    Devil May Cry 4 refrain is too basic to be anything more than mildly enjoyable, its lack of depth, excitement, and polish preventing the delivery of a more satisfying experience.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Hills of Glory: WWII is an entertaining tower defence romp, but it's too difficult without IAPs and too easy with them.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gorgeous to look at but ultimately frustrating to play, Shadowgun: DeadZone needs a lot of work before it becomes the finished article.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Compared to some movie tie-ins it's a virtual masterpiece, compared to anything else though it's still only just above average.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's definitely promise here, but Motley Blocks stumbles at the last hurdle.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Looking a whole lot better than it plays, OMG Pirates!'s Cartoon Network-esque visuals can't hide the fact that it's an uninspiring hack and slash game - entertaining for short periods but not worthy of much long-term attention.

    • 60 Critic Score
    The Wolf Among Us wraps up with a final series of pointless choices, boring fight scenes, and dissatisfying conclusions.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    BackStab sails on restless oceans, thrown about by ropey controls and annoying bugs, but it remains a swashbuckling romp that will appeal to fans of Captain Jack Sparrow and his kin – if they can stay the course, that is.

    If the last Build-a-lot 3 was feeling a little tired, then Build-a-lot 4 - arriving only a month later - risks popping its own property bubble.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A reasonable conversion of the successful casual PC game, Diner Dash isn't sophisticated or filling enough to truly satisfy DS gourmands.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Simply put. League of Heroes is a very basic action-RPG with a few presentation issues, plus a whole lot of waiting around.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Metal Torrent has the makings of a fantastic space shooter, but is severely let down by a lack of content.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    SUP has some fun ideas, but unless you like to do some serious grinding to achieve anything, you might find yourself getting bored pretty quickly.
    • 76 Metascore

    As colourful and solid a match-three puzzler as it is, Swap This! doesn't have the outstanding features necessary to make it stand out from the rest.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Colorbs isn't a bad match-three game, but neither does it stick out from the vast number of entries in the genre.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Phantom Rift has a sharp, fast, and strategic battle system. But there's not much else to keep you entertained between brawls.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Battle Slimes is an interesting multiplayer distraction, but it isn't particularly complex.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A short sharp burst of reasonably entertaining twitch gaming, Audital is definitely worth a look.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Netflix San Andreas is an okay port of a great game. While it shines in the graphics department, the poor controls bring the game down.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Relativity Wars struggles to find the right balance of difficulty from start to finish and comes off as merely decent.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The nub of something very special, just not quite charming or well-realised enough to fulfill its potential.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gear.Club Unlimited is a good racing game, but it seems to lack that sweet, satin finish on the Switch that's so apparent on mobile.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A brave effort to bring vision training to the masses, Sight Training won't appeal to most and is undone by the blind spot of dullness.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It has the potential to be a great game, but Scribblenauts Showdown just doesn't have enough depth or freedom to live up to its name.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While it's not without its merits, a clumsy control system and some badly thought-out levels mean Rocket Fox doesn't quite reach the heights it's aiming for.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A nice enough twitch title, with some lovely graphics and audio, but the game's lack of challenge means it can become a bit dull.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sci-Fi Heroes is an amusing and colourful action-RPG, but its overly severe freemium model strangles the life out of it.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This latest puzzler from veteran Alex Pajitnov looks like it was made in the '80s, but it provides a hefty challenge and it's free.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If Dino Hunters: Deadly Shores weren't free to play, it might be something approaching outstanding.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A well put together, reasonably original arcade game. Ninja Up! won't hold your attention for long, but you'll have fun with it while it does.
