The name of this game leaves nothing to the imagination; it’s cars on ramps, jumping. Ramp Car Jumping really is a very basic game that’s fraught with issues, but it holds a glimmer of hope for our gaming friends who want to have a little fun being silly.

Big Ant Studios brings big tennis to the Switch. And by big, I mean you get to use avatars of big names like Federer, Nadal, and a few dozen others. You also get to make your own avatar so you can join the game (and get beaten badly by the pros). After that, it gets a little less inspiring.

It’s time to put on your bearskin cloak, sharpen your battle axe, and get ready to whack some skeleton soldiers—a whooooole lot of skeleton soldiers. Barbearian may look like an indie kiddie game with nothing to challenge or interest a serious gamer, but his is not the case.

Foregone is a basic, side-scrolling platformer that looks like the mid to late ’90s arcade games. I normally don’t get into the whole retro look, but the pixilation here is subtle enough to lend a classic game feel without looking clunky. It helps that the classic action is handled so well, too.

Great Conqueror: Rome provides a lot of value in gaming time, elements to control, and campaigns to fight. You also get some real history; enough to be interesting and support the game, but not so much that it turns into a history class. But is it fun to play?

The premise of the action/adventure game Kwaidan: Azuma Manor Story involves the classic hero-coming-of-age stuff, so we are off to a good start. Unfortunately, the journey is a bit clunky and fraught with issues from its dated gameplay.

Have you ever had the suspicious feeling your room has been bugged? It may not just be a conspiracy theory, it could be you are the bug. No, really; in Metamorphosis, you transform into a bug. Not the best start to your day, but it could be worse.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Where can I find an adventure game set in ancient India with a feisty heroine with magical weapons?” I know it happens to me every other week.  Luckily, we now have a solution to our problem via Raji: An Ancient Epic.

Faeria is a bit of a mélange of turn-based plus card play plus board game stuffs, all with nice artwork and a general feel that’s a bit reminiscent of Magic: The Gathering and Heroscape. It feels like a game you can play for the next few years and not get weary of it.

On your way down the dungeon dive, make sure you don’t get run over by any demons on the rise. Demon’s Rise – War for the Deep is a dungeon crawl RPG with lots of character and equipment options. Let’s take a look around the game world, shall we?

Have you ever had the feeling the whole world just got turned upside down? In Tower of Time, you don’t get a gravitational inversion for the whole planet (which is a good thing, by the way), but the tower you have to explore is actually upside down.

If you are very young and have a greater allowance of patience than average, you might have some fun with this game. If this doesn’t describe you, I would suggest finding another hill climber game if you really feel the need to drive up and down hills.

“Welcome to the jungle” sounds a bit harsh, and “a walk in the park” sounds too mild. What we really need is the happy middle ground for Potata: Fairy Flower, a new puzzle-platformer for Nintendo Switch.
