    Not as playable as Doodle Jump, controls provide Oddy Smog's Adventure with its biggest challenge.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Qbism convincingly makes use of the touchscreen for simple, yet astonishingly addictive puzzle play that will suck you in for hours.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fine mixture of excellent presentation, surprising depth, and perfect control, Shellrazer is one of the most compelling action games we've seen on iOS in quite some time, but its intense action may not be for everyone.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Bouncy and fun yet inescapably facile, Hackycat wins our favour through an abundance of rewards and an irrepressible joie de vivre.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With its incredible presentation and easily accessible action, Frontline Commando: D-Day ticks all the boxes, although the focus on in-app purchasing can be irksome.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite its name, Starborn Anarkist isn't all that different from other dual-stick shooters. It isn't very shocking in any regard, and it won't change anything about any topic it touches. But it's an enjoyable enough shooter.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There are some nice ideas here, but it can sometimes be a little too fiddly.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Unusual gameplay and rich theme help bring Vietnam to life, but repetition sets in sooner than it should.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A teeth grindingly awful game, but you'll still want to get to the end of it.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Thumb Drift is a simple and engaging one-finger racing. It might not have much meat on its bones, but it's still worth a look.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's a lot to like here, and while it does make some mistakes, the good is pretty much outweighed by the bad.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Even with its flaws, Kami 2 is a puzzler perfect for filling in spare moments.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle makes up for its lacking content with the kind of ridiculous, fun fighting that only Arc System Works can create.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mighty Switch Force is clever, charming, and fun, but feels more like a prototype than a full game.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A weak interface and limited card selection can't disguise that Magic is still a great game.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Devious Dungeon is a woefully simple RPG-platformer that quickly becomes about nothing more than grinding for money and levels.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Though it's a tad short, The Gardens Between is a beautiful puzzler with some wonderfully clever ideas.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mechstermination Force feels like Cuphead meets Shadow of the Colossus, and it's absolutely worth your time.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Doom Resurrection whets the appetite with hard-hitting action and pretty graphics, though is starved of any lasting value.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There's a paucity of challenges to keep you engaged, but Pinball Arcade makes up for that with sheer power of presentation and rock-solid ball physics.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Breakout updated. Wizorb is more intense than your average stab at the format. And the inclusion of extra abilities and retro appearance refresh a genre that didn't seem to be going anywhere.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mixing elements from Angry Birds, Swords and Soldiers, and the best tower-defence games, CastleStorm is the real deal for PS Vita.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A menacingly tough twitch runner, Unpossible is a highly polished, highly enjoyable addition to the genre.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A cracking bundle of well put together games, Mucho Party doesn't disappoint.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's plenty here to like if you're a fan of Monster Hunter or Pokemon, but ultimately this hybrid is less than the sum of its parts and is difficult to recommend over core games in either franchise.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A remarkable achievement and a hugely interesting idea, Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition's inherent identity crisis could be its undoing though.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Golf Story is charming, witty, funny, adorable, entertaining, and a must-have for your Switch collection.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Muramasa Rebirth is gorgeous, action packed, and regularly delightful, but its charm cannot entirely compensate for its repetitive nature.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rote but decent mini-games are married to impeccable presentation and an adorable lead to create something quite special.
