Revealing too much about Teslagrad would ruin some of the fun of discovery and growth in it but suffice it to say that f...

The Legend of Tianding

While there have been quite a number of side-scrolling action/brawlers this year, for the most part they’ve bee...

Pepper Grinder

An absolute banger of a wildly different take on platforming, though if you’re challenge averse it may be overwhelming

Bleak Sword DX

Certainly not for those lacking in skill and patience, Bleak Sword DX distills the likes of Dark Souls into a lo-fi and brutal arcade-like action game

Gunbrella

There’s no doubt that it does some things differently, and there’s merit to that, but Gunbrella just falls short of next-level greatness

Kathy Rain: Director's Cut

While there have been a great number of LucasArts-esque point-and-click adventure titles on Switch, not all of them h...

A more foul-mouthed and oddball take on gameplay similar to The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

Ah, the classic arcade light gun genre, remembered fondly for how bonkers it could be and a bit less positively for how ...

Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure

I’m pretty much always a sucker for the classic noir detective style, and when a game instead chooses to skewer it a bit...

TOEM

I don’t know whether it was triggered by a pandemic that had everyone stuck in their houses and wishing for a chance to ...

Lamentum

I’m sad to say that more often than not, on the Switch, games pushing “horror” in some way have struggled and failed in ...

Spelunky

One of the last OG indie titles to finally come to Switch, Spelunky promptly gave me a nice slap in the face to remind m...

When it comes to shmups on Switch the tendency is to see either games that tap firmly into nostalgia, adopting classic l...

198X

As a child of the 70s and 80s who spent an enormous amount of time in the arcades there’s no doubt 198X was made for me....

Reigns: Game of Thrones

To the game’s credit there’s a ton of content to explore and digest and the fan service paid as a whole is commendable, ...

Cinders

Pretty well instantly upon finishing my initial version of this story I was compelled to start up and try another path a...

Airheart - Tales of broken Wings

This is a game that splices together twin-stick shooting, careful exploration, and crafting, but then throwing in roguel...

Downwell

If you’re looking for something that’s quick to pick up and put down (you know, a great mobile experience) Downwell is a...

Pic-a-Pix Pieces

Central to the experience are two elements. First, rather than being stuck with only filling in black pixels on a white ...

Stardust Galaxy Warriors: Stellar Climax

To think that when this title snuck onto the eShop I almost missed it. Since I'd not heard of it in advance of its relea...

FRAMED Collection

While its comic book-style presentation is clean and outstanding it’s the unusual gameplay in both Framed and its sequel...

The Adventure Pals

Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King

Perhaps a little less gaining inspiration from the classic top-down Zelda titles like Link to the Past than copying it o...

Cricket Through the Ages

Best played with a friend, this wonky sports action title is thoroughly odd and goes all in on its quirkiness

The Pale Beyond

While certainly quite text heavy, this sea-faring survival adventure sports strong character development and moral quandaries aplenty

Falling Out

While there’s no doubt that the gameplay is Spelunky-inspired, the option for co-op play and a slightly milder challenge help it shine

Silt

Too often in the indie space I’ve found that games that bill themselves as being horror in some way have genera...

Reigns: Beyond

A somewhat different and certainly more bizarre version of the Reigns formula awaits in the stars
