    Grim Fandango Remastered fixes a lot of the flaws of the epic original, but reminds us why we never actually completed it in 1998.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance provides everything required for highly polished Star Wars experience, but there's not quite enough depth for a real Jedi adventure.

    Dark Guardians's challenging pace and lack of in-app purchases make it one of the more appealing endless-runners available.

    • 70 Critic Score
    A dazzling game that plays about half as well as it looks, but it does look absolutely incredible. If you can stomach installing a massive file like this, you’ll find plenty to enjoy.

    Chippy is a charming and addictive time-management game, but a few issues hold it back from being a must-have.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Good run and gun fun in small doses, but it won't pull you away from more polished offerings in the genre.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's a decent chunk of space-based action here, but it loses its shine perhaps a little too quickly.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Treasure Fetch - Adventure Time puts an interesting puzzle-like spin on the classic Snake formula, but it has its drawbacks.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There are some neat ideas here, but a lot of uphill slog as well.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Heroes & Legends is an awkward RPG set to fast-forward, but it works better than it probably should.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Slow-paced and full of wit and charm, Blue Toad Murder Files has found a comfortable, well-appointed new home on iOS
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Paladins is a worthy addition to the Switch, but it feels a bit soulless and shallow despite its breadth of heroes.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Gameloft's mobile imitation of World of Warcraft is an impressive technical and artistic feat, but there's still a bit more work to do before it reaches its full potential.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Initial perceptions of a rather clumsy Canabalt clone are wide of the mark, as Gravity Runner gradually blossoms into an addictive platform-puzzler.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    For fans of gacha games, Dragalia Lost is one of the best of the bunch. However, Dragalia Lost is still, at its core, more of the same.

    • 70 Critic Score
    More Glyph Quest quality with a new free-to-play model. It’s a great investment for folks thirsty for new Glyph Quest fun. If you’re opposed to IAPs, however, there’s not enough new here to really justify the cost.

    • 70 Critic Score
    A conventional collection of entertaining gamebook action, The Sagas of Fire*Wolf is a solid entry into the Tin Man canon.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A highly entertaining offering that'll absorb your free time in 90-second bursts and leave you wanting more. It's a shame, then, that it only has one main level to offer you.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Solid writing and interesting sci-fi worlds balance out Voyageur's repetitive late game issues.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A focused, thoroughly enjoyable - if somewhat shallow - take on the classic side-scrolling shooter.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A polished and well presented game, Super Stickman Golf 2 doesn't always get its angles right, but when it does it's an awful lot of fun.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good starting point for new players, and close to being a classic handheld Worms experience, Worms: Battle Islands also feels like a fifteen year old game with some new tweaks.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Those yearning for another Lego adventure would do well to invest in Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A competent, though not a convincing enough re-release without online multiplayer and a wider slate of control options to bring a new generation into the flock of Doom faithful.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not perfect, but Urban Trial Freestyle is tight enough most of the time to be worth a look.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A stripped-back, unassuming old skool turn-based strategy game that's been sensibly honed for iOS.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Teenage Zombies is a refreshingly irreverent and playable platform romp that is only slightly sullied by some unfortunate repetition and an overall lack of challenge.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though Mr. Crab is a clever and entertaining platformer, there's nothing fresh about it. It's still worth some attention, mind.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not quite up there with the best iOS has to offer, but Kung Fu Rabbit's still a fun, frisky little platformer with plenty of appeal.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Phoenix boasts impressive artwork, smooth animation, and addictive action which are devalued by the absence of strategy and depth.
