    Tough but ultimately rewarding, Defense Technica is a surprisingly deep but often cruel tower defence title.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A particularly busy if derivative tower defence game with just enough fresh little touches to make things interesting.

    Remember the brawlers of old? This is that. Exactly that, only without the multiplayer you always thought was the best aspect of the genre.

    Designed for kids, the well presented Pet Alien provides a gentle puzzle-based experience that should appeal to a wider audience than just those who enjoy the TV show.

    Religion Simulator might work better as a slower game with more options, but what's here is engaging and sure to give you a power-rush.

    Fans of the scrolling-text style of iOOTP Baseball will be in their element in this edition. And while the gameplay itself remains familiar and unchanged, it may not prove quite compelling enough for all but the most ardent slugger fans.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fast and frenetic role-playing that fixes some of its predecessor's largest flaws, despite the continued reliance on rote fetch quests and cheesy writing.

    A thoughtful and well-put-together puzzle game, Reiner Knizia's City of Secrets Pipes is an enjoyable, deep, time-consuming brainbender.
    • 77 Metascore

    Touchgrind BMX is fast, addictive and enjoyable to play. Sadly, a crushing lack of tricks and some serious control and camera frustrations hold it back from being an essential ride.
    • 65 Metascore

    There's fun to be had with its sharp-edged bike blasting, but SXPD is a little on the small side.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Its free to play system might but some off, but Madden NFL Mobile is a step up from last year's effort.

    While its roots are firmly planted in match-3 puzzles, Rescue Quest is still different enough to feel like something new.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Summoners War: Rush is an idle RPG featuring familiar faces from the popular Summoners War franchise, but in convenient portrait form. Everything can be automated in the main campaign, with a tower defence mode, you can also give it a go if you're looking for something more hands-on. I personally don't see how long it can hold my attention, but if the initial adrenaline rush is enough for you, then your mileage may vary.

    There's still a wonderful game here, it's just a little hamstrung on a platform it was never designed for.

    Satellina Zero's slick but simple arcade gameplay may grow repetitive, but offers twitchy thrills in short bursts.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An engrossing, if repetitive, tap-to-jump title that offers a wide variety of gameplay and challenge in a simple package.
    • 74 Metascore

    While the revised touch controls offer a mixed bag of accessibility and annoyances, Final Fantasy still delivers simple, solid role-playing.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a cheeky little affair with goofiness and laughter to spare. Just hope that there’s an early patch to shine up those minor imperfections.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A movie tie-in that actually does some justice to its fun source material, this match-three puzzler is a retro delight.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This compelling and appealingly hard-edged strategy is a few tactical adjustments away from achieving its goals. Worth a look.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Learn some survival and maintenance basics while trying to establish a thriving society in the wilderness for low-poly mannequin people.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A compelling and atmospheric slice of light strategy, undermined by its monetisation model.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Puzzle Coaster is an enjoyable game with which to wind down, though the controls are more likely to stump you than the puzzles.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Thanks to some iffy virtual controls and missing audio, Rayman Classic isn't quite a perfect port of the Atari Jaguar original.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fallout Shelter on Switch is the same great game it's always been, but it's unclear why you'd jump from mobile to this version.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The melodramatic use of weapons and curious lack of online multiplayer can't stop Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit from offering cheap arcade racing thrills.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mutant Mudds is a great slice of retro-styled platforming for the 3DS, which just falls at the last few hurdles.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Very similar to the first Chaos Rings game in both design and gameplay, Omega comes across more as an expansion pack than a full-blown sequel.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    In a world overrun with zombies, look to the horizon for a new Undawn and a new beginning for the community, your home, and sometimes zombies.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A promising concept that falls short of the finish line, sabotaged by tilt-screen tablet controls and lack of multiplayer functionality.
