Is This Seat Taken? is a challenging puzzler in which you must seat a group of characters while paying attention to their preferences.

Iffy free-to-play model aside, Ultimate Sackboy is merely a competent runner that could use a lot more variety to keep things interesting. It's a beautiful-looking game but lacks much substance to keep me coming back. With future seasons and updates planned, this might improve, but for now, it remains okay.

A compact roguelike RPG with an interesting conceit, Moon Hunters falls down a little with repetitive action and clunky execution.

A bit of good fun that's let down by its ambition for innovation. Still, it's worthwhile if you're a fan of the series, but it's probably best enjoyed with the 3D off.

Don't Fry The Frog is mildly entertaining, but there are better casual gaming experiences out there.

RRBBYY is barely a name for a game that's barely a game. It's a clever idea, stylishly presented, but it needs to go back into the development oven before it's ready to eat.

A reasonably entertaining take on the bullet-hell genre, Sela The Space Pirate doesn't quite have the polish or the poise to compete with the best.

A decent little arcade game with a few minor flaws, DOT Space Hero compensates for its weaknesses with charm and good looks.

Robo5's excellent presentation and challenging puzzles are undone by awkward and unresponsive controls.

One of the simplest games you're ever likely to play, Luminous strips casual iOS gaming back to its bare bones, but is tough to truly love as a result.

An all-out attack on the eyes, Assault Squadron is a slick shooter that's too short for its own good.

Mechanically the best of the series and a genuinely accomplished action-RPG in its own right, Dungeon Hunter 4 blows it with a ridiculously pushy IAP system

Devil May Cry 4 refrain is too basic to be anything more than mildly enjoyable, its lack of depth, excitement, and polish preventing the delivery of a more satisfying experience.

Hills of Glory: WWII is an entertaining tower defence romp, but it's too difficult without IAPs and too easy with them.

Gorgeous to look at but ultimately frustrating to play, Shadowgun: DeadZone needs a lot of work before it becomes the finished article.

Compared to some movie tie-ins it's a virtual masterpiece, compared to anything else though it's still only just above average.

There's definitely promise here, but Motley Blocks stumbles at the last hurdle.

Looking a whole lot better than it plays, OMG Pirates!'s Cartoon Network-esque visuals can't hide the fact that it's an uninspiring hack and slash game - entertaining for short periods but not worthy of much long-term attention.

The Wolf Among Us wraps up with a final series of pointless choices, boring fight scenes, and dissatisfying conclusions.

BackStab sails on restless oceans, thrown about by ropey controls and annoying bugs, but it remains a swashbuckling romp that will appeal to fans of Captain Jack Sparrow and his kin – if they can stay the course, that is.

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.

A reasonable conversion of the successful casual PC game, Diner Dash isn't sophisticated or filling enough to truly satisfy DS gourmands.

Simply put. League of Heroes is a very basic action-RPG with a few presentation issues, plus a whole lot of waiting around.

The nub of something very special, just not quite charming or well-realised enough to fulfill its potential.

A brave effort to bring vision training to the masses, Sight Training won't appeal to most and is undone by the blind spot of dullness.

While it's not without its merits, a clumsy control system and some badly thought-out levels mean Rocket Fox doesn't quite reach the heights it's aiming for.

Fun for a while, Gunpey just doesn't possess the deep gameplay required to be a classic puzzle game.

Super Arc Light skirts the edge of brilliance, but it misses the mark and stumbles into obscurity.

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.

A neat little distraction that should keep your fingers busy for a while.

DynamoKid Touch has neither the instant appeal of Canabalt nor the breadth of play of a full platformer to make it fully satisfying.

As puerile as its title suggest, Turd Birds gets by on its bright and breezy appeal and a severe case of mission diarrhoea.

Full marks for originality, but this unusual mixture of RPG and tycoon simulation doesn't quite have the killer ingredients to make it fly off the menu.

A fine concept marries dungeon crawling with Pipe Mania, but it's all too frustrating and fiddly for its own good.

A charming, easy-to-play Dungeon Keeper clone with features that include cooking up captured monsters in soups and stews to level up your party of characters. It's simple but lengthy fun for all ages, but falls short for its limited dungeon building and too much repetition.

A reasonably fun matching game that isn't quite tasty enough to justify spending the time or money necessary to get anywhere with it.

A simple, occasionally enjoyable hack 'n' slasher, Bloody Harry doesn't have the weight to keep you interested for long.

Off-putting, pseudo post-modern comedy nonsense aside, OEG is a slightly lacking shooter / platformer hybrid with wonderful aesthetic vision.

DROP'd is an attractive high score-chaser but ultimately lacks content outside of beating a scattering of figures.

This fantasy epic sets out to be a faithful copy of the 16-bit classics of old, but its poor English script and samey gameplay make it entirely forgettable to anyone but the most dedicated JRPG fan.

It has a decent central core, but Dandelions: Chain of Seeds doesn't quite join all of its parts together well enough to really shine.

Offers some intriguing open-ended gameplay, but is often foiled by weak controls and poor accessibility.

Dracula: The Path of the Dragon strikes a supreme style, but doesn't stake claim to the depth of gameplay and satisfaction to support such an ambitious setting.

About as hardcore as a whimpering puppy and a bit low on content to boot, but this breezy title makes for a decent enough casual game.

An incredibly rich and detailed experience, but the control requires far more finesse than a touchscreen offers, and the experience is often as frustrating as it is fun.

Poor writing, conventional action, and a general lack of polish conspire to make Gangstar: Miami Vindication an underwhelming game.

An amusing lampooning of modern game monetisation methods that actually enhances the ultra-fast, ultra-simple gameplay, and entertains through wry humour as much as engaging gameplay.

Despite its iintriguing take on match-three puzzle play, Puzzle Cosmos is just too hard to be enjoyable.

It doesn't reinvent the endless-runner genre, but it's a good, low-investment game perfect for those obsessed with chasing leaderboard scores.

Fun in small doses, Nutty Fluffies is a little too repetitive and shallow to offset the slightly cynical in-app purchase system at its core.

Inked is a unique puzzle game that’s at its best when you pause and marvel at the beautiful hand-drawn world around you. It’s not meant to be played through in a single sitting, as puzzles, while varied, do tend to get tiring after a long gaming streak. It’s best enjoyed a chapter or two at a time, though that’s not to say it’s not engaging, because reveling in the stirring musical score alone is already well worth your time.

It has its moments, but Attack on Titan 2 descends a little too quickly into repetition.
