A rich, tough, ingenious dungeon crawler that's a pain to play in (mostly) all the right ways.

A fast-paced and often manic driving game. It'd be a crime not to give it a go.

Reed doesn't take any prisoners, and if that's the sort of experience you're after you're going to absolutely love it.

Valleys Between is an intriguing, sometimes frustrating, but always intelligent premium puzzler.

Candies n' Curses is a perfect example of meshing together the old and the new. It's as old a concept as any we've seen recently on mobile, but it's presented in the most modern ways. If this was an arcade game from the era it's aping, then it'd be a hundred times harder, and less fun. Instead you get a game that's all about the balance. The balance between failure and success, retro and modern, control and madness. And where it matters, it gets each of those balancing acts just right.

Rolando: Royal Edition is an entertaining platformer, but even with the extra polish it's showing its age.

A unique spin on the roguelike deckbuilding genre full of well thought out ideas and an addicting gameplay loop.

Unfocused and repetitious at times, Danganronpa crackles with excitement and intrigue when it gets up to speed - making it a visual novel unlike any other.

ChuChu Rocket! fuels fun with challenging puzzle play, despite the absence of online multiplayer and control options.

Despite some broken levels, Ragdoll Blaster 3 still sometimes captures the spirit that made the original great, but nostalgia isn't enough to make it a must-play.

A hugely entertaining shooter that works brilliantly on touchscreen, Neon Shadow is a must-buy for anyone who likes a blast.

There are some nice moments in Rogue Aces, but in the end it's too repetitive for its own good.

A good-looking, deep and engaging package that should be in any self-respecting gamer's collection, save for the fact that many who lack the skill, talent and time to succeed in it won't be able to access at least half of what's on offer.

While it may suffer from repetition and some iffy vocal note tracks, it'll take a very cold-hearted gamer not to warm to Lego Rock Band's infectious humour, varied track list and excellent gameplay.

Fantasian is a classic RPG at its core, with plenty of new tricks and a fresh art style to keep it relatable in the age of AAA cinematic experiences. The unique characters are delightful and full of intrigue, the story is engaging, and the visuals speak for themselves. Having multiple options for controls and a unique way of handling random enemy encounters makes this a game suitable for anyone looking to get lost in a fantasy adventure. While it’s not currently complete, if the game’s second half matches even a sliver of its first half in quality, the game will continue to be an absolute must-play title on Apple Arcade.

New ideas and an attractive presentation enables Spirits to conjure the active puzzle play of Lemmings in a new form.

Lush graphics and free-roaming environments compensate for a steep learning curve, spotty controls, and a reliance on in-app purchases.

More Pokemon spin-off delight as Pokemon Conquest proves an entirely enjoyable ordeal.

Legend of the Skyfish is a veritable tribute to the 2D adventure genre while trying something new.

Another bullet-dodging thrill ride from the king of crazy shmups. But as a straight port of a 2002 arcade game, it doesn't feel as fresh as its Cave cohorts.

With time we hope that Capcom can nail down the problems affecting net play, but as it stands Street Fighter IV Volt is best appreciated by newcomers and should be approached with caution if you already own the original release.

A wonderful, articulate meander through the birth of a musical style, Jazz: Trump's Journey shows just how important and innovative iOS games have the power to be.

Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny brings much of the fighting spirit of the console version to PSP. It's only let down by the weak single player modes.

Bright, polished, and enjoyable, Respawnables rarely misses its mark.

Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee! is a simple game with a deep combat system which everyone can enjoy.

Hugely ambitious and quietly innovative - only a few rough edges stop this short of potential all-time classic status.

Beautiful to look at and fun to play, Blade Lords offers straightforward one-on-one fighting action but relies too much on in-app purchases to keep things ticking over.

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