    Antihero gets mobile board gaming in 2018 off to a really impressive start. It's fun, it's fast, and you're going to lose a good deal of time in its skullduggery and underhand activities.

    A bright, well put together mash up of ideas that's pretty damn compelling.

    Human: Fall Flat is a wobbly and aggravating physics-based game that, despite its shortcomings, is still a bucket-load of fun.

    Prizefighters is an accessible, fluid brawler that just lacks a little personality and misses a few of its hits.

    It's not classic Sonic, but it's a lot more fun than you might be expecting.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A wonderfully violent, often hilarious roguelike that's a great addition to any Switch collection.
    • 86 Metascore

    A bright and funny reworking of Bridge Constructor with some special Aperture Science trappings.

    The End is Nigh isn't a platformer for the faint-hearted but it will keep you addicted for a good long while, and feels right at home on the Switch.

    Gorogoa's thousands of illustrations coalesce into a cleverly designed puzzler that's as compelling to play as it is to watch.

    A slick and well put together free to play board game. It's not the greatest game ever, but it's worth a look.

    Frustration is common in Getting Over It, yet its sense of progression and improvement can be quite addictive.

    Like a Boss doesn't do enough with its setting to set it apart from the rest of the crowd.

    This might not be the best way to play the game, but if you exclusively play on mobile it's a brilliant addition to any homescreen. It's tight, it's tense, and some of the puzzles you need to solve are crafted brilliantly. This is the sort of grim, ghastly, and utterly compelling adventure that really hammers home just how interesting videogames can be if they step outside the bright colours and gacha mechanics that persist throughout the App Store.

    A tough, generously proportioned retro 2D platformer package - with a decent match-three puzzler thrown in as a bonus.

    A good port of a great game. It's not perfect, but it still captures most of the magic of the original.

    The Sexy Brutale is an immensely enjoyable game and it's easy to understand how it's received such high praise on other platforms. Sadly, the Switch port isn't the best. It suffers from mild audio and major performance issues that a person with lesser patience would find it hard to get through, and that's a real shame.

    or the most part, Game Dev Tycoon remains the phenomenal game it always was. You'll sit down to play for just a few minutes, and lose hours instead. Its core gameplay and presentation is simple, but it's so engaging that you'll celebrate every success and despair over every failure. If you've played Game Dev Tycoon before, it's much the same as it always was, and it's made the leap to mobile successfully. If you've never played it, now is the time.

    A calm and intriguing match-stuff puzzler that's likely to appeal to anyone sick of being shouted at.

    Mantis Burn Racing is a fine arcade racer with tight handling, a strong campaign mode, and flexible multiplayer options.

    The Uncertain gets off to a poor start in its first episode, thanks to poor writing, uninspired puzzles, and a wonky camera.

    • 60 Critic Score
    A decent enough wild west shooter, but there's not much here after the initial thrill.
    • 81 Metascore

    A clever choose-your-own-adventure game that's going to keep you occupied for a good long while.

    • 50 Critic Score
    An ambitious open world action game that frustrates and obfuscates with its disparate parts and rough edges.

    Amazing Katamari Damacy might not be the full KD experience, but it's still a slick and engaging mobile version.

    Pocket Legends Adventures has a solid RPG at its core, but it's wrapped up in painful amounts of grinding and waiting.

    Hoppenhelm doesn't set any new standards for the endless runner or the stripped-back mobile platformer genre, but it is a highly enjoyable time waster. If you find yourself lapping up Nitrome's moreish arcade gems faster than the developer can supply them, this is a more than worthy tribute.

    If you're looking for an idler that takes away a good deal of the idling, then you're going to enjoy Tap Busters. It looks amazing, some of the character design is top notch, and there's a decent chunk of sci-fi humour running through it too.

    A love letter to Pokemon past and present, that's also an incredible game in its own right.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a rough diamond that is both demanding and delightful, but one that raises the bar for portable RPGs higher than ever before.
