    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A wonderfully put together stealth action title, Sneaky Sneaky has enough stabby fun to keep you going for hours.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A well put together, thematically intriguing digital boardgame, but it's not for anyone with a fear of chits.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Boulder Jack is a decent enough runner, but it can be something of a grind.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A rote, mechanical endless climber that lacks the tactile sophistication such a simple premise requires.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A chilled out brain-teaser based on super-simple maths, Noda is hard to fault but isn't especially remarkable either.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A run-of-the-mill beat-'em-up saddled with iffy controls, dull progression and a somewhat controversial theme. Cast it into limbo.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A brilliantly paced and balanced RPG experience that feels nostalgic and innovative at the same time.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A competent freemium card-collecting RPG that lacks the spark or tactical depth to prompt you into exploring or spending further.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Epic in scope, and with plenty of numbers to juggle, but it ultimately feels clumsy and monotonous by modern standards.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A gorgeous arcade one-touch twitch fest that's cruel and addictive in equal measure.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    What was a great console game almost 20 years ago simply doesn't work on a touchscreen.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Though familiar, Swing Tale is a light-hearted physics game with a couple of small flaws.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A bright and surprisingly challenging touchscreen platformer, Bean Dreams is a sharp and entertaining sequel.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A surprisingly welcoming treat of a JRPG, and a successful blend of two worlds.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A melancholy, surprisingly poignant and oddly hopeful physics arcade game, which burns brightly, even if its conclusion descends into sheer frustration.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's a fair bit of strategy to Dynasty of Dungeons, but even the the flashy special attacks it still feels a bit hands-off.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A well constructed physics puzzler with just the right balance of skill and luck to keep you playing.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While its roots are firmly planted in match-3 puzzles, Rescue Quest is still different enough to feel like something new.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Suspicious mechanics and constant in-app purchases suck all the joy out of Peggle Blast.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    As charming as it is limited, Wicked Lair is a nice distraction but little more. Well worth the price of admission, hopefully future updates can boost the game's longevity.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Somewhere within Earn to Die 2 are the ingredients for some exhilarating ‘one more go' jeopardy-based gameplay, but the recipe used here is downright repulsive.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A beloved cult IP gets attributed to a dull and cynical 2D shoot-'em-up, which will leave fans and non-fans alike distinctly unmoved.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A great game that's hidden behind a control system that it just wasn't designed for. Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath doesn't really work on iOS.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A game that sometimes shines, but remains handicapped by some inconsistent failures.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A smart puzzler that gets past most of its niggles thanks to some fresh ideas.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A tough as old boots word game that's sometimes a little too cruel for its own good.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A reasonably well put together blaster with a cold heart, Star Troll is reasonably rewarding if you're willing to put in some work.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A sweet and endearing endless runner that has enough new ideas to make it worth a look.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fun, challenging and atmospheric with plenty of replay value, but the lack of online multiplayer is puzzling.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Polished and accessible strategy for armchair generals, with an occasionally frustrating combat system.
