Retro review: Cut the Rope

Cut the Rope title screen

Just a few days ago, one of the best games on the App Store turned 9 years old. I'm talking about the famous and addictive Cut the Rope. A cute puzzle game that was first released for the iPhone back on October 4th, 2010.

These days the game has grown into a franchise, with seven games available for you to play, each filled with a bunch of levels, new mechanics and better graphics. So, with a lot of new games at hand, should you still be playing the original Cut the Rope? Let's see what our experts say (well, me, anyway) in today's retro review.

Arcade review: Tangle Tower

Just last week I was talking about the lack of mystery games on the App Store. And now, thanks to the release of Apple Arcade, we're starting to see more of these types of games. Murder mysteries filled with puzzles, a good story, and a bunch of lies.

This is the case of Tangle Tower, a mystery game where the main murder suspect is a painting. Interesting, right? Well, get ready as we help Detective Grimoire and Sally with the mystery of Freya Fellow's murder.

Retro review: World of Goo

World of Goo is not your regular videogame. Instead of having some overpowered bosses and enemies, you have goo. Instead of complicated controls and gimmicks, you have goo. And instead of having a good story, well, I think you see where I'm going with this. But they do give you a good story.

It may seem like a weird idea at first, but back in the day World of Goo was extremely popular. And it was even nominated for several awards, including an Innovation Design award at the Independent Games Festival.

These are different times, though. Games have evolved and they're more complicated now, even on mobile. So a simple game about Goo is still entertaining? Let's find out in today's retro review.
