    Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days delivers magical gameplay, though it forgets to summon a good story along with it.

    Don't let its cutesy role-playing-lite stylings fool you; Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales is a quality game that's a blast to play. [JPN Import]

    One the series' die-hards only. Everyone else should bite the bullet and accept that for this season at least, FIFA's leagues ahead.

    It certainly looks the part, but Catapult King's use of 3D makes it all too difficult to enjoy. Stick with those Angry Birds for your castle-toppling needs.

    An action-role-player, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time also contains a great multiplayer mode. Only occasional bugs knock off some of the polish.

    Whilst not quite as perfectly formed as its prequel, echoshift is still great fun, and offers a relaxing, slow-paced experience that is perfect for Sunday morning brain training.

    An entertaining riff on the classic Arkanoid template with extended levels - though their sprawling nature also leads to a couple of dull patches.

    A simple but engaging expansion of the slicing genre, KingHunt is an enjoyable arcade blast.

    An excellent version of an arcade legend, Pang Adventures is an update and a history lesson rolled into one.

    A generic presentation doesn't do Dungeon Crawlers any favours. Nor does the irritating game camera. But it's a robust tactical RPG with some smart gags.

    Nidhogg 2 is a game of ethereal highs and thudding lows, and those sporadic bursts of joy are best experienced with a friend by your side.

    A wonderfully entertaining, perfectly balanced arcade blast, VS. Racing 2 offers the sort of addictive racing everyone can enjoy.

    • 70 Critic Score
    A fun casual puzzler with some novel concepts, let down by an uneven difficulty curve and unnecessary IAPs.

    A stellar update of an esteemed platform classic, the Prince's latest handheld trip is one that is well worth rediscovering - or discovering for the first time if you're lucky enough to still be considered a youngster.

    The nub of something very special, just not quite charming or well-realised enough to fulfill its potential.

    NightSky is a dream - the sort you never want to wake up from - wrapped in the most challenging of conundrums.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A clever use of mobile technology to tell an enthralling story.

    Shame about the loss of multiplayer, but for solo gamers Rocket Riot is a real blast - in bite-sized portions, at least.

    It's not a game for everyone, but even those outside of the targeted demographic will treasure Hakuoki if they allow themselves to fall into the story.

    While it might draw comparisons with No Man's Sky, Morphite heads out in its own direction, and it works much better.

    The Room is always going to be good, but playing on Nintendo Switch isn't the best choice.

    As mad as a barrel of frogs, Disco Kitten is an entertaining little game, and while there's not much to it, you'll still keep coming back for more.

    A challenging and surprisingly fresh physics-puzzler that walks the fine line between frustration and freshness.

    The Flame in the Flood is an absorbing survival game with bags of heart and some genuinely interesting ideas. Its constituent parts can grow wearisome, but there's always a majestic river nearby to sweep you onto the next challenge.

    An interesting mash of ideas, styles, and polish, Colossatron just about manages to pull it off.

    A thoughtful examination of press censorship and its repercussions, it might not hit all the right notes, but it's still well worth a play.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Good run and gun fun in small doses, but it won't pull you away from more polished offerings in the genre.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A refreshingly bright and breezy take on the Batman universe that is well worth investigating, but it won't take long to long to bat grapple hook your way through.
    • 74 Metascore

    Effortlessly stylish, engagingly simple but deep and beguiling, this is handheld twitch gaming concentrate.
