Shovel Knight: King of Cards is a fitting conclusion to an almost perfect saga. Fans of the series will enjoy the new features, especially the implementation of the card game, Joustus, and newcomers will easily fall in love with this much-loved series.

Rescue Tale is a subpar platformer that fails to make the most basic of mechanics feel good. A decent art style and some weapon options are far from enough to make up for the lack of polish in this one.

The age-old adage that you wait ages for a bus and three come along at once is most apt. Super Street: Racer could have been lost in relative obscurity, but it offers a fresh take on racing on the Switch.

Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is more Bubble Bobble. One that was possibly intended for a new generation whilst also appealing to the old. Unfortunately though, it is unlikely to provide a memorable experience for either.

SuperEpic: The Entertainment War is a respectable action-platformer that offers satisfying combat and an interesting theme. Overall there is a lot to like here, even if things end up good, not great. The raccoon-llama combo helps for sure!

FoxyLand is a by-the-numbers platformer which won’t come close to setting the world alight. It’s alright for what it is, with its thirty-six levels lasting a few hours, but you won’t remember much of it in a month’s time.

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.

Domiverse doesn’t do enough to be a memorable or worthwhile experience solo, but with some friends in a party environment it makes for good, frantic fun, with its instadeath mechanic and colourful cast of characters to choose from.

Shovel Knight Showdown offers a decent multiplayer fighting game experience. Fans of the series will probably fall in love with this alternative way to play with Shovel Knight, but the old-school style and heavy platforming hurt its general appeal.

Clumsy Rush is a party game that needed more to make it stand out. Without an actual single player mode, frustrating inaccuracies in the walking mechanics, and being limited to two at a time when playing as a group make it less than ideal.

Football Manager 2020 Touch is slightly better than last year’s game, but will still only appeal to its niche Dukla Prague away-kit-loving audience, with the FIFA series mopping up the rest. There’s no need for VAR to see that.

Bury Me, My Love lacks the necessary amount of player interaction that it needs for its message of compassion for the plight of Syrian refugees. The story wasn’t engaging enough to retain the attention once the game reached the halfway mark.

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.

Spirit Roots‘ charming aesthetics are not enough to warrant suffering through its many monotonous levels. Although some may find enjoyment in the challenges it poses and its platforming, it is more frustrating than fun, especially where its boss battles are concerned.

Alien: Isolation is a worthy edition to any Switch owner’s library. It is an excellent reminder of just how good a port can be and, predictable storyline and poorly paced checkpoints aside, it is an outstanding stealth-horror title.

One Person Story is a brief but emotive game that marries 2D puzzles with advice about navigating life’s hardships. Although the title attempts to leave an impression, sadly the narrative was not all that memorable, despite the topics raised.

Simulacra won’t be the next FMV to generate interest in the genre on the Switch, nor will it be spoken about in years to come. What it will be though is a solid horror experience that gamers looking for something different will enjoy.

JigSaw Solace is not a good game. The controls are bad, the presentation is a joke, and the overall package is something I couldn’t recommend unless you were absolutely desperate to do a jigsaw puzzle. Save your money.

Assassin’s Creed: The Rebel Collection on Nintendo Switch is nothing short of a technical marvel, proving what a big-time publisher can achieve with a port on the platform when dedicating enough time and effort.

Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King celebrate the much-loved movie tie-ins in this latest package, filled to the brim with extra content to draw fans new and old in. While some gameplay inclusions go against the grain, they’re entirely optional.

Football Game is a short and largely forgettable point-and-click. Its visuals are the most notable part, but with no achievement system on the Switch, there’s little else to drag you in here.

Black Future ’88 is a neon-drenched 2D roguelike that effortlessly encourages you to undergo repeated runs thanks to its great music, style and short bursts of fast-paced action.

Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan has great playability, keeping things challenging and allowing you to re-challenge main bosses. It’s just a few glitches that hinder the gameplay and subtract from the experience, yet it still remains extraordinarily fun.

Farabel offers a turn-based strategy experience that is just okay across the board. Even with a unique twist on the time travel trope, the lack of depth, empty environments, and one-trick-pony style to gameplay hurt this one.

On paper, the concept behind Blindy was something worth exploring. In practice, it is a frustrating, shallow and uninviting platformer that would have been better left in the dark. In the battle of expectation versus reality, neither won here.

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.

It is hard to find reasons to praise Ships. It tries to provide a variety of missions surrounding the ‘ship’ thematic, but its simplistic controls, slow-paced progression, repetitive missions, and subpar graphics makes it one of the worst simulation games available on Switch.

Shin’en has once again provided a tight and well-polished experience that looks the part, too. The Touryst would be a masterpiece if it wasn’t for the shortness, but the time you do spend with it is memorable and great fun.
