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.- Pocket Gamer UK

Don't Starve: Nintendo Switch Edition is perfect for survival and strategy-lovers, but it could've used a couple more weeks in testing to nip those pesky bugs in the bud. Though it's as fun as ever there's nothing different about this version and, especially if you've already sunk hours and hours into the game on PC, console, or mobile, there's no real need to pick this up again. I mean, unless you want to own it on the Switch.- Pocket Gamer UK

SpellBounders tinkers with the Scrabble template with mixed results, but it's never less than a thoroughly entertaining multiplayer word game.- Pocket Gamer UK

Although this port does little to spruce up a decade-old adventure, enough quality shines through to make Riven a worthwhile play.- Pocket Gamer UK

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is another admirable Switch port from Panic Button, which preserves the slick gunplay and hard-hitting story of the original. However, severe technical constraints make this a heavily compromised experience - especially in handheld.- Pocket Gamer UK

Not without its quirks, many of which are part and parcel of a ten-year old game, but the abundance of style and busy streets make Driver a continued success.- Pocket Gamer UK

Trick Shot would be a bit more satisfying if it had weightier ball physics and less demanding stages, but it's still a solid time-waster.- Pocket Gamer UK

My Hero One's Justice will keep you entertained for hours, but it is by no means an essential anime fighter.- Pocket Gamer UK

The Sailor's Dream is a gorgeous, meditative experience with heart and soul. But it's lacking in substance, depth, and meaningful interactivity.- Pocket Gamer UK

Three Fourths Home is practically over before it begins, but the themes, characterisation and narrative direction will haunt you for a long time afterwards.- Pocket Gamer UK

The Denpa Men 3 is as surreal as it is enjoyable. If you've been waiting for an RPG to lose yourself in, The Denpa Men 3 is sure to scratch that itch.- Pocket Gamer UK

A solid platform game that is well worth picking up despite falling just short in its slingshot leap towards greatness.- Pocket Gamer UK

Tiny Thief is a charming reduction of the point-and-click adventure, though its charm and polish cover over some pretty basic trial-and-error gameplay.- Pocket Gamer UK

Cube Escape: Paradox is another beguiling room-escape puzzler from Rusty Lake. It's compellingly atmospheric stuff, yet its puzzles are often frustratingly tangential.- Pocket Gamer UK

Like most endless runners, your mileage will vary with Run Sackboy! Run! which, while impressively handsome, is a surprisingly limited example of its genre.- Pocket Gamer UK

With clean graphics and fun mini-games, Music Jam is a good composition let down by slow pacing and poor music.- Pocket Gamer UK

Xevious is a true arcade classic, offering a delicate slice of shooting action that will seriously test your gaming skills. The asking price, however, is far too high to fully recommend.- Pocket Gamer UK

While not all of the puzzles in Dr Reiner Knizia's Brainbenders will take your fancy, there's enough in here to ensure that at least some of it will appeal. The over-arching mechanic adds flavour to ingredients that are otherwise sometimes bland.- Pocket Gamer UK

Although it has a few rough edges, Skate It nevertheless ollies over the competition and triumphantly kick-flips its way to the top of the DS skateboarding pile.- Pocket Gamer UK

There's plenty here to like if you're a fan of Monster Hunter or Pokemon, but ultimately this hybrid is less than the sum of its parts and is difficult to recommend over core games in either franchise.- Pocket Gamer UK
