Bear With Me: The Lost Robots manages to avoid many of the pitfalls of the point-and-click genre. A few flaws take some of the shine off, but if you’re a fan of the genre you’ll likely enjoy this one regardless.

Doraemon: Story of Seasons really pulls you into its story and makes you invested in what happens to its characters. Its perfect pacing and easy to understand play make it all the easier to lose yourself in.

Earthfall is much better when played with friends but there’s nothing here that’ll really blow you away. A solid if unspectacular effort.

Family Tree is a vibrant pinball platformer that’s a perfectly acceptable use of fifteen minutes here and there. It won’t be taking home any GOTY awards, but you can probably do a lot worse for £6.99 on the Switch.

A CRPG classic whose story holds up, though suffers from a cumbersome control scheme, sound bugs, game crashes, and seemingly poor optimisation. If you are keen to try out these classics, unfortunately the Switch version is not an ideal way to do so.

Super Money Ball: Banana Blitz HD feels at odds with both its former self and the new hardware it is running on. It lacks the functions, features and creativity to bring this Sega series back to where it belongs — in the hearts of many a gamer.

A Hat in Time brings back a genre that, as Nintendo fans, we hold a ton of nostalgia for. Even with some archaic mechanics present, this is still one of the best modern examples of what a 3D platformer should be.

Starblox Inc. offers a unique couch co-op puzzle-brawler experience that, unless your friends are extremely passive, won’t work that well for you. This is largely due to its unpolished controls and hit-or-miss accuracy issues.

Resident Evil 5 continues a year of already impressive ports on Nintendo, working in full motion controls and all released DLC to work as the definitive way to play.

Yuri’s unique premise, incredible soundtrack and beautifully crafted levels are not enough to detract from the poor platforming gameplay on offer here. With too many alternative eShop hits to mention, Yuri’s success is likely to remain a pipe dream.

Whilst the whimsical nature of Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout can act as a double-edged sword, feeling both magical and fleeting mere moments apart, Ryza’s infectious personality is a joy to behold. In-depth combat and item synthesis are cleverly utilised throughout and, despite characters and narrative producing varying results, the overall quality is up there with the very best.

A Knight’s Quest seeks to give players access to the serene joy of a 90s action-adventure game. Unfortunately, the result is an unremarkable attempt to go beyond imitation without anything interesting enough to prop it up.

Close to the Sun takes gorgeous environments and stellar world-building and mixes it with confusing storytelling and a technically bad port. Fans of the “walking simulator” genre will probably want to experience it, but everyone else should walk away.

Freedom Finger is, potentially, the best game of 2019 that will largely – and wrongfully – go unnoticed. From start to finish, regardless of whether you make it to the narrative end or not, it’s an experience that shouldn’t be missed.

Midnight Evil offers some jump scares but little in the way of variety of gameplay. A short experience that’s not really competitively priced on the eShop, but is recommended for a Halloween night playthrough.

A Hole New World is a decent enough retro platforming experience, but it’s short, and doesn’t stand out from the pack. The First Press Games collector’s edition looks tasty, though.

The Bradwell Conspiracy had everything going for it but unfortunately fails to deliver. The narrative may be decent, but thanks to the awkward gameplay, technical issues, and frustrating user experience, it’s hard to recommend without some serious patching.

Billy Bomber is simply not a good game. With almost nothing positive to speak of you have an experience here that is frustrating, rudimentary, and just plain boring. Continuing to scroll down on the eShop is my best advice.

Super Box Land Demake is a decent puzzle game for more casual players, but if you’re on the lookout for one with a little more challenge, it may be worth turning your attention elsewhere.

A point-and-click adventure game that does little to warrant its existence. Although it has an intriguing visual style, the comically bad story, lacklustre puzzles and extremely short run-time make it a hard game to enjoy.

Galaxy Champions TV is an unrelenting take on the top-down twin-stick shooter, but one filled with enough pixel-based charm and tight gunplay to make returning to it never a chore.

Alchemic Jousts offers a truly imaginative idea and makes it as monotonous as possible. Can be fun in short bursts or with a friend, but otherwise, you will find better examples of single-player titles elsewhere in this genre.

Fitness games are often judged on whether they make you forget you are exercising, but if you forget, you’re probably doing it wrong. What Ring Fit Adventure succeeds in, is making that exercise consistently enjoyable yet still effective.

You might not be going to Luigi’s Mansion 3 for Halloween frights but with so many inspired set-pieces, mechanics and secrets, this is the ghost-gusting adventure at its charming best. But this time Luigi deserves to share his limelight with his green gooey doppelganger.

Killer Queen Black is a near-perfect collation of individual elements that, when combined, make for an engaging, intense multiplayer experience.

With its humorous spy theme and its satisfying, varied puzzles, Agent A is great fun. Admittedly, it’s currently cheaper and probably more at home on mobile, but it’s still a solid point-and-click addition to the Switch library.

Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition does fulfill the promise of bringing back the experience of an old-school cRPG. As a result, though, it also comes with a convoluted combat that can get in the way of the game’s main appeal: its expansive fictional universe.

Fight’N Rage is a thoroughly enjoyable beat’em up; it’s well balanced gameplay grants no small amount of fun. The only downsides are content locked behind difficult tasks for casual players and poorly done fan-service that takes away from the story’s tone.
