Sigi - A Fart for Melusina is a fun, retro inspired platformer and whilst you probably won't be revisiting this flatulent little fella too often it's a lovingly inspired homage to some Nintendo greats.

Tied Together offers fun, co-op, trial-and-error gameplay in its short runtime. The price is a little steep, but few games do co-op platforming this well. The players being tied together brings everyone closer for decision-making and that’s a recipe for great fun.

Some dodgy voice acting and a generally generic aesthetic don’t do a great job of boosting this Star Fox-esque shooter into hyperspace. However, fans of the genre might find some fun in amongst the asteroid field of Star Wars references.

With plenty of levels and modes, as well as a recipe for some hilarious gameplay, there’s a lot to like with Never Breakup. However, it’s missing a lot of the polish that would make it an easy recommendation, and it definitely isn’t worth your time on your own.

Clive ‘N’ Wrench is a love letter to 90s nostalgia and 3D platforming. It gets a lot right but falls short of providing the intended experience due to needless bugs and glitches.

New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers features a gameplay loop that's quite entertaining, and it's definitely one of those pleasurable, time-consuming style titles. I cannot suggest it if you’re not fond of the town-building simulation genre though, as it is not as nice to see as it is to play.

Completely lacking in humour and with AI opponents that often struggle to put together a coherent sentence, Oh…Sir! The Insult Simulator is one to be missed. Thankfully its sequel improves upon this game in every single way.

An improvement from last year's edition, but things are still too disappointing on the field. Glitches do seem to have been minimised after last year's effort, and a new mode gives some depth off the field, but I was looking for more thrills on it.

The Switch is perfectly suited to strategy games, but ACORN Tactics isn't one that should automatically go in your collection. It's a shame, because despite being quite charming, it isn't any fun.

Rise & Shine is an enjoyable if brief romp through a world of gaming nods and shows off a few neat puzzling ideas. There should be more to the package, though.

Clock Simulator is a somewhat challenging but often repetitive rhythm game that lacks the necessary motivation to keep it interesting for long. The addition of multiplayer also fails to give it the extra time it needs.

Super Ping Pong Trick Shot is a game you probably wouldn't even buy on a mobile device to waste a bit of time, let alone a dedicated gaming system. It's cheap, but so are some other eShop titles and your money is better spent elsewhere.

V-Rally 4 aims to be a solid sim racer on Switch comparable to its PS4 and Xbox One counterparts, but the limited power of Nintendo’s hybrid console sees it spinning its wheels too often.

Taxi Chaos sadly misses all the charm and fun Crazy Taxi came with. With poor graphics, simple gameplay and a ridiculous £31.49 price point, it’s hard to recommend this arcade game.

Baseball Riot is a textbook puzzle game that struggles to add anything to the core ideas, a fun setting and plenty of levels don't really hide that this game is relatively uninspired. It's by no means bad but can be hard to recommend to everyone.

Electro Ride: The Neon Racing has a unique enough visual style to successfully set itself apart from other arcade racers on Switch. However, poor vehicle handling and the indecision of which type of core racing audience to appeal to gives it a limited appeal.

Super Hyperactive Ninja is a fast-paced, action-platformer that fails to keep up the pace. Although there is some fun to be had with a decent content load and speed running potential, there just isn’t enough to keep you motivated.

Marooners has bite-size gameplay bursts like WarioWare, but doesn’t manage to quickly grab the attention in the same way. Too many similar games make this feel like just another party game.

Empire of Sin is a weird mixture of half-baked ideas and poorly executed concepts. At times, you can notice glimpses of potential, but in its current state the game is so broken that you can have more enjoyment with any other title in the genre.

Embr delivers on its promise of frantic firefighting chaos. However, with performance issues and multiplayer snags raining down on the Switch version, it’s a weaker experience compared to the crossplay-enabled counterparts.

Overall, Poker Club is an enjoyable game that, for such a small price, holds hundreds of hours of gameplay. If you’re a poker fan then this is definitely for you.

Overall, Ikai is a psychological horror game that only provides horror through its lack of direction, scare tactics, and numerous graphical issues. The atmosphere it creates is brilliant, but it is a disappointment in every other aspect.

Drawn To Life: Two Realms appears familiar, but when you start to play it, it just falls apart at the seams. Everything that made the originals fun, particularly the touchscreen controls, has been disregarded, leaving a huge disappointment behind.

Modern Combat: Blackout is a soulless experience. The campaign is repetitive and dull. The Switch might be lacking a military shooter, but Modern Combat: Blackout is still best left on mobile devices.

While the morals that the game tries to tell are good ones – since when is kicking almighty lumps out of bullies not a good thing – it would have been nice to see a bit more complexity added to the arsenal of attacks. It feels like a game that a mobile device would be able to handle with no trouble – and the Switch needs to be above that level in order to sway families away from mobile gaming and back to a trusty console.

While strong on storyline and overall feel, the control system stopped Milanoir being great. Repetitive sequences didn't help, either - there were times where the action sequences had me bored, and were a chore to complete.

The Forbidden Arts will remind you of those old 99p bargain bin games with a drab colour palette, annoying music and half-baked combat. Some platforming elements are enjoyable, but the overall package is a chore rather than a joy to play.

Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure captures the essence of the movies and Scrat’s erratic mannerisms accurately, but the uninspiring platforming and awful performance make it a port worthy of extinction. So what killed the dinosaurs? In this case, the framerate.

Midnight Deluxe goes for the 2D arcade golf mechanics and even manages to find some creative levels that utilise them well but a lack of refined control and limited playing options leave this game failing to fulfil any potential that's on offer.

Brotherhood United‘s target audience is unclear – purists have better alternatives available and newbies probably won’t be sold on the genre by the flaws on show. Still, this is a decent enough game for a couple of hours at most.

It may look the part, and it may even manage a reasonable shot at a puzzle platformer, but YesterMorrow’s parts don’t really combine smoothly enough to produce the gameplay experience that this sprawling, challenging adventure deserves.

Broken Blades promises a blend of platforming, roguelite, and RPG. Sadly, behind its Scribblenauts-style cartoon sprites is ultimately a lazy game. It’s all let down by the individual pieces only ever being “good enough”. No love, effort, or creativity is infused to elevate it to something beyond a game I never, ever want to play ever again.

RIOT – Civil Unrest is an interesting concept poorly executed, resulting in a tedious game that fails to achieve its own lofty aspirations. The distinction between police and protester is valid, but is executed in a way that leaves you wanting greater insight.

Panty Party’s eShop listing has a warning that the game does not feature any hentai content, but I honestly feel like it would be better if it did; at least a hentai game has an obvious audience with a clear purpose. As it is now, this game just isn’t dumb enough or openly degenerate enough to have any real appeal. It’s a dumb story that takes itself too seriously to laugh at but not seriously enough to be engaged in, and the gameplay is too boring to keep from getting old after just a handful of chapters. I cannot imagine who Panty Party’s audience is because it seems to be trying to coast entirely on curiosity born from its bizarre high concept.

Storm Boy: The Game is an interesting take on interactive storytelling, and young children or fans of the book may find enjoyment here, but its short length and lack of any real gameplay make it one worth passing on for the average Switch Player.

If you’re looking for a nightmarish title with eerie environments, nail-biting and butt-clenching moments of suspense, then you’re betting off looking at Limbo or Little Nightmares. Selma and the Wisp gets dull very quickly.

Despite the very pleasing sound and visuals, Slain is just too unforgiving to be as fun as it should be. I'm glad I've finished it, because those damned flying enemies swooping down on me are giving me nightmares.

Thief of Thieves may get some things right, but this stealth adventure comes with a host of issues of varying severity. The most notable of these is a completion-preventing bug, so we’d suggest steering clear unless a patch is released.

Despite being inherently flawed on a technical level, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition excels in opening a window to three amazing crime-driven open world classics on Nintendo Switch. Just don’t go in expecting complete greatness.

Inksplosion is an entirely mediocre experience that fails to stand out amongst stronger titles in the arcade shooter genre. Pretty colours do little to distract from its boring, repetitive gameplay.

Legend of the Skyfish is a game with potential, but unclear direction. It lacks incentive, and its story feels like too small pieces of something more. There is some variety on offer between the islands, but a tedious drawn-out tutorial-esque start dampens the experience.

Ego Protocol: Remastered is a puzzle title which provides more irritation than it does satisfaction. The fiddly tile-sliding proves so much of a chore that there’s little to no motivation to go on and get three-star scores on each level.

Soulblight won't be for everyone. It's for those who enjoy making use of their RPG skills to navigate tight roguelike environments. But it's all rather samey and is unlikely to attract a new audience to the genre.

Make War is a promising strategy game that is plagued by localisation issues. If you’re still interested in its unique simulation elements, I’d recommend playing it on PC to avoid the frustration of using a cursor on the Switch.

It's a shame to report that this one's a disappointment. All of the excitement that should have been is replaced by turn-based u-turns, trying to get into a position to shoot the opponent. Avoid.

Lust for Darkness doesn’t really deliver what its trailer promises. The scares aren’t great, other than the jarring ‘caught’ noise on the short stealth section. With a short run-time, it’s an underwhelming experience.

Violett is a pretty looking point and click title that does have its moments but is let down by poor storytelling and some strange design choices. Fans of the genre and newcomers alike will find the game to have a certain charm, but frustrations will creep in and I found myself appreciating the stalwarts of the genre even more by the time I saw the end credits.

I really wanted to enjoy Dream Alone. Whilst it's clear that certain aspects are inspired by the likes of Super Meat Boy, the platforming elements just don't hold up as well. The unforgiving deaths and inability to see where you're going most of the time makes the whole experience a bit of a disappointment.

A game which seems to draw a lot from Resident Evil, Vaccine is more than just a clone; it's a hard-as-nails rendition of what the series would be like if it was procedurally generated and smaller in scope. At this they've succeeded, and have managed to weave in some fun to boot. It's not the best Resident Evil clone I've ever played, but it's better than average - and the gameplay twists are both addictive and satisfying in their own right.

It’s got some visual polish, but with the steep price point, this 4 hour experience is well below par, and I struggle to recommend even for die hard fans of the genre.

Mecho Tales is a beautiful game that takes homage from classic platform games such as Mega Man, sadly its dull gameplay doesn't quite match the effort put into the designs of the characters and worlds leaving a mediocre adventure in its wake.

A short experience, DYING: Reborn lacks too much in satisfying puzzle experience to stand out from the eShop crowd.

On paper, The Elder Scrolls: Blades proposes to deliver a light version of the seminal The Elder Scrolls RPG experience. Despite providing some solid gameplay mechanics, it is plagued by poor performance, an always-online limitation, and predatory microtransactions.

Oh…Sir! The Hollywood Roast is an unexpectedly fun critique of the film industry. Its sense of humour will not be for everyone, but crafting insults is an engaging and sometimes cathartic experience.

Hollow Knight this is not. With a flawed control system, dreadful music, and painfully unfair platforming, this is a game you will want to end as quickly as possible. Thankfully it is over in about an hour.

The only thing you can safely rely on with Totally Reliable Delivery Service is that it will fail to deliver an experience worth playing and will leave you wishing you could print a postage label and return to sender.

Wheels of Aurelia is a disappointing attempt at bringing the Visual Novel genre to the Switch, it's too short to be engaging, and at its current price tag seems a bit too steep.

Car Mechanic Simulator is free on phones, but £14.99 on the Switch eShop. Just play it on the phone – you won’t play it more than once, anyway.

Assault Gunners HD Edition just misses the mark on being a good title. What should be a title full of thrilling mech actions ends up being dead weight.

The Bradwell Conspiracy had everything going for it but unfortunately fails to deliver. The narrative may be decent, but thanks to the awkward gameplay, technical issues, and frustrating user experience, it’s hard to recommend without some serious patching.

Save your money on this one and opt for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Nickelodeon Kart Racers is not an enjoyable racer to play and whilst it has some interesting ideas adding an RPG element to the mix, it doesn't make up for the rest of this half baked package.

Despite an appropriately grim presentation and a fun take on co-operative multiplayer, Moonfall ultimate squanders its 2D Diablo-lite concept premise with its repetitive and uninspired hack 'n' slash combat.

Don't Knock Twice scores big for atmosphere, but fails to expand on some of its better ideas. A follow up game with a cleaned-up control scheme would be welcome, as long as the story is less linear and encourages more exploration.

Senran Kagura Reflexions is an unfortunately meagre take on the visual novel genre, showcasing its graphical fidelity alongside its questionable one-trick pony gameplay.

If you're after a strong example of a 2D platformer with depth and challenge, you won't find it here. The Deer God may look pretty, but it's a pitiful experience that deserves no place on the Switch eShop.

If you're looking for a first sports fix for the Nintendo Switch, sadly RBI Baseball 2017, the first sports title to come out on it (after NBA Playgrounds, at least) isn't the one you should go after. With FIFA, NBA and WWE on the way, chances are you'd get far more bang for your buck from going with them.

Despite accurately interpreting a respected franchise and having solid foundations for a fighting game, Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle delivers a slither of content that is not only disappointingly lacklustre. but also unwelcoming for newcomers and littered with inconsistencies and glitches that further hinder the quality of the experience. Local multiplayer is where this may redeem itself, but even that's stretching it for a retail game. For the price, it's not something I'd recommend.

36 Fragments of Midnight may look enticing at its price point but fails to provide much in the way of content. It can be enjoyable if you like something quick and easy to pick up and play but otherwise, it might be best to avoid this one.

Monster Jam: Crush It! is a disappointment that takes many inspirations from great games yet doesn't quite nail any of them, resulting in an unsatisfying experience with monstrous control.

As far as space-set survival horror games go, Hollow sets the standard for a new low.

Down to Hell is a side-scrolling slasher in which you battle through hell to rescue a girl who previously saved you. But unless you feel brave enough to navigate some basic design flaws, you might be better off saving yourself.

If you want to experience a solid pixel-art tennis game, this isn’t the Super Tennis you should play. You’ll discover everything the game has to offer in an hour, and there’s nothing here to keep you coming back for more.

It's another rushed effort from 2K Games which botches the launch of an eagerly anticipated title. It's so frustrating because WWE 2K18 is packed with content and could have been truly special, if a little more care had been applied. Maybe a patch can salvage this release but for now you want to avoid it.

JCB Pioneer: Mars is slow-paced and won’t be for everyone. There’s a lack of real excitement – this is more about the long game as you build up a base – very, very slowly.

Fantasy Hero Unsigned Legacy should be an additive title with plenty to keep you coming back for countless hours. Sadly, problems throughout the title make this a hard one to love. You may find some enjoyment, but it likely won't be worth the trouble.

Thud Card is a complicated card game with very poor instructions and a lack of interesting reasons to return to the game, it's hard to see anyone having an enjoyable time with this game and as such I couldn't recommend anyone going out of their way to try Thud Card.

Back in 1995 emulates elements of classic survival-horror from the 90s, but what it provides is as much a reflection on them as it is a recreation. A short but insightful look into the past.

Superola and The Lost Burgers is a game that attempts to use Memes to make itself relevent and instead ends up being a good case for why the eShop needs better quality control, unless you absolutely love memes there's absolutely nothing here worth seeing.

Set in a Utopian island inhabited by dinosaurs, ARK: Survival Evolved engages the player on a survival gameplay loop that could have been as engaging as it is punitive – if it wasn’t plagued by so many technical issues.

Tiny Racer is a painful drive. The graphics show promise, but there are so many flaws; it is hard to enjoy the ride. This is a terrible game. I’m getting out the car: I’ll walk from here.

Woodle Tree Adventures is a mess - an altogether stress-inducing experience that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. I only hope the sequel proves to be a better experience.

Tennis is a bite-size arcade take on the famous sport but a complete lack of interesting game modes and seriously lacking gameplay make this less of an ace and more of a double fault.

Awkward is a game that tries hard to be interesting and live up to its infamous name but fails terribly. People who like party games may find it a nice game to kill time with, but it doesn't have anything else that makes it stand out from the crowd.

The most amazing thing about Vroom in the Night Sky is that it was actually greenlit at all. It's ludicrous that someone at Nintendo thought it would be a good title for the launch line up over some more notable games. You have to wonder if they played it at all. Because it's simply not good.

Possibly the worst game to grace the Nintendo Switch, Troll and I really is something that you will want to stay away from. If you are daft enough to spend full price on this, then I simply have no sympathy for you. It's a shame, as the premise could have made for fun - if everything else in this game wasn't so god damned awful!

It's cheap, it's charming and although short, may challenge you. If you are after something a little different, then you should give PAN PAN a look. In a growing library of indie titles, it's nice to have something a little different, even if only for a little while.

If you only have the money for one of the Jackbox Party Packs, go for this one. There's fun to be had in short bursts if you can gather some friends together. However, other than Bomb Corp, there’s nothing here that you’d want to sit around playing for hours. It’s great fun in the smallest of blasts, but like most in the genre, the more people you have who are able to take part, it’s likely that you’ll have more fun with the games.

Tower of Babel feels like a rushed and uninspired game, it can be fun initially but the longer you play and the longer you look at it the less enjoyable and more frustrating it becomes.

Despite accurately interpreting a respected franchise and having solid foundations for a fighting game, Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle delivers a slither of content that is not only disappointingly lacklustre. but also unwelcoming for newcomers and littered with inconsistencies and glitches that further hinder the quality of the experience. Local multiplayer is where this may redeem itself, but even that's stretching it for a retail game. For the price, it's not something I'd recommend.

Party Golf has loads of modes to keep you busy, and offers loads of fun to bring you back. Gather some friends together and you'll have a bundle of fun, but it's also good fun playing against some CPUs. It's perhaps forgiven at not having some kind of story mode by the sheer depth of modes available - pick it up. I'm sure you'll have fun too.

Sparkle 2 EVO is not a bad game. It is however, poorly fleshed out and feels very uninspired, there are a few glimmers of hope such as a competitive mode but these just don't do enough to make the game feel interesting. If you're after a short relaxed experience then Sparkle 2 EVO is likely to scratch that itch but for anyone looking for more then don't expect much here.

While Maria the Witch seems slightly more complicated than your typical game, a better button outlay may have made it a lot less frustrating. I just wanted to be in control, or to feel in control, of Maria far more than I did. Now to go and lie down before I have nightmares of flying my broomstick into yet another wall...

Green Game is a let down with its badly implemented 'time' mechanic. Conceptually interesting on paper, but it just doesn't deliver on its promises. But if you desire counter-intuitive touchscreen controls and really want to punish yourself, you may as well do it with some catchy jazz.

It’s tough to tell whether it’s the genre itself, or the execution of this particular game, but it feels like something you’d have been playing on a primitive computer of some ten to fifteen years ago. Each passing floor of the tower looks the same, with only the new enemy models distracting from that monotony. It’s one for the genre enthusiasts, that’s for sure, but your average gamer isn’t going to take a lot from this. Apart from the nightmares caused by running away from monsters along those dim corridors, that is.

Cartoon Network Battle Crashers is so clearly aimed at young kids and the gameplay on offer here is fine for that audience but, on the whole, this is a dull brawler with little to offer. If you have no idea who Clarence is then you're probably better off looking elsewhere.

Rock ‘n Racing Off Road DX is perhaps the poorest racing game on the Switch at the moment. It has too many design flaws and its AI is too broken to find any enjoyment within its simplistic game design.

It's not treading any new ground, but Antiquia Lost does have a nice story to follow through. RPG hardcore fans will perhaps want to look elsewhere for something more meaty, but at just over a tenner, it's not one which will break the bank if you want to give it a try.

Kid Tripp is a somewhat fun auto-runner game light on content but looks great and is priced generously. It has its frustrating moments, but there's certainly worse games lingering out there on the eShop.
