Sparkle Unleashed is a fun and addictive puzzle game with plenty of content to keep you playing for a good 6-8 hours. Its downside is that it reuses content to keep its longevity going which can be a bit disappointing.

Hover is a delight to play and a great example of the open world genre, set in a futuristic and oppressed hub. Featuring numerous missions and interesting online capabilities, it's worth your time.

Cat Quest is a purr-leasing experience that pits cats against dragons in table-top action adventure. The combat provides engaging feedback whilst the cat-izens offer plenty of – mostly humorous – cat-based puns that both draw you into the world of Felingard.

A Little Lily Princess is a character driven visual novel with great art and wonderful music. The life-simulation aspect is a bit random but if you’re a fan of a good story you’ll want to pick this one up.

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.

More Dark is a game that plays on nostalgia for the 16-bit era, whilst providing you with a modern challenge worthy of any puzzle platformer, even if it does turn the frustration dial to 11.

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is as much educational as it is relaxing. It’s a short experience but it is one that you can learn a lot from as well as having a wonderful time.

Candle: The Power of the Flame is a great title for fans of adventure and puzzles. It could be improved with a hint system, though, as some of the tougher sequences are a little obscure.

My Big Sister is an enjoyable and affordable horror game with a well-written story, but can’t quite decide if it’s going to be a horror game or visual novel. It is a short experience, but one that will satisfy you if you’re willing to give it the time.

The classic indie platformer VVVVVV plays around with what seems to be a simple gravity-inverting mechanic. By evolving on the concept, it creates a platforming experience that, while short, may prove challenging for even the hardened platformer aficionados out there!

Batman: The Telltale Series brings together some of the franchise's most iconic heroes and villains, weaving a story that is intriguing and thrilling for the most part. It can be predictable at times, and the game engine is well past its sell by date, but fans and newcomers alike will love what Telltale have crafted here.

A puzzle-platformer that puts story first, What Lies in the Multiverse switches out the challenging obstacle-filled fare we’re used to with this genre in favour of a well-polished narrative adventure that’s engaging to the end.

Titan Quest falls short when it comes to some technical aspects. Even so, it still manages to deliver a very engaging experience where you won't notice the time pass while you hack n' slash your way through enemies searching for better loot.

Kirby Star Allies sees the pink resident of Planet Popstar debut on the Nintendo Switch in a game that is fun but somewhat lacking in challenge. If you are looking for an entertaining platformer that can be enjoyed by all the family then this game is the perfect option.

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.

Wales Interactive continue to deliver on their niche market genre with an engaging plot for this whodunnit murder mystery. Some overacting and the clunky mechanic for the shapeshifting prevent it scoring higher.

Aragami is a fun, challenging stealth-action title with plenty to offer in terms of singleplayer and multiplayer. Although its performance on Nintendo Switch isn’t the greatest, the game has plenty of replay value, and has a stunning design and soundtrack.

With its humorous spy theme and its satisfying, varied puzzles, Agent A is great fun. Admittedly, it’s currently cheaper and probably more at home on mobile, but it’s still a solid point-and-click addition to the Switch library.

Thanks to flexible straightforward gameplay and the randomised replayable nature of the game it's definitely worth a look for any fans of shooters looking for a smaller title to kill some time.

Chaos on Deponia is a modern classic in the point-and-click adventure genre, but still fails to solve the issue of nonsensical puzzle-solving, even if the characters, setting, and story are endearing and charming from top to bottom.

Despite lacking polish and being short to play through, Burnstar provides challenging puzzles and infinite replayability thanks to the competitive aspect of online leaderboards, as well as its local co-op mode.

If you have an inkling for retro platformers, Squidlit is a must-have for the Switch. The overall aesthetic perfectly captures the essence of what made the Game Boy successful, although it is let down by the gameplay elements, which offer little challenge.
