    Admirable in its variety and scope but in terms of presentation and technical execution it's a bad beat.

    Cloud Village is My First Freemium World Builder, and if you're totally new to the genre then you may find something here of merit. For everyone else, feel free to skip this cute, but soulless time waster.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A fine take on a classic style of fast-paced gameplay, made slow and dull by a clumsy use of free-to-play.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's difficult to get enthused about Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures: it's largely competent at what it does, but what it does is slow and regularly tedious.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Poor controls and bland missions render what should have been a surefire hit into a flawed shooter.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A good-looking, well written side-scrolling platform/RPG hybrid failed by its lack of online functionality and one-dimensional gameplay.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Borderlands Legends is a complete waste of a stellar IP, offering clunky action-strategy fare and paying mere lip service to the series's core strengths.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Half-hearted and without any direction to speak of, Gangstar Rio: City of Saints is evidence of little else than Grand Theft Auto's greatness, serving up a forgettable and muddled entry in the sandbox genre.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Rabbids 3D provides bog-standard platforming action that never really gets exciting.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There is nothing much wrong with Blades of Brim, but there's nothing much to grab you and yell "PLAY ME!" either.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Crooked Path is just too difficult for its own good, and that means it won't hang around on your phone for long.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Overtime Rush is a decent tower defence game that relies too much on grinding.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Epic Island can be a reasonably entertaining game at times - for about two minutes. Then you have to wait. And wait. And wait.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A trip back to the bad old days of mediocre film tie-ins, Wreck-it Ralph isn't abysmal, but it's unlikely it'll keep you entertained for very long.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Another flat Threes! clone with a curious and unappealing computer tech theme.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Too simple for its own good, Little Conquest strips away too much of what makes strategy games exciting, and leaves you with a repetitive, dull slog.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Dead End's grindhouse aesthetics are let down by its short lifespan and dead endgame.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A great idea that brings two distinct genres together in a clever fashion. Sadly, though, Crossword Dungeon just doesn't know what to do with them after that.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An unkind jumper with a few too many problems, probably best avoided.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Style over substance, thanks mostly to some ropey freemium nonsense, Monsters Invade: Oz is a lovely world to be a part of, but only if you have the money to spend while you're there.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite some interesting ideas, World Siege: Orc Defender falls short of offering the location-based multiplayer epic it promises.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two might suit the kids, but it's too dull and fiddly for anyone else to truly enjoy.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The core implementation of placing trampolines to bounce your pangolin up-screen is just a little too unwieldy to heartily recommend. Nevertheless, the art's great and the physics are spot on.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite appearing to be a story-driven detective game, Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir is a simple puzzler that isn't interesting enough to hold anyone's attention.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    CatchaPrince is decent enough, but marathon sessions of play and repetition conspire to limit its appeal.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A surprisingly entertaining hidden object game spoiled by an over-bearing energy system and some annoying monetisation choices.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Soul Grinder mistakes making a game difficult with making a game fun, much to its detriment.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A tiresome Clash of Clans clone, redeemed from utter oblivion by fun flying and amusing characters.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A messy control system that you're constantly having to fight against means The Other Brothers is a pale imitation of the games it's trying to copy.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An interest concept, Prose With Bros's attempt to serve up smutty sentences is nullified by a lack of structure and a setup that's full of bugs and boobs.
