    A thoughtful examination of press censorship and its repercussions, it might not hit all the right notes, but it's still well worth a play.

    No-frills action makes Warriors Orochi a decent portable experience, especially with co-op multiplayer and the promise of hours and hours of enjoyable - if similar - gameplay.

    While the lack of official licensing continues to dent the mainstream appeal of Gameloft's soccer series, this is a solid update and the intelligent inclusion of touchscreen control is genuinely engaging.

    'In Harm's Way' is something of a come down after the magnificent 'A House Divided', but if you've followed the story thus far you're almost certainly going to play it anyway and your disappointment will be mild at worst.

    How We Know We're Alive is an hour-long narrative journey that tells the story of two estranged best friends with a melancholy mood. The visuals and soundtrack are superb, and while it's not the most gameplay-heavy game out there, it's indeed a powerful reminder of, as the title suggests, how we know we're alive.

    Star Wars: Galactic Defense is a vanilla tower defence game that just so happens to include characters and vehicles from a cherished franchise.

    Want a harder version of Clash of Clans? With super-quick load times and clever social elements? Battle Command! is for you, then.

    Serialised horror stories and serious fitness come together in a way that few would think possible in this oddball fitness app.

    Boulder Dash-XL 3D iterates wonderfully on the 80s original, but refuses to ever ramp the excitement levels up to the max.

    Fastar! is a clever distillation of the role-playing form, even if it lacks the variety or dynamism of other quick-hit adventures.

    • 70 Critic Score
    A sublime mixture of stunning visuals, deep combat and unique plot make it easier to forgive Wild Frontier for the occasionally samey nature of the quests and the existence of exploitative in-app purchases.

    Fun, simple, and possibly a little bit throwaway, however, CiRCA6's basic charms mean it's always good for a quick blast.

    Might not please established Wolfenstein fans, but Youngblood is still a great shooter on Switch.

    Pocket RPG isn't a sophisticated role-playing game, but if you want to sink time into a good-looking dungeon crawler, then strap on your armour.

    This pint-sized racer is so playable and packed with fan-service that Sega fans will want to hop on board as soon as possible - but it doesn't quite match Mario Kart when it comes to raw enjoyment and multiplayer brilliance.

    A slick port of a proven formula. Michael Jackson fans, of which there are many, will find much to enjoy.

    Rote but decent mini-games are married to impeccable presentation and an adorable lead to create something quite special.

    A fun, engaging matching puzzler that isn't quite as complex or smart as it first seems.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Prime World: Defenders is tower defence-meets-card collecting. And while there's plenty of meat on the bones, some irksome issues take the shine off things slightly.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Supermarket Mania is a little tedious at first, but casual players will enjoy the fast-paced action on offer.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A sequel most remarkable for its far richer visuals, but Mr. Crab 2 remains a pleasant auto-runner with a twist.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Blast Ball's joyously kinetic gameplay and simple premise make it instantly gratifying, but the occasionally annoying controls and lack of depth count against it.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It has its troubles, but Nono Islands manages to overcome most of them pretty well.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A big silly game full of repetitive combat and simple missions, Assassin's Creed Pirates somehow still manages to be fun.

    It's sharp, it's cruel, and if you're a fan of ROME: Total War, you're going to absolutely love it.

    A bright and entertaining little game that doesn't overstay its welcome.
