The WhatsNext verdict

If you enjoy rapid-fire arcade challenges and chasing high scores in short sessions, this is a particularly strong fit. Players wanting a longer campaign or constant new content may find the format wears thin once the surprises are gone.

What it does best

  • A radically fresh format built from tiny games

  • Perfectly shaped for quick bursts

  • Chasing one more high score never gets old

  • Instantly readable despite its manic pace

What might put you off

  • The core novelty fades after you have seen the microgames

  • The main campaign is extremely short

The setup
