    Gaming's roundest hero gets a second great game for his second wind. Very different from DX, and in many ways just as good. Get them both.

    Strange Horticulture is a very solid game for what it is. If you're interested in occult, folk-horror and mysteries you'll definitely be engaged. The unique gameplay will be familiar to players of point-and-click adventures and has some light puzzle elements. However, some issues from the translation to mobile do detract from the overall experience.

    Dazzingly deep, Lunar Knights is a complex and satisfying game with some nice tricks up its sleeve, although it is short by role-playing standards.

    ELOH is a thoroughly charming, delightfully percussive puzzler that's more concerned with rhythm and experimentation than box-ticking achievements.

    It might be a little short, but Subsurface Circular feels like it's found its forever home on the Switch.

    Sim City goes all Bill and Ted's Awesome Reconstruction Adventure. Quite simply the only regional administration simulation you need to own.

    An excellently-written retro-flavoured romp that is an utter joy, Space Age may be too simplistic for some, but its adventure and artistry is well worth your time. Highly recommended.

    Figure Fantasy is a refreshing take on idle gacha RPGs that makes it a must-try for fans of the genre (or fans of figure collections, for that matter). Its beautifully rendered in-game figurines will likely satisfy any figurine aficionado - or aggravate that unquenchable thirst to collect them all.

    Bold, blocky, and beguiling, Bernhard Schulenburg's puzzle platformer is an indie gem, a beautiful concept executed upon spectacularly.

    Mario takes on the roleplaying genre again and comes up trumps once more. Mario & Luigi is a carefully crafted adventure that's worth exploring even if you're not a huge fan of the classic platformers.

    The Pokémon TCG is a truly engrossing card battler. This digital version is generous with content and feels great, but technical hitches hold it back from greatness.
