    • 80 Critic Score
    It might start out a little sluggishly, but when Anomaly Defenders reveals the full extent of its strategy, you can't help but be sucked in.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A proficiently executed puzzler that's too vague and drab to ever really imprint itself on your brain.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Dull, repetitive, and packed with ads, The Maze Runner might keep you entertained during the movie's opening trailers, but not far beyond.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While it starts brightly, after an hour or so Fold the Adventure has faded significantly.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A gorgeous, varied endless runner that makes a good fist of refreshing a well worn genre, but for a slightly cynical difficulty spike.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Yet another tile-slider, but one that manages to do something a bit different. Engaging, if a bit complicated for its own good at times.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mixing casual real-time strategy, tower defence, and dungeon building, Ninja Raft is full of bright ideas, but its execution is a little messy.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Super old-school, but it proves SRPGs still have plenty of depth and charm.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Treasure Fetch - Adventure Time puts an interesting puzzle-like spin on the classic Snake formula, but it has its drawbacks.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's impossible to resist the crazy escapades of Transolar Galactica, embodied here in a pointless game that manages to keep you pushing ahead despite all good reason. Captain Trigger would be proud.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Tap Army is a reasonably entertaining arcade survival game, but it runs out of tricks pretty fast.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Contrary to expectations, NFL Kicker 15 is quite entertaining despite being about nothing but kicking. A shame it's a free game with a price tag, though.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Race Team Manager is a surprisingly cool 'hands-off but still partially on' racing management sim, even despite its moments of frustration.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Another slab of repetitive, poorly translated, wobbly controlling KRPG 'magic.' Die-hard fans will lap Chroisen 2 up, but the rest should steer well clear.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An intriguing look at where some of the ideas in Sorcery! and 80 Days came from, Down Among the Dead Men isn't as good as Inkle's other games, but it's still worth a look.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not perfect, but that's sort of the point. Goat Simulator is one-note and ridiculous, but it does it very well.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Funny, clever, and challenging to just the right degree, The Journey Down: Chapter 2 continues its tradition of adventure game excellence.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A tough, slick auto runner, but one that doesn't quite feel responsive enough to drag you through the inevitable frustration barrier.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    If you're looking for a clever, welcoming platformer with a lot of heart, Twelve a Dozen is going to be right up your street.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A look back at the early days of the JRPG. Dragon Quest I is solid, but we've come a long way since it was first released and it's starting to show.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    If you are a Final Fantasy or rhythm game fan don't even hesitate to pick up Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A slightly jumbled mix of ideas, Kapsula is fun, but it never manages to really get going.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Seasoned Warriors veterans will love being able to take the hacking and slashing with them on the go, but those new to the series most likely won't find much fun to be had.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Murasaki Baby plays on parental instincts and our natural desire to protect the weak. A skin-crawlingly tense tour of a twisted imagination.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A compelling and atmospheric slice of light strategy, undermined by its monetisation model.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Frequently savage, but ceaselessly beautiful, FOTONICA is ultimately yet another auto-runner, but only a nutter would ignore 'Canabalt meets Rez'.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Phantom Rift has a sharp, fast, and strategic battle system. But there's not much else to keep you entertained between brawls.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A brilliantly fresh take on the match-three puzzler genre that makes up for a lack of urgency with a gorgeous art style and interesting gameplay
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An experimental and highly compulsive card-battler, with some pretty presentation to boot.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A cute and clever physics puzzler that can't quite provide the accurate control system to facilitate its creative solutions.
