    A refreshing take on the iOS platformer, This Could Hurt doesn't revolutionise the genre, but it makes a good case for a button-free style of play.

    Though Shadow Vamp controls like a slippery little monster at times, there's a clever and original puzzle experience at the (black, unbeating) heart of this game.

    Cult of the Lamb is a fantastic cult simulator with a lot of management and action elements to it. The port to mobile feels smooth and polished, bringing a lot of fun to this pocket-sized cult.

    I came into Blue Protocol: Star Resonance thinking I wouldn’t like it at all. I was expecting another bland gacha fest, but I was dead wrong. The combat is really fun, the characters are endearing, and I really enjoyed my time here. There are some things that could do with changing, in particular, the limited character slots and lack of class previews, but I genuinely can’t wait to be able to return when it officially releases.

    Picross DS isn't the most alluring game you'll ever clap eyes on, but it's startlingly addictive and will provide endless hours of utterly compulsive amusement.

    It's not original, but Tony Hawk's Proving Ground contains more stunts and features than you'll ever manage to roll your way through, and one of the most comprehensive multiplayer modes around.
