    Action-heavy dungeon-crawling abounds in Dark Avenger, but the repetitive nature of the gameplay robs the title of any long-term appeal.

    • 50 Critic Score
    And it's a real shame, because Swing Racers could have been an awful lot of fun. As it stands, you might want to check if it makes you want to hurl before you give it a go.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Alien Panic is a one-note line-drawing game that's colourful in tone, but not in nature.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's interesting for a while, but Nun Attack: Run & Gun doesn't have enough meat on its bones to really recommend.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Taichi Panda 3 is for one very small set of players - those who just want to watch an MMO play itself.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There's fun to be had here, but not enough for you to reach into your wallet.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A poor man's Cut the Rope, Spider Jack's few original features end up hurting the formula, rather than adding to it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Without structure and a user-friendly design, Beaterator is not so much a game as it is a musical toy - and not a very entertaining one at that.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An overly simplistic take on the franchise, Monster Hunter Dynamic Hunting is dismantled by a control system that's all too often not fit for purpose.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There's a good game here somewhere, but it gets lost beneath poor puzzles and badly implemented ideas.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There are some decent ideas in Calvino Noir, but it's a mixture that just doesn't come together.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It might look like it has a wide scope, but Galactic Conflict lacks the epic scale that its name suggests.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Lacking in originality or craft, Castle Defense HD feels like a cheap cash-in of Plants vs Zombies, only without the cheap price tag.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A bland-looking, dull, and frustrating RTS, Pyramus just doesn't have the spark to set it apart from other games of its ilk.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A lovingly remastered version of an iconic game, but sadly one that will only frustrate and annoy when not viewed through rose-tinted spectacles.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite some enduringly fresh touches, Duke Nukem II hasn't aged particularly well, with poor virtual controls and dated gameplay threatening to tarnish memories of the original.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A somewhat flat, vague 3D runner that doesn't really bring anything new or exciting to the genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    An ambitious open world action game that frustrates and obfuscates with its disparate parts and rough edges.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Awkward controls and poor AI make a mess of this stripped down real-time strategy game.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Cars is by no means a terrible game, just a very average one. And 'average' is not the sort of thing you'd expect anyone to happily spend £30 on. Go see the film five times instead.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Exciting enough in short sorties, Heatseeker can't really compete with the big boys due to repetitive action, limited multiplayer options and outdated presentation.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A well put together, but ultimately pretty drab match-stuff puzzler.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While Idyllic isn't terrible, nor does it live up to its name or its intriguing premise.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Wizard Quest is built around an interesting core concept, but its drab graphics and grabs for in-app purchases make it difficult to enjoy.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A reasonably charming but ultimately forgettable endless-runner, Mini Ninjas is about as by the book as they come.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Super Neptunia RPG isn't very good. Play SteamWorld Quest for a decent 2D RPG, or Octopath Traveller. Just don't bother with this.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While there's some fun to be had with No Gravity: The Plague of Mind, as space combat games go, it becomes repetitive and rather weightless.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A formulaic hack and slash action RPG that doesn't even manage to get that bit right.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Disgaea 5 Complete is an inaccessible, ugly, and grind heavy strategy RPG that asks far too much of you to get anything out of it. Unless you already love the franchise, we'd strongly urge you to stay clear.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A deceptively fun, if simple, shooting game that will test your skills and patience.
