    Pikuniku is a seemingly simple game packed full of clever ideas and smart design. It does a lot with very little, and makes for a delightful puzzle-platformer in doing so. It's single-player mode can feel a bit meandering and frustrating at times as you struggle to make any meaningful progress, and its co-op is brilliant but just a little too short. But despite all this, it's a game that platformer fans simply must play. It's sheer brilliance wrapped in a silly, cute package, and it's by far one of the smartest platformers on Switch to date.

    Cartoony, simple, and entertaining, Rune Raiders offers a great introduction into turn-based strategy games. It just doesn't have enough to keep the veteran strategist engaged.

    One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition is over-the-top action at its finest, and a great entry point to the One Piece anime.

    The melodramatic use of weapons and curious lack of online multiplayer can't stop Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit from offering cheap arcade racing thrills.

    Paper Monsters is a beautiful, imaginative, and charming, and technically proficient platformers that's only let down by less than stellar gameplay.

    A finely-tuned port from Xbox to iPad, but Mutant Storm feels flat and unsatisfying in comparison to far better blasters on the App Store.

    Crimson Shroud is one of the most finely crafted games available on the Nintendo 3DS, though the tabletop setting may prove difficult for some to engage with.

    Smart, slick, and seriously well made. Housemarque does it again.

    A simple, well-presented and fun game, iBomber 2 builds on the original with enough additions and improvements to keep the experience fresh.

    Handsome and unrepentant, Rip Off combines borrowed gameplay and artistic concepts to create something that justifies its theft.

    A nice trip down memory lane, Kaptain Brawe: Brawe New World doesn't bring any of its own ideas to the party, but it's an enjoyable diversion all the same.

    Packing in character from start to finish, MacGuffin's puzzle play ultimately doesn't entertain enough in its own right to enable the game to stand out from the crowd.

    Grandpa and the Zombies is an engaging puzzle game that works the part of your body that zombies covet most.

    Prime World: Defenders is tower defence-meets-card collecting. And while there's plenty of meat on the bones, some irksome issues take the shine off things slightly.

    A sweet-natured and appealing puzzler with a smattering of rhythm action. Entertaining but brief and a bit lacking in depth.

    A fast-paced platformer delivered in easy to manage chunks, Duke Dashington is an impressive twist on the formula.

    Heroes and Castles 2 makes a mess of both its genres, offering mushy action and brainless strategy that rarely merge in a satisfying way.

    It's Puzzle Craft too, and if you don't have a problem with that then you're going to enjoy this sequel.

    An intense blast of hardcore shoot 'em up action packed full of delightful touches. The only problem with Metal Slug 3 on iOS is that it obviously wasn't designed with touch controls in mind.

    Ratchet & Clank HD Trilogy is worth your time on Vita, regardless of whether you have nostalgia for the PS2 versions.

    Pode is a little bit pricey, but if you've got someone to play with it's a great example of what couch co-op should be.

    Aliens: Infestation is the side-scrolling Metroid you've been waiting for, and will especially excite fans of the original movie.

    Difficult but rewarding, Race Driver: Create & Race earns a place on the winner's podium, even if it doesn't play fairly all of the time.

    Magic Orbz is a cheerily presented Breakout clone that adds physics-based destruction and some fun power-ups to the mix. But, it's still a Breakout clone.

    A surprisingly brilliant game of throwing axes into people's heads. It's polished, it's packed with action, and although it's not the weightiest game in the world, it's still well worth picking up.

    Technically brilliant and often thrilling, but also considerably lighter than its predecessor and unable to provide the same long-term appeal.

    Building on the series' heritage, Mega Man ZX is a refined title that, although not without flaws, brings quality action platforming to the DS.

    Ravensword: Shadowlands's enthralling fantasy world, solid RPG mechanics, and wide-eyed sense of adventure make it an epic proposition - despite a couple of obvious weaknesses.

    Star Battalion unsuccessfully tries to make up for mediocre gameplay with online co-operative multiplayer and high-definition graphics.
