    Dodo Peak
    Dodo Peak is well-trodden territory, and anyone who’s ever played Q*bert, or Frogger, or Crossy Road or anything like that will know the script here. You know something though? It doesn’t really matter. Not every game has to reinvent the wheel and at £7.49 there’s enough here to keep you busy for long enough to get your money’s worth (especially if you’re the sort of person like me who absolutely has to 3-star every level).

    Monopoly for Nintendo Switch
    It plays a fairly decent game of Monopoly. The real question for fans of the board game will be whether you think £29.99 / $39.99 is a fair price for the Switch version, given that it’s only a third of that price on Xbox One and PS4.

    Revenant Saga
    There’s an understandable temptation to get Revenant Saga because it’s currently one of the cheapest RPGs on the Switch. But as my granny used to say, “if you buy cheap, you get cheap”, and there’s really nothing remarkable about this one.

    Super Ping Pong Trick Shot
    For only $4.99 it may keep you busy for a while, but you’re likely to be bored with it before all 80 stages are complete.

    Night Trap: 25th Anniversary Edition
    If you’ve never played Night Trap before and want to know what the fuss was all about, there’s really no better way. The FMV genre has been as good as dead for a long time and as such there’s not much like it out there these days.

    Violett
    Violett’s landscapes are a true work of art, but they’re the setting for a series of point-and-click puzzles that are too abstract to make the game a must-have.

    Wheels of Aurelia
    It’s a very interesting game that deals with some deep topics – the likes of abortion and facism are discussed in certain story branches – and I appreciate the developer’s effort at trying something different. At its price it may be a tiny bit too steep for what it offers, so if you aren't convinced you may want to wait for a price drop in the future.

    ACA NeoGeo: Aero Fighters 2
    Aero Fighters 2 doesn’t do anything particularly special but it doesn’t do anything exceptionally badly either. It’s a perfectly fine '90s era arcade shooter for your Switch, right down to the moments of ridiculous slowdown when things get too hectic.

    ACA NeoGeo: Super Sidekicks
    It’s a fun, mindless football game that’s ideal for local two-player gameplay: the big chunky sprites make it great for playing with a pal on tabletop mode on the move.

    Party Golf
    If you regularly play local multiplayer with three or more players, Party Golf is well worth a look. Not since Towerfall have I enjoyed a four-player game so much. A warning, though: play it on your TV. The balls are far too small for tabletop mode.

    Dead Horizon
    As a completely free game, I adored the half-hour I spent playing Dead Horizon and reading its lore book. I’d urge you to do the same: it’s the perfect proof that not all stories have to be long to feel epic.
