    Ski Safari 2 is fine, but we've definitely seen this mountain before.

    Beautiful and flawed in equal measure, Snailboy has its charms, but its slime trail can't be ignored.

    Money Heist: Ultimate Choice offers an intriguing narrative that's affected by your choices. However, the unchallenging mini-games and Netflix's choice not to release all chapters upon launch bring down what is otherwise a fun experience.

    With some retooling and rebalancing, Amber Halls could have a long future as a roguelike exemplar for folks that frequently find themselves stuck in queues.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A bright, breezy puzzle game that's sadly too short and lacking in variety to wholeheartedly recommend.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gorgeous art and music make Seashine well worth playing, but expensive upgrades, unnecessary time pressures, and a genre that's all wrong prevent it from being truly great.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An odd mixture of solid pinball and grim multi-choice adventure that probably won't fully satisfy fans of either.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Instead of setting its sights on liberty, the game should have perhaps concerned itself with offering a more engaging experience. Still, decent multiplayer and great graphics prevent this from being simply ordinary.

    Fans of classic point-and-click adventures will feel right at home here, but anyone else might find The Long Reach a little flat.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you're aching for more SRPG action from the makers of Disgaea then this is a solid choice, but an eye rollingly bland plot and ironically.

    Probably the most original and unique football sim to hit iPhone, Soccer Superstars sadly doesn't play quite as smoothly on the pitch, serving up an arcade take on the sport that feels a touch half baked.

    Bioshock is a marvel of intelligent storytelling, creepy atmosphere, and stunning world design. You get all that in this iOS port, but not without compromise.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    TwinBee is a fun little shooter, but rather quickly its lack of depth is exposed.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While you might scratch your head at some of the puzzles, Lost Toys is an odd mish-mash of ideas and themes that never quite gels together into an entertaining experience.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's a great game here, but it gets a little lost in translation.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Virtual City is an unfocused take on time management that explodes with variety to its own detriment.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Starlight Inception aims for the stars, but thanks to a barrage of issues, never really makes it past lift-off.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Perfectly playable, but gameplay and economic niggles make it far from essential.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An accessible and fun racing game that places you in the driver's seat as you build, customize, and race cars on the streets.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An interesting amalgam of tower defence and castle defence, Steampunk Tower seizes up a little with its monotonous mechanics.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There are moments here that are pretty solid, but Polar Bowler is built on foundations that melt down pretty quickly.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Impossible Line is a puzzle/memory game that should keep you entertained for a little while, but it won't make any lasting marks on your soul.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rusty Lake Paradise is strangely compelling, but its overly-weird setting lacks substance and makes puzzles quite confusing.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's certainly a challenge for Scrabble veterans, but with a lack of modes and a shortage of tension, W.E.L.D.E.R. struggles to stand out in a crowded genre of far better vocab games.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Sky Gamblers: Afterburner comes close to nailing the fundamentals of arcadey flight, but technical issues and weak audio design frequently plague the experience.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    simian.interface is a stylish and mildly interesting game that will appeal to avant-garde gamers but probably won't satisfy anybody looking for a substantial puzzle game experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    oO
    While oO may have a certain something, it misses that 'one more go' feel that so many twitch-based games emanate, leaving frustration in its wake.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Knockout visuals mask the fun, yet uninspired maze runner that is Geon.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An impossibly vast virtual train set that remains as ugly, daunting, and esoteric as ever in spite of a well constructed introduction to the basics.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It hits all the right notes, but Catch The Candy is a pretty average puzzler.
