It’s the kind of game that makes us sigh with happiness when we recall our time with it, and even having played it through to its ostensible conclusion multiple times, we know for a fact there are still things to see and do on that mountain.<\/p>\n It’s something of an apotheosis \u2013 a milestone in indie games akin to Cave Story<\/a> or Spelunky<\/a>. The very best bits of multiple game genres, stripped of all padding and bloat, mixed perfectly into a delicious video game stew that only gets richer the more you play.<\/p>\n An exploration in every sense of the word, A Short Hike is cute without being twee, challenging without being obnoxious, and emotional without being cloying. A landmark game for all ages. Don’t miss this one. Publisher: 505 Games<\/strong> \/ Developer: Giant Squid<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 29th Nov 2018 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 29th Nov 2018 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a33.74 (-75%)<\/strong><\/p>\n Abz\u00fb<\/a> is certainly a standout release on the eShop, offering up an experience that breaks from the norm of goal-based gaming in favour of something that\u2019s more focused on simply existing in a world and enjoying all its little intricacies.<\/p>\n Those of you who appreciate casual adventures like taking a walk in a forest will be sure to enjoy what Abz\u00fb has to offer, as the dreamlike visuals, entrancing orchestral score, and deliberately sedate pace do a fantastic job of drawing the player into this alien world. Abz\u00fb isn’t a game about winning, but about the journey (no pun intended) you take getting there. Publisher: Bandai Namco<\/strong> \/ Developer: Project Aces<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 11th Jul 2024 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 11th Jul 2024 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a324.99 (-50%)<\/strong><\/p>\n Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown<\/a> is the absolute pinnacle of the series and despite coming to Switch over five years after other platforms, this ‘impossible’ Switch conversion does very little to degrade the experience. Long-time franchise players and military aviation enthusiasts will be overwhelmed by the fan service at every turn, from craters on the ground to airplanes, liveries, callsigns, and emblems shouting out to previous entries.<\/p>\n We understand the genre is uniquely niche, but if this is your first foray into the franchise, this conversion is a perfect gateway into this rich, revered series. You get tons of content and an epic single-player campaign wrapped up in triple-A presentation that delivers the most comprehensive portable experience ever from Project Aces. Publisher: Spike Chunsoft US<\/strong> \/ Developer: Spike Chunsoft<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 24th Jun 2022 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 8th Jul 2022 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a38.74 (-75%)<\/strong><\/p>\n AI: The Somnium Files \u2013 nirvanA Initiative<\/a> is one of the most interesting visual novels we\u2019ve played through in a while. The murder mystery at its heart is brought to life by some great writing and quirky characters alongside the satisfyingly integrated, beautifully balanced Psync puzzle elements.<\/p>\n Even with some minor control issues, there is a lot to love in this game even if you never picked up the original. Highly recommended if you’re even a little bit curious. Publisher: SEGA<\/strong> \/ Developer: Creative Assembly<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 5th Dec 2019 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 5th Dec 2019 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a39.99 (-23%)<\/strong><\/p>\n Alien: Isolation<\/a> is a survival horror masterpiece and straight-up one of the very best horror video games ever released.<\/p>\n It’s a nerve-wracking affair \u2014 a slow, methodical game of cat and mouse against a brilliantly clever recreation of one of cinema’s most infamous killers \u2014 but if you’re up to the task you’ll find one of the most satisfying gameplay experiences in the genre; a brilliant and beautiful homage to one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time.<\/p>\n Feral Interactive has done a stellar job with this Switch port and the excellent motion controls and inclusion of all previously-released DLC only go to sweeten the deal. This is essential stuff for survival horror fans. Publisher: Top Hat Studios<\/strong> \/ Developer: Casper Croes<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 6th Feb 2024 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 6th Feb 2024 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a311.32 (-30%)<\/strong><\/p>\n Alisa Developer’s Cut<\/a> is an excellent homage to classic survival horror that can easily stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Resident Evil<\/a> and Alone in the Dark<\/strong>. From the tank controls to the cheesy voiceover work, it nails almost every aspect, providing an experience that feels like it was ripped straight from the ’90s.<\/p>\n Its overall appeal will likely be limited to those who are intimately familiar with survival horror, but if that’s you, then strap yourself in for one of the best examples of the genre to date. Publisher: Devolver Digital<\/strong> \/ Developer: Gabe Cuzzillo<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 28th Feb 2019 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 28th Feb 2019 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a31.88 (-86%)<\/strong><\/p>\n The Nintendo eShop would be a considerably more exciting and interesting place if it were packed full of games like Ape Out<\/a>. It\u2019s a refreshingly original experience that more than deserves a place in any Switch owner\u2019s library.<\/p>\n Difficult, frenetic gameplay, strong art direction, and an even stronger jazz drum soundtrack make this the sort of memorable game that you\u2019ll likely keep coming back to over and over for another few runs in arcade mode. Ape Out gets a strong recommendation to anyone looking for a distinct and unforgettable game for their Switch collection; it\u2019s a bit of an acquired taste, but well worth your time. Publisher: MP2 Games<\/strong> \/ Developer: Hibernian Workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 14th Nov 2023 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 14th Nov 2023 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a310.49 (-50%)<\/strong><\/p>\n Astral Ascent<\/a> is a prime example of a game that amounts to more than the sum of its parts. Its strong character design, hi-bit visuals, tight combat, memorable bosses, and broad build variety have all featured in games you\u2019ve probably played before\u2014there\u2019s nothing \u2018new\u2019 here.<\/p>\n But to write it off as just ‘another one of those’ in a crowded genre would be to miss out on one of the most delightful and surprising releases of 2023. Astral Ascent is comfortably one of the best roguelites available on the Switch. Don’t miss it. Publisher: Thomas Happ Games<\/strong> \/ Developer: Thomas Happ Games<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 11th Aug 2021 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 11th Aug 2021 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a38.09 (-50%)<\/strong><\/p>\n Axiom Verge is a remarkably tough act to follow, but Thomas Happ managed to do it again in producing a pitch-perfect, excellently paced Metroidvania adventure<\/p>\n Axiom Verge 2<\/a> perfectly balances familiar elements that made the original great and trying out new ideas that give the sequel its own identity, and while lovers of the first game may take some time to adjust, everything comes together and makes for a potent experience that no fan of the genre will want to miss out on.<\/p>\n The mysterious atmosphere, thrilling pace, and fantastic world design all come together to make for a worthy follow-up that stands well on its own.<\/p>\n (pssst, the first game is also on sale too for \u00a33.74, and we gave that one a 10\/10)<\/p>\n Publisher: Raw Fury<\/strong> \/ Developer: Plausible Concept<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 20th Aug 2018 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 20th Aug 2018 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a32.69 (-80%)<\/strong><\/p>\n A slice of Viking strategic combat right out of the heart of Scandinavia\u2019s indie development scene, Bad North<\/a> was at the vanguard of a wave of smart yet intrinsically accessible real-time strategy titles.<\/p>\n Swedish developer Plausible Concept calls it \u2018micro-strategy\u2019 and it’s the perfect encapsulation of a minimalist approach that covers everything from unit management to the Monument Valley<\/strong>-style isometric art style.<\/p>\n With enough enemy variance to convince you you\u2019re playing an interactive episode of the Vikings<\/strong> TV show, this endlessly entertaining sea of bitesize battles will teach you to fear \u2014 and love \u2014 the sound of the oncoming horde. Publisher: PlayStack<\/strong> \/ Developer: LocalThunk<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 20th Feb 2024 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 20th Feb 2024 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a311.51 (-10%)<\/strong><\/p>\n Balatro<\/a> is a roguelike for gamers who don’t like roguelikes… and then everybody else on top of that. It utterly nails what it sets out to do, providing an instantly accessible, satisfying, and addictive gameplay loop that anybody can grasp.<\/p>\n It’s an immensely enjoyable experience from the start, but as you get deeper in, there’s really nothing else quite like it. Utterly sublime. Publisher: 2K Games<\/strong> \/ Developer: 2K Games<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 29th May 2020 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 29th May 2020 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a37.99 (-80%)<\/strong><\/p>\n BioShock: The Collection<\/a> combines three excellent, iconic games and all their DLC into one convincing package. Stable performance, engrossing narratives, fun gameplay, and lots of content make this one an easy recommendation, even if these releases show their age from time to time.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for a series of strong single-player shooters to pick up for your Switch, it\u2019s tough to go wrong here. Publisher: Team17<\/strong> \/ Developer: The Game Kitchen<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 10th Sep 2019 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 10th Sep 2019 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a34.99 (-75%)<\/strong><\/p>\n Blasphemous<\/a> is a beautifully crafted Soulslike\/Metroidvania action game set in a delightfully unhinged, deliriously gory world filled with well-designed enemies, satisfyingly meaty combat and some truly memorable and grotesque boss battles. Platforming sections are uniformly well-crafted and the whole thing comes together to create one of the most visually arresting and solidly enjoyable action titles currently available on Switch.<\/p>\n Spanish developer The Game Kitchen created a nightmare world in Cvstodia, one that will truly test your combat and platforming skills and leave you begging for more come that final bloody battle. Publisher: The Arcade Crew<\/strong> \/ Developer: JoyMasher<\/strong><\/p>\n Release Date: 11th Jul 2019 (USA)<\/strong> \/ 11th Jul 2019 (UK\/EU)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a33.82 (-75%)<\/strong><\/p>\n For those longing for a time when side-scrolling shooters ruled the roost, Blazing Chrome<\/a><\/strong> is exactly what you’re looking for.
