    Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
    Bloodstained is an inventive twist on the Castlevania formula, but a lack of visual quality and control frustrations prevent this port from wholly doing it justice.

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning
    There's nothing wrong or broken about Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning on Switch, it's just an uninspired experience that pales in comparison to the genre greats.

    Reiner Knizia's The Confrontation
    Though the interface isn’t quite as natural as I’d wish, you do get used to it pretty quickly, and what’s left is a genuinely wonderful game.

    Lifeline: Flatline
    Shifting the focus has helped Flatline morph into its own game... [But] in doing so it's lost some of what made Lifeline special in the first place.

    King and Assassins
    A well designed and quick playing abstract strategy game that unfortunately becomes repetitive after only a few plays.

    Talisman: Horus Heresy
    Fans of both Talisman and Warhammer 40,000, will like this one, fans of neither should take a different warp jump.

    Subnautica: Below Zero
    Subnautica: Below Zero embraces all the elements needed to create a strong survival game, though it suffers from repetition and immersion-breaking performance issues on Nintendo Switch.

    Sheltered
    Sheltered will test your mettle and patience more than your wits, but has unique merits even when compared to other survival games.

    Mario Golf: Super Rush
    Super Rush is a great party game but lacks replayability. If you can get past the XC golf portion of adventure mode, you’re bound to have a solid few hours of solo fun as well.

    Peninsular War Battles
    For all the attention given to orders of battles and battlefield terrain, Peninsular War Battles remains a typical simplistic game. The recent Hold the Line shows Hexwar can do better. Thought should be given to upgrading their older games rather than just recycling them to different platforms.

    Steam: Rails to Riches
    Overall, it’s a lot to enjoy. But you need to know what you’re getting into. There are dragons here. Sometimes they are logical ones, sometimes iron. Either way, there’s a lot of satisfaction to be had in slaying them.

    Adventure To Fate : Quest To The Future JRPG
    If you’re the kind of person who enjoys the battle systems of JRPGs but couldn’t care less about the story, Quest to the Future is for you.

    Loop8: Summer of Gods
    While the gameplay isn’t for everyone, the world is intriguing and delightful to discover. Those who are fans of visual novels, social simulators, and battles against mysterious monsters will enjoy Loop8: Summer of Gods.

    Tomb Raider Reloaded
    Tomb Raider: Reloaded has much potential thanks to featuring a videogame legend, but janky controls that suffer from sluggishness and delays ensure it’s not a smooth experience.

    Planar Conquest
    If you are a fan of 4X games though this is an easy purchase.

    Isle of Skye
    Isle of Skye is a terrific board game, it is just a pity that the app wasn’t thoroughly play-tested before being released.

    Missile Command: Recharged
    Atari returns to one of its classic franchises for the first time in over a decade to deliver a faithful revival. The old gameplay has aged well, but screams to be revamped and reinvented, neither of which you’ll find in Missile Command: Recharged.

    Football Drama
    Easy on the eye and showing lots of promise, but a lack of quality in the final third means that Football Drama falls short of greatness.

    Game of Thrones Beyond the Wall
    A standard gacha RPG that suffers from the same issues as the genre in general, so will only appeal to those that already like it and Game of Thrones.
    • 70 Metascore

    The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands
    A nice-to-look-at clicker/survival-sim. Nothing terribly wrong with it, but nothing exciting either.

    Paperback: The Game
    While lacking functionality, Paperback is a fun and smart deck/word-building game that can only get better over time.

    Space Grunts 2
    Uncharacteristic of developer OrangePixel, Space Grunts 2 is a sequel that’s relatively tame on genre innovation. It stands as a serviceable roguelike deck builder in a world where excellent ones like Slay the Spire exist.

    7 Wonders
    This port of a classic boardgame gets the big picture right but is starting to show its age.

    Lords of the Fallen
    A competent game, but one that seems to have hit the market three years too late while still demands a premium price.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Siege of Dragonspear
    The Siege of Dragonspear is a tale well told in a form that remains compelling, if showing its age. If you liked Baldur's Gate and its sequel, you will probably like Dragonspear too, though it does not reach the heights of its venerable predecessors.

    Dokapon Kingdom: Connect
    A cult classic reborn on the Switch with all its original quirks, including its flaws.

    Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron
    Warhammer 40K Dakka Squadron is made by people who clearly love 40K, and Orks. But, while that leads to lots of initial fun, the game can eventually wear thin with repetitive levels and an incredibly dated aesthetic.
    • 83 Metascore

    Minesweeper Genius
    A neat twist on an old classic, but lacking in variety and challenge.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Devouring Stars
    It’s impressive both visually and mechanically, showcasing lots of innovation to get the most from its minimalist mechanics. The fact it doesn’t do better is, I suspect, more a comment of the difficulty of making satisfying real-time strategy on mobile than it is on the game itself.
    • 64 Metascore

    Blanc
    Like a red wine stain on a stark white dress, Blanc spoils its pristine visual style with a combination of frustrating controls, stubborn camera angles, and restrictive puzzle solutions. I love walking through the beautiful wilderness as the adorable animals, but when I try and think of good gameplay, I’m drawing a blank.
