    • 60 Critic Score
    A well presented flick-'em-up with decent physics, though it won't win any awards for depth or originality.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's a bit of pop to Skatelander, but after a while it falls flat.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's not a bad game by any means, but Tiny Defense suffers from a crippling lack of originality, and comes across as a merely passable amalgamation of many other superior titles.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A nicely presented, but ultimately underwhelming addition to the auto-runner genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Galaxy Run takes Run Roo Run to into the vacuum. Expect to trip on your mistakes over and over again until you're driven to the brink of space madness.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Not for the casuals, Dual Survivor is a puzzle game that requires quick reflexes and limitless reserves of patience.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Happy Street is a charming freemium builder that fails to live up to its inspiration thanks to a gameplay-distorting freemium model.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An absolutely gorgeous game, Wonderputt is let down by its clunky controls and a distinct lack of content.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Bladebound is a deeply familiar yet highly approachable action RPG with virtually no distinguishing features.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A competent - if technically unimpressive - racer which is enhanced by some neatly branching track design and overall charm.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A few flashy upgrades and new specialist units do little to camouflage the fact that this is a rehash of the original Tiny Troopers.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's some fun to be had here, but it doesn't last as long as you'd like.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While it has its moments, Ninjas - Stolen Scrolls is let down by its imprecise controls and repetitive nature.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Lego Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin is more of the same which is good or bad depending on the level of fatigue you feel for the franchise.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A crisp, clean, and surprisingly educational hybrid of music tuition app and word game that's perhaps a tad too simplistic.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Great at what it does, but this beautiful infinite racer is perhaps a little too minimalist for its own good.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A playable rotation-based endless game that isn't quite special or polished enough to shine.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's potential here but it's sadly squandered thanks to a frustrating control system and needlessly repetitive game modes. One for hardcore WWE fans only.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An immediately fun multiplayer scrapper that requires an injection of depth and content if it's to remain on your playlist.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An unapologetically blunt one-on-one brawler with just enough strategic scope to keep things interesting.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Yes, it's bloody weird, and yes, you're getting a little less bang for your buck, but honestly, stripping back the original game so much has made for a much better experience. Now get out there and dance.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's fun to be had here, but Emergency Mobile just doesn't put you in enough jeopardy to become truly addictive.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Doki Doki Ragnarok is a Viking visual novel-slash-dating sim that lets you date villages instead of people. The loop can get repetitive after a while (and the small text size might make your eyes hurt after a long playthrough), so it's best played in short bursts when you're feeling a little silly.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Maths Training looks good on paper and has a few good ideas, but forgets the importance of making learning fun.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A campy turn-based adventure with the right idea, Tactical Soldier: Undead Rising discharges gameplay riddled with flaws both superficial and substantive flaws that make it tough to recommend.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A decent Bejeweled clone with horrifically expensive micro-transactions and long load times, the Vita's first freemium title is a misplaced first step into the brave new world of free games on portables.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A colourful endless climber with a control system that doesn't quite match the challenging level design.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Your standard Lego game, only without the big name licence to carry you through the dull bits. Kids will still enjoy the simple gameplay, but their parents? Not so much.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A solid point-and-click adventure, Cognition: Episode 2 is a decent enough sequel, though it lacks the bite of the original.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Imperfect handling and shallow gameplay leave DiRT 2 in the dust of more compelling, competent off-road racers.
