Night in the Woods is a rich and heart-filled story that's easy to fall in love with and incredibly hard to forget.

A fast-paced and often manic driving game. It'd be a crime not to give it a go.

There's a great story here, and the platforming is just about good enough to back it up.

There are some great moments here, but a few fussy ones that spoils things a little bit.

It gets off to a rocky start, but Hero Hunters is a fantastically fun shooter that will soak up plenty of your time.

A thoughtfully designed casual time waster that benefits from being played in a trance-like state.

Though it suffers occasionally in its pacing, World to the West is a fun 3D adventure/puzzler for players of all ages.

It might not be the most interesting Final Fantasy game ever made, but there's fun to be had here all the same.

SHU is a classic platformer that does the genre justice. It may not be super advanced, but it is good fun.

World of Warships offers plenty for fans of nautical engagement, but the pace might be a bit too slow for others.

Is it a good game? Yes. Is it a game that's going to slice the people who play it down the middle like, well, like a space beetle slicing through a bizarre interpretation of a hyperdrive trip infused with psychedelia? Yes. If you've read this review, I hope that you know which side of that line you're on. Because if you pick the game up and it turns out you're towards the screaming and never forgiving the game end of the spectrum, you've got a pretty bad three minutes waiting for you just down the line.

Draw a Stickman: EPIC 2 might not be the hardest game to get to grips with, but it's still fun with an interesting mechanic.

Meteorfall is exactly what you want from a single player card game. It's fun, it's deep, and it'll keep you coming back for more.

Super Fancy Pants Adventure is one of the most joyfully tactile mobile platformers around, underpinned by a thrilling sense of momentum.

It's still super slick, it still offers some of the best puzzling on the App Store, and it's still creepy as hell. Even four goes in The Room: Old Sins delivers.

Blocky Racing doesn't reinvent the casual karting genre, but it does win you over with a distinctive handling system and balanced, competitive racing.

It's Full of Sparks is a fun, colourful platform-puzzler that doesn't quite ignite as it should thanks to a few mechanical imbalances.

Jydge is a great, difficult, nice looking cyber punk shooter that fits into nicely mobile-sized bursts. It's so much fun I can just about forgive the fact that it's called Jydge.

The Escapists 2 improves on its existing formula, offering up another great sandbox experience with a little more bite.

There's so much to like in Hero Academy 2 that it's hard to get it all down in one review. From the brilliant art style to the various layers of tactical ideas, everything here is polished to the sort of sheen we expect from the very best games on the App Store. If you're looking for a fight, and you want to make sure that you're using your brain as well as your brawn, then this is the perfect game for you.

Black: The Fall is a nice addition to the Switch range, offering an interesting story, intriguing puzzles and great bite-size gameplay. Lovely moments easily outweigh any small flaws.

It's a neat concept and fun in co-op, but Space Cycler's lengthy levels and uncomfortable controls make it tough to recommend.

HeliHopper is a bright, solid casual game that provides an interesting twist on the Angry Birds ping mechanic, but it feels a little too sparse and repetitive.

A super sharp card game that will have you hooked for hours on end.

It has a few problems, but if you're looking for a sharp action game with plenty of challenge, Furi is for you.

The Nintendo Switch is the perfect home that Super Meat Boy never knew it needed.

Rusty Lake Paradise is strangely compelling, but its overly-weird setting lacks substance and makes puzzles quite confusing.

A frantic battle to the death, and then to the death again, that does lose a bit of its shine in the grind.

Those who previously complained about the title's lack of touch screen will be thoroughly satisfied this time around. Mind you, if you've played it already, there's not that much point grabbing it again. Despite the fact Max: The Curse of Brotherhood isn't a fantastic game, it is a great platformer/puzzler which does shine up nicely on the Switch.

Antihero gets mobile board gaming in 2018 off to a really impressive start. It's fun, it's fast, and you're going to lose a good deal of time in its skullduggery and underhand activities.

A bright, well put together mash up of ideas that's pretty damn compelling.

Human: Fall Flat is a wobbly and aggravating physics-based game that, despite its shortcomings, is still a bucket-load of fun.

Prizefighters is an accessible, fluid brawler that just lacks a little personality and misses a few of its hits.

It's not classic Sonic, but it's a lot more fun than you might be expecting.

A wonderfully violent, often hilarious roguelike that's a great addition to any Switch collection.

A bright and funny reworking of Bridge Constructor with some special Aperture Science trappings.

The End is Nigh isn't a platformer for the faint-hearted but it will keep you addicted for a good long while, and feels right at home on the Switch.

Gorogoa's thousands of illustrations coalesce into a cleverly designed puzzler that's as compelling to play as it is to watch.

A slick and well put together free to play board game. It's not the greatest game ever, but it's worth a look.

Frustration is common in Getting Over It, yet its sense of progression and improvement can be quite addictive.

Like a Boss doesn't do enough with its setting to set it apart from the rest of the crowd.

This might not be the best way to play the game, but if you exclusively play on mobile it's a brilliant addition to any homescreen. It's tight, it's tense, and some of the puzzles you need to solve are crafted brilliantly. This is the sort of grim, ghastly, and utterly compelling adventure that really hammers home just how interesting videogames can be if they step outside the bright colours and gacha mechanics that persist throughout the App Store.

A tough, generously proportioned retro 2D platformer package - with a decent match-three puzzler thrown in as a bonus.

A good port of a great game. It's not perfect, but it still captures most of the magic of the original.

The Sexy Brutale is an immensely enjoyable game and it's easy to understand how it's received such high praise on other platforms. Sadly, the Switch port isn't the best. It suffers from mild audio and major performance issues that a person with lesser patience would find it hard to get through, and that's a real shame.

or the most part, Game Dev Tycoon remains the phenomenal game it always was. You'll sit down to play for just a few minutes, and lose hours instead. Its core gameplay and presentation is simple, but it's so engaging that you'll celebrate every success and despair over every failure. If you've played Game Dev Tycoon before, it's much the same as it always was, and it's made the leap to mobile successfully. If you've never played it, now is the time.

A calm and intriguing match-stuff puzzler that's likely to appeal to anyone sick of being shouted at.

Mantis Burn Racing is a fine arcade racer with tight handling, a strong campaign mode, and flexible multiplayer options.

The Uncertain gets off to a poor start in its first episode, thanks to poor writing, uninspired puzzles, and a wonky camera.

A decent enough wild west shooter, but there's not much here after the initial thrill.

A clever choose-your-own-adventure game that's going to keep you occupied for a good long while.

An ambitious open world action game that frustrates and obfuscates with its disparate parts and rough edges.

Amazing Katamari Damacy might not be the full KD experience, but it's still a slick and engaging mobile version.

Pocket Legends Adventures has a solid RPG at its core, but it's wrapped up in painful amounts of grinding and waiting.

Hoppenhelm doesn't set any new standards for the endless runner or the stripped-back mobile platformer genre, but it is a highly enjoyable time waster. If you find yourself lapping up Nitrome's moreish arcade gems faster than the developer can supply them, this is a more than worthy tribute.

If you're looking for an idler that takes away a good deal of the idling, then you're going to enjoy Tap Busters. It looks amazing, some of the character design is top notch, and there's a decent chunk of sci-fi humour running through it too.

A love letter to Pokemon past and present, that's also an incredible game in its own right.

A love letter to Pokemon past and present, that's also an incredible game in its own right.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a rough diamond that is both demanding and delightful, but one that raises the bar for portable RPGs higher than ever before.

Gear.Club Unlimited is a good racing game, but it seems to lack that sweet, satin finish on the Switch that's so apparent on mobile.

It has a few problems here and there, but there's more than enough good in GNOG to look past them.

An absolutely stunning racing game that feels like it was always meant to end up on mobile.

Puzzle Fighter is a grind-filled, boring puzzle game that feels like a dinosaur compared to modern titles.

Stick It to the Man! won't be for everyone, but it's a super solid port, has a great art style, and offers up a good mix of platform and point-and-click gaming.

It wants to be PUBG, but Rules of Survival isn't. It's a bit broken, but when it gets things right, it's quite a lot of fun.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is a simple and effective time-killer that doesn't push its free to play elements in your face.

It might have its issues when you're playing it handheld, but Rime is still a real joy to experience on Switch.

A slick and violent brawler that pulls a few punches but is still well worth a look.

Lineage 2: Revolution might not have the broadest appeal, but it's a must-have for MMORPG fans looking to lose hundreds of hours of their lives.

A seriously tough but tactile physics platformer that will delight and frustrate in almost equal measure.

LA Noire on Switch isn't perfect, but a lot of that's down to its age and the mechanics. As a port, it plays great on Switch.

Despite a couple of gripes, Octodad: Dadliest Catch suits the Switch well. Whether you're playing on your own or arguing with up to three other players with the drop-in co-op mode, you're bound to have a fair bit of fun with it.

Whether you're new to the game or an old hand at it, and even with its graphical downgrade, Rocket League is as much fun as ever on the Switch.

Fans of the show will enjoy the characters and humour, but everything else Phone Destroyer has to offer is done better elsewhere.

There's some fun to be had with Spelunker Party, but unfortunately there's also a lot of frustration as well.

Bladebound is a deeply familiar yet highly approachable action RPG with virtually no distinguishing features.

Bethesda has squashed its 2016 shooter onto Switch, and while it's missing some polish, it's still a lot of fun.

Guardians of the Galaxy has at least remained consistent throughout the series, it's just a shame it didn't end on a bang but rather a whimper.

Monopoly super-fans will likely find the Switch version to be another great addition to their already-heaving collection, but for the rest of you you'll be getting an identical experience without the heart or soul.

There are games out there that are maybes, but Starman is a definitely. It might be a little short, it might be a little slow, and it might be a little annoying in places, but when it gets things right it gets them so very right. Take your time with it, have a sit down and make a brew. By the end you'll have played through something that's really rather impressive.

There's so much to like in Cally's Caves 4 that it's difficult to find fault with it. Yes, it's tough, yes it's frustrating in places, but the whole time you're playing you're likely to have a huge grin on your face. If you're a fan of the series, or of old-school platformers in general, then do yourself a favour and pick this one up straight away.

A clunky but ultimately entertaining dungeon crawler that does what it sets out to do with aplomb.

BUTCHER is an incredibly slick and deliciously violent twin stick shooter that's found a perfect home on the Nintendo Switch. It's mobile friendly, thanks to the minute levels, and it runs like a dream on the hybrid console. If you're expecting something a little different, BUTCHER isn't it. But there's no way in hell you'll be disappointed with what's on offer here. It's a twin stick shooter to die for.

A thick and enjoyable auto-runner. It might have a few niggles, but it's still a lot of fun.

Splasher is an excellent platformer with interesting mechanics and beautiful level design.

It can feel a little bit grindy, but Sonic Forces: Speed Battle is actually a very fun multiplayer game in short doses.

A compact roguelike RPG with an interesting conceit, Moon Hunters falls down a little with repetitive action and clunky execution.

Jydge offers more of Neon Chrome's twin-stick carnage, but with a livelier tone and more open structure.

Jodeo is an oddly clumsy physics puzzler with a curious mixture of elements that that only occasionally come together.

It might not have the most meat on its bones, but it's definitely an improvement on its predecessor.

A bracingly pure puzzler that riffs off its button-pushing mechanic to brilliantly varied effect.

A tight blaster that has a few problems with tone, but is still an awful lot of fun.

A super sharp hardcore platform that wants to kill you, in the very best way, at every turn.

A third slice of oddly hypnotic bullet heaven action, Danmaku Unlimited 3 doesn't offer anything really new, but it's still a heck of a ride.

More Glyph Quest quality with a new free-to-play model. It’s a great investment for folks thirsty for new Glyph Quest fun. If you’re opposed to IAPs, however, there’s not enough new here to really justify the cost.

There's a decent chunk of space-based action here, but it loses its shine perhaps a little too quickly.

A frozen apocalypse and focus on tense survival makes Frost an original and challenging variation on the card game.

Elliot Quest is fun with beautifully designed dungeons, but the finer details and overall story fall short of what it needs make it a truly great game.
