    Drift City Mobile
    There's just so much wrong with Drift City Mobile that it's difficult to know how to write a pithy summation of its faults. Essentially you should (and will) quickly forget that this auto-racer ever existed.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Caroline's Working
    Luscious presentation and satisfying sounds do little to disguise an unimaginative and bland take on an already well-worn genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Clicker Heroes
    A simple tappy game. It looks nice, and it'll take your mind off things, but there's not much else to it.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Pac-Man 256: Endless Arcade Maze
    Gaming's roundest hero gets a second great game for his second wind. Very different from DX, and in many ways just as good. Get them both.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Sheeperzzz
    A shambly auto-runner that's just not that much fun.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Horizon Chase - World Tour
    A bright and brash arcade racer that looks stunning, and has the racing chops to back it up.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Mazecraft
    The kind of concept that should be winning a gold award. Instead, it’s too keen on getting you to buy gold, and its other shortcomings are many.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ready Cola!
    Though it soon turns flat, Ready Cola!'s initial flavour is just enough for it to be worth a try.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Blocky Raider
    A lightweight but enjoyable mixture, it's not ground breaking, but it's quite a lot of fun.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Path To Luma
    A pretty, beguiling casual puzzler that deserves to be fleshed out and expanded beyond its free advergame status.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
    A novel and entertaining blend of sandbox and strategy with a unique theme and a few unfortunate PC port flaws.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Blood Gate - Age of Alchemy
    A game of matching and murdering. It doesn't do much new, but it does enough that if you're a genre diehard it's worth a gander.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Avoid.
    It's hard to type and hard to play, but Avoid. rewards perseverance in the best way.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ball Jump (2015)
    Ball Jump might not have the most original idea behind it, but while it holds your interest you'll have a pretty good time.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Monsters Ate My Metropolis
    There's still something to Monsters Ate My Metropolis, but its different take on destruction isn't as immediate as its predecessor.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Baller Legends
    Baller Legends is a reasonably slick swipe-to-shoot arcade basketball game. It's a little one note, a little clunky, and a little poorly balanced at times, but it's still fun.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon
    A more expansive take on its six-year-old predecessor, Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon still feels admirably fresh and inventive in 2015.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Pac-Man Championship Edition DX
    A first-rate take on a classic, which plays well, looks and sounds great, and has tons of varied content.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Sling Kong
    The clever marriage of satisfying mechanics and exciting sound design, together with a free to play model as unobtrusive as you'll find, makes this a very enjoyable climb indeed.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Zombie's Got a Pogo
    A perfectly solid but ultimately disappointing tap-to-tilt arcade experience.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Score! Hero
    A neatly put together game of pass-and-don't-move, Score! Hero is a simple but engaging experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The Walking Pet
    There's a middling idea here, but it's not executed very well.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Loot & Legends
    A love letter to table top RPGs, Loot & Legends is endearing and engaging in equal measure.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Colossus Command
    With fundamentally broken combat and nothing new to bring to the table, Colossus Command is a boring and insipid retread of all that's come before it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Rockstars of Ooo - Adventure Time Rhythm Game
    A game that's a blast while it lasts, fans of the genre or the show will lap it up.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Paradise Bay
    Paradise Bay doesn't do much, but what it does do is going to be the perfect poison for a certain type of player.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Battle Golf
    The perfect golf game for people who don't really care for golf, but enjoy loopy one-thumb arcade battles.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Long Siege
    A nicely balanced and supremely well executed mix of match-three and casual tower-offence.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Rotatio
    A worthy attempt at trying something new in the hardcore screen-tappy sub-genre, Rotatio is nonetheless too awkward for its own good.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Dexter: Hidden Darkness
    A dull hidden object game that's somehow simultaneously bland and unpalatably garish.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fingers of Fury
    A stylishly well executed tap-based brawler with a rhythmic heart
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mechanosaur Hijacks the Moon
    A playable rotation-based endless game that isn't quite special or polished enough to shine.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Race the Sun
    A clever twist on the futuristic racer that changes itself regularly and rewards exploration and experimentation.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hatoful Boyfriend
    Hatoful Boyfriend is thoroughly recommended for fans of the genre, alongside anyone with a taste for the absurd looking for a new experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Angel Stone
    It might be what it looks like, but if you can get past that Angel Stone offers a lot of simple grindy fun.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Angry Birds 2
    Angry Birds is a constantly changing beast, but most of the changes here are for the better.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    OPERATION DRACULA
    Operation Dracula swaggers around like it owns the place, and it has every right to do so.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Warhammer: Arcane Magic
    Warhammer: Arcane Magic is a bright and engaging turn-based battler with some neat ideas and a slick Warhammer polish.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Swindle
    The Swindle is a charming caper simulator, with clever risk vs reward systems that push you into brilliant situations and stories.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Paper Train: Rush
    There's a solid endless runner here, but it doesn't offer anything you haven't seen before.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Stupid Zombies 3
    What starts off as a likeable and good looking physics puzzlers ends up a little disappointing.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Legions of Steel
    There's a decent tactics game here, but the interface is too clumsy and the idea too familiar to appeal beyond hardcore fans.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Adventure Time Puzzle Quest
    It's Adventure Time Puzzle Quest. I could just copy and paste that again here for emphasis.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Prune
    Prune is an awe-inspiring work of digital poetry that transcends its initial subject material to explore a much larger, much more complex theme, in an articulate and powerfully moving manner.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Galaxy Conquest II: Space Wars
    Badly put together, boring to play, and wholly derivative, you have played a dozen strategy management games that are twenty times more accomplished than Galaxy Conquest II: Space Wars.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    To-Fu Fury
    A fun, challenging puzzling platformer that works well on touchscreen.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition
    This remake will struggle to appeal to new players or nostalgics with its obtuse puzzles and budget presentation.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Mr. Umbrella
    A poor twist on the endless climber that somehow makes things even more simplistic and frustrating.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Cally's Caves 3
    A sharp and retro-edged platformer, Cally's Caves 3 is well worth a look.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Forest Home
    A run-of-the-mill puzzle game that could have been OK for kids had it not been buried under eighteen tons of IAP.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Deadliest Catch: Seas of Fury
    Deadliest Catch: Seas of Fury has one boring idea at its core, and then fails to ever make it interesting.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Impulse GP - Super Bike Racing
    There are some really great ideas here, but they get lost behind muddy graphics and unimaginative track design.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Trucksform
    There's some fun to be had here, but it doesn't last as long as you'd like.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Warhammer 40,000: Deathwatch - Tyranid Invasion
    A squelchy blast of gothic turn-based violence that ticks the right boxes for 40K fans, and offers enough for everyone else too.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Flown
    A competent if uninspired endless climber with pleasant tilty controls.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Kosmo
    A colourful endless climber with a control system that doesn't quite match the challenging level design.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This War of Mine
    A harrowing and often tragic exploration of life in a war. This is a must buy.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Space Spacy
    Charm and humour are mere veneer on this insanely tough arcade game, but it's oddly compelling and every point earned feels rewarding.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Splendor
    A good-looking and smooth playing adaptation of a cracking card game, but of limited interest without online play.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Escape (2015)
    A reasonably effective if derivative endless flier that instils a greater sense of progression than most.

    Down The Mountain
    A bright and entertaining little game that doesn't overstay its welcome.
    • 74 Metascore

    It has its troubles, but Nono Islands manages to overcome most of them pretty well.
    • 87 Metascore

    Don't Starve: Pocket Edition
    A brilliant and disturbing wilderness simulator that works almost perfectly on mobile.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Forever Lost: Episode 3
    Forever Lost goes out like it came in - a big batch of smartly made puzzles, but with a scrappy design that stops you getting completely engrossed.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Mesh
    A bright, clever, and premium puzzler that will keep your brain occupied for a good long while.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Magic Duels: Origins
    Shows its roots as a tabletop game, but also demonstrates what makes Magic the world's most popular collectible card game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Samurai Blitz
    An excellent endless runner with an irresistibly tactile slice and jump system.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Wormarium
    A fresh spin on the maze runner with tough, competitive angle that belies its cute exterior.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Heroki
    It might look amazing, but there are too many little problems here to wholeheartedly recommend the game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    G.I. Joe Strike
    Speedy gameplay in a slow, meandering package. Get Kung Fury instead for the exact same mechanics in a much more suitable set-up.

    My Brother is a Superhero
    A nice idea, but let down by uninspired execution.
    • 74 Metascore

    J-Stars Victory Vs+
    Too lightweight for fighting fans and too charmless for anime fans, it's hard to see this pleasing anybody.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Siegefall
    Siegefall is an attractive and structurally sound strategy management game, but if you want to uncover its tactical complexity you'll really have to work for it
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Executive
    A loud and brash touchscreen brawler with a surprising amount of depth and plenty to do.
    • tbd Metascore

    CivMiner - A CivCrafter Expansion
    A fine clicker, with a few new ideas, with a compulsive 'name that rock' element thrown in for good measure.
    • 81 Metascore

    Divide By Sheep
    Divide By Sheep is cheeky, difficult, and an awful lot of fun.
    • 77 Metascore

    LEGO Minifigures Online
    There's a lot here to like, and enough to love that you'll look past the occasional glitch and grumble.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Piloteer
    A bright and silly jetpack sim, Piloteer is a bit of an acquired taste, but once you get there, it's a lot of fun.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dragon Quest VI
    A flawed but essentially engaging glimpse into the past, Dragon Quest VI has just enough charm to see you through.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Space Platform
    An interesting first person platformer, but one that doesn't solve the inherent problems with the form, making for a frustrating an vaguely nauseating experience.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    LEGO Batman: Beyond Gotham
    Lego Batman: Beyond Gotham is another solid Batman game, but it's not much more than that.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Xeodrifter
    Xeodrifter isn't very inventive or creative, and unlocking bits of the map feels like busywork.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    SpikeDislike3
    The visuals might be a spike in the eyes, but this is a fun-packed one-thumb treat, with 150 varied challenges.

    Tales From Deep Space
    The first really good game from Amazon, Tales From Deep Space is an entertaining adventure.

    SBK15 - Official Mobile Game
    It misses a few beats, but SBK15 is an engaging bike racer all the same.

    Panzerkampf 3
    Should be a lesson to every company considering rethinking classic game ideas. We fear it probably won't be. In the meantime, just download it.

    Dragon Jump (2015)
    A few minor twists to the formula aren't quite enough to set this frustrating endless jumper apart.

    LASER! - Endless Laser Dodging Action
    Another perfectly adequate arcade hopper with nothing of substance to set it apart from its peers.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon
    Fun, accessible and gloriously evocative of the 40k universe, but far too obviously a PC original.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Her Story
    Her Story is a bold experiment in interactive storytelling, resulting in one of the best detective games ever made.
    • 66 Metascore

    Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy
    True dungeon crawling junkies may get a thrill out of the game, but if you’re not one of those people then this operation is best left to the professionals.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Swing Racers
    And it's a real shame, because Swing Racers could have been an awful lot of fun. As it stands, you might want to check if it makes you want to hurl before you give it a go.

    Garfield Chef
    You can do better.

    FireWhip
    FireWhip takes time and dedication to learn, but once you grasp it this is a sharp, compulsive little arcade blast.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Xenowerk
    A run and gun twin-stick shooter with a little more to it than most. Xenowerk has its problems, but it's worth a look all the same.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Lines the Game
    A sedate and soothing puzzler, Lines the Game doesn't offer much of a challenge, but that's not really the point.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Blades of Brim
    There is nothing much wrong with Blades of Brim, but there's nothing much to grab you and yell "PLAY ME!" either.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Drift Girls
    Drift Girls isn't going to be for everyone, but then again it probably doesn't want to be. If you like cars and anime babes, and aren't above a bit of lechery, you should probably go get it.
