    Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
    When you think you’re seeing a render in-game that looks too good for Switch, that’s because essentially a video is playing. Yes, the actual game part is lower resolution, and yes, of course if you can play it on PS4, Xbox One, or PC, you’ll get the better looking experience, but if you are a Switch-only console household then you’re getting a great looking game that sounds amazing, and tells a story with one of the best takes on mental health in a long time. Play it on handheld with headphones and you’ll be shocked, just don’t be surprised if it looks blurry (and sub-HD) on the big screen.

    Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered
    With no extra content, no Switch-specific controls or features and little to offer those who missed it first time round, Red Faction: Guerilla Re-MARS-tered (sorry, that’s the actual title) has little reason to really be. I’d recommend it to you if you like blowing stuff up and shooting things, as it’s still a very playable and cathartic adventure even if the busy work gets a bit much, but I wouldn’t go into expecting any kind of revolution.

    Terraria
    For players who have never played Terraria before, this Switch version is an excellent port, but for those players who have experienced and loved Terraria on other platforms I’d argue that this version is still essential. The ability to play on the go in handheld is a huge draw and thanks to the excellent work to utilise the Switch’s unique features makes this challenging game an utter joy to play again.

    Kill la Kill: IF
    Kill la Kill The Game: IF managed to exceed my expectations in almost every way delivering a fantastic experience for Kill la Kill fans like myself who have been waiting a long time for a game.

    Sairento VR
    If you're looking for a solid action game to really show what the PSVR and Move are capable of, Sairento is arguably the best available right now.

    They Are Billions
    They Are Billions is a unique and relentlessly tense take on the Civ-Sim and one that will reward any failure with swift and sudden destruction.

    Blazing Chrome
    If you’re into your classic shooters and don’t mind a few cheap deaths along the way, Blazing Chrome is a pulse-pounding thrillride that wears its influences proudly on its sleeve.

    Dragon Quest Builders 2
    Building on the original’s strong foundations Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a sequel that improves on the original in almost every way.

    Senran Kagura: Peach Ball
    This is definitely a big step up over Reflexions in terms of quality and if you like pinball and Senran Kagura, this is definitely worth getting.

    SolSeraph
    SolSeraph is a very enjoyable, well-designed hack 'n' slash title, but the town management parts drag it down a little.

    Monster Jam Steel Titans
    With impossibly light trucks that flip over if you simply sneeze, incredibly repetitive gameplay and a pointless, bland open world, Monster Jam: Steel Titans just isn’t fun to play.

    The House in Fata Morgana - Dreams of the Revenants Edition -
    The House in Fata Morgana: Dreams of the Revenants Edition brings one of the best stories in gaming to consoles for the first time and it is a must play game.

    Sea of Solitude
    Sea of Solitude is a powerful story of loneliness, perfectly complimented by a beautiful art style and score.

    Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
    If you haven’t played Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons before, this is definitely the version to get since it has an all new proper co-op mode including single Joy-Con support for you to be able to experience this short story on the go with a ready to go co-op setup. If you’ve already played the game, there isn’t much value in getting it again since the main draw is the puzzles and experiencing them for the first time.

    Timespinner
    I cannot recommend Timespinner enough. The Switch port is fantastic and the game itself is special. My biggest disappointment is not being able to back the Kickstarter project because I had no idea about it then. I know most people who enjoyed Castlevania: Symphony of the Night will likely be enjoying Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night right now but Timespinner is something you absolutely need to play.

    Assassin's Creed III Remastered
    This is definitely a version to avoid unless you absolutely need portable play over everything. The cutbacks across the board are more than what I saw in Dark Souls Remastered on Switch and it has worse audio issues and glitches. The fact remains that Assassin’s Creed III itself hasn’t aged brilliantly compared to other games in the franchise like Black Flag that was on the Wii U and would’ve been a better game to play on the go with a Switch port.

    Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled
    Realistically if you have the choice of which format to get many would plump for the PS4 or Xbox One versions, but I think it’s the Switch version you should plump for, the portability and ease of multiplayer being considerable selling points should you fancy a quick race with a friend. Games like this make you realise that there are quickly becoming less and less reasons why games shouldn’t be ported to Nintendo’s great little machine.

    Resident Evil 0
    Overall, the Switch version is an excellent port of the previous remaster with the same additional content available once you have completed the main story. There is very little to distinguish this version from the previously released HD remasters, the only difference being the portability option that the Switch console offers.

    Samurai Shodown
    Samurai Shodown is a very different fighter to what you might be used to, but it offers a unique way to play, offering a different approach to the genre.

    Outer Wilds
    Outer Wilds is good-looking and quite unique in its subgenre, and there's a compelling, intriguing mystery to solve that will keep you guessing as you progress across the galaxy.

    Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
    Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is an incredibly well-made adventure, and a heartfelt ode to games past.

    Muse Dash
    Easy to pick up, hard to put down. Muse Dash is a brilliant slice of musical goodness.

    Chippy
    Chippy feels incredibly familiar and intuitive and has enough of its own identity to make it worth a look. The challenge on offer is high and will require persistence and practice to master.

    Effie
    Effie is a 3D puzzle platformer with a strong nod to games of yesteryear. Simple combat as well as a lack of any real challenge and samey boss fights make it a title best suited to a younger audience.

    Super Mario Maker 2
    Despite the multiplayer being slightly underwhelming, the new creation tools, single player story, and addition of Super Mario 3D World make Super Mario Maker 2 a fantastic overall package.

    The Sinking City
    If you can ignore The Sinking City's technical failings, set the combat difficulty to easy and stick to getting embroiled in the story.

    Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled
    Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is a fantastic remaster, filled with great courses and plenty of replayability, even if the difficulty sometimes feels off.

    Dandy Dungeon: Legend of Brave Yamada
    Dandy Dungeon is a breath of fresh air in a time when most games take themselves too seriously. I love the music and humour here. Having already played a good amount of it on iOS, it is good to see a whole new audience get a chance to play this since the mobile version is no longer available. If you enjoy roguelites and great humour and want something that oozes charm, you need to get this.

    Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland
    Atelier Lulua is one of the better games in the franchise in recent times. The Switch version is absolutely worth getting if you’ve played the Trilogy (LINK) and wanted a new game to follow those. I’m still annoyed by the lack of an English voice acting option but the fact that this release actually plays very well on Switch even in handheld makes it an easy recommendation. I’m glad Gust has finally managed making their new games work well on Switch. Hopefully future entries are this well optimised for Nintendo’s hybrid console.

    American Fugitive
    Playing on the Switch feels no different to playing on any other platform, with no console-specific features or controls. That said, it is the kind of small-scale, intimate affair that feels more at home on the handheld. Plus, you’ve the added benefit of putting it down mid car-chase to come back later.
