    As fresh today as it was 12 years ago, Munch’s Oddysee’s clever puzzles, likeable characters, and weird personality are a joy to experience. It’s a shame about the camera, though.
    • 62 Metascore

    Bright and a bit dangerous, anyone looking for a single player experience will be disappointed, but those looking for a tight multiplayer experience will find something to like.

    • 40 Critic Score
    Like driving a milk float through treacle with occasional bricks to steer past, The Drive: Devil's Run isn't fast, but it might make you furious.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A game about tapping the screen. And that's about it, really.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Where's My Geek? is a fun, funny, and more than a little wacky 'hidden object' game that does the rest of the series proud.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Docking Sequence is an odd sort of reactionary arcade game that's not without its charm.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A brilliantly put together fighter that crackles with great idea and measured, well balanced scraps.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    An inspired blend of infinite runner, free to play gaming, and retro classics, Platform Panic is a pixel-perfect way to end a great year of smartphone gaming.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A blurry, vaguely insane twitchy dodger, Polyganic has an interesting enough central idea to keep you playing through bouts of frustration.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Narborion Saga is a decent digital adventure book with some questionable grammar and weird monetisation processes.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's a solid idea at the heart of Spoiler Alert, but it never quite manages to turn it into a stellar game.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The core of a fun mobile city-building game is buried beneath egregious free to play additions.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rock Boshers DX has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. It's just a shame that the Vita's analogue stick can't keep up.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Brothers in Arms 3 is an enjoyable shooter with lots of content and smart controls, but its buried under so many IAPs it feels like a hilarious parody of free to play games.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    While the core gameplay grows a little samey, Marvel Contest of Champions is hugely fun and accessible, despite freemium annoyances.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A largely entertaining word game, with some great ideas, but it bangs on a bit towards the end.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite a fresh and nuanced movement system, this endless faller is somewhat spoiled by a miserly approach to dishing out rewards and incentives.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Lack of instructions, bugs, and a weak sense of history bedevil what is, at heart, an interesting and accessible strategy game.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's not a perfect port, but this is a massive, faithful, and wonderful inexpensive collection of three terrific adventure games.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A light-hearted adventure that nearly hits Nintendo-style heights, but never quite manages to get there.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A thoughtful, fresh, and surprisingly fun game of observation and resource management, Papers, Please is one of the most distinctive games on any platform.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    ShakePop is a simple and slightly weird game, but it can be surprisingly difficult to put down at times.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies - Fight for Middle-earth may be free, but that doesn't mean it's worth your time.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A beautiful-looking effort to bring the Corto Maltese comic books to life through exploration and puzzle solving that's hamstrung by a wafer-thin story and agonising dialogue.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Dungeon of Genesis is a dungeon crawler with some potential, but potential is all it has.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An engaging first episode that snaps along at a decent pace. Tales from the Borderlands might not have the emotional heft of Telltale's other games, but it's got enough charm and cheek to see it through.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though it doesn't offer a lot of variety from stage to stage, Color Ranger is a fun mix of pool and pinball.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Bertram Fiddle isn't quite as funny or smart as other point and clicks, but it's still a charming and inventive story.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's fun to be had with Snowboard Party, but after a while you'll probably pull out your PlayStation and play some of the much better games that inspired it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Great at what it does, but this beautiful infinite racer is perhaps a little too minimalist for its own good.
