With no clear indication as to the audience it is ideally designed for, with the difficulty clearly too high for children and design points proving too childish for adults, monotonous gameplay throughout, and overly basic mechanics making up its key aspects, Switch – Or Die Trying is likely to be a title many will quickly forget.

Tricky Thief is fine, if a little unremarkable. We appreciated that it makes the effort to spice up the ice-sliding recipe with some enemies, but we spent so long waiting for those enemies, that we got wistful for simpler, gimmick-free ice-sliding puzzlers - and there’s a fair few of those on Xbox.

If you’re looking to complete your Dark Quest set, Dark Quest: Remastered is worth a purchase. It’s a dusty curio that you can explore for a few hours. For anyone else, we gesture encouragingly towards the many, better Dark Quest sequels.

Orbibot will fill a gap, as long as that gap isn't a deep one. Aside from the extremely dodgy controls and camera, this is a fairly fun little physics-based puzzler which does its best to kill a bit of time. You'll find it frustrating at times, but for many the easy gathering of Gamerscore could well negate those problems.

Bunny Cubed is a simple game, one that is well-made, and tempting enough to drag you through to the final levels. There is a lack of challenge, and that will put a few people off, and maybe some would expect games like this to have a few more levels for the price.

Repentant is not a family-friendly romp, and is a large step away from your traditional LucasArts-style adventure. Play it after Return to Monkey Island and feel the whiplash.

Catacomb Master is not a bad deal. You get one, maybe two hours of leisurely platforming and puzzle-solving, with 1000 Gamerscore in your pocket before you’ve gotten comfortable on the sofa.

It’s hard to deny A Musical Story’s craft. The psychedelic soundtrack and dreamy visuals are independently great. But we’re in the business of reviewing games, and it’s here where it falters. This is a rhythm action game that fails to get you in a rhythm, and its innovations only add to the noise.

Freediving Hunter: Spearfishing the World on Xbox One has a lot going for it, but stumbles with a few issues. There is no game like it, and something unique is always to be celebrated. I can see that with a bit more polish and attention paid to the performance of the graphics engine it would be a lot better.

If you love the genre but are feeling signs of fatigue from the same rules, over and over, then Zoo Orbs is crafted just for you. Its merge physics might be a little off, and the mission structure does undermine the merging on occasion, but Zoo Orbs is unusual and new.

Perhaps the best way to play Toree’s 3D Platformer Collection is chronologically. Imagine it as the scrapbook of a couple of game developers ****who are inching, game by game, to the one they were made to make: an N64 3D platformer that could sit among the console’s best. Playing this collection, they still have a little way to go.

As a retro-throwback, Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl does its job extremely well. Heck, in some ways it does it too well. If you were the type who grew up on these games, I can say with all due respect that you will probably have a good time with this if you want to connect with your inner child.

You could easily spend many hours in this delightful, unusual world exploring every last inch, while building up your anonymous character. The cat worlds are great fun and the writing, humour, and characters are superb. However, the game mechanics are hard to work through and at times it feels like there is actually too much included. The price is quite heavy too, but if it comes down a bit in the future and you want a to try something completely different from the norm, then give Abo Khashem a go.

Where the Snow Settles will happily take you on a wondrous journey from start to the finish, but the problem is, that journey is all too short. The story feels rushed somewhat and there are questions left open that need answering.

Aerial_Knight’s DropShot is built around a strong concept which is fun to play for a time, but it doesn't quite get its hooks deep enough to qualify as addictive.

If you’re in a mood for a cheapo indie that absolutely runs away with its single mechanic, then Dark Burial: Enhanced Edition may be enough. But be prepared for the crossbow aiming to make you, well, cross.

We’d encourage you to pick up Kinduo, particularly if you have a co-op partner who’s eager to collaborate with you on some puzzles. But go in with the knowledge that, just as things get good, as the difficulty is beginning to creep in, it unceremoniously ends.

There is a bonsai farming game in Bit Orchard: Animal Valley. It’s just as cute, bite-size and satisfying as you’d hope it would be. But, by golly, do you have to work for it.

Shines Over: The Damned falls short of its potential. The visuals, soundtrack, and world-building are commendable, but the gameplay elements, particularly the platforming and combat, are frustrating and detract from the experience. The short playtime also leaves you wanting more.

Kursk could have been excellent, even though the premise itself is a little unsettling. The exploration and detail of the sub itself is great and feels very original, and there are some nice little gameplay elements found throughout. The movement between the different sub-compartments and the animation it brings does however become very annoying, very quickly, and it is this which destroys the impact of the game in regards to pacing.

For the low asking price, Dungeon Slime Collection does bring a modicum of fun, but it is fun that is cut short fairly quickly.

You’d be hard-pushed to find a game as rammed with choices, and as deep as Choice of Life: Middle Ages 2. Is that enough for a purchase? The choice, appropriately, is yours.

The two games featured in the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection were big deals when first released. Playing them again now, it is clear to see why. Whilst relics of the past, they still hold up quite well today. Sure, there are several issues including poor servers, frequent crashes and more, but the gameplay is still a lot of fun and goes someway to trumping the issues.

Murder Inc is a bit of a mixed bag. The story and atmosphere created are both decent enough, and I appreciated the opportunity to take in gameplay that isn’t just focused on going in, all guns blazing. But the controls hold Murder Inc back; they just don’t feel right and the loose crosshair annoys.

Zombieland: Double Tap – Roadtrip on Xbox One is a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Shooting zombies and completing the roadtrip is fun, but the annoyances and niggles do spoil things somewhat.

Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 does a better job than its predecessor in almost every way. However, at the core remains a simple and repetitive experience that won’t cater to all audiences.

Although short and simple, Freddy Spaghetti on Xbox is also a bit mad, making it fun to play for the most part. The levels can be hit and miss, however you can’t help wanting to stick with Freddy to see his adventure through to the end.

Farming sim fans will, quite obviously, relish the challenge and this has got everything they could ever want. I mean it all works fine, the career mode is good and there seems to be a range of vehicles that will satisfy farming experts around the world. But it is the newcomers to the genre that Real Farm might find tricky to attract - all because of the farming grind.
