    Pokémon Art Academy won't make up for you being inherently bad at art, but if you're interested in Pokémon, and drawing, it's a solid purchase.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Rhythm of Fighters is quite the odd duck, but it's also interesting enough to keep you entertained for a good long while.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A surprisingly entertaining hidden object game spoiled by an over-bearing energy system and some annoying monetisation choices.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Ministry of Silly Walks just isn't very silly.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A smoother, less angry roguelike experience, Storm Casters ticks enough boxes that it's well worth a look.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Lego Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril refines the classic Lego game formula for mobile play, making for a slightly less ambitious but better fitting experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An entertaining if slight arcade blaster, with a dollop of humour and a relentlessly frenzied nature.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An incredibly polished, riveting, and accessible strategy game, but veterans of the series might find it a little over-familiar.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is a funny and charming puzzle collection, with lots of secrets to uncover, that's only let down by some finicky controls.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A solid and entertaining game, Oscura Second Shadow doesn't quite do enough to make it stand out from its predecessor.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Dig out some eShop credits: you're not going to want to miss ye olde Shovel Knight.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A very busy game with so much going on that some might be overwhelmed. Others are likely to become hopeless addicts.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A by-the-numbers endless runner that plays just fine, but lacks any kind of stand-out features to lift it to a higher plane of existence.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    1001 Spikes will frustrate, but its retro difficulty is worthy of a seasoned player's time.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An interesting mash of ideas that never quite gels together, Mind Zero rambles on too much for its own good.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Much more than a shooter, PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is an ingenious game of elemental manipulation.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A sleeper hit in the making, Monster Monpiece's rich battles and complex strategy elements are unfortunately overshadowed by its tawdry artwork and painful fan service.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Overtime Rush is a decent tower defence game that relies too much on grinding.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    We've seen games like Dungeon Gems before, but none have been quite as balanced and polished.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A sharply drawn free-roaming action game that combines knock-about combat with a steadily expanding world to explore.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A frantic and relentless hunt-and-peck game that erratically alternates between delirious brainless fun and IAP clogged drudgery. The more you play, the more overt its negative qualities become.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Slow to play, but fun to tackle, this puzzle-platformer is sweetly entertaining.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A colourful but uninspiring little collection of mini-games, twinned with obnoxious ads and irritating game selection limitations.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A cracking bundle of well put together games, Mucho Party doesn't disappoint.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A brilliantly fast-paced arcade kickabout. Tiny Striker isn't all of The Beautiful Game, but it's enough of it that it's hard to resist.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mecha Ace is a fast-paced text adventure game. It's full of choices that help keep the action interesting.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A frantic and ridiculous arcade blast, Tasty Blue might not fill you up, but it's a decent meal all the same.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A big silly blockbuster of a game that wants desperately to be on something other than a touchscreen device. Godfire: Rise of Prometheus has a meaty bounce to it, but its lack of subtlety will likely be too much for some to take.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A sparse quick-fire boardgame with plenty of interesting ideas, Damn Little Town is just a little too punishing for its own good.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A painfully archaic veneer hides an exciting, unusual, and richly detailed game of timing and strategy.
