Castle of Heart is a fun console exclusive platformer that harks back to classics such as Castlevania and Ghosts 'n Goblins. It's a tad bland and repetitive, but it's worth checking out if you fancy testing your patience with a sword in hand.

The Bunker is a genuinely scary insight into loneliness and isolation. The setting and cast of characters really help bring its unsettling story to life, but the minimal interaction may put off a few people. I do wonder if it would've been more successful as a movie.

Membrane is a physics-based psychedelic puzzle-plaformer that is great fun to play. Offering an interesting mechanic and gameplay that is challenging but never too tough, fans of the genre will be sure to enjoy this one!

Bleed 2 offers good, frantic twin-stick shooting fun, but it would have been nice to see a few more levels and a bit more depth to the game beyond the frequent boss battles. Taken with the first game, though, Bleed is a fun package.

Danmaku Unlimited 3 is a very strong entry into the ever-growing shmup genre on Nintendo Switch. It takes nerves to conquer the endless bullets on display, but casual gamers are also well catered for with a generous selection of difficulty options.

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.

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.

Giving life to Mexican legends, Mulaka tells the unique journey of the titled shaman in the form as an action-adventure game. Despite its simple structure and loose combat, it still manages to awe thanks to its pleasant art style and superb soundtrack.

World Conqueror X offers a lot of content for its modest eShop price, and history fans will enjoy playing out a story which sticks as close to real-life as possible. It's not the most welcoming gameplay system, though, so novices may want to look elsewhere.

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.

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.

Old Man’s Journey takes form as a simple and short point and click adventure, which doesn’t offer much variety when it comes to gameplay or puzzle design. Still, if a superb art style and poignant narrative is enough to keep you interested, then it’s definitely a worth acquisition.

It’s a puzzle platformer with the core mechanic being that you can’t jump. Through it’s unashamed cute demeanour there is a deep, challenging game that is sometimes frustrating yet overall satisfying and hugely enjoyable.

Aqua Kitty UDX is a very strong arcade shooter that displays sharp gameplay and addictive game modes. It's not particularly original, but if you're one for chasing high scores, you'll have a blast, particularly if you bring a friend along for the ride.

ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun is a fantastic title that feels right at home on the Nintendo Switch. If you are looking for an addictive challenge then this is the title for you.

North is a brave entry into the Walking Simulator pantheon. Though not for everyone, it can be quite interesting to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.

AOT 2 excels when you're running around and chasing down the titans. It's a shame to have to break that up with worrying about having to purchase and upgrade weapons - the game should feel more backs-to-the-wall, so the emphasis should have been more on the action.

Super One More Jump throws away many of the platformer genre staples to focus solely on the jump mechanic. As a result, it delivers an experience that takes a while to reach full potential, but eventually becomes surprisingly challenging and enjoyable.

Samurai Aces is a solid shmup that is sure to please fans of the genre. Personally, the game felt a bit too similar to previous title Gunbird - but then again, why fix what isn't broken? If you're after fast-paced, intense gameplay, look no further.

Subsurface Circular is a finely crafted compact experience. Everything about it shines, from its retro-futuristic design and intoxicating soundtrack to its carefully considered text and narrative. This is truly a game where style and substance are perfectly balanced.

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.

Aegis Defenders manages to avoid the boredom found on some tower defense games by mixing it up with action and platforming elements. Its complexity and depth of strategy doesn’t lose its light even with its somewhat convoluted controls. With its top-notch pixel art style and charming narrative, it delivers an entertaining and unique experience.

Detention is a perfect example of how the video games medium can be utilised to tell unfamiliar, but important, stories in a novel and impactful way. That by no means takes away from its credibility as a horror game and instead strengthens it.

Bridge Constructor Portal is more than just a Valve themed reskin. Developer ClockStone have incorporated the fan favourite series with great elegance, using portals and their well-known physics based puzzle mechanics to genuinely spice up the Bridge building gameplay. Highly recommended to any fans of the Portal series.

Regardless of any slight graphical downgrade from other systems, the full Outlast atmosphere and performance levels are present and correct in this excellent package. It's a must for the collection of any adult Nintendo fan.

As far as space-set survival horror games go, Hollow sets the standard for a new low.

Wanderjahr: Try Again or Walk Away is a bland strategy game that feels more like a mobile game, very little interaction and lack of variety in gameplay make it a passable experience.

While its audience will of course be niche, this is a genre that the Switch needs to start seeing more of. Less a game than a Kindle app, the medium is perfectly suited to visual novel titles like this.
