Swordbreaker The Game delivers on its promise of a choose-your-own-adventure story. If you like reading and enjoy a somewhat crazy adventure, this isn't a bad way to spend a few hours, especially if you're in self-isolation mode right now.
Ganbare! Super Strikers is a fun tactical RPG that happens to feature soccer players. The turn-based approach works well overall, though the formula can wear a little thin after playing several matches in a row.
Fishing Adventure is a mediocre fishing experience for the Nintendo Switch. While it looks nice, it suffers from a simple and repetitive formula that detracts from the overall experience. The idea of leveling up and earning rewards is sound, but it's executed poorly, making it feel like a grinding experience.
Super Mega Space Blaster Special Turbo may have an absurd title that's hard to remember, but it's a super-fun and addictive shooter, with plenty of modes and challenges. The high difficulty will please shmup fans, pushing you to play just one more time…
Milo's Quest is a fun and cute game that plays like a simple RPG with a dog protagonist. There's a lot to like for the budget price, though it does lack some variety and is over rather quickly.
Red Bow features an engaging story set in a creepy 16-bit world. The puzzles are fun without being frustrating. You'll want to see it all; unfortunately it's over rather quickly.
Link-a-Pix Deluxe is a fun and relaxing puzzler that uses number logic to uncover hidden pictures. There's plenty on offer here, with more available as DLC. As a "deluxe" title, is a shame it wasn't all bundled together.
Jets'n'Guns is a fair shooter that suffers from some user interface and menu issues. It's still a tough and fun time if you're up for some blasting action, and worth a look for fans of the genre.
Super Street: Racer is a fun driving simulation game with plenty of customization options so you can build your perfect car. The races are fast and fluid and, with a few more features and tracks, this could be an even better racing title.
While Dark Devotion certainly adds a few novelties for a roguelike, it maintains a high difficulty level that can be off-putting. It looks lovely, though some iffy controls and sometimes convoluted story detract from the overall enjoyment.
Overall, there are things I like about Just Ignore Them and things I don’t like. Once I knew how to play, it was much more enjoyable. I feel like a lot of players will give up after 20 or 30 minutes though.
Reventure is a creative take on the adventure-platforming genre. It pokes fun at classic Zelda-isms while providing an enjoyable way to forge your own path by finding all 100 endings to the game. This humorous game makes excellent use of its retro graphics and audio to create something truly unique and downright enjoyable. Check it out!
Police Stories is a top-down shooter featuring stealthy missions as you work through a case in the late '90s. There's a fun and addictive game here, if you can get past the difficulty level.
Smoots answers the question, what would it be like to combine the look of Wii Sports with the action of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games – in a budget format? It's fun and easy to play, though it won't have much staying power. Give it a go if you're looking for a party game alternative while you're waiting for the next Mario and Sonic title.
Invasion of Alien X – Earth in Crisis is just OK. It's very simple and plays fine, but without any kind of incentives, there's no real reason to play this for more than an hour or two.
Super Kirby Clash is a fun game that makes fighting somewhat adorable. The battles with AI and local friends and fast and fun, although a little on the repetitive side. Online battles are too slow to be truly enjoyable but overall this is a free game that provides entertainment in short bursts as you level up your Kirby.
It’s easy enough to play although the concept starts to wear a little thin over time. There’s also a bit of a learning curve at first – and indeed throughout – as a lot of elements aren’t well explained. Still, this is a fun ride while it lasts and should be one to consider if you like something a little different – and you’re spatially aware.
Epic Clicker Journey is a game that tries to mesh RPG elements with the clicker genre. While it's fun in short bursts, there's not enough to hold your attention for long. Its repetitiveness coupled with design issues make this one a game to avoid unless you're a huge clicker fan.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses was a long time in the making and, thankfully, was well worth the wait. It's impossible to put down, bringing a deep story that involves true character development across a diverse cast, all voiced to perfection. It looks glorious and has epic turn-based battles to boot. This is a must-own game for every Switch owner.
VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action is a unique experience that's literally a book in game form. Mixing drinks and changing lives proves to be a blast as you interact with many interesting characters. There's loads of reading to do here but as long as you're ready to read a novel while you play, this is one book, er, game that you won't want to put down.
