    A brilliant survival adventure through a hostile alien world. Crashlands is funny, fun, and well worth the hours you'll lose in it.

    Layton's Mystery Journey may be a big investment, but if you're a fan of the games or love solving puzzles in general this'll be well worth the money.

    If you already own the originals and were left wanting more then you'll be well-served with Pokémon Black and White Version 2. If you're new to the series, or you've just missed a couple of entries, you can't afford to miss this terrific RPG-lite adventure.

    Yes, it's sweet, but look beyond the cute visuals and you'll discover a slickly produced, deeply enthralling strategy game, which combines tactical planning with edge-of-your-seat scrambles.

    A beautiful, sad, sometimes brilliant game. It has a few problems, but it's worth sticking with all the same.

    An ingenious, well put together mash up of genres and ideas, Gunbrick is the first must-buy of 2015.

    If Pullblox was the game that pulled you into the series, Fallblox is the game to make you fall in love with it. Awe-inspiring.

    Deathsmiles mixes up the formula to drag in bullet-hell fans and lowers the barrier to entry to encourage newbies. Everyone with a passing interest should try out this smart, compulsive and thrilling blaster.

    XCOM: Enemy Within adds some wonderfully inventive new toys, but making it a separate app means only those who truly adored Enemy Unknown should double dip.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Simple to the point of beauty, and beautiful to the point of becoming a work of art, this is a game you won't want to win, because you won't want the experience to end.

    Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection contains two of the very best stealth games of the last decade, lavishly updated and jam-packed with extra content.

    A sharp, wonderfully written adventure, 80 Days deserves your attention.

    Cutting straight to the chase, Legacy 4: Tomb of Secrets is an equal brain cracker of a game and lived up to expectations as a promising sequel. Without sounding too much like a generic corporate-ish shill, David blessed us ruin maniacs with a game with countless hours of puzzle thwacking in an immersive environment. Nothing could top the sheer enjoyment you can get at a steal at $2.99.

    Poinpy is a deceptively simple and highly engaging title that tasks you with going upward to collect fruit before time runs out. While your initial runs may feel like a literal and figurative uphill battle, its mechanics are compelling enough to make you want to try and try again.

    A brilliant multiplayer FPS that you should just go and play right now.

    A truly excellent console-style racer that's been carefully modified for mobile play.

    Space Invaders may now be the unfashionable side of 30 but it's still able to mix it up with the best modern gaming has to offer. This is a superlative modernisation of a classic game.

    Rolando 2 rolls up cool new features and a thorough fine-tuning for a sequel that's nothing short of golden.
    • 96 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A perfect game for those who can handle a lot of reading and absorb lore (there will be tests), and the best advert for the Glorantha setting that anybody could ask for.

    Beautifully designed and a joy from start to finish - DS gets possibly the best version of Lego Indy of them all.

    Tales of Luminaria is a bold new entry into the popular IP that I actually quite enjoyed. It's not the most casual or beginner-friendly game to get into with all of its controversial new features, which is contradictory to its attempts to capture that market. The portrait orientation and the one-hand controls might have been an attempt to keep the game casual, but the overwhelming new features might just be a barrier to entry in themselves.

    Fast paced, gorgeous, and violent in all the right ways, Random Heroes deserves to be played by as many people as possible.

    Funny, clever, and challenging to just the right degree, The Journey Down: Chapter 2 continues its tradition of adventure game excellence.
    • 89 Metascore

    A brilliant strategy title that twists the genre in smart ways, Five Card Quest is worthy of your attention.

    Causality crafts challenging puzzles out of its clever time loop mechanics and colorful isometric aesthetic.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Half gamebook and half action RPG, Joe Dever's Lone Wolf is one adventure that fans of either genre will enjoy from start to finish.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A first-rate take on a classic, which plays well, looks and sounds great, and has tons of varied content.

    • 90 Critic Score
    A vast and engaging third chapter that expands brilliantly on the first two.

    Few games are able to worm their way into your imagination and subconscious as well as New Star Soccer. You'll suffer the highs and lows of its simply presented matches with the grin of a true addict plastered across your face.
