With a rich world to explore, secrets to find and fantastic writing at every step, Paper Mario: The Origami King often feels like Nintendo at its very best. But a baffling battle system and forgettable characters get in the way, holding back what could have been a sincerely exceptional adventure.

A high launch price and a lack of online multiplayer mar what is an otherwise enjoyable local multiplayer romp. If you have loads of friends locally then Stikbold - A Dodgeball Adventure is certain to bring laughs, at least until the next great local multiplayer game comes along.

Toby: The Secret Mine doesn’t do anything we haven’t seen before, but it is a solid if slow-paced puzzle platformer. Pick it up.

As a survival horror title without the classic horror elements, Heaven Dust may disappoint hardcore Resident Evil fans, but instead captures a new audience that will appreciate its solid puzzle sections and excellent world-building.

Potata: Fairy Flower isn’t going to boil your spuds, but it’s a perfectly enjoyable title. It may have some unfinished edges and lacklustre puzzle content, but the solid platforming experience, accidental comedy, and excellent audio-visual presentation make up for it.

Peace, Death! Complete Edition is one of the better games you’ll find on the Switch eShop for under a fiver. Moreish, tricky and challenging, it has personality and is worth a shot.

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.

Hue has a clever USP which makes for some interesting puzzling. It’s not very long, but it’s certainly a game worth looking at.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is a sequel in the complete sense. It offers a familiar nostalgic-driven experience, but now with new playable characters and more challenging levels. It is more of the same, for the good and the bad.

If you’re here for story, look elsewhere. Blue Rider wants you to devote all your time to destroying everything around you. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it’s a lot of arcade fun to take for a spin.

The Alto Collection is a great addition to the endless runner genre and has everything going for it. I only wish that I would have come away feeling that both games were connected instead of like I’d been playing separate levels of the same game.

Think of the Children is a chaotic and fun party title. Whether on the beach or in the shops, it’s frantic and mad. You’ll find out a lot about your friends as soon as you get them hooked.

For the price point, Deadlings offers a lot of content, executed with consistency in quality, and with enough variation to feel fresh. This is a really solid title that doesn’t outstay its welcome, and is a worthy addition for your eShop collection.

A fresh coat of paint and a new look for the crazy chimp don’t do enough to escape the aged level design and frustrating trial-and-error gameplay loop.

Tools Up! is the latest in co-op game to turn mundane jobs into a crazy and enjoyable experience designed to test friendships. With a few bug fixes and updates, it could become a mainstay in Nintendo Switch libraries.

A different take on the Metroidvania formula, Shinsekai: Into the Depths creates a suitably aquatic feel, both in its atmosphere and gameplay. At times visuals can look a little washed up, but if you fancy going below sea level, then it’s worth taking the plunge.

Octahedron is a difficult platformer which will entertain an audience due to its acclaimed soundtrack and inventive gameplay. Its visual presentation will make it difficult to get into for many, but there’s a solid platform challenge at hand here.

Sun Wukong VS Robot is a solid, enjoyable Metroidvania on Switch that uses the titular Chinese legend in an interesting way, utilising his many powers and abilities to modify gameplay. At an extremely affordable price point, it’s worth checking out.

Lucah: Born of a Dream is a ZX Spectrum-looking, Dark Souls-esque beat-em-up that is visually striking. The beat-em-up elements are strong, though its insistence on sticking to the Dark Souls formula brings the whole experience down, and feels out of place.

Cat Quest II does as any good sequel should, expanding upon the core design of its predecessor whilst also improving things in terms of visuals. Whilst the end result is slightly compromised, the attempt is admirable.

The Room offers intuitive and thoughtful puzzling, but leaves you wanting more. It would be great to see it bundled with its sequels in the future.

Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland DX is a charming and enjoyable RPG title but the continuous pressure of time management will be off putting for many.

Land of Screens is a light puzzle game that feels like a visual novel. A relatable premise mixed with excellent music and a unique art style will set your empathy skills into overdrive. It’s over quickly, but the price is so right!

Disney TSUM TSUM FESTIVAL is a solid, fun party game that uses the chibi-style iconic characters well and, at the expense of the Switch Lite, makes use of its platform exclusivity by using the hardware in a ton of interesting ways.

Shiftlings: Enhanced Edition is an incredibly fun indie puzzle platformer that has plenty of content to keep you entertained for hours. With an entertaining premise, upbeat music and enough cringeworthy jokes to last a lifetime, this is definitely one eShop title that you won't want to miss - even if it does have issues with its control scheme and sense of fairness.

A Night at the Races is a challenging arcade platformer that will put your fine motor skills to the test. If you’re a fan of the genre, definitely pick this one up as the story is quite juicy.

Never Alone falters somewhat where the gameplay is concerned, but you’re unlikely to mind as you learn more about the rich culture it portrays. Its stunning environments pair perfectly with the deep meaning behind every aspect of the world, making for a truly unique experience.

Overall, We Are OFK is a terrific interactive experience that isn’t for everyone. I would have liked a little more control over the gameplay, but it provided me with a few hours of fun and the soundtrack is incredible.
