The clever and progressively challenging rotating gameplay of Twisty Planets is its primary draw, and the reason to play it.

There are just so many other games of this variety where the gameplay is faster, and the characters less questionably designed (this always seems to be an issue with anime-inspired games), that it’s hard to give Phantom of the Kill a glowing recommendation.

SimplePhysics does what it ultimately set out to do, which is to make a physcis simulator that works and is easy to design for.

Getting to the end of stages intact after slowly and strategically working your way through the many traps is tense and terrific. Most of the time at least. Sadly this isn’t enough for us to recommend Spelunker HD Deluxe wholeheartedly. It’s just a little too old fashioned to be consistently enjoyable, despite its co-operative options and heaps of content.

There’s an endearing cheesy soap-opera charm to Five Dates that means you can’t take your eyes away from it. This certainly doesn’t mean it’s a game we recommend to everyone – but if you’re looking for a reasonably well presented dating sim you could do a lot worse, especially for its budget price.

Fear for Sale: Phantom Tide can be summarized as ordinary, but entertaining. The design sticks pretty close to casual adventure norms, never straying far from the expected amount or style of puzzles, hidden object scenes, and story details. Still, every game doesn’t have to be an innovator in order to be fun, and Fear for Sale definitely delivers on that front.

Though fairly fun when it comes to Survival mode, Clash of Puppets probably won't sate gamers looking for a deep experience. The lack of microtransactions is definitely a high point, and it's a wonderful introduction to the world of 3D platform titles for kids. But when it comes down to questions about why exactly everyone is a puppet and why objectives are so repetitive and limited, it's hard to justify picking this one up.

Achieving 3 star ratings and completing some of the later stages would be just about impossible for a younger audience, yet the mini-games are too few to really appeal to adults who are looking to get the best bang for their buck.

Angry Birds Stella is fun and its cast is charming, but it’s not as if it delivers a wildly innovative experience. What’s here has been done before. And again.

When the game works well, it works pretty well. But it's bogged down by a few lingering issues that sadly tarnish the overall experience. There needs to be a little more meat on these bones, because the few pieces here are enjoyable. There's just not enough of it.

There’s no denying that Fantastic Plastic Squad is a great-looking game, and the whole “toy” thing is pulled off really, really well. But it does get pretty tedious, and a I seriously cannot stand how it keeps downloading more and more content.

A decent and relatively funny freemium monster trainer. It certainly makes good use of some fantastic creature designs and more than a few memorable characters. The only problem is it tends to get in its own way half the time once monsters start to get hurt.

MoviePop is fun for a little while, but the repetitiveness and simplicity won't keep you bound to your seat for very long. If nothing else, it's a decent showcase of memorable movie moments.

Potential players should be aware that it's not exactly reinventing the wheel.

SCRABBLE Pics is an easy word puzzle game to get into, and it’s fun to play, but there’s no denying that it’s marred by the occasional questionable word-choice and a difficulty level that is lukewarm throughout.

Dead Z Meat is a very focused experience – with the single player campaign being the only mode on offer – but the issue is that it doesn’t focus on very much. If you’re looking for a solidly assembled lightgun style title on Switch you can do a lot worse than this, just don’t expect to be amazed.

Still, when it has you, Skyward is a charming, infectious game that never lets you down when you want some fleeting fun.

You’ll have to put up with banner ads at the bottom of the screen and constant encouragement to try Urara-Work’s other games, but neither of these overly detracts from the experience.

Sparkle 2 is a quickie, but a polished quickie. There's plenty to do and see if you've got the time to invest – especially if you're a fan of the genre. And even if you're not, it's cheap enough to try out. Give it a whirl and see if you don't get into the marble game.

Your enjoyment of the game only depends on two factors: how much you like match-3 games, and how much you like Adventure Time.

Feel free to mentally bump this grade up by a half-star or so if you’ve never played the previous games in the series or get a lot of use out of the companion app feature, but on its own, My NBA 2K17 feels like a lot more of the same.

Angry Birds Go! is a good game. It’s just not the great game it could have been.

Samurai Siege has a lot of competition, and its creativity in terms of setting and unit/building design definitely gives it a bit of an edge. The technical flaws cut that edge down in size, however, impairing your ability to sit down and become absorbed by the game. It's not unplayable by any means, but some errors are just too frustrating to overlook.

Even if its story isn't quite all there, Found: A Hidden Object Adventure still offers a fun blend of social and hidden object gameplay, with great visuals and intriguing locations. It's an exciting journey for adventurers of all ages, but one that puts too much emphasis on the "pay to play" model of a "free to play" game.

Askaryl's Grimoire may keep younger readers enthralled - and on that note, I think it could be a great way to introduce technology-obsessed youngsters to the joys of actually sitting back and reading something - but I suspect that more seasoned veterans of the genre will find it lacking.

RoboCop might be a great time-killer, but even its eerily addictive upgrade system can’t save it from the sheer mediocrity at play. Checking out the upcoming film might be something fun to do; playing the game, however, is not.

Turning up somewhat late to the party can't sap Drop the Chicken of the talent that's clearly been employed in its level design, but it will leave the coop it's housed in feeling a little too familiar for many.

Dream Dresses isn't a bad game, but it doesn't have the makings of a stand-out hit, either.
