    It scratches all the nostalgia spots but this retooling is a little too unforgiving where it matters most.

    • 80 Critic Score
    It might not knock the big racing games off their perches anytime soon, but as cheeky little commute games go, it's hard to find anything to complain about.

    It doesn't quite reach the heights of its inspiration, but Suzy Cube is still the best 3D platformer on the App Store.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Up Left Out is another finely honed puzzler from a developer that really knows their craft.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.

    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.

    It's not as interesting as it could've been, but the Donkey Kong Adventures DLC is a worthy addition to the core Mario + Rabbids experience.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    For all its silliness, Soccer Slammers is just too random to be really engaging.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle makes up for its lacking content with the kind of ridiculous, fun fighting that only Arc System Works can create.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Westworld is far more than just a reskinned Fallout Shelter, but its grind may be a little off-putting for some.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion is a tough new addition to the game, and one that all fans should rush back to play.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    You're going to want to love Dr.Meep, but the game does make it rather difficult.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A highly entertaining and surprisingly nuanced multiplayer game that comes up short with its single-player offering.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Relaxing, pretty, colourful and satisfying. Zen Bound 2 ticks all the necessary boxes as a puzzle game with motion controls, though you might actually want to wait for a sale on this one.

    Bloons TD 6 follows the tower defence template pretty much to the letter, but there's nothing here for people sick of the genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ark: Survival Evolved has some nice ideas, and it works surprisingly well on mobile, but it's still shackled by the problems of the genre.
    • 74 Metascore

    There's nothing broken about Silverfish DX, it's just that once you've got to the point where you want, no need, something more, it doesn't deliver. You'll find some fast arcade fun here, but in the end it wears out its welcome a little too quickly to recommend it in the most wholehearted terms.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    There's some sharp difficulty here, but it's not the sort of thing that's going to make you smash your phone. It's going to push you on deeper, and make you want to find out more. Feist isn't just another game that looks like a bunch of others, it's its own thing, full of wit and whimsy, horror and hardships. And you should do yourself a favour and pick it up right now.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    There are some nice ideas here, but in the end there just isn't enough peril.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fortnite is a free game that is already one of the Switch's best shooters. No reason not to jump in and play.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Brakes are for Losers has some nice ideas, but the package is one that's going to leave you frustrated more often than not.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Paladins is a worthy addition to the Switch, but it feels a bit soulless and shallow despite its breadth of heroes.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fallout Shelter on Switch is the same great game it's always been, but it's unclear why you'd jump from mobile to this version.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A clunky, frustratingly limited arcade football experience that doesn't live up to the classic football games it clearly wants to emulate.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is an absolutely essential purchase for any fan of the classic 2D games.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A rich and engaging midcore RPG experience that drips with quality from every pore.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's almost instantly forgettable, but Pokemon Quest is a charming and enjoyable way to fill the time before the bigger games land.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A tidy, well constructed room escape puzzler that's perhaps a little too slight for its own good.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Pocket-Run Pool is a brilliantly judged single-player reimagining of everyone's favourite pub game.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    At the end of the day, if you've not played Ikaruga before and you love a good shooter, you'd be doing yourself a disservice missing out on its latest release.
