    Felix The Reaper
    Felix the Reaper invites players into this rich, quirky, and tragically romantic world of hilarious deaths and bop-your-head-to-the-beat dance moves, but ultimately falls short on creating a more compelling gaming experience. Dive into it for a puzzle or two a day, but it’s not something you’ll likely be absorbed into from the get-go.

    Crying Suns
    Easily one of the best strategy games of recent years, and somehow even better on mobile. Its replayability is hampered by its story focus, and its chapter separation was unexpected, but gameplay-wise there's not a single fault.

    Pokemon Cafe Mix
    Pokémon Café Mix is a cute puzzle game with an even cuter art style, but that adorable aesthetic can’t mask a simple, but tiring puzzler. There’s nothing wrong with this game, and it’s worth a shot, but it’s not likely to keep you playing for more than a day or two.

    Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise
    Deadly Premonition 2's is a game built exclusively for fans of the original, and even they will be put off by the endless bugs, horrible performance, and questionable design.

    One Punch Man: Road to Hero 2.0
    One Punch Man: Road to Hero 2.0 lacks any kind of imagination or inspiration. This was always meant to be a gacha cash-in featuring OPM characters, and it doesn't even do that well. This game exists to take your money, not entertain you, and you shouldn't even deign to download it.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Death Come True
    Death Come True is a thriller devoid of tension, a comedy lacking in laughs, and a mystery that is unlikely to elicit more than a shrug.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Academy: The First Riddle
    The Academy: The First Riddle boasts a vibrant, mysterious setting, though control woes and hit-or-miss puzzles routinely threaten to throw its fantastical adventure off track.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Little Orpheus
    A compelling story and exceptional soundtrack which is held back only by the frequent flaws of the game type and a shortage of innovative in-game mechanics.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Slay the Spire
    Slay The Spire was already a sub-genre defining classic, now that it's available handheld it can be played on the go, or away from the big screen, and that's great. It's a competent port which, with a little tweaking and refinement, could be perfect.

    ATOM RPG
    Fans of CRPGs will discover a lot to love in Atom RPG and might even find some of its lesser flaws - like occasionally wonky writing - to be endearing. For those who usually avoid the genre, however, it certainly isn't going to change their mind.

    Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm
    Oceanhorn 2 is a stew of old ideas and nostalgia granted new life on mobile; a technical showcase though it may be, this well-intentioned love letter to all things Zelda remains overly enamoured with its biggest inspiration.

    If Found...
    If Found... paints a full and vibrant picture of a young woman at a pivotal point in her life, fit with the devastating lows and ethereal highs that give it balance and make Kasio's story essential and illuminating.

    Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition
    DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is a premium adventure with a premium price. Regardless, this runs great on iOS, and is an essential adventure if you've never played it before.

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons
    Animal Crossing; New Horizons, much like its predecessors, operates outside of the boundaries of most games. While the most tension you'll ever feel is while sprinting away from wasps, there's a warmth and comfort in the code which you won't find almost anywhere else.

    Football Manager 2020 Mobile
    By combining its predecessor’s accessibility with new features for the seasoned pro, Football Manager Touch 20 dethrones last year’s instalment to become the most definitive football management sim on mobile.

    Luigi's Mansion 3
    Luigi's spooky Switch debut revels in the details whilst stealthily expanding his horizons. Scarily good fun.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition
    With an engaging, lengthy story and a shockingly good technical presentation, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt easily becomes Nintendo Switch's best port, and one of the best RPGs on the system. If you haven't played it yet, do so immediately.

    Overwatch (2016)
    Well polished, looks great, and plays well, Overwatch is a great shooter on Switch, let down by loot box mechanics and a lack of a decent progression or reward system.

    Mario Kart Tour
    Monetization really does stand out as being greedy and egregious, but it can't mask what is an otherwise fun adaptation of the Mario Kart formula on mobile.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Telling Lies
    With a few extra features Telling Lies, the game, would be perfect. As a narrative experience experiment it is, however, utterly unmatched and deserves to be talked about for years.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
    The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on Switch reasserts the original's position as one of the richest, strangest and most affecting games in the series.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Raiders of the North Sea
    When you take an award winning, perfect board game and you give it to a qualified, competent team, you get a perfect digital board game adaptation.

    Oxxo
    OXXO is yet another fantastic puzzle game from Hamster on Coke. While the game flies by fast it oozes style from start to finish.
    • 66 Metascore

    Wolfenstein: Youngblood
    Might not please established Wolfenstein fans, but Youngblood is still a great shooter on Switch.

    • 80 Critic Score
    The Kreator
    The Kreator might never set the world on fire, especially what with its lack of content, but if you're looking for something relaxing to do for five minutes every day, and you've no interest in meditation or mindfulness exercises, then it's a worthwhile download.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Hamsterdam
    Hamsterdam achieves something that very few games manage to; Its densely packed action and animation make it almost impossible to put the game down, even if it becomes incredibly obvious early on that you are watching the same animations and performing the same actions over and over.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Automachef
    Automachef is a brilliant, hard-as-nails puzzler which challenges you to think like a robot while simultaneously cultivating a distinctly human sense of creativity.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Etherborn
    Despite some striking visuals, Etherborn carries little weight; it's ultimately fleeting in both gameplay memorability.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dragon Quest Builders 2
    Dragon Quest Builders 2 is an inventive and engrossing sequel, offering a significant, graceful expansion of scale.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    What Remains of Edith Finch
    What Remains of Edith Finch doesn't lose anything in its transition to Switch, and its gorgeous, harrowing tale remains as impactful as ever.
