Those playing will certainly find some decent moments, especially those of a younger persuasion - that is, if they can maintain their attention through all of those dialogue boxes.

Fairune's a very simple game, but for such a low price it's pretty hard to go wrong. It might not be all that long, but it's enjoyable from start to finish, which is a what we hope for in a download.

As an isolated product, however, this is a wonderful addition to the eShop; surreal, funny and huge value, it's definitely Guilty of being an excellent download.

Stay away from this miserable game and spend your hard-earned money and time elsewhere.

We suggest blindly picking any other title with the words “Harvest” and/or “Moon” in the title — chances are extremely high you’ll have a better time than you would with this heartland travesty.

GetClose is a ray of indie sunshine that displays remarkable ingenuity in both its aesthetic appearance and its simple gameplay. Its art style may lose a little bit of its lustre due to the blender-like speeds at which you're forced to battle, but that will soon be forgiven (and forgotten) thanks to an intuitive concept and ingenious no-frills use of the Wii U GamePad and Pro Controller.

Younger children could easily stomach the experience enough to put countless hours into the game and will enjoy the references to the movies. Anyone else, on the other hand, will struggle to maintain any real determination to play past the first few missions, and will instead find themselves grasping for the "eject" switch fairly early on.

Avoid like a Christmas plague.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a rare case of a game that feels truly designed — from the ground up — with the Wii U in mind.
