    Mechanically the best of the series and a genuinely accomplished action-RPG in its own right, Dungeon Hunter 4 blows it with a ridiculously pushy IAP system
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    50 Classic Games 3D is far from a 'classic', on account of its distinct lack of high scores, multiplayer, or variety.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Machinarium on Vita is an elegant version of a great game, adapted for the platform with a good deal of thought and care
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A nicely presented, if largely unexceptional, physics-based puzzler that's inventive enough to entertain for the duration of its relatively swift run-time.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though the controls are merely adequate and the premise fairly generic, Pili Pili Rush offers enough tasty bite-size morsels of platforming goodness to get the juices flowing.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Indiana Stone is witty and attractive, but at its heart it's a fairly uninspired and unremarkable endless-runner.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Simple, entertaining arcade fun, Bottle Cap Blitz doesn't have a huge shelf life but it'll keep you smiling for a while.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tough and brilliantly presented, Lumber Jacked is an excellent blast of hardcore platforming action.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though Mr. Crab is a clever and entertaining platformer, there's nothing fresh about it. It's still worth some attention, mind.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Gemini Rue is an essential game for point-and-click fanatics. It's got atmosphere, a compelling narrative, and clever puzzles. If you missed it on PC, don't let it pass you by again
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's so much to absorb here, but all of it's made to a decent standard, with the element-based jousting a particular highlight
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It sounds epic, but it isn't. Don't let that put you off, though: Hell Quest: Tears of God is a fiendishly compulsive game of gambling, even if it does look and sound like a cerberus.
    • 78 Metascore

    PUK
    A fast-paced and hugely entertaining stripped-back flicker, PUK is a shot of distilled arcade action.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It looks fantastic, and the atmosphere of the game is great, but Nun Attack's shallow and grind-heavy gameplay sucks a lot of the fun out of the package.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With its incredible presentation and easily accessible action, Frontline Commando: D-Day ticks all the boxes, although the focus on in-app purchasing can be irksome.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It has a few stand-out moments, but too often Dream Chaser puts a wall between you and your enjoyment.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A weak port of a reasonable port of a good game. Compared to the original, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus is just too flawed to recommend.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Nitro looks and sounds impressive, but under the bonnet you’ll find a racer which is hampered by a poor free-to-play system and saddled with strangely unexciting on-road action.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Despite some enduringly fresh touches, Duke Nukem II hasn't aged particularly well, with poor virtual controls and dated gameplay threatening to tarnish memories of the original.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    For all of Overkill 2's obsession with weaponry, there isn't enough of an actual game in here to keep you interested.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    If your surname is Moneybags, then you might have enough cash to make Fantasy Quest move at a tolerable pace. But there's no point, because it's an intolerable game.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fast, fun, and frenetic, this match-three RPG needs a bit more polish to be recommended without reservation.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Perky and punky, Motor World: Car Factory is a humdinger of a freemium-builder, only let down by its occasional attempt at convincing you to purchase squiffy IAPs through lengthy builds and optional improvements.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This new version of Hungry Giraffe is a shadow of its former self on account of some in-app purchase horrors. Grab the PS minis version instead.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A messy control system that you're constantly having to fight against means The Other Brothers is a pale imitation of the games it's trying to copy.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A gorgeous-looking game, Badland doesn't quite have the moves to make it a classic.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Slayin is a solid casual game that chooses its influences wisely but doesn't entirely do them justice.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fester Mudd is a funny game with smartly designed puzzles. You don't have to be a point-and-click nostalgist to love this game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Devil Survivor Overclocked is the sort of JRPG that made the Nintendo DS the one-stop shop for tactical handheld gameplay - and now it's passing the favour onto the 3DS.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A few flashy upgrades and new specialist units do little to camouflage the fact that this is a rehash of the original Tiny Troopers.
