    • 60 Critic Score
    A standard gacha RPG that suffers from the same issues as the genre in general, so will only appeal to those that already like it and Game of Thrones.

    Atari returns to one of its classic franchises for the first time in over a decade to deliver a faithful revival. The old gameplay has aged well, but screams to be revamped and reinvented, neither of which you’ll find in Missile Command: Recharged.

    • 70 Critic Score
    A tight and surprisingly strategic shooter with an entertaining '80s arcade visual style that features disappointing and overly complex touch controls.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    With a touch of endless runner, a dash of MMO, and just a sprinkling of puzzles, Sky: Children of the Light soars to lofty heights.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A solid mobile port of a great multiplayer experience that's slightly hampered by iffy touch controls and unremarkable visuals.

    • 90 Critic Score
    With outstanding presentation, short bursts of addictive gameplay, and fair microtransactions, you really can't do much better than Gumslingers for a decent time-waster.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Legends of Runeterra might be the best deck-builder on mobile, but the grind and hard to access champions, leave it falling just short.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A fun mobile racer that suffers from balance issues and a lack of innovation.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A feature-complete kart racer with excellent multiplayer out of the box and clever avoidance of off-putting pay-to-win mechanics.

    SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-off looks fantastic, but even the presentation can't distract from a lack of genuine gameplay.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Kingdom: Two Crowns can occasionally be a little frustrating, but on the whole it is impressive how much it gets done with so little.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A charming Sims-lite with an admirable level of polish and attention to detail.

    It’s full of charm, with gorgeous hand-painted visuals that bring your growing little café to life. The gameplay portion is challenging, without proving frustrating, and strikes the right balance between forcing you to spend and allowing you to complete levels using your skill alone. Suffice to say, if you like Pokémon and you like puzzlers, you’ll adore Pokémon Café Mix.

    A sure pick for any who want an excellent resource management game or to live out their vicarious fantasies of starship captaincy.

    A cute idea muddled by complex terminology, Randonautica is a novel experience if you're willing to stick with it.

    I love Stellaris, but I feel like Galaxy Command is too crowded to really capture the essence of what makes the original so special.

    With a gripping story, fantastic visuals, and smart card play, Thronebreaker has finally found its true home.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A feature-complete version of MudRunner on mobile, which pares back the visuals and introduces touch controls to make it work on the small screen, with mixed results.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Tales of Crestoria is a gorgeous and highly-polished Gacha RPG that's marred by incredibly greedy microtransactions.

    V4
    V4 might be the best autoplay MMORPG on mobile, but a lack of innovation and systems refinement means it's not a tempting enough prospect to give up on whatever you're already playing to start fresh.

    On the whole, CrossFire: Warzone is a smart little base-builder, which, though still complicated, showcases its elements well, providing a paced introduction to the game. But it still feels like behind that tutorial, those characters, and even the cheesiness, there is a power grind present. Sure, it’s not as blunt as many other of its peers, but when power level becomes the primary deciding component of RTS battles, most meaningful strategy is negated. I think, because of that, Warzone won’t ever be more than a casual bit of fun I might dip into from time-to-time. But that’s not to say you won’t feel differently – there’s a fair bit to like in CrossFire: Warzone.

    WST Snooker does a lot of things right. The commentary, ball physics, and skill needed to pot a ball are realistic and wonderfully designed. The problem is snooker is not for everyone, which means WST Snooker is not for a mainstream audience. If you are a fan of snooker, or a pool player looking for a serious challenge, this is a must-play. If you like to pick up and play a game for a couple of minutes, then this is probably not the game for you.

    Eve Echoes succeeds in channeling the classic Eve experience, while also streamlining for new players, bringing the game to a platform well-suited for its idle elements.

    The Bonfire 2 expands on the original with new RTS-style gameplay, but manages to maintain what made the series great in the first place.

    Though it's a very difficult expansion, Tides of Oblivion is a great side story for Pascal's Wager.

    Meteorfall: Krumit's Tale is roguelike deck building at its best - quirky, inventive, and most of all, fun.

    Overall, Elite Squad does follow a familiar gameplay loop; particularly for those that already play Marvel Strike Force. However, we thoroughly recommend Elite Squad, not just to Tom Clancy fans, but to those that are looking for a gacha RPG that offers something a little different. Battles are actually something to look forward to here, rather than something you just get out of the way to earn the reward.

    Overall, can I recommend this game to you? If you have been looking forward to replaying this game from your Gamecube days, then I would hold off until Square Enix provides controller support or better touch controls. However, the game is a free trial, so you can just play the free section and then decide if it’s worth the money.

    Uncharacteristic of developer OrangePixel, Space Grunts 2 is a sequel that’s relatively tame on genre innovation. It stands as a serviceable roguelike deck builder in a world where excellent ones like Slay the Spire exist.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A classic game and a well-designed adaptation, but solo play lacks long-term challenge.
