Plague Road attempts to bring an interesting blend of RPG combat and strategic management but unfortunately ends up feeling like a bare bones experience that falls short of it's own ambition.

Despite some lovely visuals, there's not a lot of depth here to make Bloody Zombies memorable. Perhaps it's down to the limits of the genre in this day and age, but it's not a game you're going to be remembering long into the future.

If you’re looking for a short diversion to stimulate the mental facilities then Energy Cycle just might be what you’re looking for. Though the concept as a puzzler is sound, the overall execution is half-hearted and it won’t keep you entertained for long.

Guns, Gore & Cannoli shows that there is still more than can be done with the zombie theme. The game itself might not be anything remarkable, but it still manages to provide an enjoyable enough challenge.

60 Seconds! breaks the nuclear apocalypse setting into two instances. In one of them, you’ll follow the intriguing day-to-day tale of a normal family surviving through hideous events. Unfortunately, you must endure 60 seconds of a broken and annoying scavenge run to get there.

Poly Bridge provides to the player an extremely in-depth tool-set that is only limited by creativity, or, in quite a few cases, understanding of the mechanics. For those hungry to build bridges, it's an essential purchase. If you don't like the look of the challenge however, it may be water under the bridge.

If you love using an analogue stick to move a digital object this game is made for you! Love techno, new age, reggae, hip hop and dubstep all blended into the same ear-bleeding mess? This game has you covered. Suffer from epilepsy and enjoy fitting on a regular basis? Great news. An instant seizure is just a tap away! Otherwise don’t waste your time on Energy Invasion.

Again, it's the price point which makes this game stick. If you try it and don't enjoy it, so what? It was only £3. Tactics fans will enjoy it more than casual players, but it's realistic for everyone to at least try out.

Physical Contact: 2048 boasts a number of game modes and customisation options, but lacks those which matter the most. Though the various score-based levels and time-attack challenges are fun, they're soon completed, and when you can get the original mobile game for free, paying £4.49 for this will only ever be a highly-regrettable decision.

It's minimalist, but it is challenging. Qbik is a game that requires a lot of thought. If you dread games where your brainpower is fully engaged, it won't be for you, but otherwise there's no harm in giving this a go.

Energy Balance offers simple yet challenging puzzling. Whether you'll enjoy it or not depends wholly on if you get any satisfaction from solving tough mathematical challenges - if that's your bag, then at £2.99, why haven't you got it already?

Millie is a charming puzzle game which can hold your attention for hours, not least because some of its levels will take you that long to solve. With bright, colourful visuals, enchanting background music and some complex mechanics for an indie puzzler, Millie is well worth its £4.49 eShop price - though it does have faults in its controls and its progression requirements.

Draw a Stickman: Epic 2 is a charming little papercraft puzzler that offers players the unique ability to personalise their story creatively, even if the campaign is quite brief and some problems leave you scratching your head for too long.

Billiard is a run of the mill take on traditional billiards games. Unfortunately an uninspired presentation and lacklustre on the table gameplay mean that really only those truly desperate for some pool action on the Switch should consider this.

Rally Racers seeks to mix up the kart racing formula and actually presents some fun ideas but core gameplay is lacking just enough that the game doesn't quite fulfill its potential.

The Trail: Frontier Challenge wants to be a chilled out stroll through the country and to an extent it succeeds, unfortunately lacking game mechanics mean that things never amount to anything more than a walk in the woods.

Spy Chameleon is a decent puzzle stealth game with a fun central mechanic. Sadly, it fails to maintain enough of a challenge for the vast majority of players.

ESCAPE TRICK: 35 Fateful Enigmas has the premise of a fantastic game, but its execution is absolutely diabolical. It is frustrating, unrewarding, and ultimately not a lot of fun to play - especially as there are absolutely no options available to get help or skip the level you're on if you get stuck or can't work out the solution. Unless a hint feature is implemented, I wouldn't recommend this game to my worst enemy - unless they were as illogical in their thinking as this game is in its presentation.

As a premise, the Men of Yoshiwara games are something we should see more of - novels and particularly decide-your-destiny type books would be more than welcome on Nintendo's system. There's not enough new here to justify a purchase if you already have the first game, though - go for one or the other unless you're a genre fanatic.

Aeternoblade is a Metroidvania game that has an interesting plot on paper, sadly its gameplay and design leave a poorly executed and tedious game in its wake.

What it lacks in depth, 10 Second Run Returns makes up for in sharp, fun levels. If you enjoy a good platforming romp then this will scratch a short-term itch. But it won’t go far beyond that.

Enchanting Mahjong Match might be a repetitive title by design but even with the flaws it has the title still holds up as an engaging puzzler for the Nintendo Switch.

Jurassic World Pinball is a good timely addition to Pinball FX3, albeit a bit underwhelming. Not as imaginative as some other tables but manages to provide a glimpse into the world of Jurassic Park.

Sparkle 3 Genesis is a kind of contemplative experience that puts you in control of an ever-evolving creature. Unfortunately, it lacks variety and sounds more like a mini-game stretched out to become longer and, consequently, tedious.

Let's Sing 2018 is a fun karaoke experience and has a decent range of songs to keep most palettes engaged. Given that the game is costly, I do hope that there will be a price cut on the DLC extra songs, though.

NO THING is a great value game with some cool visuals, and it has challenging, entrancing gameplay that will give you that classic sense of achievement when you finish a level. Unfortunately, the sense of achievement for me was 'thank god I don't have to play that ever again'.

Paper Wars Cannon Fodder attempts a charming take on tower defence gameplay but unfortunately paper thin mechanics and lack of variation in content mean that this game fails to hold the attention for long.

Repetitive and limited to handheld mode due to touchscreens controls, Farm Expert 2018 looks like a lazy mobile port that doesn’t have much appeal to others than hardcore fans of the farming simulator genre.

Gate of Doom is an old brawler that was born in the arcade era and hasn’t evolved since then. With its repetitive combat, blurry visuals, and unbalanced difficulty, it is a game that doesn’t hold well in our modern times.

L.F.O mixes strong audio design with retro inspired graphics to great success, but unfortunately its basic gameplay lets it down dramatically.

Digital board games aren’t new, but Sumer shows how the format can excel in the context of a video game. There is plenty of depth that is aided by the fast-paced gameplay as you race to offer your sacrifices.

Deep Ones has an interesting visual style with a simplistic feel reminiscent of some earlier titles on the ZX Spectrum, but it gets into deep water with its shifting game modes and dissatisfying controls. Considering the calibre of action-platformers on the eShop at the moment, the game drowns in amongst its competition.

Where Are My Friends? is a game that is trying to do too much at once and loses a lot of its potential charm because of it, if it took one of the four gameplay ideas and concentrated on making it a standalone game it could've been so much more.

Splitter Critters is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. An engaging puzzle game that provides a challenging experience that gradually expands. This is all wrapped up in a distinctive paper constructed world that’s waiting to be ripped apart.

SKYPEACE might be a small title but it is packed with character and charm. Your find a relaxing title that offers enough challenge to keep you entertained for a few hours and that is worth the price of admission.

With a mysterious narrative about an unsettling old manor and its inhabitants, Goetia feels like a classic point and click adventure, but it has many quality of life improvements, which makes it worthwhile for any fan of the genre.

If you manage to ignore its technical issues, Dungeon Rushers delivers a worthwhile tabletop-like dungeon crawler experience, with a surprisingly deep turn-based combat, and tons of content to offer.

Henry the Hamster Handler is a simple, inexpensive game that's simple and amusing, but that still doesn't make it worth a purchase. The problem is once I'd finished 10 of the games' 300 levels I'd seen it all. I can't help but feel more effort could have gone into creating some variety in the levels rather than churning them out in a similar fashion to the in-game hamsters themselves.

While it may attract criticism for the licensing issues that meant the absence of a number of boards from other versions of the game, The Pinball Arcade isn't dramatically worse for it due to the similarity of the experiences of each board. It's pinball, and it's table pinball. You know what you're getting.

A Magical High School Girl is a very repetitive and basic rogue like game which puts up a really difficult argument for starting again each time you die.

Perfect Angle looks to provide a short compelling experience and the interesting perspective mechanic is novel at first but the game quickly runs out of ideas and some minor design decisions only make some of the puzzles even more of a drag.

There is no particularly remarkable title in the entire Sparkle franchise. Even then, Sparkle Zero feels like the most barebones execution of the creature-evolving idea. With no quest system, creature variety and different environments, there’s no reason to start from zero here.

Defoliation deserves no place on your Switch. It's a poor attempt at a visual novel, littered with shockingly translated dialogue and boring puzzles. Avoid!

Drago Dino is a game that hardly works and even when it manages to get past a loading screen the gameplay offered is poorly executed and not enjoyable.

Jolt Family Robot Racer attempts to add a competitive edge to the platforming formula, unfortunately a lack of progression and content holds back already lacklustre gameplay. With little to offer it's hard to recommend the game to anyone in particular but there's something promising about the concept of racing in a platforming style.

Air Mail is best played for its exploration and character. More memorable missions would have pushed the score up here - as they are, they're far too uninspiring.

Ninja Striker! is a fun retro inspired title that offers a unique gameplay system focused on speed and combos that is worth your time.

Bloons TD 5 is possibly the pinnacle of what tower defence games can offer, with tonnes of content, deep gameplay and more ways to play than you'll ever get through, there's something here for anyone even remotely interested in the tower defence genre.

Kill the Bad Guy focuses a bit too much on trial and error to be a truly compelling puzzle game. Nevertheless, the kills are inventive enough to warrant a purchase somewhere down the line.

If you're in the market for an auto- or endless-runner on Switch, you can't do much better than Chameleon Run Deluxe. While the high price point is a definite issue compared to mobile and the new levels aren't totally worth it, it's an ideal way to test your memory and skill, and enjoy yourself while doing it.

Ghost 1.0 features strong gameplay hooks in the form of twin-stick shooting and enemy possession to keep players engaged to the end. Sadly, it's not quite up there with other metroidvanias on Switch.

Skee-Ball seems more than happy to resemble an early-2000's flash game instead of a unique take on the arcade classic that it represents.

Lost Phone Stories is worth the price if you're a fan of stories that are real and empathetic, but the lack of replay value in both games may be off-putting for some who want more.

Frederic 2 offers more of the same from the first game. It's nice to have them both on Switch, and at an affordable rate given the sale price. They're both short games, though, so a bundle would be welcome.

Glaive: Brick Breaker appears to be a game that exists just to pay homage to its inspiration, Brick Breaker. It never tries to be much more than that, and is content wallowing in mediocrity.

If you are looking for a co-op experience that is a fun, hectic and rewarding, then look no further than No Heroes Here.

Chicken Assassin: Reloaded is a crime against Action-RPGs but a godsend to the clicker genre. It'll serve those who are into this type of game well, but even extensive customisation load outs won't help it appeal to everyone else.

Angels of Death is a horror-adventure game that intrigues from the very start. A must-have for fans of psychological and physical horror that'll have you playing until the very early hours of the morning.

Whilst not an essential purchase, 12 Orbits is great with a group of friends or family for shorter bursts of fun!

Zaccaria Pinball offers a ton of breadth, but despite its free entry point, trying to amass a complete collection of everything that's on offer is going to be really expensive stuff, and we can't justify recommending that.

Bouncy Bob is simplistic entertainment which doesn't really set the Switch alight. There's not really enough here to keep you coming back for more.

Never Stop fails to hold the attention for long, and unfortunately there are others in the same genre that do the endless runner job a lot better. Wait til it's available for pennies.

Hungry Shark World is a noticeable step above its mobile ancestor, with improved controls across the board. Sadly, a few technical hiccups and a distinct lack of depth hold it back significantly.

Save the Ninja Clan is a great title for fans of hardcore platforming, with three different worlds, boss battles and the option to alter the game speed to suit your playing needs you should be able to find the right balance. Just be aware the difficulty curve is very steep and can cause frustration right from the outset!

Pirates: All Aboard! is light on content and doesn't carry enough of a personality to be a recommendable package. Other than in its dirt cheap form in the eShop sale, that is.

It's Spring Again is - to put it bluntly - a thorough disappointment. It lacks content, accessibility and replay value, and its basic and repetitive graphics are enough to haunt any child's nightmares. For a game that is based on a popular children's puppet show, so much more could have been done to make it a truly informative and educational experience that players of all ages, abilities and backgrounds could enjoy. The only merit it does have is that it conveys some basic facts about the changing of the seasons - and even this knowledge could be better found elsewhere.

Small, dark and not very handsome, Paranautical Activity is a disappointment. Lame weapons, poor controls and a lack of personality nip this one in the bud.

If you're a fan of visual novels, romance, middle-aged men and a surprisingly realistic look at adult life then don't hesitate to try out Pub Encounter.

Repetitive track design, some of the worst graphics I've seen for a Nintendo Switch game and very lacklustre AI results in an extremely unfulfilling experience with Drone Fight; may leave a nasty taste.

Though the core experience functions as intended, Mecha Storm doesn't do enough to distances itself from its mobile release and ends up falling flat on the Nintendo Switch.

Next Up Hero manages to introduce intriguing, innovative ideas, but at the cost of executing the core gameplay mechanic well.

Disease -Hidden Object- offers eight not-too-dissimilar levels which won't really live long in the memory. Pick it up when it's on sale.

Vegas Party is a game that you do not want to buy. If you really want to experience the casino culture, take the money you were thinking of spending on this game and go to a real casino.

Realpolitiks is a difficult strategy to get your head around. With so many manageable things to be watched at once, it it likely to alienate new starters.

MXGP3 is far more bare bones than it ought to be. It sure does offer some thrills in its racing, but the scale-backs for the Switch version and particularly the loss of the multiplayer modes are impossible to forgive.

Time Carnage is tough, but has some irritatingly unprecise controls. It's certainly an enjoyable arcade shooter though.

Enigmatis 2 is a fun point and click with personality. Voice acting is a bit rubbish, and Switch needs the full trilogy. It's a nice entry point, though.

Shikhondo - Soul Eater is a fantastic title that will be sure to make veterans and newcomers alike happy with its engaging gameplay and stunning design.

The developers describe it as simple in its eShop listing, and Voxel Shot is certainly that. You won't be spending a lot of time playing this - it's better picked up in a Switch eShop sale.

Survive! Mr Cube is too repetitive for a recommendation, and the time that you put in doesn't pay off with a satisfying conclusion.

Whip! Whip! is easy enough to finish in two hours, but the gameplay is pretty good. A pleasant surprise - arcade fans will enjoy it.

Doughlings: Arcade is a functional brick-breaking game that means well, but its execution is poor and leads to repetitive gameplay.

A captivating puzzler with enchanting visuals and a soothing orchestral soundtrack, Kenshō is a fantastic breath of fresh air. Though its gameplay is simplistic, Kenshō's tale of restoration and exploration will hook you in and keep you playing until the very end. Just be prepared to give the later levels a fair few tries, as the difficulty curve is one to watch out for.

Slaps and Beans is a game that shows that living in the past isn't always a good thing. Only those who love their fighting games will see something good in this game.

Rooms: The Adventure of Anne & George will be great fun for fans of the first game, and is an easy entry point for those who never played it. It's good for pick up and play, but a bit heavy to take down all in one sitting.

Siegecraft Commander is a colourful, easily accessible take on the RTS genre that beautifully blends elements of Tower Defence titles. Unfortunately, variations in matches are few and far between, and awkward controls juxtapose the easily accessible nature that Blowfish Studios have managed to accomplish.

True Fear is a fun Halloween spook adventure - though it arguably should be scarier than it is. It's more about the puzzles than the scares, so bear that in mind when diving in.

Goosebumps: The Game is the epitome of cynical cash grabs - a game riddled with poor writing, nonsensical puzzles and bland visuals, you'd be better off just reading the books.

Nintendo Switch players looking to get their cowboy fix will find some enjoyment in Western 1849 Reloaded, just don't be surprised if the sun goes down on these thrills after a few hours.

Art of Balance is soothing yet infuriating in equal measure. You'll be compelled to power through and find the perfect balance in each of its levels, though.

Game Dev Story might not satisfy the desire of making actual video games, but it is surprisingly good fun at playing with the idea. It has an addictive gameplay loop that has you saying, “just one more game”.

Word Puzzles by POWGI is for the grandmas and grandads out there, and even the mums and dads too. Chances are the more youthful won't be going anywhere near it, but it's an easy time waster.

A charming little indie game about a clunky, bumbling robot with a conscience, Jettomero is a relaxing experience with a beautiful and versatile art style. Whilst the procedurally generated gameplay loop can get repetitive, the zen atmosphere created in Jettomero is worth visiting if you need a change of pace after a long day.

Tiny Hands Adventure is the vanilla ice cream of 3D platformers; It has nothing exciting which makes it stick out, and is the plainest of platformers. Heck - some people prefer ice cream, but no platform fans will have this as their favourite.

At over £15, Hot Gimmick Cosplay-jong is more scandalous for being a waste of money than anything else. You shouldn't even bother if you're coming for the titillation.

Pets at Home have nothing to worry about - there's barely any reasons to go for Aqua TV over buying real fish. Perhaps an aqua education would have been preferable - it's just such a light package as it is.

Personality & Psychology Premium asks the tough questions, but it doesn't do much that you can't find for free on the internet.

D/Generation: The Original holds up well from its 1991 release, with entertaining and engaging puzzling. At £14.99, it's a little on the steep side price-wise, though.
