In the end, Instant Tennis is not going to reinvent the wheel, but it didn't set to do this in the first place. It's a casual, family oriented game that wishes to provide entertainment for a wider audience, so it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.
The game is short, but that doesn't mean it's not a solid experience. This is the second entry in a Bithell Shorts series from the developer that focuses heavily on the story of the game, and it honestly is a must-play on Nintendo Switch. There are multiple choices to make along the way and different ways for things to play out, so you can definitely give it another go by playing it differently. And once you've completed it once, you can give it a go with the developer's commentary to gain some insight into the team's process.
Hellfront: Honeymoon is a good game with a lot of content from a small indie team that has managed to give us dozens of stages for single-player and local co-op as well as several options for two to four players multiplayer versus deathmatch. The game has easy to understand gameplay mechanics and is a condensed take on both the twin-stick shooter genre and the RTS genre, giving us a game that is sure to please players of all skill levels. I got to play this one on my own as well as with my Godson, who also had a good time. He did mention that he felt that the difficulty ramped up considerably between the first and second world, but he said that he didn't think the higher difficulty was unfair – but that it did require skilled players.

All things considered, it's not a bad game on its own, but its' definitely not at the same level as other Tycoon simulation games you might have played. The game is available right now on Nintendo Switch for $49.99 in the Nintendo eshop so that you can play the game at home or on the go. The game is one I'd certainly recommend to more casual audiences who are looking for a fun game to get into the simulation genre without feeling overwhelmed.
PSN Price: $29.99
Battle Princess Madelyn from Causal Bit Games and Hound Picked Games is quite an enjoyable game and one you should certainly check out!
PSN Price: $24.99
Stay is certainly a different type of experience, what with its in-game timer and how it affects the wellbeing of Quinn. Taking a break from the game for an extended period of time could prove to be fatal for him, so you'll always need to make sure you check in on him every now and then. Other than the lack of a hint system, I definitely recommend you check this one out!
Azure Reflections definitely ticks all boxes in the bullet hell genre, giving us a very colorful game with very colorful death bullets around every corner. If you're new to the genre, I suggest that you start by playing in the lower difficulty settings so that you can get the hang of things. Those of you who are seasoned experts in the genre can certainly dive into the deep end, entering a Zen state of mind as you dodge hundreds of bullets with little to no room for mistakes.
The character and enemy design is minimalist and charming, and I’m sure you’re going to dig this one!
For me, this game was an incoherent mess. I struggled to follow things, which is a shame as I was looking forward to enjoying Gene Rain, but the game's meh gameplay mechanics, with unresponsive controllers, not to mention the convoluted story, those are things that got in the way and kept me from being able to enjoy my time with this one. I can't recommend the game in its current condition.
Youtubers Life OMG Edition is certainly playable. It didn't crash once, but it did bug out several times. If you are a hardcore simulation fan, or if you want a game where you don't really want to think too much about the experience, then go ahead and try this game. But if you are looking for a polished simulation experience, I'm afraid you won't find it here.
I had a lot of fun with TerraTech creating vehicles and putting them to work. What surprised me most though was how I was spreading my time out over all of the different game modes. Typically in games like this one, I will stick to one mode and stay with it. It speaks to the smart game design that I wanted to spend time with all of the modes and made it made me better in the game as I got those experiences. If you like Survival/Building games this one takes a unique spin and is definitely worth checking out and investing some time in.
bloxiq does a lot of things right, providing us with a ton of puzzles to play with 100 challenging levels that will keep you busy for a while.
Passpartout: The Starving Artist is definitely a good catch for those of you looking for a casual and relaxing experience. If you're looking for a game to de-stress with, then this is exactly what you need. It's not a very challenging game, and there's no online or local multiplayer, so it'll probably be best for the “Me Time” section of your gaming collection. If you want a quirky and charming game for the Nintendo Switch in which you take on the role of a starving artist, then this is exactly what you need!
Emerald Shores is a fun and short 2D indie platformer with a twist that sets it apart from other entries in the genre on PS4.
NAIRI: Tower of Shirin is a very fun game that I highly recommend you give a try – it's absolutely worth it. The game has a very cute look and a charming cast that will keep you coming back for more until you make it to the end. Do let me know what you think of NAIRI: Tower of Shirin on Nintendo Switch!
Castle of Heart is a linear but good looking and fun 2.5D action platformer on Nintendo Switch that is worth a try. The game has been improved considerably from the version that was originally released by 7Levels on Nintendo Switch, and while you can certainly feel the Castlevania influence, the game has more to do with Super Castlevania IV than with Symphoni of the Night, so be ready!
Timber Tennis: Versus is a fun arcade-style take on the sport that will keep you busy for a while.
