When it works, Contrast is a beautifully executed vaudevillian tale of sadness and intrigue, but when it doesn’t, the frustrating glitches and awkward controls will drive you mad.

Putting aside it’s controversial nature, Conception II is okay as a JRPG. If you can handle the identikit dungeons and by-the-numbers gameplay (and if you haven’t played the many other great JRPGs on both 3DS & Vita), then you may find some enjoyment here, but it’s unlikely to last very long.

Whilst not the most challenging of games, it still offers fans of the show a chance to enjoy it in a different light. Gameplay can become laborious, though, and the world is more vacant than it should be.

While it has some clever ideas, Slitterhead never realises its potential, feeling like it would have benefited from more time in development.

It truly is wonderful to see a company try something creative and succeed in at least some areas. The art, the mechanics and the atmosphere all work and come together very well. The downfall, however, is that Betrayer wants to be mysterious, but the inscrutable objectives become too perplexing due to a couple of factors, and as a result the game becomes one big enigma in itself.

Back to Bed is a game that will keep you occupied for a short time. The design is something to be admired, but if you’re looking for a more engaging experience, I’d go elsewhere.

One Piece: Burning Blood is a game for the fans who are able to appreciate the vaults of lore and huge roster of characters. It may look pretty, but It’s just far too harsh on newcomers — prioritising style over substance with a combat system that feels grossly unfair.

Monster Menu: The Scavenger's Cookbook combines cooking and tactics combat to create a rather tasty RPG experience.

No longer a Tiger Woods game in name, but you do wish they had retained more of the older ideas. But while there's not much content here, it still plays a superb game of golf.

Mato Anomalies is an ambitious and stylish RPG, but one that ultimately has too many issues to really recommend.

If you like puzzle platformers, and you're prepared to be a little forgiving, then it might just tide you over until the next must-have atmospheric adventure is upon us.

Bite the Bullet is a great game in theory, but framerate issues, loose controls, and oversized maps make it hard to recommend.

Sniper Elite VR: Winter Warrior is an achievement in its authenticity and gunplay, providing some great modes and environments to play in.

While not unplayable, it is a shame that WRC 8’s fantastic gameplay has been tarnished somewhat by the control issues of Nintendo’s console.

You could consider Saints Row a love letter to a time when games worried less over quality and more about fun, but that doesn't excuse its faults.

Dungeons 2 is a bit of a missed opportunity, and isn't going to revive the age of the Dungeon-builder any time soon.

Once you’ve unlocked a good selection of weapons, finishers, and special attacks, Astor: Blade of the Monolith becomes a pretty enjoyable affair.

The Sinking City on Nintendo Switch is a surprisingly solid port of a game you probably didn’t expect to see on the Switch, and offers the kind of dark, contemplative mystery that Nintendo’s console was lacking.

Skully has some interesting gameplay involving your multiple forms, but is ultimately let down by checkpoint issues, and blurry visuals.

If you’re hankering for more of that simple, unfettered Doom action, Hellbound may well scratch your itch.

Even a younger gamer may crave a little more depth than what’s available here, especially with so many other free games out there.

A decent slab of extra content that feels too disconnected from the main game to be considered essential.

From its late 90s cockney gangster routine to its poor visuals and AI, Filthy Lucre is a game out-of-time.

Poison Control is a very unique game, and if you get past its issues this playfully pink adventure has a lot to offer.

Ashwalkers is an inventive survival sim that puts the story centre stage. Whilst managing resources and the survivor's physical and mental health is important, the choices you have to make are where it's at its most inventive.

Godfall is a massive surprise. It borrows combat from God of War and has enough loot to make Diablo blush. It may look garish but it's well designed and has that "one more go" factor.

If you are looking for a charming farming sim, you would probably be better looking down yonder Stardew Valley.

Despite some occasional slowdown and framerate shenanigans Ganryu 2 is beautifully animated and moves around at a fair old lick, and the whole package is just a gorgeous neo-retro arcade treat.
