This is one of those titles where I walked into the experience not really knowing much about it, being surprised by it being something quite different, and coming away very impressed...
Sporting a relatively simple premise with a weird twist on gravity shifting, in that there are spots where you will shift 90 degrees to walk on the walls as well, Gravity Duck is a decent but not amazing budget puzzler...
When a game starts up showing a warning that establishes it isn’t meant to hold your hand I’ll admit my “Ruh Roh Raggy” meter tends to go off the charts...
Contrasting pretty heavily with the likes of Milkmaid of the Milky Way from earlier in the list we have this entry in the Edna & Harvey series...
As a massive fan who has always loved the movie TRON you know that a game set inside a computer where you play a warrior of sorts who must overcome enemies and obstacles to succeed will get my attention...
Though I've always been a fan of the concept of asymmetric multiplayer games (a game where you're not playing with evenly-balanced sides, one side will be more powerful but less numerous) there's no denying they aren't for everyone...
Ever since Super Meat Boy hit the indie scene developers have been scrambling to recapture the addicting and aggravating qualities that can make almost constant failure and punishment engaging...
This may be about as niche a title as I've played on the Switch, and yet as someone who has assembled my own PC from scratch more than a few times, I'm happy to say that PC Building Simulator absolutely delivers the authentic goods...

Damn RPG lovers, the Switch has been a terrific return to Nintendo fully delivering a variety of options in this genre...
Classic arcade action fans who appreciate a game focused on chasing high scores will likely get a kick out of Pix the Cat...
I've been a fan of the space dogfighter/shooter genre since way back in the day when it was pretty well defined by the Wing Commander series...
In principle this should be a solid and entertaining game, combining twin-stick shooting with hack-and-slash combat as you work through waves of enemies and bosses...
Starting with the elevator pitch, a game mixing up a rhythm game with a beat-em-up, Terrorhythm had my interest...
This variant take on the classic arcade shooter ala Space Invaders and others keeps things pretty simple but as you progress manages to consistently change things up a bit...
One button action games always have a very mobile feel to them but Tap Skaters in particular feels like an experience far better suited to your phone or tablet than the dedicated Switch...
This is a title I initially checked out at PAX East and it made enough of an impression I was excited to get a chance to play more of it...
When you envision what a game that involves killing vampires and saving innocent humans would play out like you're probably figuring on something high on intensity and action...
The pitch of a side-scrolling adventure where you'll use elemental powers to combat evil is always a good start, but while The Forbidden Arts has some flourishes in places for the most part it unfortunately fizzles...
