    Tiny Tower Vegas
    Fans of Tiny Tower will love this Vegas sequel and for others I’d advocate checking it out.

    INKS.
    INKS. is a clever spin on one of the oldest concepts in electronic gaming. Much of the cleverness is admittedly tied up in the visuals, but it is interesting to play a pinball game where you aren't trying to rack up a high score, I suppose.

    Milkmaid of the Milky Way
    If you want to spend a little bit of time in an interesting world, play Milkmaid of the Milky Way. Developer Mattis Folkestad has put forth a tremendous solo effort here into a charming game that's worth your time.

    Avengers Initiative
    Granted, Initiative is a perfectly capable Infinity Blade clone for folks that are fans of the Marvel universe. However, for everyone else there's really nothing here from a gameplay perspective that hasn't been seen before or implemented better.

    Final Fantasy VII
    As for the game itself, you can love it, you can hate it, and I've certainly done both over the last 18 years, but however you rank it in the overall series, I feel like it's hard to argue against it being a really good JRPG.

    Blot
    Blot blows most of its competition out of the water with style alone. It's delightful, plain and simple, and when given the choice between equally solid games, I'll take the one that delights me any day.

    Galaxy of Pen & Paper
    The core design of Galaxy of Pen & Paper represents a solid improvement over the original game. It has more new ideas and executes on them better than Knights of Pen & Paper 2 did. The production values feel a lot higher, too. Overall, you can feel the years of gained experience between the game that made Behold's name and their return to the brand. I just wish they would allocate more points into their bug-busting and difficulty balancing skills. I suppose it says something that even with its flaws, I still think RPG fans definitely ought to check this one out.

    Pulse : Volume One
    Ultimately, if you're looking for strong gameplay hooks and replayability, Pulse:Volume One won't hit those notes for you. But if you're interested in elegant rhythm gameplay and an immersive audio-visual experience, you'll find lots to enjoy.

    Fast & Furious: Legacy
    What we've got here is a well-designed, beautiful game with great controls.

    Nano Panda
    Even with the trial-and-error style gameplay, Nano Panda does a good job of taking the increasingly standard, single screen, star based physics puzzler and adding in enough innovation to keep you entertained.

    Guitar Hero Live
    Heck, you don't have to pay anything if you don't want to, as the damn thing is free if you just want to try it out first. And you should, because it really is Guitar Hero on iOS, and that's pretty awesome.

    Reckless Getaway
    Pixelbite and Polarbit have succeeded in bringing some of the best aspects of Reckless Racing into Reckless Getaway while offering a very different gameplay experience.

    BATTLE BEARS -1
    The amount of carnage on screen as you hurl rockets at a swarm of brightly colored bears can hardly be described, and the action in Battle Bears -1 is intense.

    Solomon's Keep
    The game is so much fun you'll want to go through it multiple times, which gives you a chance to expand your character in different ways each time.

    The Secret of Chateau de Moreau
    If you love Phoenix Wright, this purchase is an absolute no-brainer – just do it.

    Monster Island
    With its imaginative art style, large amount of content and decent gameplay, Monster Island is definitely worth checking out for any puzzle aficionados looking for a new title.

    Aiko Island
    Strikingly imaginative.

    Ninja Pong
    Ninja Pong is a simple game. But like many arcade classics, it inspires a desire to improve that will keep it entertaining long after you've seen all it has to offer.

    Oh! Edo Towns
    If you're a fan of Japanese history, as I am, you are sure to have a soft spot for this one.

    Battle Nations
    Freemium done well, offering more entertainment for your download than most of its competition.

    Hero Academy
    Hero Academy is a simple game, and it does what it's built to do very, very well.

    Wonderputt
    If you're the guy or gal with the fancy iPad 2 or 3, Wonderputt is one of those sharp apps you just have to show everyone and will definitely earn a few cool points in doing so.

    Deep Dungeons of Doom
    Rather, Deep Dungeons of Doom takes the meth dealer's route to revenue generation: the first taste is always free. But you'll come crawling back with open purse strings when you reach the end of your dose. Consider the free download a lengthy trial period. But don't worry, it's got enough meat to sink three bucks worth of teeth into.

    Trouserheart
    I didn't have a bad time with Trouserheart. The premise was silly fun, it wrapped up in an amusing way, and it's not offensive to play by any means. That said, it's very light on content and substance in general, with simple, shallow gameplay, limited character building options, and a small number of stages.

    Til Morning's Light
    Not essential, but if you pick it up, it'll be perfectly fine.

    Ski Safari 2
    The addition of tricks, a neat little camera mode, and local multiplayer are also pretty welcome, and for only two dollars I see this as an easy recommend--especially if you never played the first one.

    PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist
    The level designs are a little loose at times, and if you're not interested in clearing every difficulty level or unlocking extras, it's over a bit quickly, but overall, I think it's a pretty enjoyable romp.

    Punch Club
    At the end of the day, Punch Club is pretty awesome, and it uses nostalgia creatively.

    Tsuro
    If you like your board games with some wine on the side and a shot of zen relaxation, Tsuro should hit the spot.

    Primordia
    Some of the puzzles in Primordia can be really hard to figure out logically, which is one of the bad ways it can feel old-school. Some people may not resonate with the setting or some elements of the story, and those are such a big factor in this genre that it always needs to be considered. Other than those things, I’m hard-pressed to find too many things to complain about here. This Switch version handles the controls as you would expect. You can move the cursor around with the stick or use touch controls. Adventure game fans should enjoy it quite a bit, but be ready to get a little frustrated with some puzzles that feel borderline farcical in their design.
