    A beautiful world, begging to be explored, with captivating tasks. The interface can be cumbersome, and the instructions vague, but that’s peanuts compared to the sense of exploration and intrigue that NUTS cultivates. Don’t let me cashew ignoring this one!

    Blanc is a unique, engaging experience with a few flaws in its approach to puzzles and controls. Still, the overall presentation and storybook feel should reward players looking for a relaxing co-op with a like-minded partner.

    At around a fiver, Another Lost Phone is certainly worth the experience, particularly if you've not tried an investigative game of this kind before. It's a one-time experience though - once you've played through it once, there's nothing new to find out.

    Representing yet another step forward for the RPG genre, Little Town Hero brings something fresh and engaging to the table. It perhaps needs more polish, but Game Freak are on to something special here and a sequel would be welcomed.

    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.

    While it would have been nice to see both Dustoff games in this package, there are loads of levels here to keep you going. Chances are you've not played much like it, so it's definitely an eShop title to try.

    Almost There: The Platformer is bare-bones platforming, with simplistic visuals and sound, but the platforming shines. If you fancy a challenge and have a few quid spare, it’s worth a spin. Be there and be square.

    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.

    Syrup and the Ultimate Sweet is a short, light visual novel. It’s a passable choice if you’re looking for something in the genre, but its fairly flimsy narrative won’t win it pride of place in your collection.

    Elden: Path of the Forgotten is a hard game, but it is far from frustrating and will please fans of the souls-like genre. The graphics, the soundtrack and the sound effects set the adventure very well, but I missed a narrative better experience, which would complement this game a lot. The bugs hindered me a little, but not to the point of making the whole experience bad. In general, Elden: Path of the Forgotten has some problems, but it's a great game.

    PUSS! is a punishing pixel-precision challenge wrapped in psychedelic visuals. It feels far too brutal, and the control methods available aren’t always suited to the task. It is a unique challenge, however, for the brave.

    As cumbersome as the name that precedes it, Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness has grand ideas that it just can’t live up to. It’s a genuine shame, but I can’t give this a strong recommendation.

    WRC 9 is representative of what happens when development teams are stretched too thin and care little about the platform they are developing for. Here’s to hoping this is a one-off and we see a return to form soon.

    Urban Trial Tricky is a fun take on a format Ubisoft successfully popularised some time ago. It’s suite of different unlocks and customisation options makes it a wild ride well worth taking, even if you’ll blow through stages relatively quickly.

    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.

    Rock of Ages 3 is great fun during the rolling bits, and not so much when designing your own courses – those sections are spent longing for the rolling to begin. The worlds are varied and wacky, but things can get a bit samey when played for too long.

    With a simple but competent art style, Townsmen delivers a town-building simulation experience akin to classic RTSs such as Age of Empires. Less focused on combat, but a bit repetitive, it compensates some of its problem with a huge amount of content.

    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.

    Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix is a fun, tactical game that is ultimately let down by its stereotypical, plain characters and a dull storyline. Fans who appreciate strategy should give it a try, but shouldn’t get their hopes up for anything beyond the game being 'good'.

    Snooker 19 is a decent snooker game, but a poor entry into any other category. Dated graphics and finicky controls make this hard to recommend.

    Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings is a fun yet sometimes tedious JRPG that has you doing a lot of busy work. In some cases there is some fun to be had but a boring battle system spoils what I found to be a fun and lighthearted experience and worth checking out.

    Tales of Symphonia was a fantastic JRPG back in the GameCube days, however the remaster leaves a few things to be desired. If you’ve already saved Sylvarant in the past, perhaps that’s where you should leave it, but new fans should find some enjoyment.

    Innerspace is a game full of style, but little substance. Its stubborn refusal to give direction throughout the experience can lead to extended periods of frustration, making this a game hard to recommend.

    Penny-Punching Princess brings an interesting slant to the brawler genre, one that sadly can become fiddly and repetitive over time. As a fairly expensive eShop title (physical release plans were scrapped at the last minute), it’s difficult to recommend a purchase here, given what you could get for your money instead. Penny-Punching Princess is certainly not a bad game, but it’s not a great one either. One to look for in the sales then, where your calculator allows.

    Cobra Kai: The Saga Continues is a slavish love letter to the TV show it’s based on, but movie call backs and fan-favourite moments only goes so far. There are far more competent and creative brawlers on Switch.

    Gibbon: Beyond the Trees combines gorgeous painterly visuals, and fantastic swinging mechanics, with an urgent and emotional story told with sensitivity. Sadly a couple of performance issues hold back this lovely game, leaving it a few monkeys short of a zoo.

    All-Star Fruit Racing is a colourful vibrant kart racer that brings new ideas to the track but doesn't execute them well enough to become a worthwhile option. Due to tech issues and dead multiplayer, you may find better enjoyment elsewhere.

    NBA Playgrounds is a game that is instantly playable - but the more you chip away at it, the more you're disappointed by the lack of content at release. It can be fantastic to pick up and play when you’re with a group of friends, but the lack of online multiplayer at launch means you’ll find yourself enjoying Playgrounds less and less very quickly.

    Overall, King’s Bounty II was an enjoyable experience with some unique gameplay elements. It’s slightly let down by its frame rate and graphical issues and I can’t really justify it at its current price point, but if it goes on sale it’s definitely one to pick up.

    Bendy and the Ink Machine is a decent environmental puzzle title. Sadly, though, it just doesn't work as a survival horror. There are more effective examples already available on the Switch, and you'd do well to check those out first.
