    Charming and demanding in equal measure, Babylonian Twins shrugs off one or two outdated design mechanics to remind us what was so good about 16-bit gaming.

    A superior sequel in almost every way, Puzzle Quest 2 offers a combination of role-playing and match-three gameplay that is only let down by some niggling technical issues.

    It's a beautiful chaos that will feel great to hardcore gamers, but casual folks may put it down after a few minutes. Who's That Flying?! is an excellent choice for gamers who like to sweat.

    Despite one or two control inadequacies, Blackout represents a creditable attempt at offering up something new to the match-three puzzle genre.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Boasting plenty of old skool swagger, The Last Rocket is a challenging but rewarding puzzler slightly spoiled by one or two imperfections.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A unique puzzle game that adds regular twists to keep itself thoroughly entertaining and playable.

    Clever, well-designed, and occasionally pretty special, Car Toons! is well worth a try for anyone with even a passing interest in physics-puzzlers.

    It takes its time to get going, but once it does Surge is a compelling and visually arresting puzzle title.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An enjoyable slice-and-dicer with enough tricks up its sleeve to keep you entertained for a while.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It may be a little repetitive, but Red's Kingdom is a cracking puzzler with lots of extra elements to keep us going.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A tough as nails mixture of two of the toughest genres out there. It's still a good deal of fun though.

    LA Noire on Switch isn't perfect, but a lot of that's down to its age and the mechanics. As a port, it plays great on Switch.

    A fun, fast-paced dungeon-crawler that does its inspiration justice, Warhammer Quest isn't perfect, but it's a damn good start.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An unabashed Peggle rip-off, albeit a very good one.

    Geometry Wars: Galaxies triangulates arcade action, subtle depth, and intuitive controls for pure fun you'll return to remarkably regularly.

    • 80 Critic Score
    It still can't quite keep up with "Pro Evo" on the pitch in terms of purist authenticity, but FIFA 08 is a huge, glinting treasure trove of features and modes with accessible gameplay and solid presentation.

    Behind the bright cartoon graphics lurks a black heart of pure gaming evil, and for some that makes Checkpoint Champion essential.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fun, challenging puzzling platformer that works well on touchscreen.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Wonder Boy is full of wistful retro charm, and an absolutely essential purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is another admirable Switch port from Panic Button, which preserves the slick gunplay and hard-hitting story of the original. However, severe technical constraints make this a heavily compromised experience - especially in handheld.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There are some interesting moments in Episode 2, but it doesn't feel like Republique has really grown in the time it's been away.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Very simple, not hugely original, but extremely compelling tower defence fare.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    World End Syndrome is an absolutely gorgeous visual novel, let down by a few gameplay ideas that simply don't work.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Worth a look if you're flush, but not quite as chillingly effective as it could have been.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A good-looking and accessible dungeon-crawler, Orc: Vengeance falls down with restrictive levels and woeful controls.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While much of its perpetual running gameplay has been seen before, Grim Joggers does enough to push it in front of the also-rans with its crowd-control twist.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An accessible and deep JRPG, even if the opening hours are a bit of a slog.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Catalyst Black is an AAA-quality battleground shooter on mobile that features top-notch production value you can expect from the makers of VainGlory. Gameplay is smooth, stunning, fast-paced, and most of all, extremely fun - it doesn't really need to be anything more than that.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The superbly implemented web-slinging and touchscreen combat of Spider-Man 3 more than makes up for the lack of mission variety.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A tightly paced, furiously addictive endless climber that plunders those arcade classics for more than just rose-tinted window dressing.
