    Simple, entertaining arcade fun, Bottle Cap Blitz doesn't have a huge shelf life but it'll keep you smiling for a while.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Add this to the increasingly large pile of iOS games marked 'sort of like Pokemon, but not nearly as good'. Aside from the stupendously good soundtrack, there's little to get excited about here.

    A gripping dice-rolling adventure, Island of the Lizard King is another great Fighting Fantasy gamebook.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tiny Space Adventures tests your memory (and sometimes your patience), but it's consistently cute and enjoyable.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A deep game with a rich and humourous tone, this spin on a classic formula is a must-see for RPG and tabletop gaming fans.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An odd mixture of solid pinball and grim multi-choice adventure that probably won't fully satisfy fans of either.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An experimental and highly compulsive card-battler, with some pretty presentation to boot.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A funny, entertaining puzzler. Adventure Xpress might not be the freshest game on the App Store, but it's fun all the same.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gauntlet's Revenge makes a valiant effort to bring the Tilt to Live controls to a new genre, but they're just too imprecise to really work.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A dark and sometimes stirring gamebook, Sol Invictus might not add much to the template, but it's a thrilling ride all the same.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A sharp and well put together shooter, Gunslugs 2 might be a little too crazy for some, but it's definitely worth a look.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A clever twist on the futuristic racer that changes itself regularly and rewards exploration and experimentation.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A clever puzzler with a raft of new ideas, Perchang is well worth your time.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A solid MOBA brought to life by some excellent use of the Star Wars license.
    • 78 Metascore

    Don't Starve: Nintendo Switch Edition is perfect for survival and strategy-lovers, but it could've used a couple more weeks in testing to nip those pesky bugs in the bud. Though it's as fun as ever there's nothing different about this version and, especially if you've already sunk hours and hours into the game on PC, console, or mobile, there's no real need to pick this up again. I mean, unless you want to own it on the Switch.

    • 90 Critic Score
    A brilliant game of deep sea battles, with a lot more going on than just a gorgeous art-style.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hindsight is a bittersweet narrative journey featuring gorgeous 3D scenes and fantastic voice acting. The gameplay feels a little lacking and the story hammers on the same point repetitively after a while, but it certainly packs an emotional punch in the end.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Shadow Wars is a turn-based strategy that's easy on newcomers but with enough depth for veterans of the genre to enjoy as well.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    From negotiating the labyrinthine levels to cracking heads, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows brilliantly captures the essence of Spidey.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Graceful Explosion Machine is a perfectly adequate bullet hell shooter - a good one even. But the repetition and misguided level-based design hurt its chances of being a must buy.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Despite Pop Island's way too simplistic design, it oozes charm and is wonderfully silly fun.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    They Need To Be Fed 2 offers more of the same platform-physics action as its predecessor, albeit with a couple of tasty twists at the end. It's a shame you have to wait for the truly interesting stuff, though, and the game's controls never quite click as they should.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Some annoying quirks remain, but the all new tasks and fun multiplayer modes keeps More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain? top of the class.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Puddle may take a while to fully get going, but once it does it gives you no excuse not to take the plunge.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It doesn't have the same laid-back attitude as its stablemates, but Nimble Quest is all the more entertaining for that.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tiny Barbarian DX is a great little retro-inspired platformer that riffs on the likes of Donkey Kong Country, but it suffers from repetition and a lack of inspiration at times.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A solid but unremarkable brawler that runs out of super steam a little too quickly.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though limited by its mystifying lack of multiplayer and the shelf life of its pop references, You Don't Know Jack is a fun quiz game.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With the new scavenger hunt mode included, the Vita version of Proteus has something to offer that the PC version didn't, but it's still a polarising experience.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    When it's good, Supertype is great, and it's worth sticking with it through the lower points to get to those soaring heights.
