Cutting through this Nintendo-crazy day, it's about time to look at the wonderful new games we get to dig our claws into this week and there's certainly a lot to choose from.

Disc Drivin' 2
  • Publisher: Pixelocity Software
  • Platform: iOS
  • Price: F2P

Yes, the turn-based swiping racer is back with a vengeance as you try to flick your disc around the track as fast as possible. Careful though, there're a lot of obstacles to get around and one wrong move could see you flying through the air... and off the course.

Magic Golf

Nintendo Switch

Her Majesty's SPIFFING
  • Publisher: Billy Goat
  • Platform: Switch
  • Price: £9.99

Running at about four hours long and riddled with rather British, tongue-in-cheek humour, this point-and-click puzzler has you travelling through the cosmos in search of a new Galactic British Empire to govern. Though, you'll also experience a witty script stuffed with cultural and current references, unapologetic satire, and more.

Night in the Woods
  • Publisher: Finji
  • Platform: Switch
  • Price: £17.09

Follow college dropout Mae Borowski as she returns to her home of Possum Springs and tries to figure out what her next move is. Her friends may still be around but nobody ever stays the same, and if you think there's nothing lurking in the woods, well, you'd be a fool.

SteamWorld Dig

  • Platform: Switch
  • Price: £8.99

Hop in the shoes of Rusty in this Metroidvania-like platformer and dig your way through the earth, gathering riches, helping townsfolk, and potentially saving the world while you're at it.
