Tiny Thor is a cute, colorful 2D platformer with a fun, nostalgic style. But an over-reliance on genre tropes and under utilization of its mythological source material mean it doesn't stand out from the wealth of similar games.
Lumberhill is a perfectly enjoyable, if not entirely original, time-challenge multi-tasking party game with levels that take you to some fun places.
Derpy Conga is a game that is so adorable in every way that it is difficult to dislike, but needs some polish before it can reach its full potential.
Watermelon Blocks is built for simplicity. It's missing some key details that would make the overall experience feel more complete, but it's still decently enjoyable at a cheap price.
The Amazing American Circus takes you on a romantic romp through the American frontier. It offers an innovative take on card duelling games that feels like a step in the right direction towards the experience it really wants to be.
Super Bomberman R Online offers your standard online multiplayer space for classic Bomberman battles, with premium perks available but quite a bit of waiting time.
Half Past Fate's pandemic themed addition to its romantic series is a nice little love story, but it doesn't have much in the way of player interaction and feels like it only scratches the surface of the emotional impact of looking for love in lockdown.
Balancelot has a solid aesthetic and a unique approach to gameplay, but even without the awkward combat that originality is hit and miss.
The Great Perhaps uses cute puzzles to explore the before and after of humanity's time on Earth, with a melancholy atmosphere that reaches for, but doesn't quite grasp, the profound.
Genetic Disaster is cute and quirky and designed for co-op play, as long as you don't mind grinding to unlock the more creative features of the game.
Air Conflicts: Pacific Carriers is a straightforward flight simulator that throws you into the heart of World War II dogfights and looks good doing it.
Sol Divide is a piece of gaming history that is probably worth the $7.99 it costs. It's not complex, but there's definitely nostalgia value, whether you're reliving the late '90s of experiencing their reboots for the first time.
Beautifully designed and at times surprisingly profound, but doesn't have a whole lot in the way of challenge.
Ground Divers is a decent mining game, with cute characters and fun dialogue punctuating an engaging, if brief, series of missions exploring the subterranean levels of an interesting alien planet.
Paper Dolls Original isn't the scariest horror game, but it's a solid attempt from a restricted studio and it does have some charm.
There isn't a lot of substance to Chicken Rider, but its bright colours and silly sounds make it enjoyable enough.
It won't ever be known for its depth of plot or skill, but Avenger Bird is a fair enough game that adds a touch of nostalgia to the basic platformer structure.
A classic and colourful fantasy adventure, which is decent value for money but not hugely original.
Time Carnage is a decent enough arcade shooting game, but you can tell it wasn't designed for the Switch.
While undeniably gorgeous, Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption has a certain appeal to a specific kind of gamer due to its combination of simplicity and brutality, but others will find it lacking for those exact same traits.
