    • tbd Metascore

    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Simultaneously arduous and irritatingly compelling, Leap Day is another one-thumb cracker from Nitrome.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fine looking revamp of a classic board game, but it's still too random for serious strategy gamers.
    • 75 Metascore

    Good run and gun fun in small doses, but it won't pull you away from more polished offerings in the genre.
    • tbd Metascore

    • 52 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's nothing wrong with it per se, and it's nice to see a mobile game that ties in with a triple-A title in a tangible way. And like I say, if you're into Battleborn then it's well worth having a crack.

    Grievances aside, Severed is loaded with ambition and is so slick, stylish, and damn pretty it'll melt your eyeballs.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A casual multiplayer gobbler. It has some spark, but it's pretty hard to pinpoint why.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fallen London will find a way to get under your skin with its compelling world but some odd technical and mechanical choices can break the immersion.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A sharp and enjoyable hack and slash platformer that's never any less than solid.
    • 75 Metascore

    A game that wears its influences on its sleeve, but that's about it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Spellspire chucks enough ideas at the word game to make it an entertaining diversion.

    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Aesthetically gorgeous, but narrowly misses brilliance by being a bit too brutal. Definitely worth a look though.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Pug's Quest has a nice layer of polish in top of some mechanics that we've seen quite a lot recently.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score

    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dash Masters is a solid endless runner, but that's pretty much the best and worst thing you can say about it.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    • 70 Critic Score

    A bright and refreshing puzzler with a deep dark side and a rabbit wearing a crown.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A great art style, rock-hard puzzles and great controls are let down by so-so platforming challenges and combat that feels perfunctory in comparison with the rest of the experience.

    • 90 Critic Score
    A colourful, charming and immensely playable puzzler that’s perfectly suited to the touchscreen.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    Disney Magic Kingdoms is the very worst of F2P, but with the fine polish and occassional quality of a premium release.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While it has some decent intentions, the LGBT trappings on Pridefest only go skin deep.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There are some really good ideas here, but it just takes far too long to get to them.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    • 60 Critic Score
    Dirac starts out brightly, but the further you get into it, the more you realise that it can't quite follow up that initial interest.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's a lot to like here, and the mix of slaughter and collection is going to appeal to many.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There are some neat ideas here, and Beat Stomper is fun, but it doesn't quite justify the investment it asks from you.
