Pilotwings Resort is classic Nintendo, providing enjoyable soaring action throughout. With only an evening's worth of content available however, the entertainment doesn't last very long.

It can conjure moments of brilliance, but ultimately The 3rd Birthday is bogged down by indecisive design choices.

There's a lot to like about Infestor, and despite a few niggles it offers an engaging, novel platform experience.

A nicely presented, if largely unexceptional, physics-based puzzler that's inventive enough to entertain for the duration of its relatively swift run-time.

Dropchord's thumping soundtrack hides a rather frustrating and repetitive game that just doesn't feel that satisfying to play.

Persona 5: The Phantom X offers an intriguing narrative and exciting combat. Unfortunately, the number of cutscenes severely outweighs the battles, marring what could have been an epic RPG.

Puzzler Collection does exactly what it needs and no more – a host of puzzles wrapped up in a frustrating interface.

A charming detective game that's perhaps a little too simplistic for its own good. Fans of Pokémon's fiction will lap it up, however, and in Detective Pikachu himself we have a new breakout star.

An enjoyably simple management sim that threads its theme and humour through every part of itself, Middle Manager of Justice is well worth your time.

The freedom and range of item management creates huge scope for personalised gameplay and strategy, and while the dawdling pace won't suit many, those able to respect the game's qualities should find the experience very rewarding.

Bill Killem is a notch above typical endless runners thanks to the ability to shoot down whatever's in your way.

FIFA 19 on Switch is a sharper, fuller package than FIFA 18. While it's a slick and playable effort, however, it feels like a job only half done, while the football itself feels a little stiff and one-dimensional.

This sequel may go beyond the portals, but does little to go beyond its predecessor. A decent game, even if it's only marginally better than the first.

Mega Jump 2 isn't particularly original, and it's 'save' system chips away at the experience, but this is an enjoyable descendant of Doodle Jump all the same.

A simple and entertaining airborne blaster, MetalStorm: Aces isn't revolutionary, but it's pretty enjoyable.

A dark and grimy adventure with some real tension, The Detail: Episode One - Where The Dead Lie might not have any tricky puzzles, but its story will pull you through.

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.

Need For Speed Carbon: Own The City lacks the spirit and energy we've come to expect from the series.

If you can grit your teeth and take its serious difficulty on the chin, Fractured Soul is a marvellous puzzle-platformer well worth the download.

Fun for a while, Gunpey just doesn't possess the deep gameplay required to be a classic puzzle game.

This sequel lacks the charm of many of its puzzler rivals, but still offers plenty of fiendish challenges to solve if you can overlook the sterile artwork.

An innovative collection of Breakout-themed mini-games, Nervous Brickdown is a well-designed and beautifully realised slice of DS pocket gaming.

Assassins Creed III Liberation isn't quite the poster child for Sony's neglected format that many were hoping for, but Vita owners should probably be grateful they get a dedicated adventure of their own. There's no telling whether the same will hold true this time next year.

Dead Trigger is totally braindead and quickly gets boring, but you'll find enough enjoyment for your 69p. In-app purchases and ill-thought-out controls can spoil the fun.

Expansive, gorgeous, hardcore, free: Real Racing 3 sets the new standard on mobile for racing games.

Fun, functional, flat: Farm Heroes Saga is a re-skin of a previous King game that by this point everyone has played to death.

Tough, beautiful, and easy to lose yourself in, Demon Gaze is a polished dungeon crawler with tons of challenge and charm.

A delightful free-to-play collect-'em-up that doesn't quite have the gameplay depth necessary to captivate all species of gamer.
