    An intriguing mix of genres that gel together brilliantly, Bardbarian is a breath of fresh air.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A flat, generic experience, Across Age 2 is reasonably enjoyable, but it doesn't do enough to justify giving it too much attention.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    You'll be talking about the online leaderboards in OlliOlli for weeks, and probably grumbling quietly about the imprecise controls while you do it.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Tank Riders 2 is an accomplished casual blaster with an invitingly chunky world in which to trundle around, but its thirsty IAP system spoils the mayhem.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The combat here is good fun, and it's presented well, but technical issues and no multiplayer damages its long-term appeal.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    RoboCop is an inoffensive target shooter very loosely based on the movie of the same name.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Safe Cracker is an enjoyable, if repetitive, reflex-based puzzle game that would benefit from a single asking price instead of offering pieces of itself through in-app purchases.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A rich and rewarding puzzler full of neat ideas, Lost Yeti is well worth searching out.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Rhythm Thief & the Paris Caper is a near-perfect rhythm game held back only by its persistent social integration and always-on connectivity requirements.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ferris Mueller's Day off is a collection of thoughtful and finely tuned puzzles, surrounded by atrocious cartoon art and abysmal reference humour.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An incredibly rich and detailed experience, but the control requires far more finesse than a touchscreen offers, and the experience is often as frustrating as it is fun.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A vibrant, fast-paced, special platformer that works perfectly on touchscreen, Shadow Blade is well worth as much of your time as you have to spare.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Magnetized isn't quite up there with the best of its challenging ultra-modern kind, but it's a worthwhile and novel casual game nonetheless.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While it's a great port of the engine, Beben III doesn't have the controls to recommend it as a game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    More exciting than the real-life racing sets on which it is based, Rail Racing is a surprisingly stern test of your driving skills, but the focus on in-app purchases is unfortunate.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A deeply enjoyable if plain and somewhat miserly casual arcade racer that nails the feeling of zipping through traffic at high speeds.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Frustrating at times, but saved by a clever concept, smart design, and the simple fact that it's entirely free.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A muddled mess of a game that wastes its licence, Hot Wheels World's Best Driver is one to avoid.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fresh and attractive casual tower defence game that benefits from the sharp interplay between its various units.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Despite the occasional stutters, Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder is a uniquely enjoyable game that will test your creativity from start to finish.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A sad and sloppy platformer with little to recommend it, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project is best left to the annals of history.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    An incredible, ever-changing blend of dungeon-crawling and tactical puzzles, Hoplite may lack a little longevity but it's impressively entertaining while it lasts.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Archangel is a well-crafted dungeon-crawler with a handful of nice touches, but it could use a little more spark and imagination in its world design and core gameplay.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    High quality presentation, an intriguingly deep alliance system, and plenty of options for tactical play make Galaxy on Fire - Alliances a superb take on the strategy management genre.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A shooter that's a lot more hit than miss, Battle Supremacy has enough going for it to keep you playing for a good long while.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    simian.interface is a stylish and mildly interesting game that will appeal to avant-garde gamers but probably won't satisfy anybody looking for a substantial puzzle game experience.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While you might scratch your head at some of the puzzles, Lost Toys is an odd mish-mash of ideas and themes that never quite gels together into an entertaining experience.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Runner2 is a brilliant sequel and every bit as system-throwingly punishing as the original. Spot-on controls, online leaderboards, and plenty of content seal the deal.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Joe Danger Infinity is another top auto-runner from Hello Games with style and bucketloads of content, but it's way too similar to last year's offering.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you missed out on this unique puzzle-platform game when it hit the PlayStation Vita, here's your chance for a trip through the underworld.
