The full beauty of Spiritfarer with all its management and social adventure fits neatly in your phone, just be prepared to do a lot of running back-and-forth. [Early Access Provisional Score = 90]- Pocket Gamer UK

Overall, Sheep Squad isn’t a game for me. It’s possible but those that play a lot of the game Worm might really enjoy it - especially with the adorable range of animals to play with and their cool weapons, however the UI being the way it is makes the game just too challenging and hard to understand for me. Also there are a lot of pop-ups.- Pocket Gamer UK

Micetopia plays like a game where the odds are unfairly stacked against you. It doesn't feel like you are a hero who is meant to be saving these villagers or even has a chance to really make it far without spending tons of time grinding and upgrading. Even then, some areas have checkpoints that are too spread out to feel fair.- Pocket Gamer UK

Slay the Beat has an interesting concept but doesn't offer enough content to keep you interested beyond a single playthrough. The soundtrack is limited to just a few songs, only a few types of enemies appear over the course of the game, and several recurring bugs make it hard to think of this as anything other than an extended tech demo.- Pocket Gamer UK

Despite hauntingly beautiful graphics, the core of Dark Odds leaves much to be desired. It's choices are often shallow and circuitous, and the inability to revisit previous scenes without replaying the entire game makes multiple playthroughs a chore.- Pocket Gamer UK

One Punch Man: Road to Hero 2.0 lacks any kind of imagination or inspiration. This was always meant to be a gacha cash-in featuring OPM characters, and it doesn't even do that well. This game exists to take your money, not entertain you, and you shouldn't even deign to download it.- Pocket Gamer UK
