This is yet another good installment of the series after it found the right way years ago. It has not many new features and seems to be focused in improving some things, but it lacks some freshness, despite the new WWE Universe mode.

The very same game we know, being this both positive and negative. We need to mention that the control is harder on iDevices, but it's not a bad choice if you want to relive this controversial classic.

Unfortunately the game hasn't got any new elements in comparison with the previous ones, and it doesn't allow online play, a feature which Beautiful Katamari had, and was really addictive.

It improves certain aspects of the original and it still is a good game, there's no doubt about it. Still, if you've played the original version buying it depends on personal and economical choices.

LIT is a very interesting puzzle game, with a gameplay premise which turns it into a very remarkable proposal within the WiiWare portfolio.

It's charming, well planned and its atmosphere and gameplay won't let you go until you finish it up.

A breathtaking, ambitious free-to-play open-world action RPG steeped in wuxia tradition, it impresses with its vast world, depth and production values but feels confusing due to bloated UI and weak storytelling, and its microtransactions remain cosmetic. Although it’s not for everyone, it’s hard to ignore as a long-term service.

Nothing new or surprising here, but it does work. It's simple and addictive, visually stunning and an universal app. We can't tell if it's going to be a new hit, but it has all the ingredients to become one.

This is a great surprise, and we've really enjoyed our time with it. It is true, however, its formula gets old after a few hours, but considering its price, it's a good choice.

Scott Pilgrim EX delivers satisfying beat 'em up combat and a breathtaking pixel art aesthetic. However, its small world map and repetitive exploration hold it back from greatness. Although the soundtrack and character variety excel, the unbalanced progression system and lack of replayability prevent it from reaching the heights of the studio's previous masterclasses.

However, its progression feels uninspired, and menu presentation, translation, and musical score exhibit a notable lack of polish, detracting from an otherwise nostalgic journey.

Amplitude is a gift for the nostalgic, with a limited budget resulting in a limited tracklist. If you're ok with this, then Amplitude still is as good as it was.

A game that shines, but needs to be quickly polished for Funcom to establish it as one of the great games of the genre.

If Funcom can achieve a good pace of updates, with new content and enhancements, this secret world can live for years.

Princess Peach: Showtime! aims to introduce young players to gaming with its friendly, accessible, and varied gameplay, featuring different genres. However, it suffers from oversimplification, diluting the experience, especially evident in its lack of depth and overly basic mechanics. Despite this, it offers enjoyable moments, particularly in levels like Peach Thief, with a well-paced rhythm, collectibles, varied gameplay, fantastic presentation, and an excellent soundtrack.
