Rusty Rabbit is a decent Metroidvania with some interesting ideas, but clunky movement and frustrating combat make it a tough sell.

Hotel Barcelona is a bloody fun Roguelike, with a whole heap of creative ideas and just as many unhinged characters to meet.

Returning fans from the arcade will get a real kick out of Snow Bros 2 Special, but for everyone else it's a little bit of a tougher sell.

Your tolerance for philosophical musings will probably determine how much you enjoy Dreams of Another, but underneath all that is still a fun game.

Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game allows you to live out the life of a hobbit in a warm and welcoming world, with some nice ideas throughout.

Star Wars: Beyond Victory features three fun games in one, making the full use of virtual reality and all its capabilities in one gloriously nerdy package.

A Pizza Delivery is a great concept that needed much longer in the oven. As it stands the game is half-baked, full of bugs and doesn't hit the emotional notes it's aiming for.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is just decent, when you'd expect more for something designed to show a new system.

There’s very little to redeem Legacy of Kain: Ascendance other than the fact that it’s short.

Tamagotchi Plaza Switch 2 Edition has some silly charm, but the dull minigames and lack of tutorials end up making it a chore to play.

Despite being a pretty ambitious undertaking and a handful of decent ideas, Spy Drops fails to make the kill.

Techno Banter is an entertaining Papers, Please-style game with interesting ideas, but it has issues that prevent it from being easy to recommend. Still if you want to play something unique and full of wild characters then you could do much worse, especially if the idea of European techno gets your blood pumping.

Under Defeat is a superb game, which quite rightly earned plaudits upon release and still feels like an essential part of anyone’s shoot ‘em up library.

COLD VR has a solid core concept but fails to ever really impress with it.

With a few minor tweaks, Stray Path could go from being a recommended "give-it-a-go" kind of game, to a to a genuine must play experience.

BrokenLore: LOW is an unnerving short form horror game, with disturbing monsters, an eerie atmosphere and the potential to scare the pants off you.

Omega 6 The Triangle Stars is a charming sci-fi adventure, full of wonderfully designed aliens and rock paper scissors battles.

For all of its flaws, I have some love for My Night Job thanks to the "one more go" appeal, leaderboards, and overall humour and aesthetic.

Despite an attempt to add context and colour to the world, the best bit of Trailmakers: Pioneers is still the building.

inZOI is an ambitious attempt to topple Maxis’ empire, but in its current form it’s not really exciting enough to pose a threat to it. The use of generative AI is unpleasant, the actual gameplay is too slow paced, and there’s just a lack of charm in the world. Hopefully this period of early access can shake things up enough to make some serious improvements to the game, because right now it merely remains one to watch. [Early Access Review]

Dungeons of Hinterberg isn't the game you think it is, and that's what makes it so good. A gorgeous world, smooth combat, and great RPG elements as well.

Order 13’s fulfilment centre horror is a fantastic concept for a video game, but it doesn't take particularly long for the tension to be lost.

Axyz is a gravity bending puzzle platformer with an unusual retro aesthetic, thoughtful stages, and more content than you could roll a ball at.

The combo scoring nature of gameplay and the way the pace ramps up to a frenetic level places Breakout Beyond alongside classic arcade and puzzle titles of its ilk from days gone by.

Nif Nif is the perfect first deck building Roguelike for newcomers to the genre, but its lack of challenge means it's not worth replaying much.

White Knuckle is in early access, so there are plenty of tweaks, improvements, and new content to be added over the next year. At present, there’s more than enough to keep players occupied. The need to push yourself and progress, to get faster and survive longer is a great motivation, and with the horror being just as much about the grim location as it is about the things that reside in Substructure 17, it’s quite the unique idea and I loved how challenging it was, even if I did feel like pulling my hair out from time to time. [Early Access Review]

Sacre Bleu is an engaging platformer with absolutely wonderful locomotion, and just the right amount of challenge for genre veterans.

Monument Valley and Monument Valley 2 are still incredible games all these years later, but the Switch might not be the best place to play them.
