There were elements that I enjoyed about Coffin Dodgers, and the fast-paced action and ragdoll physics led to some crazy races and funny fails. I enjoyed the story mode, especially with its amusing ending. Plus, the final showdown race is brilliant. But the game lacks depth, and doesn’t really have that draw that made me want to keep playing, especially with the omission of online features.

A fairly repetitive dungeon crawler which is fun in small dose, but gets samey too quickly. There’s not that much wrong with Excave III, but it’s too bland to stand out from the crowd and there are better games of this type available on the 3DS.

War Hospital has some interesting ideas, but the game has some issues and bugs that ruin the experience currently.

Hellstuck: Rage With Your Friends is a game for people who want a real challenge; this title is not for the faint-hearted and requires an insane amount of patience!

In Nightmare could have been great, but the atmosphere and environments aren’t enough to make up for the woeful frame rate, frustrating enemy encounters, and overall tedium of the gameplay.

Lovely Planet Arcade is what happens when you create something in a genre you’ve not understood, which is strange considering the team got it so right only two years ago. I found it too frustrating and really haven’t enjoyed my time with it, which is a shame because it could have been so much better.

An interesting premise ultimately let down by poor execution and a lack of depth seen in most every other game in the genre.

While the plot and characters in Mediterranea Inferno are interesting, the lack of any real gameplay makes this a difficult game to recommend. If you want an interesting journey but don’t want much involvement, then this could be one for you.

Adorable Adventures has enough cute, charming boars to live up to its name, and while it’s a short, wholesome title, it will be too light on gameplay for some.

RICO is fun with a friend but don't expect more than a few hours of enjoyment.

Corpse Mob is an honest game. It’s a top-down arcade shooter for you to have a bit of fun in – no more, no less. Of course it’d be improved with online multiplayer support, and perhaps a bit more variation in between the waves, but then I expect it wouldn’t cost less than £2.

Combining turn-based strategy with rougelike elements is a great idea, but unfortunately The Dragoness can’t quite pull it off. Enjoyable for a while, but the lack of interesting combat and engaging narrative will be enough to turn most players off.

An over-the-top arcade football title that’s more frustrating and complicated than it ought to be. While it’s clearly faithful to its source material, that’s unlikely to convert newcomers to Captain Tsubasa.

A management sim with not enough variety, Disco Simulator is fun for a short while, but quickly becomes too repetitive to want to see it through to completion.

As a budget release on the 3DS eShop, and if approached as something to play in short bursts, Sadame is worth a purchase after you’ve already exhausted the best this handheld has to offer. By no means a bad game, Sadame is a 2D hack-and-slash ultimately carried by its cross-character interaction, with the often dull combat holding it back from anything more than mediocrity.

Pool Cleaning Simulator tries to be interesting, and it does work at times, but at the end of the day, it’s more like doing chores than playing a game.

There is some stuff to enjoy about Shoppe Keep 2, but there’s unfortunately some stuff to dislike. It feels like it left Early Access a little prematurely, as it’s missing some things as I’ve explained, which would have helped the quality of life.

An enjoyable overworld dragged down by tedious, imprecise platforming gameplay. It’s not devoid of merit, but Drawn To Life: Two Realms isn’t the jolt of electricity needed to shock the franchise back to life.

A space station builder with very little to build. It’s a great concept but it’s just not well executed enough and it’s too shallow to be the game it deserves to be.

There’s nothing exactly wrong with Undead Inc. but you spend more time waiting for the interesting part than you enjoying the build-up.

If you want a top-down game that lets you shoot people and steal cars, you might get more out of this. However, the storyline isn’t very strong, and it’s quite repetitive. Riskers could have been more, but sadly it isn’t.

Story Of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town is an okay farming game but if you are expecting giant changes to the already worn out formula then you should look elsewhere.

Tap Wizard 2 is a twist on a bullet-hell type game with RPG elements, but it is hard to play with a controller and has too many things to collect and equip with little direction.

If you want to learn more about the ocean, this would be a great experience for you. If you want a beautiful, relaxed experience about fish, Beyond Blue just about misses the mark on that, unfortunately.

Quite a disappointment, with only glimmers of fun to have peeking through the bike exhaust.

Super cute characters and fun minigames to play here. No story and not too much variety for levels, but if you want something super easy to play locally, this is a fun one to try.

Garden Witch Life has fun gardening gameplay and a lot of potential, but the good is overshadowed by underbaked characters, awkward progression, bugs, and a lack of “witchy” elements.

I don’t know what’s left to say. If this was maybe at least half its cost I could easily forgive its misgivings, alas this isn’t a 7. Yeah I’m kinda gutted it isn’t better.
