Pokémon Café Mix is a cute puzzle game with an even cuter art style, but that adorable aesthetic can’t mask a simple, but tiring puzzler. There’s nothing wrong with this game, and it’s worth a shot, but it’s not likely to keep you playing for more than a day or two.

Deadly Premonition 2's is a game built exclusively for fans of the original, and even they will be put off by the endless bugs, horrible performance, and questionable design.

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.

A compelling story and exceptional soundtrack which is held back only by the frequent flaws of the game type and a shortage of innovative in-game mechanics.

Fans of CRPGs will discover a lot to love in Atom RPG and might even find some of its lesser flaws - like occasionally wonky writing - to be endearing. For those who usually avoid the genre, however, it certainly isn't going to change their mind.

Oceanhorn 2 is a stew of old ideas and nostalgia granted new life on mobile; a technical showcase though it may be, this well-intentioned love letter to all things Zelda remains overly enamoured with its biggest inspiration.

If Found... paints a full and vibrant picture of a young woman at a pivotal point in her life, fit with the devastating lows and ethereal highs that give it balance and make Kasio's story essential and illuminating.

Monetization really does stand out as being greedy and egregious, but it can't mask what is an otherwise fun adaptation of the Mario Kart formula on mobile.

With a few extra features Telling Lies, the game, would be perfect. As a narrative experience experiment it is, however, utterly unmatched and deserves to be talked about for years.

Hamsterdam achieves something that very few games manage to; Its densely packed action and animation make it almost impossible to put the game down, even if it becomes incredibly obvious early on that you are watching the same animations and performing the same actions over and over.

Irony Curtain is a competent successor to the point-and-click adventure games of yore, provided you can bear its finicky gameplay and tepid satire.

World End Syndrome is an absolutely gorgeous visual novel, let down by a few gameplay ideas that simply don't work.

Super Neptunia RPG isn't very good. Play SteamWorld Quest for a decent 2D RPG, or Octopath Traveller. Just don't bother with this.

Selma and the Wisp is boring, poorly-designed, and no fun at all to play, but it is at least quite short.

Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa is going to appeal to a very niche audience, but if you fit into that category, you're probably going to have a good time here.

Word Forward is an extremely accessible word game with a compelling twist to the word-jumble format.

A wealth of clever tweaks to a well-worn formula fills Shards with strategy and fun, although solo play is limited.

Puyo Puyo Champions is a fun, cheap entry into the world of Puyo Puyo, but don't expect to be playing it for very long.

Golf Blitz isn't just a great golf game, it's a great mobile game full stop.

Steam World Quest isn't a perfect RPG, but it's a damn good one. If you want some bitesized, simple card battling mechanics on the go, this is an excellent choice.

The VideoKid is a mostly safe play on Paperboy that excels when going wild with its garish visuals and legally-questionable references.

There might not be the depth of a real PGA game here, or the wackyness of the other end of the golf game spectrum, but as a mobile dive-in-and-out experience it's pretty much spot on. Pick it up and you'll see what I mean.

OCO is a remarkably tasteful and calming puzzle-platformer with a beguiling audio element.

Mechstermination Force feels like Cuphead meets Shadow of the Colossus, and it's absolutely worth your time.

Rolando: Royal Edition is an entertaining platformer, but even with the extra polish it's showing its age.

Claybook is gorgeous and playful, but its core gameplay focus simply isn't compelling.

RICO serves up fantastic doses of frantic action, and co-op play compensates for its limited formula.

Immortal Rogue is fantastic - it's got some problems, for sure, but you should still pick it up at your earliest convenience.

It has a few flaws, but for the most part Linn: Path of Orchards is one of the most intriguing platformers we've played in a while.

Sky Gamblers: Afterburner comes close to nailing the fundamentals of arcadey flight, but technical issues and weak audio design frequently plague the experience.

City of Brass has a great whip, but the rest of the game could do with some polish.

A loving tribute to Advance Wars that's generous with its time and skillful with its execution.

A crisp, clean, and surprisingly educational hybrid of music tuition app and word game that's perhaps a tad too simplistic.

Pikuniku is a seemingly simple game packed full of clever ideas and smart design. It does a lot with very little, and makes for a delightful puzzle-platformer in doing so. It's single-player mode can feel a bit meandering and frustrating at times as you struggle to make any meaningful progress, and its co-op is brilliant but just a little too short. But despite all this, it's a game that platformer fans simply must play. It's sheer brilliance wrapped in a silly, cute package, and it's by far one of the smartest platformers on Switch to date.

A simple, colourful, and undeniably appealing action RPG that's lifted considerably by the sheer appeal of the source material.

Yes, it's bloody weird, and yes, you're getting a little less bang for your buck, but honestly, stripping back the original game so much has made for a much better experience. Now get out there and dance.

How well this will scale over the coming weeks and months is hard to predict, of course. But in its initial incarnation, Fleet Command that most rare of games: a deep mobile MMOG that combines its licence, metagame and gameplay in a thoroughly enjoyable and engaging manner.

Horizon Chase Turbo is a game of few fresh ideas that nevertheless remains compelling as an often electric arcade racing bonanza.

Crimson Keep's knock-about brand of roguelike ARPG proves fundamentally flawed, with clumsy combat, repetitive levels, and a clunky core menu system.

Cattails is cute. The art style is nice. The music is nice. I just don't want to play it ever again. My initial excitement about playing after simple RPGs like Cat Quest and pixel art games like Stardew Valley was basically crushed by a mediocre game. In fact, instead of this, just play one of the other games I just mentioned.

GRIP: Combat Racing is a decent racing game that can get a little too wild at times.

Nidhogg 2 is a game of ethereal highs and thudding lows, and those sporadic bursts of joy are best experienced with a friend by your side.

While Hexanome is mechanically sound and technically tight, it remains a curiously distant and uninvolving puzzler.

Trailblazers is a great idea poorly executed, thanks to wonky controls and no real sense of achievement.

A finely honed, deeply stylish 2D platformer that streamlines without dumbing down.

Pokemon: Let's Go! has a lot of offer on the whole. It's family friendly and makes it easy to pick up with a pal, meaning that parents can jump on to help out their kids and leave when needed. It's also brimming with charm, character, and animations that you can't help smiling at. I've got no doubt you'll enjoy the game if you pick it up, but how long for depends on how much you loved the classic era of the Pokemon franchise.

Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee! is a simple game with a deep combat system which everyone can enjoy.

Cat Lady is a bright and smart card game that doesn't take forever to play. That means it lacks the depth of the big boys, but it also means that you don't have to learn that much to get to grips with it. For a couple of quid it's a really good addition to any digital board game player's library. You won't play it much once the initial thrill has worn off, but having it ready to whip out when you've got some friends round makes it an easy recommendation.

It might be gross, it might be controversial, but Spitkiss is also a really awesome platformer.

Put simply, Into the Dark: Narakan is one of the best mobile roguelikes we've played in a long time.

There's some really solid fun to be had here, but you need to get used to how the game plays first.

RWBY: Amity Arena isn't a bad Clash Royale-a-like, but there are so many better mobile MOBAs out there it might as well be.

One of the best MMOs comes to mobile with most of its charm and playability intact.

A perfectly-sized, well thought out roguelike that's got a lot more to it than meets the eye.

My Hero One's Justice will keep you entertained for hours, but it is by no means an essential anime fighter.

Windjammers is one of the finest co-op games in any genre, and it remains as essential now as it was back in 1994.

A wonderfully violent and perfectly challenging shooter.

Candies n' Curses is a perfect example of meshing together the old and the new. It's as old a concept as any we've seen recently on mobile, but it's presented in the most modern ways. If this was an arcade game from the era it's aping, then it'd be a hundred times harder, and less fun. Instead you get a game that's all about the balance. The balance between failure and success, retro and modern, control and madness. And where it matters, it gets each of those balancing acts just right.

Euclidean Skies is really good. It could have been great, but don't let that put you off.
