The problem with Breakout: Recharged is being asked to pay the thick end of a tenner for something that doesn’t re-invent the wheel, and can be experienced better elsewhere. Sadly it just represents poor value.

Red Solstice 2: Survivors is a decent game hindered by iffy AI, spiking difficulty, and a feeling of disconnect between player and game.

Maneater on Nintendo Switch is still the same silly, irreverent offering it is on the other platforms, but it doesn't look quite as pretty and there's nothing to shout about here if you've already played it.

Essentially this is a bare-bones port of a decent hack ‘n’ slash action-RPG.

If you enjoy gameplay focused experiences and can tolerate some jank, Dead or School will be worth getting when it drops in price.

Alex Kidd in Monster World DX is a faithful remake of the original, but the difficulty of a bygone era rears its ugly head far too often.

If you want a break from continuously chasing the so-called “next big thing” and fancy getting your teeth into a reliable, enjoyable and regularly funny RPG, then jump off the hype train and hang around with Fang and his gang of Fury hunters. You won’t be disappointed.

After Us is gorgeous and has some important things to say about consumerism, but actually playing it isn't always fantastic.

Despite the unique nature of Birthdays the Beginning, and how it approaches the god game genre from a completely new direction, I really can’t see it appealing to too many people. It has the potential to be a decent learning tool, but the progression blocks in the early game, combined with a tutorial that just doesn’t explain anything in enough depth, will keep most people from seeing the best bits anyway. Sir David Attenborough is a better bet, if you want entertainment while you learn.

A minimalist's take on the real time strategy genre, with a strong pick and play quality that doesn't quite do enough to bridge the gap between novices and veterans of the genre.

A great tie-in and a solid game in its own right, The Escapists: The Walking Dead is an enjoyable and surprisingly deep head-scratcher.

Martha is Dead deals with losing loved ones and losing your own self through a powerful narrative that can be quite uncomfortable at times.

Way of the Hunter sacrifices fun for realism, and coupled with some other aggravating elements is a game I cannot recommend.

Industria takes inspiration from title like Bioshock and Half-Life, featuring a fantastic story with some decent gunplay and puzzles as well.

Sadly, Concord struggles to find its own identity given the overused sci-fi setting and the overdone gameplay structure.

If you can look past what's skin-deep and come to terms with Outward's combat for what it is, you'll find the foraging, crafting, striving survival sim you're looking for.

Whilst the title does sadly feel a bit too simple, Secret Paths possesses a lot of charm and tries to offer a range of challenges for all levels of skill. In the end it skews a little young overall, but that age group will also probably be more forgiving of the repetitive nature of the puzzles throughout the game.

Human Fall Flat is a very good port. I would like individual Joy-Con support to be added in a patch but if you’ve been waiting to check this out and want to on the Switch, go for it.

Lunar Lander: Beyond is a loving reimagining of the Atari classic, with some seriously cool mechanics and a whole lot of variety.

It is pleasing to that games like Akimbot are still being made, as there is a definite place in the market for well-crafted examples of platforming run and gun action.

What it lacks in the kookiness of its similarly successful One Piece stable-mate it makes up for in bombast, explosions and simple speed and playability.

The Unlimited May mean that Gear.Club isn’t shackled by monetisation, but the only real thing that will not be unlimited here is your patience.

A decent team-based shooter that will disappoint hardcore Metroid fans, but is enjoyable enough for those who don’t have lofty expectations of what this game should be.

A surprisingly fun platformer that’ll keep you hooked with its fluid combat and varied boss fights.

Vesta is best described as okay, and it never really rises above that level despite its prettiness.

Alfred Hitchcock Vertigo has some of the funniest voice acting in any game I’ve played this year, but unfortunately that wasn’t the intent.

The Silver Case isn’t a bad game by any means, but it is definitely suited to a specific audience due to its story-heavy nature and difficult puzzles.

While it certainly improves upon the original in many ways, The Crew 2 is a step backwards overall. Its rubberband AI is some of the worst in recent memory and its version of America feels empty, not at all like Forza Horizon, the game it really wants to be.
