    Golfing Around might lack the madcap nature of Colin Lane's earlier games, but the extra depth here makes it well worth checking out.

    Frequently savage, but ceaselessly beautiful, FOTONICA is ultimately yet another auto-runner, but only a nutter would ignore 'Canabalt meets Rez'.

    A game that only six months ago would have justifiably been a full price title is an unmissable and highly entertaining bargain at four quid. That's a lot of rotten meat for your money.

    Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins is yet another fantastic found phone game from Kaigan. The puzzles may not be particularly inventive or challenging but the story is well-written and all the nods to the show are a delight to discover. It's a harder sell to anyone who's never seen Doctor Who but if you give a Blink a watch before playing I'm sure you'll like it too.

    Aarik and the Ruined Kingdom is a calming puzzle game that challenges you to change your perspective to fix pathways and complete your quest.

    Tough and brilliantly presented, Lumber Jacked is an excellent blast of hardcore platforming action.

    Sacred Odyssey skilfully balances action and exploration for an adventure that's defined by its high quality as much as its variety and scale.

    It may not have online multiplayer, yet Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. clutches a superbly designed single-player campaign in its talons.

    Polished, addictive, and disarmingly sweet, Joining Hands is the perfect puzzling pick-me-up.

    A unique adventure game with an incredible sense of style, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP captivates despite of its abstract approach.

    Overall, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is a game that fans will love, and newcomers will get something out of if they invest their time. It's big, tough, and full of dangers, and if grindy, loot-filled action is your bag, then you should jump straight in. But the complete package is lacking some spit and polish that more modern titles have, and it feels like something of a consolation prize for Switch owners compared to Monster Hunter World and its many changes and improvements to the series on other consoles.

    A beautiful if flawed point-and-click adventure game with a look and feel all of its own.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A well presented port of an underrated entry in the Ace Attorney franchise, and one well worth investigating.

    LOK Digital is simple looking, but there is a lot of charm and character in the game itself. The puzzles are fantastically made and feel very satisfying to complete.

    A bright and refreshing puzzler with a deep dark side and a rabbit wearing a crown.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A wonderful 3DS psychological thriller that details the journey through the emotional turmoil of a ship in distress.

    A big, brash boxing game that's surprising tactical at heart, this is worth checking out.

    GT Racing: Motor Academy takes attendance and every conceivable feature and mechanic is here, except bold individuality.

    The puzzles are colorful and challenging, however sometimes the game doesn't seem to work as intendent. Despite this, you can be patient and nudge objects until they, ultimately, vanish.

    Arguably an acquired taste which is going to go down better with RPG fans than other sectors of the gaming community, Half-Minute Hero is nonetheless a true landmark in the genre and perfect for portable play.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A cracking head-to-head strategy game, full of hard choices and brutal interaction. It could really use a patch, though.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A huge thrill-a-minute adventure, with satisfying combat, and big boss fights. Just don't expect the old Metroidvania formula.

    Space Miner is sitting on a gold mine of charming gameplay, yet awkward controls and gameplay imbalances keep it from reaching its full potential.

    Good-looking and fun to play, Incredible Express manages to bridge the gap between casual strategy and tough puzzler with aplomb.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A classy conversion of the latest Phoenix Wright game that makes up for a certain lack of freshness with a high degree of polish.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A super sharp hardcore platform that wants to kill you, in the very best way, at every turn.

    Arena Breakout is an absolute joy to play, and I have no doubt that when there are more humans playing it will be incredibly good fun. However, it is so noticeably dragged down by the pitiful AI. The Covert Mode Op is the perfect solution to collect equipment with low risk, but there is no need for the bots to be this bad. If MoreFun adjusts its AI to be moderately challenging, then Arena Breakout is going to be a force to be reckoned with.

    It may be a little repetitive, but Red's Kingdom is a cracking puzzler with lots of extra elements to keep us going.

    Spectrum - 3D Avenue is a surprisingly elegant (and finite) approach to "flapping".
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Cut the Rope 2 is a more vibrant, more dynamic game than the original, but one that's clearly aimed squarely at existing fans of the series who just can’t get enough of its candy-swinging gameplay.
