endless pool game has a really bizarre structure that makes it hard to enjoy.

The only thing wrong with Silverfish DX is that there’s already better and more varied versions of the same game out there. Specifically, Geometry Wars—a game that precedes Silverfish by nearly a decade—provides a similar experience in a more robust package. Silverfish DX just strips too many things out of a traditional twin-stick shooter and doesn’t add enough new stuff back to it to make itself stand out.

Dragon Ball Legends may be true to the series to a certain extent, but that doesn’t make it a good game.

Feist is beautiful to look at and interesting to play, but casual gamers might find it too challenging.

G30 is a stark and beautiful puzzler if you're willing to give it the time it needs.

Sir Questionnaire’s lightweight roguelike action would be more enjoyable if not for a few bugs.

This idle game has a few more things in it than others, but none of it really changes the experience.

Pocket Run Pool is most certainly the best pool game I've played on a phone. It has simple, intuitive controls, and a setup that lets you play offline anywhere and always have a satisfying challenge. What's more is that it has creative modes that keep the experience interesting and drive you to keep playing it over the long-term to improve your skills. It's hard to imagine what else this package could have to make it more compelling. Do yourself a favor and give it a download.

Scalak’s simple fun is fine, but it makes you wonder if there should be something more to it.

Animal Super Squad is a goofy vehicle platformer that is a little too awkward to control.

Disney Heroes is a bad cash-in game that fails to demonstrate the creativity or charm of Disney movies.

This game takes the core ideas behind Minesweeper to make a pretty satisfying puzzle experience.

Homo Machina is a charming and creative adventure game in almost every way, and it’s full of little surprises. The only one of these surprises that isn’t so great is that it all ends too soon. Still though, if you’re looking for something short, sweet, and fun, Homo Machina is hard to pass up.

Aside from a neat idea and some nice visuals, BOMBARIKA is a complete mess. Both technically and creatively, the game feels half-baked. All the while, the game is trying to hit you up to give it more money. On pretty much all fronts, there’s not much to enjoy about BOMBARIKA.

Odium to the Core is a cool rhythm game with a few niggles here and there. Its difficulty can be a bit all over the place at times and if you're not very fond of the music style, it's likely this won't be for you. However, if you enjoy the challenge, the Badland-like visuals, and the music, you'll definitely enjoy it.

The thing to know about Super Hydorah is that it’s a game that checks the boxes in all of the right places. It’s a side-scrolling shooter with a retro feel, but just enough of its own clever ideas to make it stand out. It may not have a difficulty curve that makes sense, and its story may be very weak, but those things don’t register as problems while you’re playing it. Instead, you focus in on the tight controls, classic presentation, and inventive level design that makes this simple shooter formula work.
