Clouds & Sheep 2 is a rather funny effort. Simple, colourful and good for quick distractions, especially if children are around, it has a good dose of amusing action. It's certainly no hardcore, in-depth experience and amidst quick and simple games there are more elaborate options on the Nintendo Switch but those who just want to poke and throw some sheep will be thankful for Clouds & Sheep 2.

Demon Pit is an action-packed and simple 1990s-reminiscent shooter that will revive memories of times when games were less complex. The game does a good job at creating a good, retro-inspired environment and at providing a captivating experience. Nonetheless, Demon Pit would certainly benefit from the use of motion controls. as well as from being able to turn off its default auto-aim option.

If My Heart Had Wings stands out as one of the best visual novels in the Nintendo Switch, thanks to its marvelous audiovisual environment, emotional story and character development. While its progression might feel too slow for less experienced players and the possibility of using the touch screen would certainly be very welcome, If My Heart Had Wings knows how to transmit feelings and to hold the player's attention for long periods of time.

What can be said about Beast Quest? The game might not be very ambitious but even then it's hard to find any redeeming factors. With its simplistic plot and terrible epilogue, short length, technical performance issues and very high selling price, there's very little to this adventure game that can amuse, entertain or even remotely interest any kind of player. Perhaps some technical revisions could improve on its performance issues and make the experience gain some degree of interest but as it is, Beast Quest is better left alone.

Spirit Hunter: NG seems like a perfect match for the Nintendo Switch. Whether played on a large screen or as a handheld game, it's successful in transmitting an ambiance of horror that will keep the players on their toes, aided by the game's plot and audiovisual environment which together build a world filled with restlessness and fear.

Where this work turns out to be less impressive is on the variable quality of some of its writing, which doesn't keep a constant level, and some of its endings turn out to be rather puzzling. While this is no obstacle for those who enjoy visual novels, the lack of touchscreen support is difficult to justify on a system like the Nintendo Switch.

Thea: The Awakening brings the background to less covered topics, with the Slavic mythology acting as the overarching theme instead of the cliché Norse or medieval settings, and that's something to praise. What Thea doesn't get right is that by trying to be too many things at the same time, it doesn't quite succeed at any of them and the result is a game that while not without its value, often feels too overloaded, with mechanics that trample each other. Nonetheless, Thea still has something going for it, it just doesn't fully materialize.

Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout begins a new trilogy in the Atelier series and this new chapter is a crowning achievement under the Atelier name. With visible improvements in the combat system and the audiovisual environment, but also more accessible than previous entries in the series, Atelier Ryza puts the threshold at a higher level regarding what is yet to come for Atelier.

Guess the Word on the Nintendo Switch has been adapted from the mobile market and even though it presents itself as an educational game, its value as such a work is very limited. Short in content, with only one gaming mode and lacking in the very element it bases itself on, Guess the Word does not fulfill any of its objectives and will feel too limited and too short for everyone, including its target audience.

SIMULACRA does not play like the greatest work ever made but that doesn't mean there's nothing to draw from this mystery FMV adventure. While the gameplay feels rather shallow, the plot is compelling enough to keep the players entertained and involved with the hints and twists that are found along the way and the feeling of satisfaction when coming across a clue or reaching a different ending do help SIMULACRA to have some merit of its own.

FoxyLand does not try to reach new heights, it's a simple platformer that's not afraid to present itself as such and it's a competent game at what it does. While it may please those looking for a quick experience, its lack of depth, short lifespan and simplistic nature makes it less enjoyable on a longer term basis and those looking for a more involving experience should take their expectations elsewhere.

Probably the closest experience to an interactive literary short story, Distraint will stimulate the most unsettling feelings in every player that spends some time with it and thanks to its brilliant conjugation of plot, audiovisual environment and gameplay experience, this game is unquestionably an instant classic for the current generation.

Bee Simulator shows that it is possible to be both fun and educational in an effort that is fitting for players of all ages. While there are flaws to this experience, namely on the level of its too sensitive controls and rather lacklustre settings, the overall gameplay is relaxing and can provide some enjoyable albeit short time around a Nintendo Switch.

Where the Water Tastes Like Wine starts from an original and even intriguing concept - the idea of basing a gameplay experience on telling stories is nothing short of something fresh. Unfortunately the way it was translated into this game turned out to miss the mark and the result is an experience that despite its well written plot and interesting stories does not provide an engaging gameplay and will mostly lead to long, dull moments whenever stories are not being told.

With plenty of characters, customization options and simple controls, the game is easy to get into but alas, the feeling of repetitiveness settles in too quickly and this Nintendo Switch conversion does not do a brilliant job when it comes to handheld experiences. Furthermore, its online component is very sparsely populated due to the lack of cross-platform functionalities and the price/quality relation tends to fall towards the negative side.

Dead End Job is a twin-stick shooter which may strike a chord with a small group of enthusiasts, partly for its simple and fun combat mechanics, but unfortunately the game features way too much repetitive and dull action. Other than that, some of the items are real surprise boxes and the auto-aim feature can make everything more frustrating, which all contribute to make this a difficult game to truly enjoy.

The game features a pretty solid gameplay experience, a very good use of the HD Rumble feature and a remarkable amount of content to explore. Its roguelite component means the sections are always different, which can sometimes lead to errors in the procedure, and the exploration will force the players to use the map way too frequently but Sublevel Zero Redux has enough elements to appeal to both fans of the genre and beginners alike.

The Touryst, a relaxing adventure, if that's possible to do. An adventure with dungeons and puzzles in the background of a lovely summer holiday, with gorgeous graphics and a varied, relaxing gameplay is what comes in this package and it works remarkably well. The game is short and it skips the whole epic side of adventure games but The Touryst is definitely an exquisite gem which more than deserves a chance.

Jamestown+ is a Nintendo Switch conversion of one of the finest shoot'em-ups of its generation. With its addictive, frantic gameplay and fun cooperative mode, Jamestown+ is a delightful game but those who have already played it elsewhere will find only marginal benefits to the experience.

With plenty of content to explore, whether on the water or dry land, the sea-based battles remain addictive to this day and the inclusion of all additional content makes this package a wonderful gem for everyone who wants to return to Assassin's Creed or simply try it for the first time.

Northgard on the Nintendo Switch may be an indie game but that doesn't mean it's not an ambitious work. On the contrary, this immense real-time strategy game offers an almost endless value with its colossal exploration and empire-building mechanics and with an exquisite presentation and a perfectly crafted handheld experience, Northgard is essential for everyone who likes a good, enveloping RTS and anyone beyond that circle as well.

Rebel Cops was designed with fans of tactical action games in mind, namely those looking for new approaches to the genre - the game's open missions and incentives to take them in varied ways testifies to that. On the down side, its punitive and merciless difficulty risks alienating other audiences and a poor plot ends up harming the experience for those who enjoy some background story with their games.

A harrowing, claustrophobic, hair-raising adventure that leaves no stones unturned when it comes to its gameplay, visual environment, sound and plot. Alien: Isolation is an essential title for all the Nintendo Switch owners, and a doubly essential game for those looking for a proper horror experience.

Riverbond brings a fun experience that mostly shines on its co-op component. Thanks to its very simple and accessible mechanics and difficulty, this game is not meant to be seen as a tough challenge but rather as a relaxing, enjoyable work which stands out especially on multiplayer and which will quickly grab the players' attention.

The game's level of customization and how it welcomes the players certainly plays in its favour, even though its audiovisual environment is nothing to write home about and there's no online component. Still, Super Street: Racer does get some important points right and fans of arcade racing and customization will find some value in this game.

Children of Morta is a gem of a roguelike that often behaves like an action RPG and with its exquisite art style, simple but fun combat system and enormous variety of customization and character experimentation, it makes for a marvelous game that gets its job done in a very satisfying way. On top of that, it even features a wonderful co-op component.

While the action can get repetitive too fast and its difficulty level is a tad too artificial, the game is an overall fun experience with a good lifespan, especially on multiplayer up to four players, which is where Castle Crashers Remastered really shines.

The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors often feels like a tribute to the sidescrolling beat'em-ups of the 1980s and 1990s and it does a remarkably good job at that. With its cast of very distinct characters, a marvelous audio atmosphere and high quality animations, this remake and/or sequel will be unquestionably appreciated by beat'em-up fans (and beyond) and is easily one of the best games of its genre on the Nintendo Switch.

Cat Quest II is an action RPG filled with fun and well-humoured moments, featuring a colourful world and with a simple combat system and even if some sections can get repetitive and there's not much to do after the main campaign is over, this is an overall relaxing and welcome game that only adds another fun option to the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

WRC 8 lands on the Nintendo Switch in something which can be seen as a mixed bag. If the gameplay experience and the accuracy of the competition are something to praise, the game's version on the Switch is significantly below par and the performance is even more aggravated when played on the console's screen, while the lack of multiplayer is impossible to understand. A game that's mostly targeted at racing simulator purists but which might not appeal to everyone.

This space-based shoot'em-up is all about frantic action and while the experience is rather quick, there's quite a few customization options available and its gameplay mechanics are simple enough to provide something accessible to fans of space shooters. Those not too keen on the genre should look elsewhere, though, as this work caters almost exclusively to those who enjoy frantic shootings in space.

With its rich, colourful and varied world, an exquisite soundtrack and a slick gameplay, Sparklite is loaded with charming elements that will keep players exploring its world and its mechanics for long hours.

Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands puts a strong emphasis on aspects that most adventure and exploration RPGs don't touch upon, such as gathering resources, farming and cooking. If this aspect works well and gives the game a particular charm, there are other aspects where Stranded Sails does not stand out in the same way, namely its shallow combat and some repetitive moments.

EarthNight does not stray clear from its origins, this is a simple and unpretentious endless runner that originated in mobile platforms and it does a decent job at that. While the gameplay experience is rather limited and does not elevate EarthNight to any celestial levels, those who enjoy endless runners will find a good time with this work.

Neo Cab brings a visual novel about a grim story of unchecked corporate power to the Nintendo Switch. Overall, the result is quite positive and the game features relevant social commentary, well written dialogues and a series of varied and interesting characters. With a good incentive for players to return to the game, Neo Cab's main sin is that it's rather short in length and with a main plot that could be more developed.

Type:Rider is an original and even surprising experience. While not a classic action-platformer or even a classic puzzle game, Type:Rider's main assets are its originality, game design and informative character as it takes the player through a compact version of the history of typeface. Pity it cannot last longer and offer a more user-friendly format for its very informative texts.

Away: Journey to the Unexpected looks very promising at first and while it features a good mechanic of character bonding and some fun moments and a very good audiovisual environment, its plot is rather disappointing and the gameplay feels shallow. Overall, the game's experience is short of memorable and gives off the impression that this game could have gone much further.

As far as action RPGs go, Yaga is a simple but competent effort. Thanks to an intuitive gameplay and to its art style and plot, Yaga can certainly answer to those looking for a simple but fun experience. Pity that it cannot fulfill more of its potential, as its combat is too superficial and the exploration too linear, while its luck system needs a better calibration and the HD Rumble feature should be set aside altogether.

Reventure consists of a simple but by no means plain adventure which performs very well on the Nintendo Switch handheld format. While at first the adventure seems to follow a very standard formula, it soon becomes apparent that there's a lot more to Reventure than it looks at first and while the game doesn't stand out for its visual environment, its gameplay mechanics help it carve its own territory amidst its adventure game peers.

With a low selling price and a batch of creative, challenging bosses, Polyroll is too short and features a gameplay that sometimes ends up feeling unintuitive. Overall, Polyroll ends up in the middle of the road and doesn't particularly stand out amidst its peers.

For a game based on detective investigation in a noir background, Tokyo Dark Remembrance seems to have gotten off the track in several ways. There are good ideas here and the game's plot and soundtrack clearly stand out as two of its best assets but the execution has several flaws and its art style does not match the game's purpose. Tokyo Dark Remembrance is a mixed bag that needs polishing in several aspects but which is based on mostly right principles.

Into the Dead 2 may not have the most original premise but the game does a decent job at creating a grim, apocalyptic environment around itself. Nevertheless, and despite fun mechanics, the game is too much alike its original version for mobile devices and simply does not live up to what a Nintendo Switch game should be.

With a gameplay mechanic that forces players into deciding on ethical and moral dilemmas, an interesting and involving plot and a top notch presentation, We. The Revolution only suffers from some adaptation issues to the Nintendo Switch, as some of the controls are not intuitive and the size of the text font is too small for the Nintendo Switch screen.

Just Dance 2020 keeps the formula of the Just Dance series that so many people love and that's the game's main asset. It's also its biggest liability, as the game shows too little in terms of new, relevant content to stand out compared to its closest predecessors. This is a very fun game with new, updated tracks but for those who subscribe to the Just Dance Unlimited service, owning Just Dance 2020 will turn out to be redundant.

With a 1990s environment and some attempts at innovating an RPG's fighting system, YIIK has something to go for it, but unfortunately this gets rather lost in a game that is overall too frustrating and confusing. With its inconsistent art style and gameplay and a main character that's impossible to relate to, YIIK could have explored its real potential in a much more enjoyable way but as it is, it's mostly an unfulfilled work.

Seal the Deal does not revolutionize A Hat in Time and as a DLC, it's very short and its additional difficulty level doesn't always feel like it improves the experience. On the other hand, this DLC can be seen as a gift for Nintendo Switch players who so patiently waited for it, so on that note Seal the Deal is a welcome addition and should not be judged too harshly.

Valfaris does not have to make perfect sense to be a good game and while its plot is rather basic and its gameplay doesn't always feel perfectly fluid, there's enough to this chaotic action platformer with a sci-fi and heavy metal theme to make it stand out. Thanks to its marvelous visual environment, metal-based soundtrack and variety of action moments, Valfaris is nothing short of a fun delight for fans of absurd, violent and chaotic action.

Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast has the right to a Nintendo Switch version many years after its original release, but age does not affect this Star Wars classic in any negative way. While the initial part of the game is rather cumbersome, after thirty-something minutes the player will get a significant push into the spirit of the saga and the game's plot, light saber duels and soundtrack will make a splendorous job at fully inserting the fans into this work.

Raging Loop is a visual novel that stands out not just for its plot but for the way it is structured and how the player interacts with it. Some of the endings feel out of place and the game's art style falls short of expectations when it comes to the backdrops but the overall experience turns out to be satisfying and the game is crafted in a way that plays perfectly in the Nintendo Switch.

Disgaea 4 Complete+ picks up the fourth chapter of the Disgaea series and treats it to additional content across every level. If the plot is not the finest ever written, that matters less when looking at the immense amount of content and possibilities of growth that come with this version. Thanks to a ludicrous amount of things to do, Disgaea 4 Complete+ is a marvelous option for fans of the series and for those who enjoy a good tactical RPG.

Warlock's Tower may look simple but beneath this exterior lies a very challenging puzzle game that although not the most original, has a very well thought main mechanic and features a quality level design and a very well implemented difficulty level that fits perfectly with the player's advance in the game.

While its visual environment and art style are exquisite and marvelous at every level and its plot is well written and involving, the game brings very little in terms of additional contributions to the RPG genre and its gameplay essentially sticks with the essential, becoming dull rather quickly. Overall, this is a rather risky experience to get into and one which can leave RPG fans feeling defrauded.

Divinity: Original Sin II is one of the best games available on the Nintendo Switch and a heaven-sent for RPG fans. With its in-depth gameplay, freedom of exploration and an involving and detailed plot, this is an excellent adaptation to the Nintendo Switch and one which will reward the investment of time and energy that any player puts into it.

The game falls short, however, when it comes to its gameplay experience, not only due to performance problems but especially because the gameplay experience feels disconnected from the player and a constricting interaction with the game contributes to make this experience one without much enthusiasm.

Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and The Millionaires' Conspiracy – Deluxe Edition, a very long name for a game that may not be the most ambitious in the Professor Layton series, or even an entirely new game as this is a remaster of a previous game with some additional content but that's not an obstacle for delivering fun and creative puzzles and a charming overall atmosphere. Its relative lack of enough new content makes this a more difficult purchase for those already familiar with the original game but those just starting in the Layton series will have a good, enjoyable and welcoming introduction.

Vampyr brings a very well executed gothic and vampirical atmosphere to the Nintendo Switch, which sits really well with the game's outstanding plot and narrative developments. The game could do much better when it comes to its long loading times and sometimes unstable performance but these are not factors that end up harming an overall experience of interesting exploration and involving plot choices.

Fight'N Rage has a name that suggests an old school beat'em-up and that's exactly what it is, a tribute to some of the classic names of this dimension of gaming that was so popular in decades past. But that's not the only thing that Fight'N Rage gets right - its gameplay mechanics amount of content, different endings and top notch audiovisual environment all contribute to make this one classic-style beat'em-up that is worthy to enter the Nintendo Switch of any fan of the style.

The way the game is presented, it's mostly an experience recommended for those already familiar with the saga, as the game's different outcomes, simple combats and relative lack of new elements compared to the previous chapters make this more difficult to get into for newcomers.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is a good recreation of the famous movie world, with plenty of fun moments between the original cast members and a good variety of enemies to catch. The game's value starts running out soon enough, though, with its short main game mode and graphics which have few advances compared to the original game.

Legend of the Skyfish is an adventure game that's clearly influenced by some of the biggest names of the genre. While the game does a good job at presenting a simple gameplay that fits well with less experienced players, its lack of a higher challenge and lacklustre art style, as well as the inability to create its own space end up harming the game's prospects and make it a rather bland work.

A goose may not be the first (or second, or third) choice for a game's main character but a goose who engages in detestable pranks, now that's even more unexpected. That's what Untitled Goose Game does, and does it well. It's surprisingly fun to play heinous little pranks on innocent humans, especially with an exquisite soundtrack in the background. While the game is rather short and doesn't avoid some repetitiveness, Untitled Goose Game is certain to gain a (socially unacceptable) special place in the Nintendo Switch of many players.

Corpse Party: Blood Drive can be summed up as an experience that both thrills and frustrates. If the gameplay often feels maladjusted, with a lack of guidance given to the player and the unexplainable use of 3D models being very difficult to justify, the plot and writing easily stand out as exquisite and very likely to grab the player's attention and concentration for long hours, two absolutely vital elements for a visual novel.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 brings Mario & Sonic once again to the next edition of the Olympic Games and the series' first game on the Nintendo Switch also means the return of motion controls, as well as a 2D retro-style section directed at the more old school demographic. The game's main plot is only available as a single player experience, which feels like a shortcoming but the game's new additions, events and minigames are certain to make for some very fun hours, even more so in the company of other players.

Easily accessible to players of all audiences, Jet Kave Adventure doesn't break new grounds but does a competent job at delivering a good experience with competent level design and well implemented mechanics.

When the work on display is such a marvelous exercise in customization, exploration and combat and on top of that, even benefits from a top class conversion for the Nintendo Switch format, there's not much more to add other than an emphatic recommendation for players to get their hands on this work.

Star Wars Pinball pushes the bar of the pinball genre and delivers an experience that will be cherished and appreciated by every Star Wars fan out there. With its wide amount of content, high production values, and a gameplay that is hand in glove with the experience of a real pinball table, Star Wars Pinball is without a doubt yet another gem to land on the Nintendo Switch.

Carcassonne, the classic board game, lands on the Nintendo Switch, bringing a quality local multiplayer experience and the possibility of playing solo at any time and anywhere. If this sets the bar high, this version doesn't fully satisfy expectations due to its lack of an online component and of an asynchronous multiplayer mode, which puts this Switch version at a disadvantage.

This remaster of the two Baldur's Gate games features content that's well enough for hundreds of hours though it's impossible not to notice how dated the two games come across. While this remaster essentially targets experienced players and doesn't try to conquer any new audiences, the result is a job well done that will certainly fit well with the fans.

With an exquisite plot, plenty of intrigue and mystery and very detailed scenarios, The Sinking City can however fall short when it comes to some aspects of execution, namely a control system that doesn't quite feel natural and some visual performance issues, which should not stand in the way of those willing to do some Lovecraftian horror detective work.

Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers presents itself as a JRPG with time traveling mechanics and there's nothing wrong with that. The problem is it doesn't fulfill any of its promises and other than a very enjoyable soundtrack, Tick Tock Travelers has very little going for it, as its poor visuals and plot demonstrate and very unhelpful gameplay mechanics further attest.

Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment are two games from a previous generation that now get the right to a Nintendo Switch release. While both titles included in this package feature a marvelous plot and many hours of content for a very customizable experience, its visual execution has aged rather poorly and the level of difficulty will put off many newcomers.

The remaster of The Alliance Alive for the Nintendo Switch keeps the best elements of the original game - as such, the vast world is still a pleasure to explore and the character's dialogues hold their ground to this day. Where this version disappoints, however, is where it concerns the areas that could have significantly improved, such as its visual environment, and the lack of voice acting make this feel like a somewhat subpar experience.

Contra Rogue Corps marks the return of the Contra series and its premiere on the Nintendo Switch. That should be a reason to generate enthusiasm, instead the result is a botched attempt at bringing one of the most iconic 2D shoot'em-up series to our age. With its frustrating and clumsy gameplay, technically inferior performance and limited multiplayer experience, the Contra series did not deserve an attempt that cannot be compared to the classics bearing its name.

Luigi's Mansion 3 may not feature the greatest plot ever written but even if its controls are not top-notch, this is undoubtedly a marvelous game that features plenty of things to do, as well as lots of moments that are strong in both humour and gloom. Its gorgeous visual environment and exquisite soundtrack make a big contribution as well, for a result that is nothing short of a remarkable game that could only improve if it was more daring in its innovative qualities.

Adapting this immense, lengthy and content-packed experience into a handheld format without harming its qualities is worth of every compliment and despite its technical concessions coming into full view when played on a television screen, the privilege of having The Witcher 3 in the Nintendo Switch and with all its content makes it a compulsory purchase.

While it's true that the game presents some technical issues that need correction, there's plenty of positive elements that make this a fun and involving game, including the variety of levels and the humor that can be found throughout the entire experience.

Viviette's art style and visual environment, as well as the plot, are its greatest assets and major contributions at stimulating the player for exploring the game's world. Where Viviette falls short is when it comes to keeping the player's interest for longer periods of time, due to its repetitiveness, inconsistent difficulty level and rather short lifespan.

Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition represents a different but by no means less enjoyable experience than its predecessor. The plot may be very simple but it's competent enough and the game's missions, side quests, plentiful loot and soundtrack all add up to make this an involving and rewarding experience around such a rich, well-crafted effort.

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden - Deluxe Edition treats the player to a very good and competent blend of exploration and strategy which coupled with its simple but compelling plot and art style helps to make a game that can easily keep the player concentrated in the game for a long time. Overall, the experience could only improve if Mutant Year Zero : Road to Eden - Deluxe Edition featured a multiplayer mode.

Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark does not reinvent the whole tactical RPG world but it surely does a very good job at some of its main aspects, namely at customization and at giving a whole lot of reasons for the player to look at the screen with all its gorgeous elements. If it's true that the plot and some of its mechanics need improvement, Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark does not need to copy previous games to make a name on its own.

Raiden V: Director's Cut is an expanded version of the fifth chapter of one of the most famous classic shoot'em-up series. It certainly does a good job at defending its heritage, with its frantic and fast-paced action and co-op options which give a major contribution to make this one of the best shoot'em-ups to be made available in the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

The fourth chapter of the Trine series features a beautiful audiovisual environment, a very wide ranging multiplayer component and many dynamic, stimulating puzzles. This latest chapter is certain to leave its players absolutely charmed and brings the Trine series back to a land of wonder.

Ring Fit Adventure could have simply been a plain fitness app but Nintendo would never let that happen. Ring Fit Adventure is an RPG where instead of a directional joystick and tapping of buttons, the player uses physical exercise to advance and it works like a charm where everything fits and flows just right and the addictive, well-designed and masterfully crafted experience that it is.

Not only it's the best chapter for anyone to get into the Atelier series, it also features what is probably the best alchemy and combat systems. A major step forward in the series which is more than worthy of the players' time and dedication.

Overwatch on the Nintendo Switch wants to fill a gap when it comes to one of the most popular contemporary games in a Nintendo console and while fans of the series will certainly appreciate the opportunity, this version feels severely harmed when compared to others. Its framerate drop, already half of that in other versions, downgrades the visual experience and the bugs that happen on the game's graphics make this feel like a subpar version. There's also no crossplatform compatibility, which leaves this version on the Switch rather isolated compared to the others.

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair may not recreate the whole platforming genre but the experience included in this game is nothing short of welcoming for both fans of platform games and beginners. Boasting a world that's a pleasure to explore along with a humorous dialogue that's full of personality, Yooka-Laylee's spin-off is a delight to play and a recommended work for everyone.

The arrival of GRID Autosport in the Nintendo Switch catalogue represents a rare moment where a driving simulator lands in a Nintendo console, something which had not happened in a long time. GRID's plentiful content, its challenging and tough gameplay and the possibility to select between a better visual performance or a more fluid game experience make this one of the finest driving games on the Nintendo Switch.

Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love is a point and click adventure that does not overthrow the system but which fulfills most of its production quotas – with its gorgeous artwork and visual environment, absurd and satirical plot and attention to detail, it will get players going around to catch every piece of communist propaganda that Matryoshka produces. Sometimes for a bit too long, as it's easy to slip on something important for the plot development.

Little Town Hero is an RPG whose main asset is an original and challenging combat system, as well as the added bonus of its high quality soundtrack. Little Town Hero does not stand up to the highest thresholds, however, on account of a rather bare plot, short length and overall lack of ambition, which makes this an experience that feels somewhat half-complete, as it could have gone much further and led to a more enriching experience.

The experience of playing Candleman is as charming as it is simple. An action-adventure game with puzzles, designed around a candle questioning their reasons to live seems unusual enough but Candleman's level design and puzzles, which fit like a glove on the Nintendo Switch format, make this game something any player can immediately get attached to. Candleman would be an even better experience if it was more ambitious and went beyond its base concepts.

A mixture between a beat'em-up, a shoot'em-up and an RPG might not sound like the most workable formula but Full Metal Furies manages to do just that while presenting a fun experience, especially in its co-op component. Thanks to its very robust combat system and well written plot, Full Metal Furies delivers what is certain to be an instant hit with fans of co-op experiences.

Hellmut: The Badass from Hell is an experience that will make the player go through a demanding, difficult adventure rich in characters and items, as well as in its replay factor given that the levels are generated on a procedural basis. Less welcoming for newbie players, its difficulty level can get quite demanding and the audiovisual environment stands out as lacklustre, but dedicated players will find something they can engage with for a healthy amount of time.

Trouserheart is yet another passable mobile-to-Switch conversion that adds very little compared to the original game. Although the plot is enjoyable for its humour, in every other aspect Trouserheart does not come out on top, whether for its price (way too high for what's on offer), an outdated audiovisual environment or a repetitive experience. As it is, there are quit a few other games which are much more enjoyable than Trouserheart.

The Full Motion Video experience of The Shapeshifting Detective stands its ground quite well on the Nintendo Switch. The game's environment is riddled with mystery and suspense and the capacity of the protagonist to transform into any character are obvious selling points. With more interactivity and a better structured plot, The Shapeshifting Detective could be a very recommended game but as it is, it's mostly an interesting experience with some involving elements.

If the concept and humour are Godly Corp's best assets its frustrating controls, lack of a multiplayer component and feeling of repetitiveness turn out to be obstacles on its path but all factors considered, this is still an enjoyable work and in the right mindset, most players will get many sincere and healthy laughs out of this game.

My Big Sister might not be the most enthralling masterpiece ever made but this production is not without its charm and value, namely its plot with multiple endings and art style. Those looking forward for its puzzles will find them too similar and its lifespan could certainly use an improvement but My Big Sister stands out when it comes to quality of its writing and character interaction.

Boreal Blade brings a gameplay based on melee fighting to a multiplayer-only experience, both online and local. The game gets the combat right, as it works quite well and it's simple enough to learn quickly. There's also plenty of customization options and the demo shares the servers with the full game. However there's also too many connection problems and the game's online community is still small, which can end up harming the experience.

Despite its excessive simplicity when it comes to combat and the lack of customization choices, the game features a captivating art style and does a good job when it comes to the survival experience. Pity it doesn't go all the way towards excelling in all its other elements.
