    8-Bit Invaders is a solid finale to a fantastic trilogy of accessible RTS games. It doesn't deviate much from the other 2 games but when the core gameplay is as fun and intuitive as it is, simply having more stages to master within a new theme is enough.

    Evoland and its clever riff on gaming culture and history is perfect for long-time gamers while Evoland 2 is a fantastic RPG that belongs in the top echelon of indie games. However, this bundle is currently held back by bugs that will hopefully be ironed out soon.

    Although Puzzle Bobble 2 is definitely a step up from the barebones original, it isn't much of an improvement. Obviously, that doesn't mean that it isn't fun because it surely is, especially if you have a local chum to enjoy it with.

    Although Necrosphere Deluxe features simplified yet challenging 2D platforming gameplay, it's a very short game that can be a bit too frustrating at times. On the plus side, the '80s synth soundtrack is absolutely fantastic.

    Agartha-S reminded me of the times I'd blindly rent a NES game as a kid then become pleasantly surprised upon playing it. It's truly a hidden gem for Switch and I highly recommend it whether you're into retro-style games or just looking to play something unique.

    If you're looking for a local multiplayer game to add to your collection then Stunt Kite Party is a fantastic competitive party game that'll keep a couch full of chums entertained. However, don't expect to play it solo because it's simply not as fun.

    Considering #killallzombies released about 5 years ago, you'd expect it to have some sort of longevity to deserve a Switch port but instead, it's a by-the-numbers twin-stick roguelike that you'll probably forget about shortly after giving it a few tries.

    It feels like a strange game at first but once you realise what Mercury Race expects from its players, you'll definitely have a good time.

    Food Truck Tycoon is a simplistic restaurant management game that can be fun if you're looking to pass the time while waiting for a bus or something. However, it definitely won't keep you engaged for long with its basic gameplay and goofy presentation.

    It may be a simplistic game but Estiman offers enough variety and presentational flair to keep you trying to beat your high score.

    Touhou Sky Arena: Matsuri Climax is one of the most unconventional fighting games that you'll ever play. If you have the patience to thoroughly learn its ins and outs then it can be quite a satisfying fighter. Otherwise, it'll make for a frustrating time.

    Having the ability to play a Commander Keen game on a modern console is fantastic. However, Keen Dreams is far from the best that the series has to offer so here's hoping that we get to enjoy the commander's other adventures soon.

    The Price of Survival is by far the most impressive DLC pack yet as it features multiple challenging and visually interesting puzzles that are wrapped in a plot which actually integrates into the main story impressively well.

    Mastering the incredibly tough stages in KYUB is a feat fit for a gaming wizard but thankfully, the journey can be fun for everyone.

    Percy's Predicament Deluxe is a simplistic take on stage-based marble-rolling gameplay but it's very rough around the edges.

    Although it looks and sounds great, Klondike Solitaire is still very basic and it lacks touchscreen support which is just silly.

    Nice Slice is a goofy game through and through but its unique albeit simplistic gameplay still has some charm to it.

    It may be a simple game but working through Love's tricky stages is pretty fun. I just wish there were more of them to master.

    Ghoulboy is a solid 2D platformer but it simply doesn't take enough risks to make it a must-have game for fans of the genre.

    If you're looking for a mind-blowing albeit simplistic shmup then Rym 9000 will make a solid addition to your collection.

    Puzzle fans will find a lot to love in Minesweeper Genius. The amount of enjoyable gameplay and replay value is downright fantastic.

    Gamers who relish old-school experiences complete with unfair deaths will certainly find a lot to like about Bard's Gold. Unfortunately, modern gamers who prefer more streamlined games will likely get too annoyed with this one.

    Kart racer enthusiasts and cat fanciers alike owe it to themselves to pick up a copy of Meow Motors. It's an exhilarating and fun game even if it doesn't tick all the boxes of a typical AAA racing game.

    If you want to get lost in a beautiful virtual world that's full of satisfying puzzles then XING: The Land Beyond is a must-have game.

    TrainerVR does a good job of giving you the freedom to make your own elaborate train tracks but it could use at least some structure.

    Seeing as it's not as good as classic shooting gallery arcade games, why anyone would bother with Guns'n'Stories is beyond me.

    The Serpent's Heart DLC contains the most interesting and challenging puzzles yet and it will get your heart racing. The story is nicely intertwined with the gameplay, too. If only the fun could have lasted a bit longer...

    Overload might just be the greatest six degrees of freedom game yet with its tight and intuitive controls and gorgeous presentation.

    The Walking Vegetables: Radical Edition may feature generic twin-stick shooting gameplay but its '80s aesthetic makes it feel unique.

    The Grand Caiman DLC contains a visually impressive challenge tomb with a decent amount of difficulty. It's one of the shortest packs so far but as it keeps things interesting throughout the side mission and adds a little to the story, I still recommend it.
