So The Quest Keeper falls just short of the heights that Crossy Road reaches, but it's a perfectly valuable game in its own right. It's a ton of fun, it kept me coming back to it again and again to try and get both high scores and to complete quests, and I got to outrun a bunch of spiders.

It's odd to say that a gorgeous game like Last Voyage can be shallow, but it kind of is, albeit in an interesting way. I think I enjoyed it, and I'm trying to be vague so that if you're intrigued enough, I have not ruined the surprises. I'm not quite sure how I feel, still!. It's not quite sasitfying, but not without merit. It's a gorgeous experience even if I missed the point of it all!. I'm conflicted, and maybe that's why you should play Last Voyage, because it'll make you think and be confused while also being impressed at it?

The lack of urgency and dread and overall anxiousness of how much longer I can make my run go is ultimately Corridor Z's biggest downfall, and holds back what is an otherwise great take on a tired formula. Two tired formulas, in fact. It's a game that I'll without a doubt keep going back to, I just wish a school full of the undead was a little more frightening.

I think that this shouldn't be the first clicker you play. Bitcoin Billionaire [Free] remains my favorite clicker, if only because it embraced the absurdity of the genre. I like the attempts to add complexity, but CivCrafter takes it to its logical extreme. It's a stupid and clever idea, but perhaps this is where we should end the ride for the genre. This game is impressive in scope, but, what else can you do with the clicker genre after this?

I'm sure I'll still be playing this for a long time to come, but I can't help but feel the developer put too little focus on making it a better game than Injustice as opposed to making it a more profitable one.

The drop off in pace from Iron Age to Classical Age was too sharp as it felt like I'd suddenly run out of things to do, but otherwise this is a solid game with exceptionally high production values and a fair free-to-play system.

But in my somewhat old age, I also can recognize a stinker of a licensed game versus one that I enjoy on its own merits. Some of the Adventure Time games are hit or miss, for example. But with Attack the Light, Grumpyface delivered a fantastic RPG that anyone can enjoy.

Regardless, MLB Manager 2015 is a solid game that can provide killer value, and you can't expect a baseball game to dramatically change on a year-to-year basis. I just would love to see more iteration to make this the five-star baseball simulator that it could be. But still, what other choice do you have?

I'm only sad that iOS gamers won't get to see the next step in that improvement with the series shifting over to computers exclusively, but given how much this game seems to be bursting at the tech seams already, I guess I can't blame them. That shouldn't dissuade you from picking up this superb stand-alone gem, however.

Even with all of its flaws, however, the game behind the nostalgia is an excellent one, and the sheer quality of the production values combined with the wonderful love shown to the license make this a great pick-up for platforming fans.
