    Yes, some people are going to find that steep price point a little off-putting, but this is a superb mobile game that's releasing at the same time on the App Store as it is on other platforms. But even if it wasn't, there'd still be a case to be made that Dandara was worth it. If you're a fan of superbly designed action games, then you owe it to yourself, and to the devs, to give this one a try.

    Night in the Woods is a rich and heart-filled story that's easy to fall in love with and incredibly hard to forget.

    A fast-paced and often manic driving game. It'd be a crime not to give it a go.

    • 70 Critic Score
    There's a great story here, and the platforming is just about good enough to back it up.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There are some great moments here, but a few fussy ones that spoils things a little bit.

    It gets off to a rocky start, but Hero Hunters is a fantastically fun shooter that will soak up plenty of your time.

    A thoughtfully designed casual time waster that benefits from being played in a trance-like state.
    • 73 Metascore

    Though it suffers occasionally in its pacing, World to the West is a fun 3D adventure/puzzler for players of all ages.
    • 74 Metascore

    It might not be the most interesting Final Fantasy game ever made, but there's fun to be had here all the same.

    Shu
    SHU is a classic platformer that does the genre justice. It may not be super advanced, but it is good fun.

    World of Warships offers plenty for fans of nautical engagement, but the pace might be a bit too slow for others.

    Is it a good game? Yes. Is it a game that's going to slice the people who play it down the middle like, well, like a space beetle slicing through a bizarre interpretation of a hyperdrive trip infused with psychedelia? Yes. If you've read this review, I hope that you know which side of that line you're on. Because if you pick the game up and it turns out you're towards the screaming and never forgiving the game end of the spectrum, you've got a pretty bad three minutes waiting for you just down the line.

    Draw a Stickman: EPIC 2 might not be the hardest game to get to grips with, but it's still fun with an interesting mechanic.

    Meteorfall is exactly what you want from a single player card game. It's fun, it's deep, and it'll keep you coming back for more.

    Super Fancy Pants Adventure is one of the most joyfully tactile mobile platformers around, underpinned by a thrilling sense of momentum.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's still super slick, it still offers some of the best puzzling on the App Store, and it's still creepy as hell. Even four goes in The Room: Old Sins delivers.

    Blocky Racing doesn't reinvent the casual karting genre, but it does win you over with a distinctive handling system and balanced, competitive racing.
    • 83 Metascore

    It's Full of Sparks is a fun, colourful platform-puzzler that doesn't quite ignite as it should thanks to a few mechanical imbalances.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Jydge is a great, difficult, nice looking cyber punk shooter that fits into nicely mobile-sized bursts. It's so much fun I can just about forgive the fact that it's called Jydge.

    The Escapists 2 improves on its existing formula, offering up another great sandbox experience with a little more bite.

    There's so much to like in Hero Academy 2 that it's hard to get it all down in one review. From the brilliant art style to the various layers of tactical ideas, everything here is polished to the sort of sheen we expect from the very best games on the App Store. If you're looking for a fight, and you want to make sure that you're using your brain as well as your brawn, then this is the perfect game for you.

    Black: The Fall is a nice addition to the Switch range, offering an interesting story, intriguing puzzles and great bite-size gameplay. Lovely moments easily outweigh any small flaws.

    It's a neat concept and fun in co-op, but Space Cycler's lengthy levels and uncomfortable controls make it tough to recommend.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    HeliHopper is a bright, solid casual game that provides an interesting twist on the Angry Birds ping mechanic, but it feels a little too sparse and repetitive.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A super sharp card game that will have you hooked for hours on end.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It has a few problems, but if you're looking for a sharp action game with plenty of challenge, Furi is for you.

    The Nintendo Switch is the perfect home that Super Meat Boy never knew it needed.

    Rusty Lake Paradise is strangely compelling, but its overly-weird setting lacks substance and makes puzzles quite confusing.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A frantic battle to the death, and then to the death again, that does lose a bit of its shine in the grind.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Those who previously complained about the title's lack of touch screen will be thoroughly satisfied this time around. Mind you, if you've played it already, there's not that much point grabbing it again. Despite the fact Max: The Curse of Brotherhood isn't a fantastic game, it is a great platformer/puzzler which does shine up nicely on the Switch.
