    World of Goo is a game with an excellent concept, held back from greatness by its limited scope and inaccurate control schemes. More levels, a proper ultimate goal, or even a good control scheme could've boosted this game out of middle-of-the-road territory - but as it stands, that's right where it sits.

    Swap This! is a great little puzzle game for any fans of the genre. It's not going to revolutionise the gaming scene but with four different game modes, multiple high scores to beat and the tiny price tag of £1.09 you very much get what you paid for with this one!

    GREEN is a cheap-looking platformer which is full of variation and ideas. The jumping is a little irritating, but becomes easier with practice. It’s worth a go.

    City of Brass is a very ambitious game that could’ve been something truly amazing, but its lack of gameplay options ultimately make it feel frustrating and uninspiring to play. As such, it is a difficult title to recommend.

    Everything rejects everything that you’d usually consider a video game. Yet this interactive experience is coherent in its mission of providing existential exploration and gets pretty close to its promise of allowing you to control everything; even a hat.

    The Bunker is a genuinely scary insight into loneliness and isolation. The setting and cast of characters really help bring its unsettling story to life, but the minimal interaction may put off a few people. I do wonder if it would've been more successful as a movie.

    If you’re really into the rogue-like genre, One More Dungeon can deliver that enjoyable loop of trying to get as further as possible at each run. Although it lacks some finesse when it comes to a more solid FPS experience, its customizable gameplay options will keep you hooked for a while.

    Embr delivers on its promise of frantic firefighting chaos. However, with performance issues and multiplayer snags raining down on the Switch version, it’s a weaker experience compared to the crossplay-enabled counterparts.

    The Way Remastered isn't an experience you're going to forget in a while, but it would be markedly improved with more accurate controls. As such, it's more irritating than it is inspiring in its current form.

    The Low Road is an entertaining story if a little far-fetched. There are some neat puzzle ideas here, but also some controls which could and should be better. Do check it out though.

    Rise & Shine is an enjoyable if brief romp through a world of gaming nods and shows off a few neat puzzling ideas. There should be more to the package, though.

    Star Ghost is a great example of a simple idea executed well. It’s very easy to pick up and play and does feel very rewarding. As a portable-only game, you can probably add a little onto the score, but as a console experience, it just doesn’t have enough to keep you occupied for too long. It’s a good game, it’s just not anything you absolutely have to own.

    Rime is one of those games that has all the potential to be one of the all-time greats, but falls short at the last hurdle. Choppy framerate and poor visuals in handheld mode hold it back from being a day one recommendation, but it's also an adventure that, one day - despite the flaws - you'll be glad to take.

    Dual Brains Vol 2: Reflex offers frantic puzzling and competitive online-leaderboard-based action. There are only six activities, mind you – so chances are that once you’ve mounted an assault on the leaderboard, you won’t be sticking with the game for long afterwards.

    Mythic Ocean is a fun little adventure with a strong narrative and memorable characters, but it ends before it has a chance to really leave an impact on you.

    If you’ve already played this on Wii U you’ll know what’s to come, and there won’t be the laughs to the extent there’d be if you’re a newbie. It’s certainly worth experiencing, but try and get those controls nailed down ASAP or you’re in for a frustrating time.

    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.

    Back in 1995 emulates elements of classic survival-horror from the 90s, but what it provides is as much a reflection on them as it is a recreation. A short but insightful look into the past.

    LEGO The Incredibles doesn't do anything new as far as LEGO games are concerned, but the Disney magic seeps through. These games work for their sense of adventure and their comedy, but they should have less focus on the grinding for bricks.

    Poi: Explorer Edition is a nice, budget 3D platformer that is perfect for younger Nintendo Switch owners. The challenges in the game can become rather repetitive, but if you are looking for a colourful platformer that is inoffensive and fun, then you can't go too wrong with Poi!

    By putting you on the shoes of a blind woman, Perception creates a unique survival horror experience, with heavy focus on narrative. It does a good job of playing with your… well… perception of the darkness and your surroundings.

    Hiragana Pixel Party is a simple rhythm game that sets out to teach you how to read and pronounce Japanese characters. It could benefit from some more variety in gameplay, but if you fancy something that you can potentially benefit from, the challenge and the educational value could keep you engaged through its many missions.

    Pathway flexes plenty of stats amongst its RPG elements, but the turn-based combat can become quite repetitive. The presentation is gorgeous however, and there’s plenty of adventuring on offer if it’s the sort of ride you’re looking for.

    GRIP: Combat Racing boasts exciting gameplay that is sadly held back by technical issues. It's worth a look into for fans of racers, but other folk may want to wait until a price drop.

    A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism is just about as complex as management sims get, full of menus, variables, budgeting and countless other aspects that genre fanatics love. It’s far too complicated for your average player, though.

    Tetra’s Escape offers fun pick up and play puzzling. It’s not a mind-blowing experience, granted, but it certainly has a place in your eShop collection.

    Akane is an alright experience – it handles well, and nailing a good run is always satisfying. But it is very repetitive. The lure of an increased strength boss probably isn’t enough to hold the attention for much longer.

    Implosion is a hack 'n' slash action game that looks - from a distance - much better than it actually is. Once you start playing however, you'll find a fairly average (if not downright mediocre) title with some great looking graphics. There's simply nothing unique or enticing about this one aside from its shiny appearance, so you're probably best to look elsewhere if you're looking for something that engages you in any meaningful way.

    Rough around the edges, Madorica Real Estate does well in managing to still be unique enough to be memorable. It’s not puzzling perfection, but it’s certainly fun to work out.

    Arietta of Spirits buckles under the weight of its own premise. Telling such a detailed story in such a small game means no idea quite gets its due, and the moments of greatness are too fleeting to make a real impact.
