    • 68 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Roll Back Home has a daring and arresting visual style. Boring and irritating gameplay, however, means this is the worst waste of paper since the Daily Mail.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dudeski is a fast and fun ski sim that's loaded with charm. This game's twitchy challenge is enough to keep you coming back for more.

    • 70 Critic Score

    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Surgeon Simulator is hilarious, fresh, and oddly satisfying, but it's just a little to slap dash and shallow for its own good.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fun, if curiously uninspired, entry in the Yoshi's Island series, featuring superb art and sound, but very few new gameplay ideas.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score

    A simple, cathartic on-rails pinball shooter, Smash Hit doesn't have much to offer beyond its initial mechanics, but it's still pretty fun.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Trolls vs Vikings features great visuals and it has heart, but its familiarity and panhandling for in-app purchases may cause you to balk.
