    While Nicole provides several hours of entertainment, you might need a guide and some positive RNG in order to get through it properly. The visual-novel mode option provides a nice alternative if the romance is all you’re really looking for.

    Him & Her is a cheap platformer that could be worthwhile thanks to its different gameplay mechanics. Unfortunately, a bland presentation and some technical problems get in the way of your further enjoyment.

    With plenty of levels and modes, as well as a recipe for some hilarious gameplay, there’s a lot to like with Never Breakup. However, it’s missing a lot of the polish that would make it an easy recommendation, and it definitely isn’t worth your time on your own.

    As a mid-chapter of a long-branching narrative, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III doesn’t really slow down for new players. If you’re patient with the game’s unique passing, tough, you may find an engaging combat system and tons of content to enjoy.

    Clash Force does little to justify its existence outside of being an almost competent attempt at celebrating both earlier cartoons and games. Impersonating others whilst failing the carve out a niche for yourself is never a good recipe for success.

    Ultra Foodmess is a very accessible party game offering a limited amount of simple but addictive mini games to serve up laughs for up to four players. At this price, it is a dish worth tasting.

    Faeria is one of the best examples of a turn-based card game available yet on the Switch eShop. With various game modes, unlockables and cards to track down and unlcok, this one will keep you hooked for hours to come. It’s a hell of a lot of fun, and a joy to play.

    Neko Navy – Daydream Edition adds some humour into the tired shooter genre by replacing spaceships with flying cats. It’s an unusual experience and doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it is a competent shooter with plenty of replay value.

    SpyHack offers none of the thrills and spills that you’d expect of a game based on espionage. Lame gameplay, a litany of grammatical errors and miserable controls make for a really disappointing experience.

    Fans of people-watching and time-management will obsess over sleuthing out Do Not Feed The Monkeys’ many endings by spying, manipulating, and barely sleeping. Although playing on the Joy-Con feels sluggish, the touchscreen works well – except during an occasional game-breaking bug.

    Towaga: Among Shadows is a unique genre mash-up that just about gets away with it due to its attractive 2D animation and inventive upgrade system. The Joy-Con analogue stick might not be designed for such quick-paced play, but in short bursts it works fine.

    Skully bites off more than it can chew. Its central concept is excellent; the combination of the balance mechanic in a 3D world is solid. But the drab environment, awkward camera, and overall lack of quality take the shine off things.

    Phoenotopia: Awakening has the ingredients for an excellent experience, but poorly balanced combat mechanics and incredibly steep difficulty get in the way of a good time. With no adjustable difficulty settings in the game, be prepared for a slog.

    For fans of the anime, Fairy Tail may be the best thing since sliced bread. For JRPG fans who couldn’t care less about the source material, this is just another basic release that fails to do anything remotely interesting.

    Jisei: The First Case HD has the ingredients for something better, but a failure to dive deeper into what makes the story unique means that you’re likely to be left underwhelmed by this visual novel.

    There’s truly so little fun to be found in House Flipper, where ugly graphics, awful controls and some tedious UI all combine to create something far too dull to recommend. You’re better off watching paint dry.

    Remembered perhaps even more fondly than The Phantom Menace itself by some fans, Star Wars Episode I: Racer is as fun as you recall. While some difficulty issues can arise, Aspyr has done a fantastic job bringing that exhilarating, break-neck speed action back to Nintendo hardware.

    Radical Rabbit Stew borrows ingredients from a few other video games to boil up a 16-bit nostalgia hit, featuring a solid (if not overly long) arcade puzzle single-player campaign, a chaotic multiplayer offering, and a level editor. Delicious.

    Dex
    DEX delights and disappoints in ways that it feels only DEX can. The neo-noir, dystopian open world grabs your attention from the get-go, yet its grip loosens as the marvellous makes way for the mundane. What a shame.

    Depth of Extinction is an enjoyable tactical RPG that incorporates some devastating roguelike elements. It doesn’t do anything revolutionary, but the unique setting and solid gameplay allow it to shine a bit brighter than some of its contemporaries.

    Mobile hit Kingdom Rush is right at home on the Switch, with art that pops on all screen sizes, and smooth Joy-Con and touch controls. Though simple in formula, levels have a steep challenge, multiple difficulties, and excellent pacing.

    Farmer’s Dynasty has a whole host of tools at its arsenal, but with a plethora of bugs and issues, it offered no enjoyment for me at all. Poor graphics and annoying gameplay features make this £39.99 price point almost laughable.

    You won’t understand just how much you need a pixelated tentacle monster in your life until you play Carrion. The smooth controls, stellar soundtrack, and slick graphics will provide several hours of top-notch entertainment.

    Creaks is a children’s dream in motion. Beautifully atmospheric and mysterious from start to finish, it loses points only in its by-the-numbers puzzle design and a yearning left in the player for more interaction with this gorgeous world.

    Seeds of Resilience is ultimately a sad disappointment. The core game is compelling, but its major drawbacks – the awkward UI and the sluggish performance – really hold it back from succeeding as an actual game, which is crucial.

    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.

    Rogue Company seems a little bit too bare-bones in this early stage to be considered the Switch’s next killer online experience. It’s worth keeping an eye out to see if any new modes are added, but it’s perhaps too early to give it a recommendation just yet.

    Thunder Force AC may not be the shining light of the SEGA AGES collection, but space shooter fans and high-score enthusiasts will certainly be able to enjoy the experience. It’s short, but decent enough arcade fun.

    Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 is a sequel in the complete sense. It offers a familiar nostalgic-driven experience, but now with new playable characters and more challenging levels. It is more of the same, for the good and the bad.

    Defeat will come often when there are so many bullets pinging around Radio Squid’s restrictive play area; it’s near impossible to get any momentum going. This is an underwater journey that is repetitive and frustrating. Swim elsewhere!
