    • 60 Critic Score
    An amusing lampooning of modern game monetisation methods that actually enhances the ultra-fast, ultra-simple gameplay, and entertains through wry humour as much as engaging gameplay.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A flat, generic experience, Across Age 2 is reasonably enjoyable, but it doesn't do enough to justify giving it too much attention.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ramps has value in spades, but its physics puzzle play lacks the spark needed to make it stand out.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite its iintriguing take on match-three puzzle play, Puzzle Cosmos is just too hard to be enjoyable.

    • 60 Critic Score
    A Musical Story is a 70s-themed rhythm game with funky music and stunning visuals. Getting those beats right without the Assist function can be frustrating at times, but it's worth picking up if you're up for a challenge (and the occasional earworm).
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It doesn't reinvent the endless-runner genre, but it's a good, low-investment game perfect for those obsessed with chasing leaderboard scores.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fun in small doses, Nutty Fluffies is a little too repetitive and shallow to offset the slightly cynical in-app purchase system at its core.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Inked is a unique puzzle game that’s at its best when you pause and marvel at the beautiful hand-drawn world around you. It’s not meant to be played through in a single sitting, as puzzles, while varied, do tend to get tiring after a long gaming streak. It’s best enjoyed a chapter or two at a time, though that’s not to say it’s not engaging, because reveling in the stirring musical score alone is already well worth your time.

    • 60 Critic Score
    It has its moments, but Attack on Titan 2 descends a little too quickly into repetition.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dracula: The Path of the Dragon: Part 2 moves the plot forward, but doesn't address the need for more engaging gameplay.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Splinter Cell: Conviction's fiddly controls and technical quirks spoil an otherwise pacy and entertaining action-stealth game.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A not particularly impressive experiment in cross-platform storytelling, Electric City The Revolt has its moments, but they're too few and far between.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite generally lacking in excitement and inspiration, Way to Go is one of those inoffensive and solidly constructed spatial puzzlers that could keep you playing for a surprisingly long time.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fun for a few days, this freemium title won't dent your wallet, but it won't steal your heart either. After the improvements made following a shaky start, there's hope that this will evolve into something more elaborate, but right now its play is all too shallow.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mario Party: Island Tour will provide you and a bunch of mates with a great evening of laughs, but most of the time you'll be laughing AT it rather than with it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    JuJu Ball is by no means a bad game, but it's one that you'll forget about pretty quickly when it's done.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you’re a fan off the BlazBlue series, pick up a copy. If not, then you may want to avoid it unless a visual novel is exactly the experience you’re looking for.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Legend of Spyro trilogy finishes on a high note. It's imperfect, but highly enjoyable, lacking only polish and length.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A stripped back conversion of a strategically challenging if one-paced boardgame, Abalone isn't up there with the classics, but it is a worthy alternative.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Word Explorer is a generously proportioned word puzzler, but its core anagram-based gameplay isn't quite involved or varied enough to support the sheer weight of content.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While MMA should be applauded for an innovative control scheme, it's ultimately cumbersome. This issue and the lack of multiplayer make it an underwhelming game.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Kosmo Spin looks a treat and features a neat universe-spinning concept, unfortunately it can't back these up with sufficiently compelling gameplay.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Firefly Runner isn't particularly original, and it won't get your heart racing, but it's a pleasant endless runner that benefits a good cause.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Trade Nations has a few neat ideas, but it places too much emphasis on long harvest times and lacks the same level of content as its peers.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's definitely not for everyone, but Farming Simulator 18 is the absolute best example of a simulator on mobile.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There are certainly a lot of plus points here, but UFHO2 fumbles its execution a little too often to earn a higher grade.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A decent slice-'em-up with a ridiculous premise, Ninja vs. Vikings fails to offset its borrowing of ideas with some unique ones of its own.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Square Planet looks the part, and it has plenty of good ideas, but a less-than-perfect physics engine lets it down.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Entertaining, amusing and great for quickfire RTS play, but too shallow to sustain interest.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Nutty Sam is a decent three-star puzzler that's not nearly as charming as it seems to think it is.
