Against all odds, Bubsy 4D is an incredible 3D platformer. I promise this isn't a bad joke, although there are plenty of them here.

Thick as Thieves is a solid stealth steal-em-up that will probably be elevated by finding a few sticky-fingered friends to play with.

It’ll be too simplistic for some, but Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a game full of whimsy, wonder, and creativity that rewards you for experimentation and exploration.

Despite this lovely looking world and a story so driven by mystery, I wasn’t able to get past Will as a character or the obtuse puzzles he has to face.

Battlestar Galactica: Shattered Hopes faithfully recreates the feel of the show, with intense combat and interesting decision-making between dogfights.

Fail Fail Succeed is a clever puzzle platformer that plays around with the concept of failure, and tests your brain greatly in the process.

Black Jacket is rather brutal when you're first dealt in, but once you understand its clever systems you'll never want it to end.

Thanks to a generous hint system and another excellent story, Call of the Elder Gods, is a puzzle game that everyone can enjoy.

Clockwork Ambrosia is a Metroidvania throwback that does everything right, and the gun mods make for some seriously exciting collectibles.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Switch 2 is another miracle port for the console. Gone are the days of playing third party games on a Nintendo console and feeling like you’re getting a sub-par experience. Despite some necessary concessions, this is a good port of a great game and you’ll enjoy your time with Indy here as much as you would anywhere else. [Switch 2 impressions]

Mixtape is one of those games that leaves a lasting impression and reminds you of your own experiences growing up, featuring excellent music throughout.

Outbound is a pretty game with an addictive loop but unfortunately a slow-moving van isn't enough to differentiate in a sea of cosy/survival games.

Directive 8020 is by far one of the best games Supermassive has made, with an engaging story and characters and choices that carry a lot of weight.

A delicious slice of life, inKONBINI is a lovely experience that will leave you with a smile as big as Makoto’s after she hands a customer their change.

Aphelion has some excellent moments regarding the story, but is let down by consistently frustrating gameplay where you feel punished for no reason.

Bus Bound is a simulation game with purpose, and seeing Emberville City grow as you breathe life into it is more of a reward than you’ll often find in this genre.

Boris is undeniably adorable, but with obtuse navigation and repetitive mechanics this is an adventure you may want to let pass you by.

The Shinobi SEGA Villains DLC is a great reason to boot up last year's ninja delight, with some boss fights that simply blew me away.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is an inclusive, funny time that, while repetitive, is lovely to dip in and out of over and over again.
