Dreamland Solitaire: Dragon’s Fury only represents a tiny step forward.
Michael Kitchin writes, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants does not breathe easy outside of an arcade setting. The short campaign loses any risk when you're given plentiful lives at the start of each stage. Whilst the new areas are welcome, they don't make the package feel any more complete. In the comforts of home, every imperfection comes into stark realisation. The slim presentation, the decent but ultimately safe combat and the overall small package makes this tough to recommend."
Review: Another Crab's Treasure is a cutesy soulslike adventure set under the sea, with accessibility options making it playable by all.
