    Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions
    The one thing that Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions nails is its balance between not only being a worthy tribute to its source material, but a competent and fun game. As someone who isn’t a fan of sports titles, I never would’ve believed that I could have as much fun as I did with this game or that I’d become so interested in checking out the Captain Tsubasa series. I already feel like I’ve become a fan of the series and now that I’ve played Rise of the New Champions, I would love to see other sports anime titles get similar treatment in the future.

    Mirror's Edge Catalyst
    Mirror’s Edge Catalyst represents a compromised vision. It’s one part exhilarating first-person platformer, one part bland open-world title. In a year crowded with great releases, not to mention last year’s Dying Light representing a much better open-world parkour experience, that’s a vision many people won’t want to put their money on the line for.

    Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
    A convoluted story and ugly visuals, each of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD's flaws are only made worse by bringing them to bigger screens.

    Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star
    While it isn’t the worst, I wouldn’t suggest that anyone plays Fate/Extella unless they’re starving for more time with the Fate universe.

    Slave Zero X
    Slave Zero X is a solid hack-and-slash and is an easy recommendation to fans of the genre.

    Star Fox Zero
    Star Fox Zero is the most fun I’ve had with any Wii U game to date. The title more than makes up for Fox McCloud’s conspicuous absence for a decade and proves just what a uniquely satisfying gaming experience the gamepad offers when treated as an asset by game designers, rather than a bulky requirement to work with Nintendo’s mascots. It’s beautiful, challenging, deep, addictive, and plays unlike any other space shoot em’ up I’ve ever experienced.

    Jurassic World Evolution
    In its current state Jurassic World Evolution is entertaining, but barebones as a business sim. Where Frontier really got things right was the dinosaurs themselves, they are simply the best versions of these prehistoric creatures in video games to date.

    Earth Atlantis
    Earth Atlantis innovates by bringing in ideas from the metroidvania genre to its shoot’em up shell, creating an experience that is unlike any other.

    MADiSON
    Unfortunately, the scariest thing about MADiSON on the Nintendo Switch is its poor performance which mars an otherwise adequate port of a solid horror title.

    Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed
    Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is a fun experience for friends packed with nostalgia in the form of iconic characters and imagery and its fair share of easter eggs, but there is concern that love for the game could flame out faster than if you crossed the streams. If you are a fan of the franchise, though, it brings just enough joy to make it worth the price tag no matter what.

    Cobalt
    What we have here is a charming little action game with a lot of detail—not every detail matters, but there's solid effort put into making the machine work.

    Knack 2
    Knack 2 isn't the game of the year we have been waiting for, instead it's just more Knack. Who asked for this?

    Oninaki
    Oninaki has some good ideas, but they’re overshadowed by a weak story and tedious combat.

    Sea of Thieves
    Sea of Thieves feels like a game that should be offered for $10–$20 tops as an early access or game preview product. There just isn't enough content or depth here, its core gameplay is grinding repetitive fetch quests and not a whole lot else, the progression here just isn't fulfilling, and fun factor depends on who you're playing with.

    Raji: An Ancient Epic
    Nodding Head Games’ Raji: An Ancient Epic tells an interesting story but is simply not functional enough to enjoy.

    The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - A New Frontier Episode 3: Above the Law
    By the end, I was just making whatever contradicting choices I could, mostly in a bid to cause drama because I care so little for the characters and the events of their story (with the exception of Clementine of course). Everything feels so rushed (I actually timed it this time, it takes one solid hour to clear this episode), each episode ends in disappointing abruption rather than an intriguing cliffhanger and none of it feels genuine. By this point, I honestly don’t think episode four or five will redeem this season for me.

    Aftercharge
    Aftercharge truly has the potential to be “the next big thing”, with all fundamentals of what makes a shooter great, but in its early days its clear there is still polish that could done to the overall experience.

    Cat Cafe Manager
    Cat Cafe Manager plays into its quirkiness and cuteness bringing a fun, fast-paced sim that you can jump into on the Nintendo Switch or PC.

    Mad Max
    Avalanche Studios have managed to create a game that is true to its inspiration, while offering all the hallmarks of a AAA game.

    Hey! Pikmin
    Hey! Pikmin forces the series into something it’s not, resulting in a barebones platformer with Pikmin on the cover.

    Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
    A good revitalization for the franchise and one that packs enough charm to forgive its faults.

    Resident Evil 0: HD Remaster
    The weakest of the original less action-oriented run of games in the series, and the characters and locations aren’t all that interesting or unique. If you’re not a die-hard fan of the series willing to force yourself through the nightmare that is the horrid inventory system, I’d say avoid this one like a rotting corpse.

    Farming Simulator 17
    I’m still kind of confused regarding how I feel about this game, but I can’t stop playing.

    WrestleQuest
    WrestleQuest is an easy recommendation to any professional wrestling fan, or RPG fan, and may be the champion of bridges between the two.

    Arslan: The Warriors of Legend
    For fans of the manga, anime series, or of the Dynasty Warriors franchise, this game is an absolute winner.

    Super Galaxy Squadron EX
    A colourful vertical bullet hell that coasts along until finale where the difficulty spikes abruptly. Some decent ideas can be found here, but overall an average experience.

    .hack//G.U. Last Recode
    .hack//G.U. Last Recode is a fascinating novelty, but makes a better impression as a time capsule than a compelling video game in 2017.

    Final Vendetta
    Final Vendetta is a love letter to the late 80’s and early 90’s era of arcade and home console brawlers that fans of Final Fight, Streets of Rage 2 and SNK’s Neo-Geo console, will immediately appreciate, though the high level of difficulty, lack of continues and no online play might make it a hard sell to newcomers.

    Eldegarde
    Eldegarde has an interesting idea with its MMORPG styled Extraction game, but is a bit too mundane to stay with for too long.

    LEGO Worlds
    You won’t build all that much in the initial hours of LEGO Worlds.
