    Dragon Quest Smash/Grow
    Dragon Quest Smash/Grow is a worthy idle RPG with some engaging elements. But its initial promise of exciting Survivors-like action quickly falls apart. However, if you approach it from the perspective of it being a regular growth-focused casual RPG with plenty of more hardcore elements, you'll have fun. And both the visuals and audio have that familiar, nostalgia-infused Dragon Quest flavour.

    HYKE: Northern Light(s)
    Hyke: Northern Lights is an engaging 2D RPG about a witch searching for her mother. While gameplay can feel repetitive at times, the visually stunning environments and the ability to switch between 7 distinct witches make this little RPG one worth exploring.

    KASSO GAIDEN: Escape from the Skaterverse
    Kasso Gaiden doesn't feel like it is unique enough to stand out, but it's an interesting little game. I do wish the sound effects were mutable, as they sort of take away from the experience.

    RAGE
    A feast for the eyes, RAGE doesn't make the most of its fun arcade action as it's missing some standard features.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Quantum Legacy
    A beautiful on-rails shooter that delivers furious deep space combat on a presentational front. Sadly, its grasp for strategic action doesn't quite work and those underlying mechanics simply can't support its repetitive framework.

    Payback2
    In spite of its lack of coherency, Payback 2 HD is still an immensely entertaining experience.
    • 68 Metascore

    Ninja Throw
    A solid puzzler which is occasionally hampered by control issues and an over-reliance on trial and error gameplay.

    Monkey Island Tales 5
    Tales 5 might not have the strongest puzzles, but it manages to close the story with humour and drama. It means this entire series will go down in Monkey Island history, performance issues aside.

    Monkey Island Tales 4
    Darker and grittier than its cheery predecessors, but sets up the right tone for the finale. It continues the tradition of sharp dialogue and puzzles, but also shoddy performance.

    Monkey Island Tales 2
    Spinner Cay is certainly the weakest instalment in the Tales series, but still holds its own with a good few hours of top jokes and puzzles. Horrible performance issues rear their ugly head too often for a strong recommendation.

    Monkey Island Tales 1
    Monkey Island fans can breathe a sigh of relief - Monkey Island Tales 1 HD is a confident continuation of the franchise with unfortunately ropey controls.

    Hamlet or the Last Game without MMORPG Features, Shaders and Product Placement
    One of the oddest games you'll ever come across, Hamlet replicates the adventure gaming formula of yesteryear with obtuse puzzles that makes for a annoyingly difficult gameplay.

    Forever Lost: Episode 1
    A bizarre and intriguing blend of ideas and styles, Forever Lost doesn't always manage to pull off its ambitious plans, but when it does it's pretty special.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Farm Frenzy 3
    A tough mixture of time management and puzzle, Farm Frenzy 3 HD doesn't push the series significantly forward, but it's still good fun.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Eufloria
    Hardcore strategists will be disappointed by the lack of challenge, but casual players may warm to Eufloria HD's tranquil approach to commanding and conquering.

    Arknights: Endfield
    Arknight Endfield is a sci-fi RPG with engaging combat, gorgeous graphics, and a vast map to explore.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Empire Builder: Ancient Egypt
    A little too easy and restricted in terms of solutions, Empire Builders: Ancient Egypt is a perfectly playable economic strategy game, but lacks the character of the Build-a-Lot series.

    Cubetastic
    Cubetastic offers challenging puzzle play that's enjoyable despite a wildly oscillating difficulty.

    Chicken Balls
    Too random to be an Angry Birds killer, polish and original ideas help at least make Chicken Balls HD a contender.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Build-a-lot 4: Power Source
    If the last Build-a-lot 3 was feeling a little tired, then Build-a-lot 4 - arriving only a month later - risks popping its own property bubble.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Blosics
    Blosics physics-based puzzles seem like mindless experiments rather than stages with set goals.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rocket Riot
    Shame about the loss of multiplayer, but for solo gamers Rocket Riot is a real blast - in bite-sized portions, at least.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Rope Rescue
    Rope Rescue HD is an average Angry Birds-style game with few new wrinkles.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Stand O'Food 3
    Stand O'Food 3 HD is an interesting, funny take on running a fast food joints.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The War of Eustrath
    A dull introduction and occasional unfair difficulty spikes aren't enough to run The War of Eustrath HD, particularly in light of its interesting battle mechanics.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Tiny Bang Story
    With challenges layered for longevity, The Tiny Bang Story HD is sadly undermined by an unwillingness to keep its players on the same page, with its hidden object hunt only coming together in fits and starts.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Angry Birds: Seasons
    A hauntingly good extension of the original, Angry Birds Halloween delivers more of the same entertaining physics puzzle play.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Westward 2
    A deep and far more complex city builder than the norm on the platform, Westward 2's horrible controls mean few will survive the voyage.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Airport City
    Airport City HD is a freemium management game that offers a decent amount of initial fun for your in-app purchases, but a few bottlenecks and imbalances hold up the traffic somewhat.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A.I.R Defense
    Mixing line-drawing with tower defence, A.I.R Defense is an interesting, if unbalanced experiement.
