A mix of FarmVille, Clash of Clans, and any other popular freemium builder you care to mention released in the last couple of years, the only thing Epic can call its own is its licence.

Trial by Survival fails to realise the potential for cautious exploration and surprise discoveries in such a post-apocalyptic scavenging setup, and includes an ill-suited twin-stick combat system to boot.

The Breakout clone Brickzors doesn't beat the original.

It has its moments, but Space Hulk stumbles too often to really recommend.

A decent Worms-inspired action-strategy game hampered by sizeable technical issues.

An attractively presented arcade climber that's seriously undermined by frustrating controls and unadventurous design.

Poor controls and curious track design stifle a compelling concept in this disappointing intergalactic racer.

A fun concept that feels a bit rushed in execution. Keep an eye on it for future updates, as it might be a good game someday.

There's a decent puzzle-platformer in here, but it takes too long to grind out the game's currency to unlock later level sets and see it all.

In trying to add a 3D twist to the Angry Birds premise, Picnic Wars ends up losing the addictive simplicity of Rovio's masterpiece.

A timid and tame adventure, Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time is neither a pulsating puzzle or a fitting tribute to the franchise that adorns its title.

One for fans of the film only as charismatic visuals are not enough to mask problematic controls and monotonous gameplay.

A merely adequate Temple Run clone in pretty much every way, Run'n'Gun passes the time but fails to ignite.

While there are occasional flashes of what might have been, Tin Man Can is too bland to recommend.

There are some strong ideas here, but in the end Trixel Rocket is just too frustrating to recommend.

Like a Boss doesn't do enough with its setting to set it apart from the rest of the crowd.

Maria the Witch tries to offer relentless challenge in the same vein as Retry, but neglects to incorporate the stuff that Retry work well.

While episode two has some better puzzles than before, Jurassic Park is still a barely-interactive rollercoaster ride that's more about watching pretty cutscenes than actually playing a game. With its premium price tag, it's very tough to recommend it.

An utterly unique if disappointingly shallow exploration-based shooter.

Secret Files: Sam Peters's sloppy mobile port makes it a difficult adventure to recommend.

A tediously straightforward jump-and-thump. Its splendid presentation isn't enough to paper over its lack of variety.

There are some neat ideas in Xeodrifter, but they never come together to make a coherent whole.

Proof that you should never judge a book by its cover, Galaxy Pirate Adventure's sumptuous visuals can't make up for its shallow, repetitive gameplay.

A bland and unremarkable game, Clash of Puppets isn't broken, but it's far from memorable all the same.

There's a big idea in Tempest, but it gets lost in the swells and eddies of its empty seas.

A retro feast for the eyes and the ears that's let down by sluggish, unreliable controls and damp squib shooting.

A cute tower-building game that does its best to hide its tedium under cute graphics and simple mini-games.

There are plenty of gear-based puzzle games out there, but A Mechanical Story's multi-part puzzles mesh with its gentle graphics and soundtrack to deliver a particularly memorable entry in the genre. Wind it up and give it a whirl.
