A competent freemium card-collecting RPG that lacks the spark or tactical depth to prompt you into exploring or spending further.

Shoot the zombies in the face and then get better guns and then shoot the zombies in the face again and so on and so forth.

A golf game that strips a lot of things away, but manages to still hold the basic essence of the game.

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

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.

The VideoKid is a mostly safe play on Paperboy that excels when going wild with its garish visuals and legally-questionable references.

A beautifully made attempt at an interactive narrative, The Act never quite manages to successfully blend its story and the player's inputs.

Mazes of Fate is a classic example of a lovingly crafted yet off-beat GBA title – it might smell a bit iffy but the gameplay can be truly intoxicating.

A fun, if curiously uninspired, entry in the Yoshi's Island series, featuring superb art and sound, but very few new gameplay ideas.

D-Day's strategic undertones are welcome, but overall the game is too drawn out and generally lacking in tension to truly captivate, other than in short sporadic bursts.

The basics are creatively executed, but, while enjoyable, the resultant experience falls far short of reinventing anything – let alone brilliance.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 may be a cut-down port, but if you can forgive its rough edges you're in for a treat.

Typically, Crayola Treasure Adventures is a far better colouring-book than it is a game. There's very little range, and the mini-games won't hold your kids' attention for long, but if you're sick of losing crayons down the back of the couch this may be for you.

Though it comes with a new subscription service, in truth Tetris is as addictive now as it ever was, and EA's latest manages to fuse old with new in what proves to be a welcome update.

Like a sliding puzzle meshed with Rubik's Cube, Art Style: NEMREM is thought provoking but dull.

With an improved single-player campaign, online multiplayer and stacks of customisation options, Worms 2: Armageddon is a significant improvement over the original.

A solid twin-stick shooter with an interesting evolutionary twist, but the execution doesn't quite match up to the concept.
