Dreamscaper is beautiful, deep and haunting, deftly combining elements of real-life pain and poignant character development with fast-paced combat in a surreal alternate world.

A steady puzzle game elevated by its story and mystery that's never quite original enough to stand out.

If you loved the original, this is just as good, with a great new art style and some nice changes to combat.

A decent puzzle game that doesn't overstay its welcome.

An almost arbitrary re-release of a great game, Dragon’s Crown Pro succeeds on its existing merits but brings nothing new to justify the full price tag.

Arise: A Simple Story is a delightful mix of stunning visuals, sounds, and engaging story. But there's also a satisfying game underneath to enjoy too.

Alwa's Legacy is a pleasant little game that does a lot of things right, but nothing spectacularly. It's fun, if a little forgettable.

Blacktail may not put every foot right, but it's still an enjoyable, compelling romp through a dark and beautiful fairytale world.

Blood West doesn't pull any punches and is more than happy to kill you over and over again, but it makes overcoming the odds so satisfying.

Indika is an ambitious game that's focus on religion is the driving force in its engaging narrative, with simple puzzles and linear gameplay.

Triple Deluxe is a solid platformer bookended by some great extras, even if it is pretty easy, give or take a couple of tricky boss encounters. It lacks the sense of wonderment that Epic Yarn generated with its incredible use of texture, humour and verve, yet is still well worth a look -and is perhaps the finest handheld outing for the cerise sucker.

Mario Party Superstars won't change anyone's mind, but for those of us who enjoy it, there ain't no party like a Mario Party-party.

Station to Station is an enjoyable, likable railway builder with a beautiful art style and a charming soundtrack.

The city is the true star of Second Son, and for that alone it is worth playing. However, you need to go in knowing that this is a refinement of the series, and not a revolution in terms of gameplay. The fact that Delsin can absorb other people’s powers means that you’re always getting new toys to play with, and Sucker Punch smartly avoid trying to be ultra serious.

A truly fresh, innovative take on a genre crying out for something new. Freestylegames has utterly succeeded in making Guitar Hero relevant again.

Armello is a great showcase of how a game on mobile and other consoles can be adapted for the Switch.

You’ll suffer hundreds of deaths in Ghostrunner 2, but every single one is worth it to move you forward step-by-bloody-step.

EA Sports WRC is as good as it gets behind the wheel, with Codemasters once again putting out a racer that feels incredible to play.

Turbo Kid is a Metroidvania where you can summon a bike at the push of a button, and that is absolutely as cool as it sounds.

Football Manager 2015 doesn’t take the formula and mix things up too much this time around, but what it has added, gets you even closer to realising your dream of becoming a bonafide football manager. Plus, you can attend the FA Cup final while wearing your Roy Keane pyjamas in the comfort of your own home, and it doesn’t get much better than that.

It’s mad to think how much fun you can have with Pac-man in 2018, but Bandai Namco continue to make these new iterations, adding little bits to make them well worth the investment. It’s hard to know where Pac-Man can go from here, but this is a Switch game well worth having on the go.

There’s not another game even remotely like Card Shark, and as long as you have the patience to learn its tricks you’ll be delighted by its charm.

One of the most promising new IPs of this generation so far. Massive, clever and addictive, The Division is Ubisoft at their best.
