A puzzle action game that offers fun movement and a plethora of content to get through.

It's Qix combined with setting up an archaeological dig in your backyard, all the while avoiding mummies and moles. With better controls and some balancing, this could be quite enjoyable.

Paper Titans has a unique presentation style and a lot of personality on top of a rather standard, if not enjoyable three star puzzle experience.

Dark Avenger is to ARPGs what Zenonia is to KRPGs. An average effort hampered by design choices centred around grinding and in-app purchases.

Very reminiscent of the Cannon Fodder series, Tiny Troopers 2 is a simple to control real time strategy game that does not take itself too seriously at all, and ends up being quite enjoyable because of it.

A fun little game to play when you've got a minute or two to spare, and want to play a monster destroying a military force. Aside from that, there's just not much here.

Iron Man 3 is a Temple Run clone that has some nice visuals and unlockables, but is held down by its freemium mechanics and loose controls.

A very solid endless runner that blends jumping and attacking with only a single tap. Locking the additional characters after making your initial choice may be a deal breaker for some.

Fish Out Of Water! has an immediate and friendly appeal to its simple gameplay, but a polished interface is not enough to disguise the lack of variety in the gameplay itself - what should be a more-ish 'just one more go' system is buried under a system that rewards luck as much as skill.

Ark of Sinners Advance feels far too loose to pull off its action-platforming, which is a shame because the world you travel in is a delight to explore.

Disconnection issues aside, NVS Wargame can be a hard game to penetrate thanks to a sluggish early campaign and coy AI opponents in the story missions.

Strategy & Tactics: World War II strips back its depth of gameplay in an effort to make things easier to approach, however this simplicity has brought a new set of problems to the table.

We've seen Lumber Jacked and its platforming challenges before, but while it's polished in many respects, some of its bugs and gameplay features threaten to remove the satisfaction of acing its many three-star stages.

Dream Chaser tries to create variety by creating a story mode aside the normal endless runner grind, but its design around a freemium model while being a paid app leaves a bitter taste. The game isn't good enough to break away from the stigma this creates.

When Gemini Rue was released on PC it was a wonderful throwback to the heyday of adventure games with new sensibilities and a fantastic narrative. The translation to iOS has not changed any of this.

An enjoyable little physics platformer that doesn't cling to the traditional way of doing things (see what I did there?).

Mighty Dungeons is a solid and appealing dungeon crawler for those who hate the idea of having to read a novel's-worth of tutorials just to survive the first level - it's a simple hack and slash, and for some that's more than enough.

Dungeon Hunter 4 is the game Dungeon Hunter 3 should have been, but as a result this Action RPG feels like a lumbering, outdated behemoth even despite its gorgeous exterior and unique feeling character classes.

Slayin' knows exactly what it is, an action game with some RPG seasoning to keep the player invested, but after a few plays, you'll see everything this title has to offer you.

Bobbing is a simple, yet refreshing entry into the platforming genre. Why? Because of its circular logic of course!

Injustice: Gods Among Us attempts to whet the appetite of those waiting for the full console release by offering a 'lite' brawler; in a way it succeeds, but without more depth or complexity it's just a pretty distraction.

Duke Nukem 2 may burst with nostalgia, but it was always a fairly clunky side-scrolling shooter and little has changed since its debut in 1993.

A defense game with some enjoyable music, but not much else going for it thanks to its freemium design.

The Other Brothers is a beautifully presented and highly unique platforming experience for the iOS platform, but without tighter controls the game goes from challenging to frustrating all too easily; thankfully it's also short, so you won't be entirely infuriated by the experience.

BADLAND doesn't simply look pretty, it's an absolute treat to play as well as you guide flocks of disturbing creatures through a labyrinth of hazards in an attempt to uncover the secret behind its strange pseudo-mechanized world.

Sorted! nails its presentation and micro-game concept perfectly, but without more agency and depth it's easy to grow bored of what's on offer.

Ms. Splosion Man is still the fun and over the top platformer it was on consoles, but without modifications to suit iOS devices it has some teething problems.

Runaway: A Twist of Fate will still appeal to fans of Adventure games and fans of the Runaway series (at least those who haven't already played this title), but it's control quirks and its lack of transparent gameplay makes it hard to recommend to those newer to the genre.

An Endless runner without jumping that ironically doesn't get off the ground thanks to problems with its swiping controls.

While nothing too deep, Nimble Quest is a lot of fun as its throwing RPG upgrade elements onto the game of Snake, which everyone should be all too familiar with.

Smash the Office will give you a laugh or three, then it quickly turns in to a light chuckle before you realize there's not much else to experience. If anything it makes for a fun piece of stress relief.

Definitely for younger players and Peanuts fans, this re-skin has enough charm to somewhat excuse its gameplay.

A slow paced game that at first is reminiscent of Chinese checkers, but is actually quite different. Whether playing the puzzle mode against the computer or a game against a friend, board game and puzzle fans will find value in this title.

It's Minecraft meets Tower Defense on the iOS. You're either gonna love it or loathe it.

As ridiculous as its name, Ridiculous Fishing is simple, fun, and should keep players happy until they've seen everything the game has to offer.

Fury of the Gods may be heavy on the wrath, but it quickly settles in to a seething rage, followed by a feeling of empty anger as you crush, zap, and summon over and over without a need to adapt to the challenge presented to you.

More of an experience than a game (containing challenges and goals), Melodive is an otherwise interesting trip worth taking.

A charming little shark orbit arcade experience that is a little more devious than it first appears.

While more content is promised for Grow Dammit! it'd be great if the game took the time to explore the mechanics it already has in play with more depth - playing with the light and shadow (as well as water trails) is fun, but it feels like it's holding back.

We could knit-pick Knitted Deer all day long, but while it may look like a groovy retro title, it feels like it should have spent a bit more time on the drawing board.

A very engaging, and enjoyable arcade flinger based on magnets, complete with impeccable presentation.

Cognition Episode 1 is an otherwise dark and engaging adventure game that's left feeling crippled thanks to a poorly optimized adaption.

If you're willing to forgive the combat for being completely stiff and graceless, there's still a bit of meat left on AVP: Evolution's bones, but not much.

A fun little gravity changing bite-sized platformer where some levels are designed better than others.
