Faces of Illusion: The Twin Phantoms (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: Artifex Mundi What I Paid: $2.19 Verdict: Not Shovelware. Game-Breaking Bug. What I Say: On the face of it, this is simply another Artifex Mundi Hidden Object game.

Clunky Hero (Nintendo Switch)
Publisher: chaosmonger studio What I Paid: $5.74 Verdict: Not Shovelware. Game Breaking Bug. What I Say: Third wall breaking humour, sarcasm, wit, and poking fun at your own genre are all very well, but Clunky Hero mostly falls flat with its attempts. The grammar implies that English isn’t the first language of the developer here…
