It might look amazing, but there are too many little problems here to wholeheartedly recommend the game.

There's a lot to like in Astra, and if you're into leaping around planets then you're going to enjoy it.

This Layton may not take after his famous dad, but his thrilling, fast-paced mysteries make this the gaming equivalent of a page-turner.

A concise and enjoyable action RPG-lite with an irritating - but not deal-breaking - IAP system.
