Whether I was figuring out how to complete each section or just honking endlessly at the poor residents, Untitled Goose Game was a truly memorable experience. It now has multiplayer DLC too! It's quite short, and the controls can be somewhat annoying - but the concept is too silly and funny to skip out on this one. Pray for a sequel!

Urban Flow is a simple concept: you control traffic lights and you're trying to avoid a crash. It's more fun than it sounds. The difficulty increases steadily but it never feels unfair. With 100 levels and some truly difficult DLC there's plenty on offer here. One criticism is that sometimes you need to press two buttons to change one light. In almost all cases this should be possible with one button. Still, it does mix it up a bit, and stops the game from being too easy. Worth picking up.

This is a very barebones title with a couple of gimmicks that completely mess up the brief thrill of playing slots. The health bar ruins the experience, turning a game already centred around luck into an extremely short and boring experience. Even a good win doesn't keep you going for very long. Moving reels around rarely gives you a win, and is a pointless inclusion. There's absolutely no point playing this. Avoid.

As the title suggests, this is not a long game. In fact, you can finish it comfortably inside a couple of hours. But don't let that put you off. A Short Hike is hugely entertaining and fun to play, and oozes charm throughout. Amusing dialogue, a beautiful art style, and a rare example of a game that is relaxing to play. Replayability is good too - you'll almost certainly miss things the first time around, and it's also a perfect game for speedrunning if that takes your fancy. Not to be missed.

Updating the classic Game Boy "Zelda IV" from 1993 was a great idea. The modernisation on the Switch looks, sounds and plays beautifully, although it stutters a little in places. The only major downside is that the game doesn't last very long. I went in knowing this, and still thoroughly enjoyed playing - but felt it would've been better as a £20 game than a £50 game.
