Seafrog is the kind of indie gem that dares to do something different, and totally sticks the landing (and the trick combo). With smooth gameplay, charming presentation, and a clever mash-up of genres, it’s a sea-soaked adventure that feels fresh at every turn. If you’ve got a love for platformers, skating games, or just weird and wonderful premises, then this frog’s for you. Strap in, hold your wrench tight, and get ready to grind the high seas in style.
Rusty Rabbit is a thoroughly enjoyable mech-hopping adventure. It blends quirky humour, heartfelt storytelling, and satisfying action in a way few games dare to. Yes, the cutscenes can break the pacing, and the Switch version isn’t flawless, but the charm and originality more than make up for it. If you’re looking for something that feels different, something that proves middle-aged rabbits (and gamers) still have plenty of kick left in them, this is one worth digging up. A free demo is also available on the eShop.
Polterguys: Possession Party is the type of party game that manages to feel fresh, funny, and frantic without relying on several mini-games. It’s a decent shake-up of the genre with enough originality to keep players coming back. It may have a limited scope solo. But multiplayer, whether you’re partying online or yelling at your sister for turning into a portal and ditching you to the monster, this one’s a hauntingly good time. A free demo is also available on Steam.
Skies Above is another strong showing from publisher Flynn’s Arcade, and perhaps one of their most refined yet. They sure know how to pick their developers. It blends arcade-style immediacy with roguelike depth, all wrapped in a charming and heartfelt package. You’ll come for the satisfying aerial combat, but you’ll stay because you want to protect your flying space whale. Ideal for short sessions but loaded with enough progression to keep you playing for the long haul, Skies Above is absolutely worth your time, especially if you’re a fan of quick-fire roguelikes with a unique twist.
Hidden Cat Outlaws is a nice addition to the hidden cats genre. It doesn’t bring anything new to the table, but still, it’s engaging enough to kill some time finding cats.
The Electrifying Incident: A Monster-Mini Expedition may not be a full meal, but it’s a delicious snack of a game for fans of A Monster’s Expedition. Anyone who’s a fan of block puzzles, slidey or otherwise, or who can think spatially are going to get a kick out of this little charmer. Light on story but full of this adorable little goon with his grabby toy and his PPE-approved vest, it’s the video game equivalent of a short story you’ll be thinking about for days afterward.
Tales of Autumn is a really well-balanced farming and ranching simulation with the added interest of creating biomes and befriending wildlife. The NPCs have great characters and humorous dialogue. There are lots of interactive festivals, cut scenes and quests, all of which make Autumn a vibrant and exciting place to call home. Overall, Tales of Autumn is a fantastic game, but the controls on the Nintendo Switch just took away some of my enjoyment.
Wind Story has a great description, but sadly, it doesn’t live up to that in any way. This should have gone into Early Access for a much lower price. As it is now, I have no other option but to give a negative verdict.
Star Overdrive is one of those games that might fly under the radar but deserves a second look from anyone who loves exploration-focused games with strong traversal mechanics. Its combat is light, and some systems (like crafting) could use more clarity, but these are small blemishes in what is otherwise a smooth, satisfying ride. It won’t appeal to every type of gamer, and those looking for fast-paced action or tightly directed stories might find it too laid-back. However, for players who love open-world discovery and creative movement, there’s a lot to love here. The hoverboard alone is worth the price of admission. If you want a taste a free demo is available on the eShop.
Game Over – A Musical RPG?? is not your average indie game. It’s strange, soulful, and stuffed with personality. With its unique blend of rhythm combat, moral choice, and off-kilter humour, it’s bound to become a cult favourite among fans of unconventional RPGs. If you’re into games that play with genre expectations and don’t mind a little weirdness along the way, give it a shot. Even if it’s not your thing, it’s one ride you won’t forget.
Overall, I think Pilo and the Holobook is a great little game. It’s polished, it’s cute, and it’s pretty chill to play. With a hint system, I think it would be the perfect game for kids and families and everyone who like wholesome, fun games with simple interactions.
Sports: Renovations doesn’t try to reinvent the simulation genre, but it absolutely refines it. The game’s strength lies in its simplicity and charm. It respects your time, keeps the experience light and stress-free, and adds just enough story and personality to give your work a sense of purpose. Whether you’re knocking down walls or polishing basketball court floors, there’s something undeniably therapeutic about the process. If you’ve enjoyed titles like PowerWash Simulator or House Flipper, then Sports: Renovations is worth adding to your digital toolbox. It’s the kind of game that lets you zone out, unwind, and still feel productive, even if you’re just organizing virtual gym mats and wiping up virtual sweat.
I would recommend Battlefield Waltz, if only for the world-building. That is where the game truly shines, but I wish they had done more in the story with the Cursed Sword. Overall, I did have fun playing the game.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is bold, ambitious, and one of the most immersive open-world RPGs on the Switch. It’s not perfect; the story takes a while to get going, and some systems can feel overwhelming at first, but the sheer freedom and scale more than makeup for it. If you love exploring alien worlds, building up a squad of oddballs, and fighting massive creatures with mechs, you’re going to have a blast here. And if you missed it on Wii U, this Switch version is, without question, the best way to play.
The Art of Flight injects the arcade shooter with some fresh, chaotic fun. Controlling multiple ships at once is a clever gimmick that offers both challenge and satisfaction, especially when you manage to fill your screen with a small fleet of death machines. The strategic elements slow things down a bit, which won’t be for everyone, but they do give the game a layer of depth. It’s not the most visually stunning or aurally thrilling space shooter out there, but it delivers where it counts: fun, frantic gameplay, and great couch co-op. If you’re looking for a short-burst shooter to dip into solo or with friends, this is definitely worth a flight.
Tiny Garden ticks all the boxes for me. Gardening in miniature surroundings, approaching it like a casual game with strategic planning to unlock all plant seeds, types of soil and decoration options. It’s very cute, the decorations are just like in a doll’s house, and the added letters tell a good story. Though I like my Steam Deck, I’m always more at home with my Nintendo Switch for handheld gaming. So when I review a game on Steam Deck, I ask myself: would I double-dip if it were released on the Switch? The answer here is a firm yes, so for me, Tiny Garden gets our highest rating.
Mewseum: Masterpieces is a charming and tranquil puzzle game designed for players seeking a relaxing experience. The gameplay invites you to solve a variety of visually engaging puzzles that showcase artistic masterpieces. While the game may not introduce revolutionary mechanics, its serene atmosphere and delightful visuals make it an enjoyable choice for short bursts of gameplay. Each puzzle offers a satisfying challenge that is perfect for unwinding and taking a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Dice ‘n Goblins is a delightful dungeon crawler that welcomes both newcomers and seasoned players alike. While veterans of the genre might find it on the easier side, most players will be captivated by its charming art, engaging dice-based combat, and accessible mechanics. If you’ve ever been curious about dungeon crawlers but found them too intimidating, this is the perfect game to start with. It’s proof that rolling the dice can be both fun and strategic. Highly recommended! If you want to try first, a free demo is available on Steam.
Bubumbu is a sweet, perfect little game. I wish it were longer, but I think it’s a great little puzzle game for kids and families to play together. I have almost nothing to complain about; I think this is a fantastic example of smart, fun, and funny kids’ media that has a lot of love and effort poured into every nook and cranny. My hat is off to you, developers!
Dungeons of Hinterberg is one of the best games I’ve played recently. I was surprised that it isn’t that well known among players because it’s definitely worth it. Despite the combat element of the gameplay, it is a very cozy and relaxing game. It can be well adapted to the tastes of various players – whether you prefer combat mechanics or just hanging out with friends in a cozy alpine village.
