Touken Ranbu Warriors has some great new ideas for the genre, but its lack of any challenge really lets it down.
Hardspace: Shipbreaker is like no other game out there, and offers a genuinely immersive and rewarding experience.
Evil Dead: The Game is a great concept for an asymmetrical multiplayer game, but poor combat and terrible balancing makes it hard to recommend.
Floppy Knights combines card game and turn-based tactics to create an experience that demands to be played. And it's on Game Pass now!
There are dozens of alternatives out there either for Dark Souls fans or sci-fi nuts, and Dolmen is just too riddled with issues to recommend.
Vampire - The Masquerade: Swansong offers a deep RPG game and an engrossing story, with some well-designed puzzles along the way.
Eternal Threads has a fantastic idea that's well-executed, with some great story beats and characters you can't help but like.
If you have a Quest and are looking for something to help you relax and wind down, Little Cities VR is the perfect city-builder to while away a few afternoons.
V Rising could be the next big survival game. Whether you want to play alone, with, or against other players, this has you covered. Once you get the hang of the combat you’ll begin to feel more and more powerful, crafting a towering castle that will terrify any delivery driver to their very core. I’m confident this will do well, and Early Access will continue to add new touches, tweaks and content between now and the eventual full release. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own castle, only descending into the neighbouring villages to rip people open and finish them in one swallow like a Froob, V Rising may be the game you’ve been waiting for.
Crystar runs really well on the Switch, but is held back by poor combat and level design.
The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story is a great example of FMV done right, with a captivating mystery and engaging investigations throughout.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising has flashy combat and gorgeous visuals, but the repetitive gameplay loop really holds it back.
We Were Here Forever is a fun, challenging co-op puzzler, but it's too long and has too many obtuse puzzles to easily recommend to everyone.
Salt and Sacrifice may not be the best Metroidvania ever made, but as a 2D distillation of the Soulslike formula, this is pure gaming alchemy.
Aside a few complaints here and there, King Arthur: Knight's Tale is a grim, compelling take on the legend of Camelot.
Imp of the Sun isn't a bad game at all, but with a few issues and so much choice when it comes to Metroidvanias it's tough to recommend
Loot River offers a challenge for the most sadistic of players. While the combat elements are enjoyable and the moving platforms give it a new spin that really works, I just always felt cheated with the lack of progress I was making.
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.
Despite some occasional slowdown and framerate shenanigans Ganryu 2 is beautifully animated and moves around at a fair old lick, and the whole package is just a gorgeous neo-retro arcade treat.
Bugsnax runs really well on Switch, but loses a little magic without the DualSense.
