Never Breakup is a game for the Nintendo Switch that is meant to be played with another person sitting right there beside you. Given the pandemic, that wasn’t possible for our reviewer, and playing this one alone is a tough challenge.

We should talk is an adventure game where the player must construct texts in order to build love or lies with their girlfriend, and other folks lurking in a neon-drenched bar. The range of good and bad choices is pretty amusing, and the game features nine possible endings.

Timelie is a challenging puzzle game where you have to combine stealth, skill and one heck of a talented house cat to try and outsmart an evil army or murderous robots. But don’t worry, if you get caught, you can always rewind time and try again.

The wild west just got a little bit more deadly with Desperados III, a gorgeous small-scale tactical RTS that will challenge your motley crew of misfits to employ their unique skills while conquering seemingly impossible odds over an epic campaign.

Pirates Outlaws takes the much-loved pirate genre and creates a deck-building, competitive card game around it. Although it could do with a little more polish, Pirates Outlaws has more than enough swagger to make for a fun adventure.
