As a historical document, Ultracore is an interesting 2D run-and-gunner on Switch. It’s just a shame that modern takes on the genre have bested it at its own game. Do seek out the Strictly Limited Games CE, though.

Hyperbrawl Tournament is a game that has a solid concept but doesn’t quite stick the landing. With a game that would have benefitted from greater depth in the gameplay loop, it’s still a title that will result in isolated enjoyment.

King of Seas is an ambitious and peaceful game. It’s perfect for pick up and play gameplay, let down only by numerous glitches and lack of voice acting. If you want to be a pirate on Switch, this is the game.

With a nice pixel-art style, Within the Blade may look like the perfect side-scrolling ninja adventure. While it offers huge replayability, its basic problems make it feel like you are fighting with a dull blade.

Little Orpheus weaves an epic tale through its short runtime. Unfortunately, the gameplay just doesn’t live up to the same standard. But if you’re after an experience that’s nonetheless engaging, this is the game for you.

Jet Kave Adventure may offer very little in the way of innovation, but its refined and enjoyable gameplay makes this an easy recommendation for platforming fans.

198X is a nostalgic but incomplete-feeling tribute to Eighties games and their influence. Each of the five genres included is unique and equally stunning, as are the cut-scenes. The problem is that it ends quickly and without exploring each style to the fullest.

Maneater is far from the fin-tastic open-world RPG we all want it to be, but when treated as the goofy shark simulator that it is there’s a lot of fun and laughs to be had. The ocean is your playground.

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.

Dead or School often intrigues in appearance, but never quite capitalises on the unique blend of the mundane. Technical issues bog down the core experience, and the lack of restriction or respect for the rest of the content sours what could have been a thoroughly enjoyable romp through the underground.

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!

Battle Princess Madelyn seeks to emulate the likes of Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, to some success. The old-school gameplay may hinders the modern elements from its History mode, but the game still delivers a fun experience.

Overall, EGGLIA Rebirth is a fun and simple RPG game that is let down by its grindy and unnecessary gameplay mechanics.

Kao the Kangaroo is an enjoyable revival of another once-forgotten mascot platformer, but its punches don’t hit hard enough to unseat any of its heavy-hitting contemporaries on Switch, and technical hiccups add an additional layer of ring rust.

I Am The Hero starts off well enough, but quickly the sheen wears thin and you’re left with a by the numbers beat ‘em up that is let down by its inability to balance difficulty with technical performance.

Morphite is a space exploration adventure that does well in creating the feeling that you’re visiting its many alien worlds. With a unique low poly style, it falls short for having poor and inconsistent combat. Those that can overlook this will find a deep and enjoyable journey.

Bee Simulator is a charming game, but one that never fully realises its potential as a true simulator. While at times gameplay was enjoyable, the overall experience felt limited and the experience was more akin to an interactive educational tale.

If you think ragdoll physics are more amusing than annoying, then Human: Fall Flat will be one of the funniest playgrounds you can ever find on Switch. By allowing you to play with objects, mechanisms and all the physics that comes with that then you'll enjoy Human: Fall Flat's fun, if wonky experience.

Gekido Kintaro’s Revenge is a very simple beat-em-up which probably didn’t warrant a physical release on Switch. Unfair gameplay, unsatisfying visuals and sloppy proofing work mean this is one to miss.

Gear.Club Unlimited is never going to cut it if you’re in the market for a portable Forza Motorsport or Gran Turismo, but if treated like an arcade racer which you can pick up and put down liberally, you’ll absolutely find some lasting enjoyment with Eden’s racer. With lots of variety on tracks, championships, cars and upgrades, the value of the overall package becomes more desirable every time you boot it up.

It may be on the (very) short side, but Refunct is a refreshing, playful, and non-violent platforming experience. If you’re in the market for something a little different, it’s certainly worth a look.

Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast has the makings of a great Star Wars game inside it, but an incredibly frustrating front-end makes getting to the enjoyable meat a chore and will likely turn off most modern players.

Vesta is an intriguing puzzle game that absolutely won't set the world on fire, but if you're after a quirky experience with some clear inspiration from Zelda, you can't go wrong here.

Pokémon Quest is a perfectly serviceable distraction before the Let's Go games arrive later this year. It certainly wont be to everyone's taste, but gamers clamouring for a new adventure in the franchise will be surprised at its level of depth and charm.

It's pretty hard to find fault with League of Evil. Ratalaika Games have really demonstrated just how well a port of a mobile title can make use of the Switch. Noting that it's beautiful in handheld and on the silver screen, and factoring in the challenge and ability to keep players interested and focused on getting through the short burst levels, League of Evil won't be a game that you'll regret adding to your Switch collection.

With some decent puzzle-based levels, Puzzle Adventure Blockle will provide players with a few hours of entertainment to pass the time, but will likely be forgotten after a few bursts of play or completion.

Puzzle Puppers on Nintendo Switch is a delightful puzzle game to pass the time with, and is a solid port of the mobile game of the same name. With a deceptively simple concept, colourful visuals, and upbeat (yet soothing) music, you can spend many hours working your way through the various levels and feeding those stretchy long bois. Just try not to get too frustrated when you (inevitably) accidentally undo your progress on a level every once in a while.

With fun puzzle gameplay, Pokémon to catch and a decent serving of charm and polish, Pokémon Café Mix offers enough to satisfy the hunger of many a Pokémon fan, but it’s slow mechanics and lack of depth may cause others to shop elsewhere.
