As promised, my over research on a $2 purchase (I ended up buying):

1. Syndrome
https://www.nintendo.com/us/store...me-switch/
https://www.metacritic.com/game/s...latform=pc
https://howlongtobeat.com/game/41504
https://gonintendo.com/contents/9...carily-bad

By the looks of it, this one looks the most entertaining; by the research this looks like the worst option. If there were updates to the game this might be entertaining; since nintendo doesn't have reviews I'm not sure what the status is.

2. Deflector
https://www.nintendo.com/us/store...or-switch/
https://www.metacritic.com/game/deflector/
https://howlongtobeat.com/game/112218
https://www.reddit.com/r/Switch/c...s_amazing/

I'm a fan of two stick shooters, and per reviews, I'm thinking this is the best option in the group. A lot of 'addictive!' feedback makes me think this is the value in the bundle.


3. Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron
https://www.nintendo.com/us/store...on-switch/
https://www.metacritic.com/game/w...-squadron/
https://howlongtobeat.com/game/91058
https://www.pockettactics.com/war...tch-review

Looks fun, reviews seem to suggest it is initially fun but repetitive. I'd put this in as a value if you are traveling and just want something you don't need story to follow.
Note: Panzer remake is also on sale ($2.49) https://www.nintendo.com/us/store...ke-switch/

Edit to add my review for Syndrome:
I tested this because it was huge (7.7GB and I only have 64GB mSD installed) and I had to see if the reviews were correct; the reviews were not, they somehow made this game better than it is. 0/10 IMO, practically unplayable. The menu freezes when you select options, there is nothing telling you what to do or where to go, no maps or directions. I made it to the 3rd objective (~"Leave the area") and still ran around trying to figure out where to leave and how far was the area before quitting and uninstalling. Don't even install this one, since these are all made by the same team I'm a bit scared to play the rest, but I have a long trip coming up so hopefully they are mildly entertaining compared to this garbage.

First thing I'd do is look at gameplay and read the negative reasons, spend a lot more time than $2 of my time is worth, then make an educated decision :p

Flying game like crimson skies, rouglite game and a 1st person survival games. Most reviews are like 6/7 out of 10. For $2, I bought.

Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron is a action/arcade flight game. Deflector is a twin-stick, bullet-hell, hack & slash action game. Syndrome is a first-person (shooter) survival horror game. They all look to be fairly mediocre. Dakka Squadron has quite noticeably downgraded visuals compared to PC. Haven't played any of them but at this price I suppose it could be worth it.
