    A fun, if occasionally frustrating mix of genres and ideas, Naughty Kitties is worth a play just to see how well it blends them all together.

    Beautiful to look at and fun to play, Blade Lords offers straightforward one-on-one fighting action but relies too much on in-app purchases to keep things ticking over.

    An action-packed, well-written campaign carries Battlefield: Bad Company 2 past shallow multiplayer and general control issues.

    Pac-Chomp! may be a little light on content, but it's still one of the more interesting match-three games available on iPhone.

    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity is a great dungeon-crawler for kids, but the older generations will find it too watered down.
    • 86 Metascore

    Pumped full of character and charm, Feed Me Oil is a little too tight in practice, but nonetheless delivers an intriguing physics puzzler that bodes well for a sequel or two.

    Devilishly playable and packed with action, Alien Space long-term appeal is limited in terms of variety.

    A short, sharp burst of arcade fun, Accidental Spelunking isn't the best looking game in the world, but it is an awful lot of fun.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A realistic simulation of the sport that offers up an enjoyable boxing experience, and is only let down by lacklustre training modes and touchscreen controls.

    While not completely free of the flaws it highlights in other role-playing games, Fara's tongue-in-cheek humour cannot fail to evoke a smile from even the most stony-faced RPG player.

    Drei is a clever take on an old formula - assuming you can find someone to play it with, that is.

    Only minor improvements, but if you missed Age of Zombies the first time, this update is great fun in small doses.

    Despite the reliance on cardboard and other stale tropes, The Adorables is as fun as it is challenging.

    While sticklers might argue that Magic Made Fun isn't really a game, there's plenty of enjoyment to be had in mastering its array of unique and sometimes ingenious tricks.

    Broken, silly, and a little bit marvellous, Backflip Madness does exactly what its name suggests.
    • 71 Metascore

    A quicker, more hectic on-rails shooter than the original, Top Gun 2 just can't shake the annoying boss battles and hard to see enemy fire from its tailpipe.

    Three-point turn failure in real life? Validate yourself with this clever, oddly gripping touchscreen parking sim. Just don't expect it to get you through HGV driver test.

    FIFA 18 on Nintendo Switch is the most competent handheld offering of the sport to date, though there's no escaping the fact it's a lesser product than its PS4 and Xbox One counterparts.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Not enough Assassin's Creed to appeal to a big new audience, and not different enough in its gameplay to tempt card battler fans away from their current fixes, Assassin's Creed Memories is a disappointment.

    A thick and enjoyable auto-runner. It might have a few niggles, but it's still a lot of fun.
    • 72 Metascore

    Joust Legend does get a tad repetitive, but the crunchy combat is entertaining enough to make the game worthy of a purchase.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Small and satisfying - just as any good treat should be - Snack Match is a brilliant bit of bite-sized gaming, let down by a lack of imagination in its gameplay systems and slow load times.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A perfectly playable endless runner, Sonic Dash is entertaining enough, but highlights how far the series has come since its glory days.

    Paradise Bay doesn't do much, but what it does do is going to be the perfect poison for a certain type of player.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Resident Evil Revelations 2 may be a cut-down port, but if you can forgive its rough edges you're in for a treat.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A subtle reinvention of the Flappy Bird-like impossible flyer, 8bit Doves relies on charm and interesting controls to drag you through its simple gameplay.

    • 70 Critic Score
    A big silly shooter with lots of zombies to plough through, Dead Effect is far from a classic. But it is brainless fun.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good-looking, deep and engaging package that should be in any self-respecting gamer's collection, save for the fact that many who lack the skill, talent and time to succeed in it won't be able to access at least half of what's on offer.

    Amazing Katamari Damacy might not be the full KD experience, but it's still a slick and engaging mobile version.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Sexy Brutale is an immensely enjoyable game and it's easy to understand how it's received such high praise on other platforms. Sadly, the Switch port isn't the best. It suffers from mild audio and major performance issues that a person with lesser patience would find it hard to get through, and that's a real shame.
