    Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is the perfect entry point for the series and deserves to be a summer hit. Full of story and adventure, it’s one of the deepest series Nintendo have delivered, and it’s worth getting past the grinding and the text overload.

    Black Bird's content is a bit on the slim side for its price, but like all quality shoot-em-ups, there's significant depth and replay value, meaning you'll be chasing that high score for hours.

    Bigger is not always better, but Bayonetta 3 does more right than wrong when trying to surpass everything that has been done with the series before. It is a bold game that is thrilling to play, and a truly wild ride from start to finish.

    The fundamentals of coding can be found in FUZE4 without the thrills and spills of other coding applications. It won’t be for everyone, but it offers a wealth of content to explore and is optimised extremely well on Switch.

    Lapis X Labyrinth nails its combat loop and reward system to provide a dungeon-crawler that both veterans and newcomers will adore. Minor technical hiccups could do with being fixed, but otherwise this fully deserves a place on your Switch.

    Into the Breach feels like a board game in which you must control a squad of mech robots to defend the planet. With turn-based combat that is as challenging as it is deep, it offers tons of replay value thanks to its many unique squad layouts.

    With patience and determination, Zero Zero Zero Zero can offer a challenge to test your game-playing abilities to the limits. It’s tough, but there’s satisfaction in success when the monochrome odds are against you.

    Thy Sword looks great and controls like a dream. However, these wonderful traits, combined with the procedurally generated levels and roguelite elements, aren’t enough to keep you coming back once you’ve finished the campaign.

    CrossCode is a near-perfect attempt at recapturing the charm and magic of action RPGs from the 16-bit era. Fortunately, this experience is only slightly marred by the occasional technical hiccup.

    While not everything is a classic and there’s a few notable omissions, this is still a great mixture of genres couple with neat emulation gimmicks. For Nintendo fans, it’s also a great time travel machine back to see just how the other lived during the great console war.

    DMC3 is fast-paced, fun, and familiar. It offers up hours of hack and slash goodness which is true to the original release – for better or worse – whilst also including exclusive improvements to bring it into the modern day.

    Jump King is a game that deliberately wants you to hate its guts. However, the players who are really good at it have made it an art form. This is one that really separates the men from the boys and the women from the girls.

    If you're a fan of the dark with a dash of silly, and really want to explore dungeons while looking like you've just emerged from a Van Helsing convention, then don't hesitate to pick up Victor Vran: Overkill Edition. And grab the collector's edition while you can.

    Put on your dancing shoes ’cause Just Dance 2021 is here to show you how to move. With superb visuals and varied choreography, it’s only a lack of online play and a limited core song list that hold it back.

    Super Mario Party is the Mario Party title we've all been waiting for, offering a fun and exciting experience for all the family.

Be sure to give all of the new modes a try, and explore all that the interactive plaza has to offer. Just don't spend all your coins at once, or you could be all out of luck..!

    Beautiful graphics, responsive mechanics, and frantic gameplay are mixed together in Dragon Ball FighterZ, a superb 2D fighting game that adapts the iconic Akira Toriyama anime in a very competent way. Despite the uninspired story mode, it presents engaging and accessible mechanics that can be enjoyed by fans and newcomers alike.

    Lonely Mountains: Downhill has so much going for it that you can’t help but love it. Vibrant, varied, and victorious. It’s an outstanding example of indie development and a delight from start to finish – performance issues aside.

    Collection of Mana includes three must-play games for any JRPG fan. They have beautiful art design, incredible soundtracks, and Trials of Mana may arguably be the best game the SNES ever had. Unfortunately it’s a bit light on additional content beyond the games themselves.

    Like a favourite movie, Skullgirls 2nd Encore will keep you coming back long after the credits roll. Its beautifully crafted, if a little distasteful at times, and proves that fighting games don’t need big name characters to win plaudits.

    DOOM remains an iconic game that fans of shooters – actually, scratch that, fans of gaming – need to play to this day. This version has a few drawbacks that will no doubt sour the experience for some people, but this is by far the most authentic version of the game on a Nintendo platform so far.

    OPUS: Echo of Starsong is a fantastic visual novel but is difficult to get into in many other ways. It’s not easy for players to tackle if they can’t handle big text dumps or seek out the story themselves.

    A deeply pleasant set of worlds, with a deviously complex set of puzzles to explore, Locomotion is a satisfyingly tough puzzle game that just happens to be gorgeous to look at. A fantastic addition to the Switch’s puzzle game collection.

    Goodbye Deponia is clever in parts, funny in places, and an enjoyable romp most of the way through. Some dud puzzles and fudged movement controls aren’t enough to derail it too badly.
