If you grew up on the era of chunky polygons, dust clouds that looked like beige confetti, and co‑drivers who sounded like they were shouting instructions through a walkie‑talkie taped to a blender, # DRIVE Rally is absolutely trying to speak your language. It’s a retro‑arcade rally racer that wants to whisk you straight back to the Sega Rally / Colin McRae days, big drifts, bigger personality, and a whole lot of loose‑surface swagger. On Nintendo Switch, that ambition mostly

A visual novel about the last flickers of human connection shouldn’t feel this intimate, but Schrödinger’s Call leans into its premise with a kind of quiet bravery. On Switch, it becomes an even more personal experience: a game you can hold close, play in bed, and let its soft, aching atmosphere settle around you. This isn’t a story about saving the world. It’s about listening to people who no longer have one. Schrödinger’s Call begins at the end of everything. The world is c

Dave has finally left the Blue Hole behind and somehow ended up in a DLC that feels suspiciously like a sequel wearing a $9.99 price tag. In the Jungle isn’t a small add‑on or a themed side dish; it’s a full‑course expansion that reshapes how you explore, how you cook, how you fight, and even how you move around the world. It’s bigger, stranger, warmer, and occasionally weirder than anything Mintrocket has done with the game so far. And yes, it’s still very, very Dave. The se

River City Saga: Journey to the West is one of those cross‑genre mashups that sounds like a fever dream on paper but somehow lands with a goofy, earnest charm. It’s Kunio‑kun meets Journey to the West, a side‑scrolling brawler retelling one of the most important works of Chinese literature through the lens of a series best known for punching delinquents so hard they explode into coins. And honestly? That’s the magic. This Switch version delivers exactly what you expect from a

The Gobliiins Collection on Nintendo Switch isn’t just a retro bundle, it’s a full archival resurrection of one of the most eccentric, imaginative, and defiantly weird point‑and‑click series ever created. Across five games spanning more than three decades, the collection charts the evolution of Pierre Gilhodes’ goblin‑filled universe with a level of care and completeness that feels closer to a museum exhibit than a simple re‑release. It’s a celebration of chaos, cartoon logic

Perfect Tides: Station to Station is one of those rare narrative games that doesn’t just tell a coming‑of‑age story. Set in 2003 and following 18‑year‑old Mara Whitefish through her freshman year of college, the game captures the messy, exhilarating, painful, and transformative process of becoming a person with a clarity that feels almost unnervingly real. On Nintendo Switch, that intimacy translates beautifully. The handheld format makes Mara’s world feel even closer, like y

Digital Eclipse and Atari today announced Barbie™ Rewind, a game that intertwines a brand-new Barbie DreamHouse™ design game with 16 classic Barbie games from the Y2K era. Barbie™ Rewind will launch later this year on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. A Standard edition physical version will release for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, and Deluxe Physical Edition will release for Nintendo Switch. Pre-Order Ba

LumenTale: Memories of Trey arrives with the unmistakable energy of a passion project—one built by a team that clearly adores the monster‑collecting genre but isn’t content to simply echo its giants. Set in the richly imagined world of Talea, the game follows Trey, an amnesiac protagonist whose lost memories become the emotional backbone of a journey that blends political tension, ancient history, and the mysterious emotional energy known as Anivis. Talea itself is a standout

Reptilian Rising is what happens when a Saturday‑morning cartoon, a tabletop skirmish game, and a stack of time‑travel pulp novels all get thrown into a blender set to “chaos.” It’s a turn‑based tactical roguelite where humanity’s last hope isn’t elite soldiers or futuristic tech, it’s a ragtag squad of historical icons yanked out of their timelines and dropped into a war against an interdimensional reptile empire. It’s knowingly absurd, proudly retro, and surprisingly strate

Tsukuyomi is a strange, compelling, and often conflicted creation, a roguelike deckbuilder wrapped in the aesthetic legacy of one of Japan’s most influential demon artists. It’s a game that constantly pulls you between fascination and frustration, between the allure of Kaneko’s mythic worldbuilding and the lingering seams of its mobile‑game origins. On Nintendo Switch, that tension becomes the heart of the experience: a tower‑climbing ritual that’s equal parts atmospheric, ad

Food Truck Chef – Full Course Edition is the kind of game that feels like it should come bundled with a sticky apron and a playlist of chaotic kitchen clatters. It’s a bright, bubbly, hyper‑casual cooking sim where you bounce between themed food trucks, juggling orders, upgrading gear, and trying not to set your imaginary customers on fire. On Switch, it lands as a snackable, low‑pressure time‑killer, though one that occasionally shows its mobile roots a little too clearly. T

Monster Crown: Sin Eater doesn’t ease you into its world so much as shove you into the deep end of a nation already cracking under the weight of its own history. From the opening moments, it’s clear this isn’t a cosy monster‑tamer with bright colours and cheerful mentors. Crown Nation is a place defined by fear, political decay, and the lingering shadow of ancient powers that were never meant to be disturbed. The Switch version captures this atmosphere with surprising confide

Nine Sols arrives on Nintendo Switch as one of the most striking 2D action games in recent memory as a fusion of Taoist cyberpunk, hand‑drawn animation, and Sekiro‑inspired deflection combat that demands your full attention from the first encounter. It’s a game built on rhythm and pressure, where every clash feels like a duel and every mistake is punished with absolute confidence. What makes it stand out isn’t just the difficulty, but the way it pairs that intensity with a wo

If you grew up feeding coins into Konami cabinets like the X‑Men six‑player monster, Turtles in Time, The Simpsons, then Marvel: Cosmic Invasion feels like someone finally cracked open a time capsule and rebuilt that era with modern tools. Tribute Games clearly knows the DNA of those classics, and on Switch, Cosmic Invasion plays like a love letter to that whole lineage: loud, colourful, chaotic, and absolutely drenched in comic‑book energy. What immediately grabbed me was ho

Gecko Gods is a gentle puzzle‑platformer built around curiosity, movement, and atmosphere. On Nintendo Switch, it becomes an especially cozy handheld experience, it's the kind of game you sink into on a quiet evening, letting its warm palette and soft soundtrack wash over you. It’s not a game of big twists or high difficulty; it’s a game about wandering, climbing, and uncovering the remnants of a forgotten civilisation at your own pace. The story is intentionally minimalist,

Cladun X3 is a game that feels like it was built for players who love to tinker. On the surface, it presents itself as a simple, pixel‑art action RPG, a throwback to an era of handheld dungeon crawlers and quickfire loops. But beneath that modest exterior lies a surprisingly intricate web of systems, builds, and optimisation paths that reward the kind of player who enjoys squeezing every last percentage point out of a character sheet. It’s a game that doesn’t try to seduce yo

Launceston-based Smash Attack Aus and USA publishing platform indie.io have announced their sci-fi drone 2D platformer Nullstar: Solus is out now on PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S. Nullstar: Solus is a precision platformer where speed is of the essence, as your drone races down into forgotten, overgrown chambers and corridors, facing ancient dangers and forgotten hazards in its quest for the most powerful energy source in existence. The g

There’s a moment early in GRIDbeat! where the game stops feeling like a rhythm title and starts feeling like a pressure cooker. You’re standing in a neon corridor inside Knoss.OS, a corporate mainframe that looks like someone weaponised a synthwave album cover and the beat pulses once, twice, three times. You move. The world moves. The system reacts. And suddenly you realise: this isn’t a music game with dungeon elements. It’s a dungeon crawler that breathes rhythm. GRIDbeat!

Hidden Around the World on Nintendo Switch 2 is a cosy, globe‑trotting hidden‑object adventure that thrives on charm, colour, and the simple pleasure of scanning a bustling scene for tiny treasures. It’s a game that wants to whisk you through a series of illustrated cities, each one packed with characters, props, animals, and visual jokes. The Switch 2’s sharper resolution and improved colour depth give the artwork a crispness that suits the genre beautifully, making each loc

A surreal, musical, frog‑powered adventure that’s equal parts strategy game, theatre production, and heartfelt coming‑of‑age tale. Bonnie Bear Saves Frogtime is one of those rare indie games that feels like it wandered in from a parallel universe, a place where community theatre, children’s storybooks, and turn‑based strategy collided and decided to form a band. From the moment Bonnie descends from the night sky into a world buzzing with eccentric characters, musical interlud
