Bit Dungeon+ brings dungeon crawling and roguelike elements to the Nintendo Switch along with a nostalgic art style and some fun combat moments. Unfortunately the game quickly feels like it's too simplistic. Adding to that, its skills system is quite difficult to understand and frequent glitches and a soundtrack that is unremarkable, at best, make Bit Dungeon an effort that is overall difficult to appreciate.

Riddled with technical issues that need improvement and with too long loading times, Paranautical Activity ends up being a difficult experience to play and it requires a revision from top to bottom until it can be considered as a competent game.

Star Sky manages to set up a soothing and relaxing atmosphere thanks to its soundscapes and visual environment but its interactive dimension is too absent and the lack of a proper narrative make this a very difficult title to captivate the players.

Shiny the Firefly may have an excellent artwork but it immediately becomes a dull and repetitive experience that fails to captivate or pose a significant challenge. Based on the game's art, this could be taken further and into more promising fields but faced with a gameplay that is all but compelling and interesting, there is little choice left other than leave Shine the Firefly in the (digital) shelf.

Wheels of Aurelia brings forward a hybrid between a visual novel and a driving simulator, where the dialogues are topical and captivating and give the game a unique flair. Disappointingly, Wheels of Aurelia does not mange to fulfill all its promises and the game's interaction ends up feeling short and the way the dialogues are carried out does not live up to the game's premise.

Wooden Sen'SeY shows some ambition but unfortunately, its badly implemented control schemes and physics make it extremely difficult and frustrating to play. Sadly, if these problems were addressed, this would be a much more attractive game but it's impossible going around such pressing control issues when the controls are so difficult to use.

Cubit The Hardcore Platformer Robot can be best described as having a well intended and well thought concept but whose implementation does not let it live up to its potential. A merciless jumping mechanic and controls which should have been fine-tuned contribute to an extremely demanding experience which will frustrate the majority of players.

Moonfall Ultimate has some ambition when it draws inspiration from several renowned hack and slash and beat'em up games. The problem is, while its plot is minimally interesting and engaging, the game doesn't really present anything else that will strike a chord with the players and the combat system, its life and soul, is simply too dull, uninteresting and overly simplistic to give any trace of fun while paying Moonfall Ultimate.

Funk of Titans brings forth a very simple control system and some elements which if explored better, could make a more interesting experience. Unfortunately, the overall impression is that its mechanics are far too repetitive and its level design is flawed, which alongside an irregular frame rate contribute to make this a frustrating and unappealing work.

My Exotic Farm does not stand out in any of the fields it tries to follow: farm managing and animal care. Had it followed one of these, it could perhaps stand on its own legs but as it is, My Exotic Farm isn’t more than a tedious and repetitive piece of work with very little content to speak of.

Time Carnage ultimately fails to stand out. The game is too repetitive and dull to play to become a worthy effort, and while it can still serve to fill small time gaps, Time Carnage ends up not delivering on any of its components, which makes it an overall negative experience.

Flight of Light proposes to merge racing cars with rhythm action in what could potentially be a surprising and fun game. Unfortunately its oversimplified gameplay that barely requires any effort on single player, a very low difficulty level, passable audiovisual environment and a price tag that doesn't match its quality make this a disappointing experience that won't appeal to its target audience.

It quickly becomes repetitive on a short-term basis, partly because its levels and game modes are just endless recycling attempts of each other, and the game environment does not improve with its low quality soundtrack, all of these are factors that do not justify paying the high price requested for this effort.

For all its rather interesting puzzles, Soul Axiom does not manage to stand out due to its sub-par level design and overall unappealing gameplay. The game also needs a technical overhaul, as its drops in framerate can often harm the moment and its lack of immersion will keep the players from developing a keener interest.

The overall difficulty level is low and will not pose any problem for players with a bit of experience, which inadvertently ends up throwing the game against the expectations of its target audience of players longing for RPGs from the early 1990s. Chronus Arc ends up falling significantly below its potential in several fields.

Sonic Forces may have created some hype but unfortunately, it mostly falls flat on its face as it quickly becomes obvious that this game is an exercise in disappointment. While the action runs smoothly whether on a television screen or on handheld mode, the game's short and unimaginative levels, the absence of gameplay mechanics that had become a staple of 3D Sonic games, the unreliable controls and the mediocre soundtrack all add up to a very flawed game from which a lot more was expected.

Mini Golf Resort may boast a large amount of content in the form of holes, trophies, outfits, clubs and whatnot but this is not matched by the game's quality, which falls way below expectations. A lack of creativity in level design, camera problems and an overall poor audiovisual experience make this game passable and under performing, despite the amount of content provided.

Jones of Fire could have pushed the bar further if it had been more ambitious but the limitations of converting a mobile game to a home console format quickly become all too obvious. While there's some fun to be had in short, quick sessions, Jones of Fire doesn't take long until it becomes too repetitive and its overall components are clearly sub par compared to what is expected from a platform game.

Bringing Langrisser out of Japan after 25 years is worthy of praise but unfortunately it's the only thing worth praising about Langrisser Re: Incarnation Tensei. Its gameplay mechanics force the player to follow a pre-set order to move the characters, rather than allowing for a more dynamic choice, its visual environment needs a near-complete overhaul and its chapters are simply not motivating to move forward.

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.

Other than its commendable art style, the gameplay experience is not challenging and is mostly devoid of serious engagement, even for a simple effort. Overall, Desert Child has not received the treatment it should in order to be recommended as a racing game in the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

Ambition of the Slimes could have been a more fun, dynamic and overall compelling strategy RPG were it not for its flaws and ill-conceived organization, which will result in very frustrating and repetitive combats and long moments of plain annoyance at how the game puts the player in combat with a very unforgiving system and difficult interaction.

Defense Dome is a very simple game which could have been worthy of praise were it not for its lack of shine and poor visual presentation. While the movement controls are very well implemented, the difficulty in hitting the targets and the way the game flows is simply not addictive or fun enough to redeem it from its overall unappealing aesthetics.

Family Tennis SP tries to be a family-friendly tennis game but it becomes obvious that many of its points need to be revised and polished. Overall, it doesn’t manage to captivate and even hardcore tennis fans have better options available.

Hollow could have gone further and cemented itself as a good proposal in the growing horror genre within the Nintendo Switch and it gets the ambiance right, including the good use of sound effects. It does not succeed at all it could, unfortunately, as its heavy and cumbersome gameplay, losses of fluidity and several technical issues end up plaguing the experience, whose plot is also too generic and unremarkable to make this a memorable horror game.

Devious Dungeon features a fairly interesting progression system, along with a healthy variety of enemies for the roguelike game that it is. Alas, it fails to deliver on the rest and the result is a game that is way too simple and unambitious for its own good, without any factors that redeem it from an overall repetitive and uninteresting experience.

Excave may have an interesting concept but its overall simplistic implementation and uninspired enemies and locations mean that even the biggest action RPG fans will quickly find themselves bored by this game and seek something more compelling and involving.

Caveman Warriors is yet another 2D platformer that arrives on the Nintendo Switch eShop. While it has its pluses thanks to a varied characters roster, it also feels like it still embodies many of the problems that affected 2D platformers in their day, while lacking any of the elements that made them good.
