    If Task Force Kampas featured a more structured campaign then it would easily be a must-have shoot 'em up. It's still very fun, though.

    Piczle Cross Adventure is perhaps my favourite Picross-style game. From its rewarding campaign to its charm; what's not to love?

    Indie strategy games don't get much more unconventional than Make War yet its gameplay becomes a bit too tedious at times.

    It may be a simple and repetitive game but Kingdom Two Crowns is oddly compelling and the new Dead Lands update offers even more content to sink your teeth into. In the end, it's a solid game to wind down with whenever you want to escape.

    If you have a fondness for tricky games like Marble Madness then Monochrome World is sure to delight and provide a solid challenge.

    I'm glad that games like Deliver Us The Moon exist as they prove that adventure games don't have to follow a cookie cutter formula.

    The many elements of Dread Nautical culminate in a formula that makes it enjoyable to chip away at the challenging campaign.

    It surely offers quirky and fun gameplay but Spuds Unearthed is held back by its simple structure that doesn't really go the extra mile.

    If you want to enjoy a challenging co-op game with a friend then Star Crossed is here to thoroughly test your gaming abilities.

    As of this moment, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto is the best game in the franchise so if you enjoy anime fighting games and want a great one on your Switch then you should definitely give this a go.

    Streets Of Rage 4 brings back the retro franchise in such a masterful way that it can convert modern gamers into hardcore fans of old-school beat 'em ups. With that said, it's still a bit too dated in some regards although it remains a heck of a lot of fun.

    Levelhead is one of the best platformers so far this year. If Butterscotch Shenanigans fixes some annoying issues that I had with the level editor then I'd consider it golden. Also, I wish there were a few more features like extra power-ups, backdrops, and a world maker with multiple levels but it's still an incredible game and I highly recommend it.

    As a huge fan of mid-'90s RPGs, I must admit that Miden Tower does a phenomenal job of recreating the magic of that era by offering a creative and immersive game world as well as satisfying combat and character progression that's surprisingly clever.

    Some classic arcade games haven't quite held up and although G-LOC: Air Battle is one such game; it still offers some short-lived fun.

    Puyo Puyo 2 refined the formula that its predecessor introduced in such clever ways that its gameplay persisted through the ages.

    Even if you own Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on a dozen consoles, playing it again on Switch is worth it for the few extras and portability.

    It's impressive how Galaxy of Pen & Paper +1 Edition feels like a completely different experience while offering a similar enjoyable formula.

    It may follow the same formula that its predecessor introduced but Knights of Pen & Paper 2 Deluxiest Edition managed to refine everything to be much more streamlined, fulfilling, and even humorous, too.

    Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Deluxier Edition remains an incredibly imaginative and fun-filled RPG that's hard to put down.

    Sakura Wars is an easy title to recommend to anyone looking for a layered game world populated by a cast of memorable characters. However, those who prefer a more immediately rewarding adventure will likely get exhausted by its story-heavy setup.

    By providing a rewarding adventure that features nifty mini-games, Black Rainbow is a worthwhile albeit dated point-and-click game.

    It may offer a variety of crazy situations but the core gameplay of Doug Hates His Job is nothing short of sloppy and irritating.

    Retro 2D action game aficionados will find a lot to love with the jam-packed and rather cute Taimumari: Complete Edition.

    I can already tell that Fairy Knights will be one of those super-fun indies that flies under most gamers' radars. Don't let it; play it now.

    Quest Hunter is one of those games that you'll wind down with after a long day as you chip away at its many side-quests and dungeons.

    It may look generic at first but once you dive deep into Freakout: Calamity TV Show, you'll be impressed with its over-the-top gameplay.

    Twin-stick shooter fans who are up for a challenge will have a literal blast toppling ITTA's dozen and a half challenging bosses.

    If Obey Me's many elements culminated in a more focused combat system then it would have been a must-have arena brawler.

    Predator: Hunting Grounds is a fantastic game to enjoy whenever you're in the mood for some chaotic and overly violent online multiplayer action. With that being said, playing it in long sessions will make the experience wear thin sooner rather than later.

    Trials of Mana is a gorgeous and delightful action RPG that's full of imagination and heart. In fact, it's so captivating that it made me fall in love with Seiken Densetsu all over again.
