    • 90 Critic Score
    Completely wonderful in every way, Kirby: Triple Deluxe is a must for fans of the franchise, and anyone who enjoys the platforming genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Brilliantly simple in its design, but too frustrating in practice to easily fall in love with.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A wonderfully well put together table tennis sim that deserves to be played by as many people as possible.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The components for a decent game are present and correct, but many of the good points are hacked to death by poor level design, frustrating gating, and unresponsive controls.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Denpa Men 3 is as surreal as it is enjoyable. If you've been waiting for an RPG to lose yourself in, The Denpa Men 3 is sure to scratch that itch.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good distraction for anyone who's looking for a new infinite runner with a dash of personality, but not a game that will be long remembered.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    1849 is a refreshingly straight-up city-builder with a snappy mission-based structure, but the route to success can feel a little restrictive and one-note at times.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An eminently entertaining slab of balanced indie-platforming fun, Thomas Was Alone feels like it should have been on mobile from day one.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    You never feel in time with the music, the scattershot levels will infuriate those looking for their next auto-runner, and the IAPs are horrendous.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A brilliant and seamless combination of match-three, RPG, and turn-based combat that belies the simplicity of its excellent design.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A jagged-edged retro-fuelled explosion of brilliance, KeroBlaster is well worth your attention.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Horde of Heroes features outstanding presentation, but that's one of the very few aspects of it that makes it stand apart from the crowd of match-3 games available already.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A deep game with a rich and humourous tone, this spin on a classic formula is a must-see for RPG and tabletop gaming fans.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A surprisingly expansive platformer that combines Game Boy visuals with open level design to decent effect.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A mish-mash of good ideas and poor execution, Furious Stars has its moments, but they're too few and far between.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A surprisingly faithful recreation of the tone of the Metal Slug franchise, transposed to a tower defence game. Shame about the unstable and unfair multiplayer.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's pixelly, and lovely, and good natured, but its cry baby populace and lack of real substance will stop you wanting to come back for more.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Enigmatic and inviting, challenging and intuitive, Kiwanuka truly is a game of alchemy.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A gorgeous looking game that's never quite as good as you hoped it was going to be, Last Inua is engaging, but not always entertaining.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Plentiful content paired with stiff graphics make MyTP One Mountain a decent, if unmemorable, skiing and snowboarding game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hack, Slash, Loot is a perfect roguelike if you're looking for a gaming snack. If you want a larger meal, you might be disappointed.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fast-paced, clever dodge-'em-up, Dextris has enough going for it that it's definitely worth a look.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    You might be surprised where the actual meat of the game lies, but Warhammer 40,000: Carnage is a well put together, entertaining diversion.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A modern take on a classic, Titan Attacks! is definitely worth a blast.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A relaxing puzzler or a frantic screen-swiping arcade blast, And Then it Rained lets you decide which it is.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This footie sim's quirks and grind will ensure it remains a downloadable curio, but the presentation and humour is something to see.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fortuna Magus doesn't innovate much on the classic retro JRPG formula, but that might be exactly what some people want.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A bright and frantic arcade blast, Intake: Be Aggressive is sometimes a little too shouty for its own good.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An expertly restored Sonic-style platformer that nevertheless feels dated and unfocused next to the sharper examples of the genre.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    One-half Dynasty Warriors and one-half Hamtaro, Smash Cat Heroes delivers casual-friendly, button mashing fun in an adorable little package.
