MaxMedia manages to create an enjoyable experience near the end of Hand in Hand, but its simplicity and gameplay contradictions in split-screen co-op make it hard to recommend it confidently.

Could be cheap enough for a laugh, but probably not one for hardcore pinball fans, people who want any kind of hint of a story, or those who want some creative nudity.

Wildshade is a serviceable kart racer with an interesting core mechanic and purposefully built courses that reward careful attention. However, it doesn’t offer nearly enough to warrant its price tag and fumbles in other key moments.

Immortals of Aveum’s greatest flaw is missing the target in marketing. It may not be the best FPS adventure, but it has a very enjoyable narrative and great (albeit few) full-fledged spell-flinging fights that I couldn’t get enough of.

Whilst feeling more like an upgrade than a true sequel, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is nonetheless a deep, engaging fighter that is widely accessible for all skill levels.

Garbage Crew! is a neat concept, and with changes, it could be good, but the way it is now isn’t fun and ends in frustration.

A short game that lacks challenge, but makes up for it with charm and cuteness in spades.

True Virus has some interesting ideas, but it has a few faults that hold it back.

Orten Was the Case has some interesting ideas and designs and much to offer fans of the genre, but may struggle to draw in new players.

ASTLIBRA Revision is a great port of the PC title that looks gorgeous on the Switch. It has a deep story with loads of customisations to enjoy.

Despite never watching The Smurfs, I absolutely loved the game! It’s fun, it’s gorgeous, and it’s humorous.

Witness the catastrophic events that transpire over the course of Donut County as you wreak havoc by taking control of BK’s all-devouring hole in a surprisingly enjoyable title I didn’t expect to love this much.

Bunny Park is a good game to pick up if you just want to sink some hours into a relaxing decor game, especially if you don’t mind having only a few options in furniture.

Climbing to the peak in Jusant may sound like a boring gameplay loop, but for those looking for a meditative and genuinely enjoyable experience, it's anything but.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a fantastic addition to the world James Cameron brought to life in the films. If you love the Na’vi and Pandora, you won’t be disappointed with this one.

A Highland Song is just as unique and nuanced as I had hoped, and the developer did an outstanding job at bringing a wild sense of adventure and emotion to a 2D title.

While it shows promise and has a novel concept, its lack of polish and short play length detract from the sexy monster girl’s wiles. And ample bosom.

This is a terrible piece of cheap shovelware with no realism, no entertainment value, and nothing to make it worth buying.

It's always a pleasure to experience such a well-crafted, lighthearted game, and if that's what you're in the mood for, then get your wallet ready.

The Elephant Collection rampages onto a new system (and potential fanbase) while also keeping its charm from all these years.

Orbitect is a decently fun roguelite that you can lose some time in, but there are a few annoyances and less-than-great game design decisions that don’t make me want to play more than necessary.

Extremely Powerful Capybaras is a great roguelike bullet-hell game with cute characters and a fun battle system. The lack of tutorials and some bugs hinder it.

Murder is Game Over is a short murder mystery RPG-style game. There really isn’t much deduction to be found here, especially since the dog will find all the clues.

Dragon Bobby - The Story of a Life isn't a bad game, but it's a tad simple and uninspiring in some areas. Still, despite this, it's an impressive feat for a one-person development team.

Follow a hideous and tormented nobleman through a slew of very creative and inventive puzzle levels that, quite frankly, everyone should try — Ugly is a hidden masterpiece that I'm confident many will find something to love in.

Short and sweet, The Pale Reach offers the perfect excuse to return to the world of DREDGE. And as one of the best indie titles of the year, how could anyone refuse?

A fast-paced and exciting hell shooter, held back by some minor design decisions.
