    RWBY: Amity Arena isn't a bad Clash Royale-a-like, but there are so many better mobile MOBAs out there it might as well be.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    One of the best MMOs comes to mobile with most of its charm and playability intact.

    A perfectly-sized, well thought out roguelike that's got a lot more to it than meets the eye.
    • 61 Metascore

    Gal Metal is a great idea that fits well on the Switch, but sloppy pacing and a crushing difficulty curve make it hard to recommend.

    My Hero One's Justice will keep you entertained for hours, but it is by no means an essential anime fighter.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Windjammers is one of the finest co-op games in any genre, and it remains as essential now as it was back in 1994.

    A wonderfully violent and perfectly challenging shooter.

    Candies n' Curses is a perfect example of meshing together the old and the new. It's as old a concept as any we've seen recently on mobile, but it's presented in the most modern ways. If this was an arcade game from the era it's aping, then it'd be a hundred times harder, and less fun. Instead you get a game that's all about the balance. The balance between failure and success, retro and modern, control and madness. And where it matters, it gets each of those balancing acts just right.

    Euclidean Skies is really good. It could have been great, but don't let that put you off.

    Shump is a brilliant mash-up of shooting, jumping, and dodging, and when it's at its best it'll leave you breathless.
    • 73 Metascore

    Black Bird is difficult, weird, and an utterly brilliant shmup you need to check out right now.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Stardew Valley is a fantastic experience as ever, but it's let down by its awkward combat controls.
    • 60 Metascore

    A disappointing entry that proves itself incapable of overcoming the issues of its forebears - Warriors Orochi 4 is, simply put, a relic.
    • 74 Metascore

    Luigi's Mansion is a truly wonderful game, but the 3DS was the wrong place to port it.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    New additions, characters you already love, and the chance to sit on the Iron Throne - Reigns: Game of Thrones is well worth a play.
    • 75 Metascore

    The Room is always going to be good, but playing on Nintendo Switch isn't the best choice.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    ELOH is a thoroughly charming, delightfully percussive puzzler that's more concerned with rhythm and experimentation than box-ticking achievements.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    For the asking price though, it's hard not to recommend this if you've got a few pals or family members around. Like that Saturday night game of Monopoly, it's all good fun so long as someone doesn't flip the board.

    It's cruel and dark, but there's more to Grimvalor than just another Souls-game riff.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The World Ends With You is a wonderful game, but this Final Remix doesn't quite to it justice.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Incredible, silky smooth fighting action paired with some incredible visuals makes this easily one of the best looking games on Switch, and quite possibly the best looking fighting game to ever grace a handheld.
    • 79 Metascore

    Though it's a tad short, The Gardens Between is a beautiful puzzler with some wonderfully clever ideas.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Midnight Sanctuary is fantastically bizarre both visually and narratively, but it won't convert you to visual novels.
    • 76 Metascore

    Super Mario Party is what you'd expect from the series - short bursts of fun that everyone can enjoy .
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Stockpile is a weighty game, but if you put the time in you're going to get a lot out of it.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    For fans of gacha games, Dragalia Lost is one of the best of the bunch. However, Dragalia Lost is still, at its core, more of the same.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Wandersong is a puzzle-platformer unlike anything you've seen before, and it deserves a place on your Switch right now.
    • 71 Metascore

    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.

    There's plenty to like about Hovercraft: Battle Arena, but once you've got to grips with it, there's not much else to do.

    There are some nice moments in Hooky Crook, and for the most part they're interesting enough to keep you playing.
