So Much Stuff Collector’s Edition (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: Ocean Media What I Paid: $4.50 Verdict: Not Shovelware. 100%ed it. What I Say: Ocean Media publish a ton of games in this genre, some with storylines and some without.

Beauties Unveiled (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: Somequest What I Paid: $3.00 + $1.50 + $1.50 including all the DLC Verdict: Not Shovelware. 100%ed it (why?). What I Say: I’ve played a small number of “hentai” games on the Switch. Mostly they are trivial games, the rewards of which are inevitably pictures of improbably proportioned women. Beauties Unveiled makes you work…

A Fold Apart (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: Lightning Rod Games What I Paid: $6.74 Verdict: Not Shovelware. 100%ed it. What I Say: This puzzle game’s conceit is to “fold” your screen in such a way that the protagonist can get to their objective. Perhaps there is a gap in a path – simply “fold” the screen to get rid of the…

Publisher: GAME NACIONAL What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Not Shovelware but not a very good game. 100%ed it nonetheless. What I Say: Derivative and uninspiring platformer. A very poor man’s Mario.

My Name is Mayo (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: Green Lava Studios What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Not Shovelware. 100%ed it. What I Say: In short: tap B on a jar of mayo 10,000 times. That’s it.

.hack//G.U. Last Recode (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment What I Paid: $34.95 Verdict: Not Shovelware. More than 100 hours. 100%ed it. What I Say: I broke my rule of never buying games unless they are 75% off or more for this game. I’d experienced the first title (Rebirth) on the PS/3 and was keen to complete the story. The…

Alien Engine (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: RandomSpin Games What I Paid: $1.50 Verdict: Shovelware What I Say: This is an incremental clicker game where you gradually build up an alien structure by simply clicking ‘A’. Clicking builds up cash for upgrades, including faster cash increments. Fairly soon into the game, you can purchase an automatic clicker and then after that…
