    A simple shoot and score highscore game, Flick Kick Football is ephemeral fun.

    Afterpulse almost certainly shouldn't be as good as it is, but it is as good as it is, and you should definitely play it.

    A fast and reasonably flashy arcade blast with a few tricks up its retro sleeve.

    Though it is short, it's incredibly detailed and impactful. If it'd be stretched out for the sake of time, the story would have dragged and chase scenes would grow tedious. Instead what we get is a bite-sized adventure with an awful lot of punchy content. It can be a little on the nose at times, but it all comes down to whether you enjoy it or not. Did I enjoy it? Yes, I did.

    The combat here is good fun, and it's presented well, but technical issues and no multiplayer damages its long-term appeal.

    DOTT: Remastered is an almost perfect marriage of well-written story, devious, yet genius puzzles, mesmerizing art, and succulent, soulful symphonies.

    Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a beautifully charming perspective puzzler that deserved a second chance at success. It's also a decent - though not quite perfect - fit on Switch.

    If you're willing to forgive its foibles this is a fresh and exciting narrative driven experience like no other.

    A well-built and novel take on the tower defence genre, Anthill: Tactical Trail Defence doesn't quite fulfil its promise, but it's still worthy of your attention.

    A spectacular kick in the teeth of the endless-runner genre, Boson X is a brilliant, twitching wonder.
