    • 50 Critic Score
    Terrible English localisation throws a spanner in the works for Toy Factory. Somebody dropped the ball in the QA dept, which is ironic considering the subject matter.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Another slab of repetitive, poorly translated, wobbly controlling KRPG 'magic.' Die-hard fans will lap Chroisen 2 up, but the rest should steer well clear.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A great game that's hidden behind a control system that it just wasn't designed for. Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath doesn't really work on iOS.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Interesting to begin with, Zombie Road Trip quickly veers off-course.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Skate It takes the good work of the Nintendo DS version and effectively jams it into the iPhone with little concern for control complexity, yielding a disappointing and frustrating skateboarding simulation.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Monopoly super-fans will likely find the Switch version to be another great addition to their already-heaving collection, but for the rest of you you'll be getting an identical experience without the heart or soul.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A beloved cult IP gets attributed to a dull and cynical 2D shoot-'em-up, which will leave fans and non-fans alike distinctly unmoved.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A neat idea that's scuttled by a few major problems, All Glory to the Pixel King! isn't quite the step forward we'd hoped it would be.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Ambitious but poorly designed tracks and immense frustration ultimately condemn this Trials-alike.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Colourful cards and serviceable social integration keep the fun alive for a short while, but a limited battle system quickly leaves you wanting more.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The core of a fun mobile city-building game is buried beneath egregious free to play additions.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There's a good idea for a game here, but TwinSpin's execution leaves a lot to be desired, resulting in a bare port of the Flash title it's based on.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A decently designed action puzzler that's badly spoiled by clumsy controls and a poor interface.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Rescue Co. isn't a bad game, but its charm wears thin remarkably quickly, betraying its lack of depth.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A good idea and attractive visuals, but the lack of pace, action, and some iffy in-app purchases means Seigecraft ends up as slow and drawn-out as the real thing.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While it might be a nice idea, Earn to Die is an oddly uninspiring experience that prizes slog over everything else.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Hard to play, unexciting, and a little soulless: though some may find Liberation Maiden's style enough to excuse its other faults, this is undoubtedly Suda 51's worst output to date.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Bland, outdated gameplay and a poorly designed interface deflate the cutesy Bloons TD 4.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle's woeful mechanics and clunky puzzle solving turn a promising adventure into a bit of a nightmare.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite being a DSiWare launch game, Art Style: AQUITE is a dull puzzler that should have been dumped at sea.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    SNK Heroines is all about the silly fanservice, but it's at the expense of having a satisfying combat system and any real depth.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A football game that starts off bright but then fades away after too short a time.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Ambitious and full of promise, but essentially dull.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A game that promises much with its cute art style, but delivers a disappointingly flat take on Space Invaders.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A familiar casual builder with a charming Star Trek skin but precious little depth, as well as an annoying over-reliance on wait timers and virtual currencies.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There are some interesting ideas here, but the whole thing feels a little too cumbersome to really recommend.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    MLB 14 looks great and has a host of cool features, but strikes out when it comes to gameplay.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While the central idea is nice, SongRush gets lost amid dull platforming and uninspiring visuals.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A jaunty, if all-too-familiar experience that's lacking polish where it's needed most.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An unlikeable anti-hero in an equally unlikeable adventure, Naughty Boy - Sling and Shoot deserves to be sent to bed with no dinner.
