    Utterly phenomenal. Tearaway is inventive and joyous in equal measures, making for one of the best adventures this year, on any platform.

    • 80 Critic Score
    An attractive and vast racing simulator that largely holds its own against the Real Racing series, but which requires an awful lot of hard work (or expenditure) to make any progress with.

    A hugely entertaining shooter that works brilliantly on touchscreen, Neon Shadow is a must-buy for anyone who likes a blast.

    Monsters Rising is eccentric, repetitive, attractive, and fussy - often all at once. It's interesting and often enjoyable, but flawed.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A technically superb port of an excellent fighting game, the absense of modes to practise in and lack of caveats for new players will sadly confine this to a niche audience.

    Football Manager Handheld 2014 remains the best football management game on iOS, but it’s a big fish in a small pond.

    The controls for Deadly Bullet take some getting used to. But once you get the hang of things, you'll be immersed in bullet time.

    A mixed bag of brilliance and frustration, Super Lemonade Factory 2 is still worth a look.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Whether or not you believe WayForward is an indie saviour for the Nintendo 3DS, there's no denying that Regular Show is the studio's worst release.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Dark Day LA offers anarchic asymmetrical gameplay for two, but it's a slight offering.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Move over Candy Crush Saga, the crown for fast-paced puzzling crown now rightfully belongs to Papa Pear.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite a bland single-player experience, Dead on Arrival 2's multiplayer is just enough to make it worth a look.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    An average slingshot physics game spoiled by a pitiful fantasy veneer and an irritating freemium payment structure
    • 91 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A Link Between worlds is old fashioned Zelda fun with some clever new gimmicks, but it's too easy, straightforward, and familiar for a full recommendation.
    • 74 Metascore

    There's a solid touchscreen shooter here, but Epoch 2 doesn't quite hit the right marks.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    By sticking to its core dot-dodging components while simultaneously refreshing its riotous arsenal, Tilt to Live 2: Redonkulous proves a fine complement to the original
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The beautiful, adventurous, and lengthy Oceanhorn is a strong stand-in for The Legend of Zelda on iOS, but don't expect it to top the real deal in any respect.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Lego The Lord of the Rings for iOS costs a fraction of its home console counterpart, and it's a fraction of the game, but it's a decent single-player introduction to the Lego franchise.

    A great iOS port of a brilliant platform-puzzler, Stealth Inc is well worth your attention.

    • 40 Critic Score
    Astro Boy Dash is a sub-par endless running game that does a disservice to one of manga's most beloved heroes.
    • 84 Metascore

    Like Sudoku with pretty pictures, Paint it Back turns logic puzzles into works of art.
    • 78 Metascore

    Muramasa Rebirth is gorgeous, action packed, and regularly delightful, but its charm cannot entirely compensate for its repetitive nature.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A bit of good fun that's let down by its ambition for innovation. Still, it's worthwhile if you're a fan of the series, but it's probably best enjoyed with the 3D off.

    A grindy single-player experience, Meltdown really comes to life if you play it with other people.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    NinJump Rooftops literally takes over where NinJump leaves off, and it's an equally fun, if familiar, experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Symmetrain is an efficient and novel casual puzzler, but the going is a little slow and the scenery is a little repetitive.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Drei is a clever take on an old formula - assuming you can find someone to play it with, that is.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A consummately executed physics racer with a chunky Minecraft aesthetic and an irresistible just-one-more-go factor, Blocky Roads provides quite a ride.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Spirit Stones is a solid puzzle-battle game, but progression is difficult if you don't want to spend money on new cards and stamina refills.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A rip-off of Plants vs. Zombies which boasts new ideas but sadly lacks the conviction to employ them effectively, Asterix: Total Annihilation fails to do justice to the long-running character.
