    • 60 Critic Score
    A competent stunt racer that's a little too nondescript and derivative for its own good.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A good enough endless arcade runner that you'll tire of sooner rather than later.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite some mild frustrations, Monsu 2 is a competent and fun auto-runner that brings plenty of new ideas to the genre.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Graceful Explosion Machine is a perfectly adequate bullet hell shooter - a good one even. But the repetition and misguided level-based design hurt its chances of being a must buy.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Despite its lack of originality, LEGO City Undercover is a fun and light-hearted LEGO game which you can't help but smile at.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Drive around, shoot people, and sometimes smile while you're doing it - that's Gangstar: New Orleans in a nut shell.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A fun retro shooter that's had enough modern tweaks to make it a nearly essential purchase.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There are some nice ideas here, but Quantum Revenge can't really see them through.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Even with its flaws, Kami 2 is a puzzler perfect for filling in spare moments.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Bethesda Pinball shows initial promise, but its single player price points and two-dimension gameplay let the game down overall.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers provides enough fun to justify itself during the Switch's current drought, but that won't last very long.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    I Am Setsuna does a good job of marrying old and new in one package - and it's delightful on Nintendo Switch.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Barbarian Invasion is more of the same Total War experience, but unless you're already a fan, there's not much here to enjoy.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Sadly, some slight technical issues do mar the experience. The visuals are too blurry, it's not as smooth as it could be, and the HD rumble issue needs to be ironed out ASAP. Look past these issues, and you'll discover a unique and charming puzzle platformer that manages to serve as a love letter to 3D adventures of yore.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Has-Been Heroes has the bones of a great strategy RPG, but it doesn't let you get close enough to love it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Creepy visuals and complex puzzles make up for Cube Escape: The Cave's confusing story and potentially frustrating design.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An interesting brawler with some good ideas and plenty of content to keep fans grinning.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    As boring and laborious as the real thing, Construction Simulator 2 may be accurate in some ways, but it's not worth playing.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Elder Scrolls: Legends is a great CCG, but you're going to have to stick with it to really discover that.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Though it can be a little slow, Sunless Sea is a cracking exploration game with a dark, gothic undertow.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A dark, funny, and super tough mix of genres. And mobile is as good a place as any to start your journey with it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A somewhat empty clicker game disguised as SimCity.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Card Thief has its heartbreaking moments, but beneath its occasional hiccups sits a fun card game which certainly satiates our hunger for strategy.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's tough in the beginning, but Beglitched rewards those who stick around with clever puzzles and a neat twist on match-3.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It may not be a particularly long game but Oxenfree is the right kind of creepy without relying on visual cliches.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A well-designed and varied word game, Typeshift is an unmissable entry to the genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A bright and brave puzzling adventure that takes ideas from the best while still adding its own.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A deeply enthralling adventure game that does things differently. You really, really need to play this one.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Big Journey may have some un-fur-tunate issues with its controls, but it's hardly claw-ful - I dare say you'd better play it meow.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A brilliant, sometimes maddening mix of a boring sport and a brilliant concept. Just go and play it, yeah?
