Less of a game, and more of an interactive story with some light platforming and exploring to tie it all together, Night In The Woods is one of the most rewarding experiences you can play on Nintendo Switch. A curio better played for yourself than described by us, it’s an indie title that will no doubt leave an impression with its enchanting soundtrack, disarming story and instantly identifiable character arcs. Strange and wonderful in equal measure.

En Palabras perdidas: Más allá de la página you play as a young girl exploring her imagination, using words and creativity in very literal ways to shape the world around you. There’s some scope for determining the story, demasiado, but the overall narrative is a huge strength beyond the beautiful visuals and gentle platform puzzling. It’s a pleasurable gaming experience also suited to less skilled players, demasiado, but it’s in the journey of our young protagonist — and the loss she must confront — that the true weight of this experience is to be found.

It’s a game with extraordinary use of sound, some undoubtedly dark and challenging storytelling, and emotional moments that’ll stay with you for a long time.

Florencia is an evocation of the beauty, sadness and hope that comes from any human connection we make in our lives, whether with art, nature or another person. It’s a succinct and incredibly successful exploration of moments you’ll recognise from your own life, and the way it mirrors thoughts and feelings through small gameplay mechanics makes it one of the most affecting experiences we’ve enjoyed on Switch, or any other platform.

A truly pleasant game, Spiritfarer balances undemanding platforming, gentle exploration and forgiving resource management with a beautifully-realised world with a cast full of charming, likeable, personajes memorables. It’s a pleasure to move around in with an evocative, endearing atmosphere and a succession of gameplay styles that gel superbly and never feel like padding.

It’s a short game but it manages to make its players directly confront uncomfortable situations and emotions with which we’ll all struggle at some point in our lives. Mental illness, death, angustia, tragedia… it’s all in here, and handled honestly within a brilliant narrative setup that allows us to watch a lifetime deconstructed, layer by layer, revealing the very human mistakes and unavoidable interruptions of fate that shape how our lives ultimately turn out. All in a matter of four or five hours.

Algunas personas se contentan con dejar que el caos gobierne sus vidas manages to do several things very well, todo al mismo tiempo. It’s a touching story told through interaction, it provides the creative play space of a great dollhouse game, and it deftly applies established game design ideas from completely different genres. Its only real shortcoming — though not all will see it that way — is the repetition that is a necessary byproduct of landing its message. Effort has gone into making the controls satisfying on Switch, and the visual and sound design are delightful throughout, making Unpacking, like any sane person’s cutlery, absolutely top-drawer.

Disco Elysium’s narrative and dialogue, which is already wonderfully compelling on its own, was given a massive boost thanks to the excellent voice acting introduced for the Final Cut. The gameplay features a host of branching paths for you to explore, and while the slow, methodical approach may turn a few people off, this is nevertheless one of the most well-told stories in cualquier medium from the last few years. With incredible writing that tackles the very core of human nature, Disco Elysium: El corte final is a triumph and stands as one of the best RPGs available on Switch.
