    Gangstar New Orleans: Online Open World Game
    Like all free-to-play games in this general genre, there are oodles of in-app purchases on offer that can help you progress faster and give you something to brag about to other players through the game’s world chat option (which feels more than a little outdated in 2017). Some of the purchases come with a hefty price tag so you’ll probably want to avoid browsing the store while exhausted. At least with this one you probably won’t have to worry about the little folks in your life racking up big bills – Gangstar New Orleans is very much for adults only.

    Assassin's Creed Memories
    It lacks the substance and staying power of other mobile games in the series like Assassin’s Creed Pirates, but it’s an experiment that works well and does better than one might expect.

    Pacific Rim
    Big robots beating the mess out of big monsters... if there isn't much more to the movie than that, and you don't mind much more to Pacific Rim the game, either, then this might be for you. But if you want something that you can put a little more of yourself into, then you might want to just keep on looking.

    Might & Magic Heroes: Era of Chaos
    If you originally played Heroes of Might & Magic III back in the day we even more strongly urge you to ignore this. It bares very little resemblance to the original and feels quite insulting to fans. Skip this one and hope that a proper new mainline entry arrives on PC at some point, as Ubisoft has much better form on that platform.

    Family Guy: The Quest for Stuffapes The Simpsons: Tapped Out without quite understanding why the latter has remained a hit. Some Family Guy fans may consider a temporary move to Quahog, but chances are good they'll go back home to Springfield before long.

    Return to Castlerama
    While a few of the later environments are nice to explore, the bafflingly bad controls will dissuade you from even wanting to, and the lack of any clear direction or purpose as an adventure game makes Return to Castlerama better rolled up in another scroll and left somewhere where no one is going to read it.

    Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery
    It might not go down as the best Harry Potter video game ever, but it offers some stretches of fun that you won’t find anywhere else, and the guess here is that Jam City will be dreaming up more to throw into its world for some time to come.

    Telekinesis Kyle
    Telekinesis Kyle is too clunky, too short, and too unfinished in so many ways, that I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw our titular hero trading in the mind control for some other more interesting super power later on down the road.

    Pokemon Rumble Rush
    Not only is it dull, repetitive, and mind-numbingly easy but it’s clearly not even finished. Everything about it just screams “placeholder”. The low-res forest background, the not at all cute Pokémon design, and the awful PS1 era 3D visuals. It looks like a developer made a proof of concept for a Pokémon game.

    The Croods
    Ultimately, The Croods is a slow, mediocre game that doesn’t require you to do much beyond tap the screen on occasion. Only the littlest fans of the movie will get anything out of it—and you might want to turn off in-app purchases before you let them get too far.

    Scarface

    NFL Pro 2013
    You could do worse than NFL Pro 2013, and if it had the field all to itself the way Madden does in the console market, it would probably be downloaded by just about every football fan with a mobile device. But since it does have competition, gamers are going to want to shop around before deciding if this is the way they want to get their daily dose of pigskin.

    Tales of Phantasia
    Worst of all, Tales of Phantasia deserves so much better. Fans mention its name in the same breath as legendary RPGs like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI for a reason. But as long as the West only has this mobile mess as a modern reference, we'll never fully comprehend that reason.

    RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile
    RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 Mobile does little to earn its name, or its price tag. Sad as it is to say, it's almost indistinguishable from any other free-to-play building game. Atari is obviously hoping to sell the game on its name alone. For that, somebody in charge needs to be forced to ride on the last car of a wooden roller coaster for a year straight. No bathroom breaks.

    Final Fantasy: All the Bravest
    Final Fantasy: All the Bravest is a game that only longtime fans could love, and only because it's a sprite and music dump of past titles. At the same time, it's a slap in the face of those fans with its shameless in-app purchases.

    CLUE: Secrets & Spies - A Hidden Object Game
    Clue: Secrets & Spies has a reasonable amount of stuff going for it, but it's inconsistent in the final execution. It's not bad, but it isn't as fun as it should be, and it stops being interesting if it's played for more than a few episodes in one sitting.

    While it's not terribly original, Fantastic Fish does what it does better than almost any other oceanic social game to date.

Definitely one worth reeling in.

    The Bachelor: The Videogame
    Releases like The Bachelor are what give licensed games a bad name. It feels like what it is, a cash-in looking to take money from fans of the show, giving them nothing more than a lackluster experience in exchange.

    Time Geeks: Cloneggs
    Without the crazy awesome pop culture references, smart QR code implementation, and intentionally (and brilliantly) confusing character design, Cloneggs might just have been another ho-hum twist on matching games. Thankfully Cloneggs has all of those things, making it a delightful little matcher with just enough going on to put a smile on any nerds face.

    Dream Skate
    One of those games that is, in a word, great. It's simple, Easy to play, yet challenging enough to hold players' interests. Not only that, but it's just fun and charming. Developer Fugazo has crafted a real gem here, and they should be immensely proud of it.
