With last week having such big hits as “Super Mario Party,” this week has some much smaller indie titles that the Switch is great for.

Child of Light

Originally released four years ago, Ubisoft Montreal’s “Child of Light” makes its way to the Nintendo Switch. “Child of Light” is a beautiful metroid-vania with a fluent and graceful movement system that’ll have you wanting to play just to move around in the world. The game uses a turn-based combat system for boss fights that is easy to understand and will have you actively using different members of your party. Nintendo Life gave the game a great review for Switch, and you can check that out here.

The World Ends with You: Final Remix

This stylish game was originally released on the Nintendo DS back in 2007. If you’re wondering why you should play a game form 2007 in 2018 well that’s because this rhythm game’s controls have been re-worked to have joy-con support giving it a whole new way to play. The unique battle system will have you moving along to the Japanese rock, and pop soundtrack.

Tricky Towers

For fans of “Tetris,” “Tricky Towers” offers a whole new challenge. Instead of filling up the screen with falling pieces, you’ll want to stack them as high as you can. Of course this doesn’t sound like a very fun thing to do alone, so you’ll be compete with your friends to see who can build a stack the highest. Unfortunately, the games doesn’t support online multiplayer so you’ll have to play the old fashion way with your friends on the couch.

Mark of the Ninja: Remastered

If there was a theme for this week’s drop it’d be games with very distinct styles. “Mark of the Ninja: Remastered” is no exception. This beautifully animated 2D platformed will have you sneaking around as a masterful ninja taking out enemies in silence.

Goosebumps: The Game

Since this week is mostly indie games I thought it’d be fun to include “Goosebumps” into the spotlight. Well that, and the fact that I was intensely curious on what this game was. The game is lacking any reviews from any sites reputable enough to find through a google search. So, instead here is the description for the game:

“The walk home from school today is going to be a lot spookier than usual Your sleepy neighborhoods been overrun by monsters! Werewolves prowl the woods, Gnomes roam underfoot, and scarecrows walk at midnight. But these aren’t ordinary monstersthey’re R.L. Stine’s famous Goosebumps monsters, released from their books and looking to wreak havoc! You’ll need to use your wits to investigate the surroundings, puzzle out clues, and outsmart the monsters before it’s too late! Survive a trek through your neighborhood, unravel the mysteries of the Dead House, and sneak through the mall after hours; only then can you confront Slappy and stop his plans for revenge! Players beware you’re in for a scare in the exciting Goosebumps video game, a prequel to the major motion picture in theaters October 16th!

Basing information of the game trailer “Goosebumps: The Game” seems to be a point and click adventure that ties into the “Goosebumps” movie.
