    Aqua Kitty UDX is a robust arcade shooter with an adorable cat aesthetic. The game offers a good level of challenge and chaos to keep you on your toes. It's let down slightly by some uninspired backgrounds but offers lots of fun on the Nintendo Switch.

    A Light in the Dark is a great visual novel with an interesting story and segments where you have to interact with the characters to alter what happens. It is pretty short, but there are multiple endings that tell more of the stories of both the hostage and his captors.

    A mish-mash of genres that blend well and give you a lot to do for the price of free.

    Rogue Company mixes casual and tactical gameplay styles to create a hero shooter that, while not particularly innovative, is incredibly entertaining. You’ve seen this all before folks, but sometimes good things stick around for a reason.

    The Falconeer absolutely excels in story and presentation. Sure, its aerial combat gameplay might lack impact or variety, but with such an interesting and visually stunning world, it’s easy to overlook such shortcomings.

    Barebones and no-frills it may be, but Tetris 99 is the best playing Tetris game in years and ultimately well worth downloading if you’re a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber.

    Honestly, I might be pushing it with the gameplay being lackluster and the abundance of loading screens, but this game deserves credit where credit’s due. I may not have connected with it emotionally, the style of story told - whilst not for everyone - is something I’m sure will hit home or strike a chord for some people and whilst I didn’t focus on the value of loss. It definitely gave me food for thought of expressing a narrative that felt genuine and earnest.

    Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly builds upon the original, bringing players new and easy-to-love characters, a ton of good vibes, and tidbits of lore for anyone interested. It’s a sweet return to the nighttime café that fans are sure to enjoy.

    Through the Nightmares is a nightmarishly difficult, great labour of love, with the only thing stopping you from beating the game is your own skill and willpower. Just be willing to wait, use any knowledge you collect with each death, and don’t give up.

    Bounty Star is fun whether you’re hunting down scum, modifying your mech, or tending to your farm.

    Roots of Pacha is a refreshing take on the farming/life sim genre, with great ideas and features. However, there are little annoyances that might turn off some.

    Dark Sky is a very solid deckbuilder that makes every encounter and choice matter. You’ll need a good strategic mind to beat the game, but those who can understand and exploit the game’s mechanics will very much enjoy their time.

    The Iron Rig adds an intriguing side story to experience while you revisit old locations hunting new prizes. While a bit repetitious for seasoned sailors, the DLC does add some fun upgrades to aim for and characters to meet.

    Cosmic Wave is a fun time, with a nice story and progression system that keeps you coming back for more. It will kick your butt with various obstacles and tough bosses, but it is well worth it.

    There isn’t much to write about this, it’s a solid game that’s really fun as a co-op game for a games night/party and a nice family game after the Sunday roast. Video options weren’t key for me, especially if it’s not demanding on the system. But, the caveat to the high score is if it were have sold itself purely as a single player game and at the same RRP, then it might have the issue of being undercooked.

    While Demonschool has a few issues to be fixed, it will leave you wanting to play more. With relatable characters, fun dialogue, and atmospheric music, Demonschool is a fun experience for fans of turn-based battle.

    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is visually stunning, and the best we've seen on console. Naughty Dog have produced a fine farewell to one of PlayStation's most beloved characters.

    At its best, Yooka-Laylee reminds me why I fell in love with colourful platformers, it's a love letter to childhood nostalgia. At its worst, Yooka-Laylee reminds me why we moved away from platforming games: odd design choices and occasional bugs sour the experience.

    I would have loved to have given this game a higher score, but I found a lot of issues with it from bugs to the things with the map and other small bits, although I did enjoy playing it because I am a huge Assassin’s Creed fan. It’s really big and fun, but the issues I listed and the changes they made aren’t all great ones.

    HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed looks great, has local and online cross-play multiplayer, and makes you feel like a kid. This is a must-play title!

    Another great entry into the long-running series, Ys X: Proud Nordics is highly recommended, provided you haven’t played the original. For those who have, there just isn’t enough new content to justify paying full price.

    It’s not going to make anybody who didn’t already like the game go out and buy it, but it adds to what was already a pretty addictive game. In short, it’s the kind of thing that you’ll like if you like this kind of thing.

    Crimson Desert is a game with a lot to offer players, but it gets held back slightly by some odd design choices that can create more of a challenge than they really need to.

    Eternal Threads is a wholly unique experience and one that I definitely recommend. That said, outside of snooping in the lives of six unsuspecting strangers there’s not really any other elements to rope in gameplay-heavy players.

    Mindless destruction and lots of fun. Whilst EDF2 doesn’t add much compared to the original releases of the game, it still remains a fun and competent shooter. If you just want a short, fun game that’s easy to play then this is worth a look.

    Beacon Pines is a fantastic story-heavy game for anyone who is into creepy and cute stories and doesn't mind being narrated at for hours on end.

    Desktop Dungeons: Rewind is a title you'll likely play for weeks if you pace yourself properly. With the multitudes of things to do, you'll be enjoying it for a long time to come.

    Blazing Beaks is a crazy adventure where you'll find yourself fighting monsters and searching for artifacts. There's an endless line-up of enemies for you to shoot and blast through. A cute and charming world that increases in difficulty, and as you progress through the levels you’ll be hallmarked with plenty of surprises.
