All in all, Shellrazer provides one heck of an experience.

The complexity added to the gameplay is a much-needed change for the genre as well; it feels fresh and unique in a crowded space on iOS.

If you haven’t started playing The Wolf Among Us and you love a good whodunit, now is an excellent time to pick up the season pass.

It's gorgeous, controls well and offers a good solid challenge. I've played a lot of games that I'd consider a tempest in a teapot, but Storm in a Teacup isn't one of them. This one is a big deal.

Implosion might just be the best action game that fans of the hack-and-slash genre can find on modern mobile devices.

If players take to it, CSR Racing 2 could end up as the rare sequel that improves upon the original in every way. This ride may have taken its sweet old time being delivered, but now that it’s here, don’t be surprised if you have a hard time letting go of the wheel.

It's the kind of game that doesn't punish you for failing, and leaves you with a great feeling of accomplishment when beating levels, especially the harder ones. A fun treat.

Even though the market is full of physics puzzlers at the moment, iBlast Moki 2 manages to stand head-and-shoulders above its competition. It's incredibly clever and fun, and its stunning production values only add to the overall experience.

The first few times you play you’re not quite going to get the hang of the timing, or pay close enough attention to the damage you’ve taken and the risk that you’re in. But after a while things slot into place, and you suddenly realize you’re playing something special. Heck Deck still shouldn’t work. It shouldn’t be as much fun as it is, but here we are. These are crazy times indeed. Give it a download and find out for yourself how two completely opposite ideas can gel together to create something really special.

Great for both short bursts of play and longer sessions, Reckless Getaway is leaving all its competitors in the dust.

Pumped BMX 2 is a sharp, clean biking game.

If a complaint can be levelled at Feeding Time, it’d be that unlocking new stages takes a long time, and a lot of games. There’s no free to play-style energy system to contend with, however, so you can put in plenty of games.

It might be tempting to wave off Evac as nothing more than a simple Pacman clone that only features a visual facelift. But this is actually something pretty special, with deeper play mechanics than one might first expect, and some pretty stunning production values.

If you're a CCG fan looking for something with a little extra meat on the bone, this is definitely a game worth checking out.

Unlike the complicated still-lifes of hidden picture games or the sprawling environments of adventure games, the treasures of Vignettes lay concealed within the landscape of one typical household object. We must look around and into and over and through these ordinary, boring things to find something new. And that experience in itself is extraordinary.

If we gave subgrades for things like presentation and storytelling, Monument Valley 2 would get a perfect score and then some. It’s that good in those areas. It just falls a tad short of perfect in terms of an overall score because it is so short. Maybe the best way to sum it up is like this: as a work of art, it’s nearly unparalleled — but as a game, it’s just a bit less.

Jam-packed with levels of content to explore, The LEGO Movie Video Game delivers a faithful experience for fans of both the movie and previous LEGO games.

Scurvy Scallywags may not be a perfect voyage, but you should expect some rough waters when you travel with sea dogs. Raise a bottle of rum to Ron Gilbert, King of the Pirates.

Taken as a whole, though, Marble Duel is an interesting and unique match-three battle game. Few people play marbles traditionally anymore, but there’s still no resisting the glassy “click” of the game’s pieces colliding.

Many rope-based physics puzzlers have hit the App Store since the introduction of the original Cut the Rope, but Cut the Rope 2 demonstrates Om Nom is still the top monster.

Oh Death Road to Canada, how I’ve waited for this moment. How I’ve longed for getting digital facsimiles of myself and my friends killed as I clumsily try to make my way through your particular brand of zombie apocalypse. So you have a few flaws. I have several myself. What truly matters is that we can finally be together — and I can’t ever imagine a day where that won’t be the case again.

But for the attentive explorer, for the player who takes the game at their own pace and stops to smell the drum sticks, Adventures of Poco Eco will be a rare treat.

The annoying puzzles in Act 2 don’t negate this. And while we sometimes felt Act 2 was just a lightly modified Act 1, if you enjoyed the first half, there’s only more to love here. Unlike Shay, we don’t want to get off this ship. But, like Vella, we wouldn’t mind a few more explosions.

HoPiKo’s repetition is what helps you learn the ins and outs of every segment and level. That doesn’t mean things don’t get a little frustrating, though. But having to “Play it again, Sam” barely makes a dent on HoPiKo’s crimson finish. Try playing it at the start of your day. It’s like electric coffee.

Each day you survive brings with it new challenges, both in gameplay and narrative.

In the end, your Hackycat experience is entirely what you make it: whether you only have 10 minutes to kill, or several hours to spend building up your attributes and adopting every cat.

Rather than trying to make game experiences more cinematic, Telltale is trying to make cinematic experiences more like a game.

At launch, the promised network multiplayer mode was a no-show, and selecting that mode confusingly sends you back to the App Store to download the latest version of the game. There’s also no difference between the campaigns for each country, so buying them is really a matter of whether you want the different planes to fly.
