    Special Episode is an additional package for those who enjoyed the adventures found in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. It may seem a short addendum, but with new levels, remixes, and a new co-op gameplay addition, it offers much more than meets the eye.

    Despite its rough presentation, Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World is a complex town-building game that manages to incorporate different elements from the Atelier series into a satisfying experience.

    My Brother Rabbit is a short experience which is oddly missing touch controls, but is enjoyable while it lasts. There’s room for improvement, though.

    Mother Russia Bleeds is violent and gory and definitely not for everyone, but tells an enjoyable pocket-sized story while it lasts.

    Fun, creative, and challenging boss battles dampened by outdated controls. Frustrating fun.

    Monkey Wall is a wall-based endless runner, but the package is light. After the first run, the novelty starts to go – it’s a good thing it’s cheap.

    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.

    The Raven Remastered is a classic whodunit story, with a genuinely intriguing plot and some great voice acting, particularly from the lovable lead Zellner .The load times may be intrusive at times, and I don’t really know what’s remastered about it (Other than some lighting effects maybe?), but its accessible gameplay make it one to recommend to any friend or family member that may be into their crime fiction.

    The concept of Trailblazers makes it a racing game like no other, and its coloured trail mechanic certainly offers a unique experience. But loose controls and dead multiplayer mean this isn’t a great package.

    With a revamped presentation, Knights of Pen & Paper 2 Deluxiest Edition delivers a simple but entertaining entry into the series. If you’ve played the first game, this is more of the same.

    Car Mechanic Simulator is free on phones, but £14.99 on the Switch eShop. Just play it on the phone – you won’t play it more than once, anyway.

    Halloween Pinball will give you a short burst of nostalgic, arcade entertainment. With only one table and just the classic pinball formula on offer, if you’re a fan of the genre and love chasing high scores, you can’t go far wrong; but it does feel lacking.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Loot Monkey: Bling Palace pales in comparison to the many other indie platformers out there that do what it does better. With an unreasonably steep price tag for its content, and mundane gameplay, the only real joy I got was from playing as the cute monkey protagonist.

    #KILLALLZOMBIES is an entertaining high-score driven zombie mayhem experience. It has enough to justify a place in your Switch library, and has a pick-up-and-play nature which means you might come back to it down the line.

    Shut Eye is short-lasting horror. It certainly has an atmosphere, but that diminishes as things get repetitive.

    Among the mobile games available on Switch, Swords & Soldiers stands out as an enjoyable strategy game that, despite its simplicity, works well as a bite-sized handheld experience.

    Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is a nice throwback to the golden age of 3D action-platformers. Just don’t expect all of that genres ticks to have been fully ironed out.

    Trials Rising is the latest of the nearly-20 year phenomenon which, unfortunately, proves that less can indeed be more. The addition of the mid-game grind immediately dissuades the player from continuing and, coupled with the Switch version’s shortcomings, only highlights how great we used to have it.

    RIOT – Civil Unrest is an interesting concept poorly executed, resulting in a tedious game that fails to achieve its own lofty aspirations. The distinction between police and protester is valid, but is executed in a way that leaves you wanting greater insight.

    Guess the Word is really poor on all fronts. Light on content, entertainment and education, it doesn’t have a place on the Switch eShop.

    Dokuro is a good puzzler, but not a spectacular one. It has some good ideas, but we’d have liked to see more. It is fun, though, it must be said.

    Julie’s Sweets is good fun, if a little pricey. A non-intuitive control scheme stops it from acquiring a higher score, though.

    At a first glance, Downwell doesn’t catch the eye; it’s a simplistic game with a minimalistic art style, and basic mechanics. But it becomes compelling due to its slick controls and synergistic elements.

    Fly O’Clock provides for very short bursts of entertainment. Getting some friends involved helps, but realistically you’ll only want to invest in this if you’re a high score chaser.

    Aragami is a fun, challenging stealth-action title with plenty to offer in terms of singleplayer and multiplayer. Although its performance on Nintendo Switch isn’t the greatest, the game has plenty of replay value, and has a stunning design and soundtrack.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Exploring test chambers and completing mind-bending puzzles never gets old. With a clever, creative and innovative premise, Q.U.B.E. 2 is a first-person puzzle game good enough for you to overlook its shallow narrative and technical flaws.

    Ape Out is the embodiment of video game perfection. A clear artistic direction perfectly marries and compliments a simple, yet challenging, gameplay hook that keeps you coming back time after time. Additional challenging modes provide further replayability, and any excuse to keep playing is a good one in my books.
