    You absolutely must see what Wind-up Knight 2 has to offer, but whether you'll want to commit to the full version or not largely depends on how much you want to play another (very highly polished) auto-runner.

    Much like episode two, A Crooked Mile is an uneventful stopgap in the murder plot. But it's still fun to shape Bigby's character, and explore this bizarre fairytale world.

    Keyword VS. is a very well-made, but creatively bankrupt word game of the kind that you've played a thousand of before.

    A big old bundle of laser blasting fun, Groundskeeper 2 does what it does with style and a cheeky smile.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not perfect, and the controls in particular are annoying, but there's a decent management sim here all the same.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With excellent visuals and plenty to do, this demanding game of strategy, management, and combat only appeals to a specific crowd, but serves that crowd well.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Dead End's grindhouse aesthetics are let down by its short lifespan and dead endgame.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Ace Fishing is, as its name suggests, ace, regardless of whether you're interested in fishing.
    • 74 Metascore

    Light on story but heavy on gameplay, Yumi's Odd Odyssey will as surely delight platformer connoisseurs as it will confound casual players.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Shamefully enjoyable, and somewhat broken, Dynasty Warriors 8 doesn't disappoint.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A disappointingly limited lane-defence game that offers little of the strategic depth fans of the source material would be hoping for, and nothing outstandingly fresh for the rest.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Forest Hunt continues the gripping and well-presented tale which began in Act 1, and while it doesn't bring any groundbreakingly new features, fans will find that it's just as entertaining and action-packed
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tiny Space Adventures tests your memory (and sometimes your patience), but it's consistently cute and enjoyable.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A nice game of tricks and tribulations, traditionalist Trials fans might be put off by Frontier, but newcomers will lap it up.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Unwieldy and unfocused, there's a good game struggling to emerge from the core of Ethan: Meteor Hunter, but it never quite manages to do so.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There are moments here that are pretty solid, but Polar Bowler is built on foundations that melt down pretty quickly.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Cavesweeper is a fun and accessible take on Minesweeper that should make retro game fans quite happy.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    SpellBounders tinkers with the Scrabble template with mixed results, but it's never less than a thoroughly entertaining multiplayer word game.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It might creak a little under the weight of extended play sessions, but there's a good bite of arcade action in 15 Coins all the same
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There are certainly a lot of plus points here, but UFHO2 fumbles its execution a little too often to earn a higher grade.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Word Explorer is a generously proportioned word puzzler, but its core anagram-based gameplay isn't quite involved or varied enough to support the sheer weight of content.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Teggle's brisk gameplay celebrates everything we never knew we loved about touchscreens.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    An occasionally bright game that's beaten into submission by difficulty spikes and shouty IAPs.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tappingo is a fresh take on the grid-based puzzle genre and the perfect treat for your brain and fingers when you need to kill a few minutes.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    An incredibly rich, challenging and varied sci-fi experience that seamlessly and creatively blends genres into a brilliant whole.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Fez
    A deep and involving Metroidvania in a superbly constructed world. Fez's appearance on handheld is just as intriguing as when it first hit consoles and computers.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Perfection! is a decently challenging puzzle game that will leave you seeing dots and arrows for some time.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A brilliant, breathtaking, and brief adventure, Monument Valley is every bit as good as it looks.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    What little game there is here is pretty enjoyable, but Here Be Monsters HD is a lot less than the sum of its potential parts.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you're up for another round of card battling fare, or want to experience the genre with a Star Wars skin, then go for your life, but Star Wars: Assault Team is otherwise rather forgettable.
