    More jumpy than scary. Lost Within has a few nice ideas, but it won't leave you psychologically scarred, which is a shame.

    • 70 Critic Score
    A polished and entertaining experience, Metroid Prime Pinball is only let down by its lack of proper pinball tables.
    • 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.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Retro City Rampage pummels you with fantastic video game and movie references throughout, and has the gameplay to back up the funny.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A brilliant touchscreen-focused brawler, Street Fighter X Tekken Mobile is a worthy addition to the fighting genre.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    You'll be talking about the online leaderboards in OlliOlli for weeks, and probably grumbling quietly about the imprecise controls while you do it.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fun and diverting little tower defence game, Go Home Dinosaurs doesn't offer enough to be a classic, but it's worth a punt all the same.

    Zen Studios knows video game pinball and this release is no exception, though a few rough edges go a long way to dull the shine of the steel.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Flick Golf Extreme! isn't a major departure from the original's arcade strokeplay, but the new locations and game mode are still a welcome addition to the formula.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While there's nothing painfully bad about Supermagical, the sum of its parts add up to a mediocre whole.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Compulsive toy collectors: beware! Skylanders Lost Islands is a superbly made world builder, with enough hooks to make you return time and time again
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It may be an update of an existing game, but Switch Galaxy is playable, good looking, and extremely challenging.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A thought provoking and fast-paced strategy game, murdering millions with the flick of a finger in First Strike will make you laugh and cry.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Polished and accessible strategy for armchair generals, with an occasionally frustrating combat system.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A super sharp, violent action game that's worth checking out.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While it does what it does very well, Pixel People doesn't have the balance or challenge needed to break the shackles of the genre it inhabits.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Charming in both concept and appearance, but its brand of button-mashing action is simultaneously simplistic and unwieldy.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Outlast 2 is full of scares, gorgeous graphics, wonderful use of light and dark, and has a compelling story, but does fall prey to its previous shortcomings.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While Gravity Guy is a typical perpetual runner with one or two rough spots, its frequent checkpoints and novel multiplayer mode make it worthwhile.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Sims Medieval is a good Sims game, but it doesn't bring much new to the series.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A brilliant, funny, addictive game, Slamjet Stadium is fun on your own and spectacular with friends.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A twisted and engaging puzzler with a few frustrating sections, Incredipede is - on balance - still worth your time.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A bold and intriguing adventure with an impressive scope, albeit one that's held back by a few niggles here and there.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Bethesda has squashed its 2016 shooter onto Switch, and while it's missing some polish, it's still a lot of fun.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Happy Street is a charming freemium builder that fails to live up to its inspiration thanks to a gameplay-distorting freemium model.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A breezy attempt at streamlining the classic JRPG, Penny Arcade's On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 offers some neat ideas but arguably doesn't go far enough in modernising the genre.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A challenging, surprisingly imaginative match-3 puzzler - but there's little reason to tolerate its free-to-play fussiness with so much stellar competition in the field.
    • 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.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Speedball 2 Evolution isn't a step forward for the old fighter, but it does offer up some enjoyably violent nostalgic action.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Methodical and hugely satisfying, Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter isn't your typical shooter and while it makes considerable demands of the player, the feeling of reward you get in return is immense. The only real complaint is a lack of variety.
