One of the most innovative shooters in years is now one of the most innovative shooters on the Switch.
While Wreckfest is technically a simulation racer, it isn't concerned with accurate engine tweaking or proper racing lines, and it's all the better for it. Glitches aside, the focus on vehicular carnage makes for a fulfilling racing experience.
The Hotline Miami Collection on Switch is the perfect reminder for the series' excellence for returning players and the best possible introduction for new players.
Although the gratifying combat system overpowers the few features that define Kagachi's journey, what Oninaki promises is a thoughtful, expertly-crafted and gorgeously-animated story that will have you seeing it through to the end and into the Beyond.
From the Ashes is a brilliant game that takes what is good about Soulsborne and combines it with a satisfying co-op shooter.
RAD is a madcap rogue-like from the twisted minds over at Double Fine that more than lives up to its name.
Terrible balancing, repetitive gameplay, and a scarcity of content make Vicious Circle feel like a game that wasn't ready to be hatched.
Even if it may take you quicker than an afternoon nap to dust off, Darq is an experience that horror fans won't want to miss.
Ion Fury can be a fun time, but you will start to feel the age of the game design before long. Only for real nostalgia junkies.
Despite its faults, Bear With Me has a lot of charm and heart. It likely won't blow you away, but there is enough content with The Complete Collection to warrant your attention.
Resort Boss: Golf tees off well, but by the time it gets to the green it's a little under-par.
Damsel is a fast paced and stylish affair that keeps your heart racing with intense gameplay, despite some eventual repetitiveness.
Age of Wonders: Planetfall is a successful venture into the realm of sci-fi for this veteran 4X strategy series. Its greatest strengths are player choice, customization, variance and replayability, which all leads to meaningful tactical and strategic decision-making.
Metal Wolf Chaos XD isn't some grand revolution of the third person action genre. It's a 15 year old game where a president in a mech suit fights giant tanks, and that's fine by us.
When it works, Friday the 13th is a truly exciting bout of cat-and-mouse gameplay that offers plenty of thrills and tense moments, but technical issues, clunkiness and a laborious levelling grind can add up to frustration.
The Blackout Club is positively packed with pioneering mechanics and a unique setup that draws you in, but lets itself down with serious repetition and a grind that dissuades long-term play.
An intriguing set of mysteries wrapped up in a gorgeous aesthetic.
Even if its gunplay is fluid and its new protagonists offer a nice change of pace, Wolfenstein: Youngblood forgets what made the previous games so enthralling to chase trends that betray the Wolfenstein DNA to its own detriment.
Fantasy Strike's philosophy of a truly "accessible" fighting game is a successful one, with plenty to love for new fighting games players and veterans alike.
Technical and pacing issues aside, the writing of Night Call is what makes it such a fascinating and, at times, enthralling game. Sit back with a cup of coffee and become an unofficial therapist for a few hours with this dark descent into Paris.
