    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A clever locked-box puzzler that will entertain throughout its brief running time, though the signposting and art direction aren't always as strong as they need to be for such a precise genre.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A standard card-battler with a shooting gallery element tacked on, Deadman's Cross doesn't do enough to distinguish it from other titles, but what it does do, it does well enough.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A sharp and entertaining mix of puzzles and speed, Loco Motors is definitely worth some attention.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dark Guardians's challenging pace and lack of in-app purchases make it one of the more appealing endless-runners available.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Hailed as a solid-gold classic back in 1994, Little Big Adventure hasn't quite stood the test of time, and this port is hamstrung by ropey controls.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a predictably uninspired action RPG with too little strategic scope and a half-hearted multiplayer element tacked on.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It might not be a game you'll want to play in public, but Deception IV is a unique puzzler that's as dark as it is satisfying.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It has some shocking flaws, but Skater Cat is still just about good enough to be worth a recommendation.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Quest of Dungeons is a solid but unremarkable roguelike that'll keep you engaged for a few hours but not much more.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A beautiful and tactile toy as much as anything else, Shu's Garden promises much for this developer's second - or should that be first - game.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A treat for the eyes and ears, The Collectables mixes top-notch presentation with rote but enjoyable gameplay to good effect.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A rich evocation of the wonders of Westeros, marred slightly by an overly light strategy model and significantly by egregious free-to-play elements.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Prime World: Defenders is tower defence-meets-card collecting. And while there's plenty of meat on the bones, some irksome issues take the shine off things slightly.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Boom Beach isn't a gigantic leap forward for the genre, but it's enough of an improvement over the competition to warrant further investigation.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With its winning mix of puzzles and courtroom craziness, it doesn't take a genius to see that picking this game up is a no-brainer.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A solid and often challenging puzzle game. Its simplistic mechanics aren't varied enough to sustain long-term interest, though.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    oO
    While oO may have a certain something, it misses that 'one more go' feel that so many twitch-based games emanate, leaving frustration in its wake.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A great-looking sci-fi shooter that sacrifices depth in order to play out a particularly cinematic brand of space battle.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Cardinal Quest 2 does most things perfectly well, but it doesn't carve out enough of an identity for itself to really stand out.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It might not be a challenge, but there's something eminently likeable about Globlins that manages to make it worthwhile.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Word Puttz's free-to-play formula might rankle with word game purists, but if you're looking for casual, light-hearted word play, you'll find it under the sea.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A deeply generic and uninvolving pirate-themed shooting gallery that's destined to flounder in a vast sea of similar apps.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Echo: A Music Game has the faintest whisper of a good idea, but it's marred by simplicity, repetition, and the most annoying wait timer in the history of games.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Cubit lives up to its title as being hard to the core. It's a neat little platformer, but expect little more.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    One of the best Final Fantasy games, now with high definition visuals.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A solid and well-presented light strategy game that lacks a little in terms of overall play time.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The story it tells still has the ability to intrigue, and I certainly felt compelled to see it through to at least two of its endings. But when I turned over the final page, 999: The Novel felt like a rough first draft of a promising story rather than an expertly polished final edit.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    With some retooling and rebalancing, Amber Halls could have a long future as a roguelike exemplar for folks that frequently find themselves stuck in queues.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fast-paced, sometimes repetitive but never boring blaster, TriBlaster is definitely worth a shot.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Braveland does a lot of things perfectly adequately, and it's sometimes pretty fun, but that's not really enough to make it stand out.
