    As much as I am enjoying Kelly and Suited Up, my vote went to Wayward Souls. Maybe it's the predictable choice, but damn, this is IOS' Dark Souls, just as challenging and just as compelling. A definite GOTY contender

    Leo's Fortune gets my vote. The amount of polish and personality present in the little fluffball is amazing.

    Very tough week for me with Wayward Souls and Kelly. But Leos Fortune gets my vote, amazing game

    Weeks like this make me love iOS gaming more and more, a couple of classic games this week, cant complain!

    Leo´s Fortune is a benchmark for iOS. Every single aspect of the game is perfectly polished to give you a touching experience that is only matched by games like Limbo, Monument Valley, Swords & Sworcery or Bastion for example, games where attention to detail and craftsmanship are in service of a flawless gameplay full on experience, with no blank filling whatsoever. Leo´s Fortune leave the bar very high for the platformer genre on iOS, and when you finish it -3 starring every level is going to be so tough-, you are left wanting a lot more, and this, my friends are the signs of a one of a kind game, one that sticks into the gamers heart and dont let go. One of the contenders of the year and my weekly Game of the Week.

    You definitely do. Voice acting and the story unfold here are worth the 5$ alone. What an amazing 2014 so far... and its only late April... Out There, Threes, Leo´s Fortune, Wayward Souls, Darkin,...

    People say this sort of thing every year; I can't tell if iOS gaming really is getting better - or if even being familiar with the format we under estimate it sometimes.
     
  18. Wayward souls is awesome.

    But Suited Up needs some love too. Same with Kelly.

    People here seems to be over hyped by Wayward souls and didn't even bother to play other new releases. Including me :)
