    Between the stupid and inconsistent design, absurdly short amount of content, and levels that end up frustrating for all the wrong reasons, this is not worth any degree of money at all.

    Underneath it all is a rhythm game that may not be as challenging as some of its famous console counterparts, but the ability to take it anywhere and play hassle-free more than makes up for this, and the game can get challenging in its own right—although this, like almost everything else in here, is entirely up to the player.

    That said, this latest classic revamp on the 3DS eShop is certainly a enjoyable and it's tremendously rewarding to finally overcome its challenges.

    For all its drawbacks in terms of relying on the gamer to actually put in the effort to enjoy the experience, Super Mario Maker is a fresh approach to the old 'RPG Maker' mould, taking the key elements that any 'build-a-game' title requires and then making sure that there are sufficient in-built goodies to give those less inclined to while away the hours making new content a sense of value for money.

    The real shame about Dragon Fantasy: The Volumes of Westeria is that it actually has some good ideas and is decently and competently made; it's just not the best written.

    Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson is a very competent brawler, with numerous refinements over its predecessor and a lot more content, making it the better game overall, by far.

    It doesn't do much wrong: it controls well, the music is nice enough, the visuals, while not impressive, do look clean. It gets the action going, yet it fails to capture the attention because it's too repetitive and not engaging enough.

    Wii U owners hungry for Metroid Prime's atmosphere or Monkey Island's puzzle solving really can't go wrong with this one.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    For those who love adventure games with a splash of action and platforming, it is definitely worth checking out. Likewise, fans of the original will be pleased to know that, other than the visuals getting an upgrade, the game itself remains identical to that of the PS2 version.

    With some polish, Factotum could have become a decent puzzle game.

    It's not clear whether Arc System Works was aiming for a 2D Batman: Arkham Asylum with swords and fell way short; if they were aiming for a straightforward beat 'em up and were distracted by the swords (since, evidently, any game with swords must contain a levelling system); or whether they pulled idea balls out of the manatee tank.

    Mercenaries Saga 2 is designed with fans of turn-based strategy games in mind. It doesn't push the genre to its limits or even offer anything particularly new, but it's a solid addition nonetheless.

    Karous: The Beast of Re:Eden is fun in small doses, at least until the extreme difficulty destroys what remained of the entertainment value.
    • 52 Metascore

    Kung Fu FIGHT! is a worthy little time waster that does not insult the intelligence of the customer and manages to actually deliver a solid product for a low price.

    Wind-Up Knight 2 is well above the competition of temple runners, but it doesn't pack the weight of a more standardised release.

    Endless Golf is probably one of the worst games to be released on a Nintendo console.

    Atlus doesn't reinvent the Etrian Odyssey wheel with 2 Untold, but it does build on what made the first release so much fun, without making any readily apparent sacrifices.

    3D Streets of Rage 2 on Nintendo 3DS eShop improves upon its roots in numerous ways - better combat, better performance, larger sprites.
    • 68 Metascore

    It clearly has its flaws, and pretty standout ones at that, and the overall atmosphere of the game is a bit too far into the cliché area of the JRPG genre, and yet, it has its moments where it shines.

    A delightful knitted theme makes Yoshi's Woolly World a true joy to play, as everything from Yoshi and his various abilities, to the landscapes and elemental hazards, is beautifully rendered.

    It has a lot going for it with its gorgeous aesthetics and authentic presentation. It even has a couch co-op mode, and the few times the game does have things to do in it, there is some legitimate involvement. Too bad these moments are too far apart, and the more vulgar qualities of Never Alone are the most apparent, such as the buggy AI, barren level design and lacking gameplay.

    Don't Crash should be skipped and is not even worth buying as a novelty so-bad-it's-good type game.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This is a very rough and slapped together product and if bought at the introductory lower price, it is at least fair.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Whilst it may not be as polished as most games on the system, it's definitely worth checking out for anyone craving some hack 'n slash action on their 3DS.

    The games are simple and fun to play for audiences of all ages and sizes, for fans of Jurassic Park or the LEGO games in general, LEGO Jurassic World is a must pick up.

    At its low price it comes highly recommended to people looking for a pure arcade experience on their console that is not pinball.

    While it is a ho-hum entry in the Zen Pinball oeuvre, this is still worth the low price, since the game is competent and isn't insulting. It is, however, unimaginative and kind of cheap considering the tie-in property it is attached to.

    Although slower-paced than the likes of After Burner, and less flashy at first glance, 3D Thunder Blade offers a more varied selection of environments and more visual details making the setting of the game more visually appealing, if not by the sensations it provides.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Minor issues aside, this is a great pick-up-and-play title for fans of shooters and even fast-paced action games in general.

    Its simple design and perfectly-balanced difficulty level mean that it's sure to resonate with players of all skill levels, and whether it's being chipped away at during morning commutes or digested in its entirety over a weekend, Qbby's tale shows that a minimalistic game can be just as satisfying as a triple-A title.
