Deadliest Catch: The Game had the almost admirable ability to make me not want to either take up crab fishing in real life, nor to find out what the eventual endgame of its videogame counterpart was.

Singstar Ultimate Party completely fails to move with the times, with an overall karaoke package that is inferior to the 2004 blueprint.

5 / 10.0 - Itadaki Smash
Jul 5, 2022

Itadaki Smash has some decent humour in places and can give you a few hours of slightly underwhelming fighting fun. But with so much better available out there, we would suggest looking elsewhere to get your belt scroller fix.

Frankly I would prefer to see the same level of imagination and ingenuity in the razor sharp writing translated to another point and click classic.

The problem with Breakout: Recharged is being asked to pay the thick end of a tenner for something that doesn't re-invent the wheel, and can be experienced better elsewhere. Sadly it just represents poor value.

Despite being a decent racer, RiMS Racing struggles on Nintendo Switch due to the limitations of the device.

5 / 10.0 - Rustler
Sep 7, 2021

With a bit more thought and consideration towards the controls, combat and structure, and less reliance on fart and poo gags, Rustler could have been a riot.

5 / 10.0 - Mayhem Brawler
Aug 19, 2021

The comic book aspect and way that the whole thing is framed is spectacular, sadly the gameplay and longevity, less so.

There are simply far better options available than Will Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town, and as such this cannot be recommended as anything near to the best the console offers.

5 / 10.0 - Pong Quest
Jun 1, 2020

Pong Quest has real heart and soul, it just hasn't been properly thought through, and that's a shame, as the flimsy story is genuinely likeable

5 / 10.0 - Wooden Sen'SeY
Aug 7, 2014

Wooden Sen'Sey isn't the worst title in the world – it just exists in a time when we expect a bit more from our platformers, particularly when you are shelling out the thick end of a tenner. Again, I tip my traditional pointy straw hat in the direction of another tiny developer who have done some good work here – and I hope that they continue to develop for a console they clearly have a solid grasp of – but things really need to be a bit tighter next time.

5 / 10.0 - Ice Cream Surfer
Jul 31, 2014

Ice Cream Surfer tells the story of a maniacal vegetable hell bent on destroying the sugary world of the flying gelato-influenced heroes, but just as fast food and candy treats are light on essential nutrients and likely to do you more harm than good, this is a game that is probably best left on the shelf, with other far more healthy options available to the discerning shooter fan.

5.5 / 10.0 - Staxel

If you are looking for a charming farming sim, you would probably be better looking down yonder Stardew Valley.

5.5 / 10.0 - Turrican Flashback
Jan 25, 2021

A compilation of some good and some average games, but given the historic nature of them all, it'd have been nice to see a bit more effort put into this package.

R-Type Final 3 Evolved is a decent shooter, which many will enjoy, but it lacks the finesse and stark beauty of the titles that inspired it.

6 / 10.0 - God of Rock
Apr 29, 2023

Despite its bonkers idea, God of Rock is likeable, although its mechanics can be confusing and overcomplicate things at times.

Tales of Symphonia Remastered is still a great action JRPG and an important one in establishing the now long-running series, but there are better ways to experience it than this.

6 / 10.0 - Lila's Sky Ark
Apr 28, 2022

Lila's Sky Ark looks and sounds terrific, and whilst pretty easy to complete, is a decent little diversion with some unique aspects that will provide a gentle and strange diversion from reality.

Phantom Breaker: Omnia is a perfectly serviceable fighter, but the story is dull and unexciting, and there's better out there.

Despite all the flaws, I still ploughed through Actraiser Renaissance, because, well, I love Actraiser, which is about the best that can be said for it.
