    Not much has changed since Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes came out in 2015 and that's mostly a good thing. Whether you're playing through the campaign mode or prefer taking on your very own bombs in Free Play mode, it'll keep you on your toes. There's no major need to pick it up if you've got the game on another platform already, but at such a low price it's hard not to recommend it to liven up social gatherings.

    It might start out as a closed book, but the more you play 868-Hack, the more you'll find to enjoy.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fun, challenging and atmospheric with plenty of replay value, but the lack of online multiplayer is puzzling.

    An homage and a reinvention of the dungeon crawling RPG, 100 Rogues sparkles with wit and fine gameplay mechanic. It's just a shame technical issues have spoiled its sheen.

    Satisfy charismatic monsters by feeding them vibrant condos while keeping them balanced and the monsters happy while hoping that luck stays on your side.

    • 80 Critic Score
    A clever, good looking puzzler that's got enough going on under the hood to recommend.

    Big, brash and beautiful, Ace Combat X is a prime example of the PSP's capabilities and deserves a place in every thrill-seeking PSP owner's collection.

    Baseball fans should retrieve their wallets immediately. You won't find a more immersive baseball game outside the ballpark.

    A delightfully gory and unpleasant game book experience, Heavy Metal Thunder lays it on thick, but in the best possible way.

    A good-looking and playable racer, which with enough investment from the developers could conceivably become one of the best on the platform.

    There might not be the depth of a real PGA game here, or the wackyness of the other end of the golf game spectrum, but as a mobile dive-in-and-out experience it's pretty much spot on. Pick it up and you'll see what I mean.

    • 80 Critic Score
    A smashy arcade racer with hidden depths, this one's well worth a look.

    This isn't one for the faint of heart, but if you're looking for a board game to really get lost in, Through The Ages is going to be right up your street.

    Puddle may take a while to fully get going, but once it does it gives you no excuse not to take the plunge.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Stardew Valley is a fantastic experience as ever, but it's let down by its awkward combat controls.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A unique take on the third-person action genre with satisfyingly different touchscreen controls.

    Despite putting its own spin on the short Marvel comic series, Zen Studios has managed to strip back the Marvel lore so it appeals to pinball heads everywhere. It's as good as the firm's Plants vs Zombies table, if not better.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With ultra-competitive multiplayer, thoughtfully designed bonus challenges, and plenty of content to see, PinWar should appeal whether you're a fan of pinball or not. This is a superb offering, especially with mates.

    Shattered Planet is unforgiving, brimming with traps, and lousy with monsters - but that's what makes it fun.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Star Thief probably won't last you very long, but it's an accessible and challenging casual game that underlines the importance of good presentation.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It doesn't have the lineage of other fighting games, but Blade Strangers is well worth checking out.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A clever subversion of strategy and casual mobile play that makes you laugh, cry, and think.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you've never played a gamebook, Judge Dredd: Countdown Sector 106 is an entertaining, brilliantly designed introduction to the world of dice and bookmarks.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A clever and well-put together-homage, Ittle Dew is let down slightly by some control issues, but it's still an entertainingly retro romp.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hitman GO is a smart and satisfying puzzle game, with loads of content and plenty of variation. It's also totally adorable.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A splendidly stupid shooter, Lock 'n' Load successfully mixes cartoon violence and a pleasantly heavy shooting mechanic to great effect.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Knights of Pen and Paper 2 is more of the same. And it's still full of heart, wit, and grind.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The story mode of Warioware Gold only lasts a couple of hours, but those few hours are bursting with enjoyment and madcap humour.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An addictive, brilliantly designed blast of twitch and score-chasing, Pivvot is a wonderful way to waste a few hours.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Danganronpa 2 builds on its predecessor's foundation for a murder mystery that is brimming with personality.
