It's minimalist, but it is challenging. Qbik is a game that requires a lot of thought. If you dread games where your brainpower is fully engaged, it won't be for you, but otherwise there's no harm in giving this a go.- Switch Player

Energy Balance offers simple yet challenging puzzling. Whether you'll enjoy it or not depends wholly on if you get any satisfaction from solving tough mathematical challenges - if that's your bag, then at £2.99, why haven't you got it already?- Switch Player

Millie is a charming puzzle game which can hold your attention for hours, not least because some of its levels will take you that long to solve. With bright, colourful visuals, enchanting background music and some complex mechanics for an indie puzzler, Millie is well worth its £4.49 eShop price - though it does have faults in its controls and its progression requirements.- Switch Player

Draw a Stickman: Epic 2 is a charming little papercraft puzzler that offers players the unique ability to personalise their story creatively, even if the campaign is quite brief and some problems leave you scratching your head for too long.- Switch Player

Billiard is a run of the mill take on traditional billiards games. Unfortunately an uninspired presentation and lacklustre on the table gameplay mean that really only those truly desperate for some pool action on the Switch should consider this.- Switch Player

Rally Racers seeks to mix up the kart racing formula and actually presents some fun ideas but core gameplay is lacking just enough that the game doesn't quite fulfill its potential.- Switch Player

The Trail: Frontier Challenge wants to be a chilled out stroll through the country and to an extent it succeeds, unfortunately lacking game mechanics mean that things never amount to anything more than a walk in the woods.- Switch Player

Spy Chameleon is a decent puzzle stealth game with a fun central mechanic. Sadly, it fails to maintain enough of a challenge for the vast majority of players.- Switch Player

ESCAPE TRICK: 35 Fateful Enigmas has the premise of a fantastic game, but its execution is absolutely diabolical. It is frustrating, unrewarding, and ultimately not a lot of fun to play - especially as there are absolutely no options available to get help or skip the level you're on if you get stuck or can't work out the solution. Unless a hint feature is implemented, I wouldn't recommend this game to my worst enemy - unless they were as illogical in their thinking as this game is in its presentation.- Switch Player

As a premise, the Men of Yoshiwara games are something we should see more of - novels and particularly decide-your-destiny type books would be more than welcome on Nintendo's system. There's not enough new here to justify a purchase if you already have the first game, though - go for one or the other unless you're a genre fanatic.- Switch Player

Aeternoblade is a Metroidvania game that has an interesting plot on paper, sadly its gameplay and design leave a poorly executed and tedious game in its wake.- Switch Player

What it lacks in depth, 10 Second Run Returns makes up for in sharp, fun levels. If you enjoy a good platforming romp then this will scratch a short-term itch. But it won’t go far beyond that.- Switch Player

Enchanting Mahjong Match might be a repetitive title by design but even with the flaws it has the title still holds up as an engaging puzzler for the Nintendo Switch.- Switch Player

Jurassic World Pinball is a good timely addition to Pinball FX3, albeit a bit underwhelming. Not as imaginative as some other tables but manages to provide a glimpse into the world of Jurassic Park.- Switch Player

Sparkle 3 Genesis is a kind of contemplative experience that puts you in control of an ever-evolving creature. Unfortunately, it lacks variety and sounds more like a mini-game stretched out to become longer and, consequently, tedious.- Switch Player

Let's Sing 2018 is a fun karaoke experience and has a decent range of songs to keep most palettes engaged. Given that the game is costly, I do hope that there will be a price cut on the DLC extra songs, though.- Switch Player

NO THING is a great value game with some cool visuals, and it has challenging, entrancing gameplay that will give you that classic sense of achievement when you finish a level. Unfortunately, the sense of achievement for me was 'thank god I don't have to play that ever again'.- Switch Player

Paper Wars Cannon Fodder attempts a charming take on tower defence gameplay but unfortunately paper thin mechanics and lack of variation in content mean that this game fails to hold the attention for long.- Switch Player

Repetitive and limited to handheld mode due to touchscreens controls, Farm Expert 2018 looks like a lazy mobile port that doesn’t have much appeal to others than hardcore fans of the farming simulator genre.- Switch Player

Gate of Doom is an old brawler that was born in the arcade era and hasn’t evolved since then. With its repetitive combat, blurry visuals, and unbalanced difficulty, it is a game that doesn’t hold well in our modern times.- Switch Player

L.F.O mixes strong audio design with retro inspired graphics to great success, but unfortunately its basic gameplay lets it down dramatically.- Switch Player

Digital board games aren’t new, but Sumer shows how the format can excel in the context of a video game. There is plenty of depth that is aided by the fast-paced gameplay as you race to offer your sacrifices.- Switch Player

Deep Ones has an interesting visual style with a simplistic feel reminiscent of some earlier titles on the ZX Spectrum, but it gets into deep water with its shifting game modes and dissatisfying controls. Considering the calibre of action-platformers on the eShop at the moment, the game drowns in amongst its competition.- Switch Player

Where Are My Friends? is a game that is trying to do too much at once and loses a lot of its potential charm because of it, if it took one of the four gameplay ideas and concentrated on making it a standalone game it could've been so much more.- Switch Player

Splitter Critters is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. An engaging puzzle game that provides a challenging experience that gradually expands. This is all wrapped up in a distinctive paper constructed world that’s waiting to be ripped apart.- Switch Player

SKYPEACE might be a small title but it is packed with character and charm. Your find a relaxing title that offers enough challenge to keep you entertained for a few hours and that is worth the price of admission.- Switch Player

With a mysterious narrative about an unsettling old manor and its inhabitants, Goetia feels like a classic point and click adventure, but it has many quality of life improvements, which makes it worthwhile for any fan of the genre.- Switch Player

Henry the Hamster Handler is a simple, inexpensive game that's simple and amusing, but that still doesn't make it worth a purchase. The problem is once I'd finished 10 of the games' 300 levels I'd seen it all. I can't help but feel more effort could have gone into creating some variety in the levels rather than churning them out in a similar fashion to the in-game hamsters themselves.- Switch Player

While it may attract criticism for the licensing issues that meant the absence of a number of boards from other versions of the game, The Pinball Arcade isn't dramatically worse for it due to the similarity of the experiences of each board. It's pinball, and it's table pinball. You know what you're getting.- Switch Player
