    It's still well worth playing for those seeking a new narrative-based game with a fresh angle, but it feels like it's being held back by a dodgy engine component.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A surprisingly tough spatial puzzler that's just a little too awkward and unintuitive for its own good.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy II earns praise for its remastered visuals and updated gameplay, though it remains as off-putting as its original release.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A simple tappy game. It looks nice, and it'll take your mind off things, but there's not much else to it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Floppy controls mean this evolution is less of a successful mutation, more of a weird gangly third leg no one wanted.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's a unique take on a fast, twitchy, mobile arcade game but Miner Man isn't particularly deep.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It might look amazing, but there are too many little problems here to wholeheartedly recommend the game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It has its moments, but Super Heavy Sword is still a little too clunky and cumbersome for its own good.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A visually alluring spatial puzzler that doesn't quite control with enough precision.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Tough and unrelenting, Gleamer has its moments, but it's not quite the full package.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A clone of the PS2 version down to the last detail – except the one that actually matters.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Slack controls hamper an otherwise enjoyable and intelligent tweak on the Tetris template.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A good low-investment game whose experience is tarnished as you spend more time with it.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A by-the-numbers physics-puzzler, Cyto is well put-together, but never quite intriguing enough to wholeheartedly recommend.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Surgeon Simulator is hilarious, fresh, and oddly satisfying, but it's just a little to slap dash and shallow for its own good.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It’s an entertainingly enigmatic tale, but even in curtailed form, Syberia’s problems remain.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's not big, clever, or immediately thrilling, but Constructor Simulator 2014's real-world toy set is undeniably fun to operate - at least on iPad.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Unlikely to entertain anyone older than 14, this pint-sized port is a real disappointment.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Trenches: Generals adds multiplayer, but falls short of the original iPhone strategy game in terms of accessibility.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An occasionally interesting shooter, Abyss Attack is a little too flat to really recommend.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's a strange emptiness at the core of Re-Volt Classic, and while it's sometimes enjoyable, you never feel like you're having as much fun as you should be.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A safe and conversation mash-up that fails to meet the high standards of the best Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario games.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Bucketz Ride offers frantic, out-of-control entertainment which could prove to be too confusing for some players.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Poptile has a decent central idea, but it doesn't manage to expand on it enough to really hook you in.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Space Tripper attempts to resurrect the hard-as-nails coin-op blaster genre on the iPhone, but the tilt controls don't offer the degree of control required for such a uphill battle.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Combining a fishing simulation with online multiplayer and crazy mini-games, Big Fish sits uncomfortably in the genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A neatly packaged lite RPG that bounces along pretty well, just don't expect to lose hours with it.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A collection of sporting mini-games that, while initially entertaining, prove far too simple and lifeless.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    As is traditional for the franchise, it’s actually pretty tough once you get going, its cartoon-style good looks belying serious difficulty, even if it never quite manages to match the charm of the Puzzle Bobble games, which relied on a similar mechanic.
