    • 80 Critic Score
    An exciting Monster Hunter-shaped loot-fest that the Vita's been sorely missing.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An immediately fun multiplayer scrapper that requires an injection of depth and content if it's to remain on your playlist.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not perfect, but Word Mage mostly does justice to its appealing concept. And if 'Boggle-meets-RPG' appeals to you in the slightest, then you won't regret your purchase.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Not for the casuals, Dual Survivor is a puzzle game that requires quick reflexes and limitless reserves of patience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An intriguing mash of ideas with a sometimes jarring rhythm, Caveman Wars is definitely worth a second look.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A slightly scattered action game with an interesting strategic sideline, Bug Heroes 2 gets a little lost in itself sometimes, but it's still worth a crack.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Super 4 is a generic-looking puzzler that conceals a wealth of depth and playability beneath its uninspiring facade.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Return of the Heroes is plagued by bad controls, a bad translation, and a suggestion that you're supposed to spend money if you really want to get ahead.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A convoluted selection of puzzle mini-games with lots of surface variety, but not a lot of substance beneath
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A sluggish, un-fun endless-runner that adds little to the template, Riot Runners is better off avoided.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Jelly Love dishes up some cute graphics, but it's match-three gameplay has been done and done. You may also find yourself squinting at the similarly coloured game pieces.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It has a decent central core, but Dandelions: Chain of Seeds doesn't quite join all of its parts together well enough to really shine.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    You have to play Coldfire Keep on its own terms, but if you accept that then you'll find a challenging but rewarding RPG.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Oquonie is beautiful, unique, surreal, arch, and difficult in at least two senses of the word. Only gamers with a fondness for the avant-garde should bother.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A fine take on a classic style of fast-paced gameplay, made slow and dull by a clumsy use of free-to-play.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A gorgeous, engrossing experience, but it's too straightforward, too brief, and too slow to be an essential adventure.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    One of the simplest games you're ever likely to play, Luminous strips casual iOS gaming back to its bare bones, but is tough to truly love as a result.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Any Landing's fly-by-the-seat-of-its-pants gameplay is both fun and challenging, but structurally it's a bit of a mess.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Doodle Kingdom doesn't deviate far from Doodle God's original formula, but the addition of fantasy elements and new sub-quests is entertaining.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fresh take on the match-some puzzler genre, Stubies is well worth a look.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    R-Type II provides yet more old-school shmup action with vital controller support and a particularly masochistic streak.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Grandpa and the Zombies is an engaging puzzle game that works the part of your body that zombies covet most.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A light but fun and well-presented game that struggles under the weight of gratuitous IAPs.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An interesting idea in a solid package, Draw Slasher doesn't quite have the skills to really entice you in for more.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Episode 2 isn't as well written or sharply plotted as the pilot, and your choices feel more hollow than ever. Telltale's got its work cut out if it wants to restore the season's energy.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It might be a bumpy ride in some places, but Super Obstacle Boy offers enough of a platforming challenge that it's difficult not to get swept away by it.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A brilliantly paced, sharp-edged brawler that isn't afraid of a bit of silliness. Only One is well worth a play.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Going free-to-play means Dungelot 2 is compelled to repeatedly dangle in-app purchases in front of the player, but the impeccable presentation and addictive gameplay ensure that it's still better than the original.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sure, Game of War - Fire Age isn't a great game, but the people playing it are an entertaining bunch indeed.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A challenging game, albeit one with a short life span, On The Line is an entertaining diversion.
