    Etrian Odyssey V is a digital adventure that leans analogue, with pen-and-paper sensibilities that delight far more than they frustrate.

    The Jackbox Party Pack 4 is one of the better titles in the series that includes a game about dating monsters, as well as a few unfortunate bugs.

    I’m impressed at how well Fire Emblem blends into the Warriors style.

    Spelunker Party! Is a hardcore yet cute platformer that you can play in its entirety with up to four players locally or online. What a novelty.

    Yono and the Celestial Elephants is an adorable Zelda-like about a woke elephant doing his best to help people, zombies, and robots co-exist.

    Last Day of June wants you to feel a certain way, but the way it goes about it is clumsy and haphazard, and the visuals are unsettling.

    Gran Turismo Sport returns the Gran Turismo series to the Playstation 4, with fantastic graphics that push the boundaries for realistic driving simulation. However, this game feels thinner than its predecessors, with less of a focus on solo driving and campaign simulation. The gameplay is crisp and smooth, the menus are well built for the most part, but the lack of a polished campaign mode like what was found in prior releases reduces overall enjoyment for the player who isn’t intent on playing online in the official races each day.

    Who Needs You pulls out tedious nonsense and meaningless set pieces all to keep you away from Guardians of the Galaxy’s actual story.

    Easily the funniest videogame since Stick of Truth and sure to be the funniest until whenever the hell Trey Parker and Matt Stone decide to do this again.

    Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen gives players a realm of exciting grand battles against challenging enemies, but offers little narrative reason to make it appealing.

    The Evil Within 2 is horrifying delight, using a feeling of vulnerability to make players appreciate every moment they’re still alive.

    Monster Hunter Stories was a game I didn’t expect to enjoy so much. It managed to forge its own identity while retaining many of the beloved staples of the series. If a non-fan like me could find so much to like about this title, fans with prior knowledge of the series will definitely love it even more.

    Golf Story is another must play Switch exclusive for more than just golf or RPG fans.

    Fight’N Rage easily deserves a spot alongside Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, and Final Fight, offering extremely satisfying action, sharp foes, deep movesets, solid music, and delightful punches.

    The Lego Ninjago Movie Video Game continues the trend of bad games based on movies.

    Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for the Switch offers its own set of unique features, only available for the Nintendo Switch in order to make up for its lacking power.

    Gundam Versus is an addictive arcade multiplayer game that requires some TLC from Bandai Namco Entertainment to reach its full potential.

    While Superstar Saga may be a bit simplistic for more advanced players, its nostalgic appeal and overall fun is enough to justify its existence.

    Dropmix is fun and engaging, with the potential to grow into something that could revolutionize the music game genre.

    Forza Motorsport 7 is an exhilarating racing experience that is slightly bogged down by a convoluted and time-consuming progression system.

    Hob
    Hob is a beautiful but unoriginal Zelda-like that lacks an interesting story and has mind-numbingly dull combat and exploration.
    • 84 Metascore

    Project Cars 2 is an exquisite racing simulator that makes learning the game almost as much fun as winning a race. It demands perfection, refuses to ease up, and still manages to be friendly enough for newcomers.

    While the adventure is nothing worthwhile, One Piece: Unlimited World Deluxe Edition is a fun brawler for the Nintendo Switch.

    StudioMDHR transports players back into a 1930s cartoon with Cuphead, A stunning yet difficult title.

    Divinity Original Sin 2 is a master class in what RPGs should be. Amazing writing and detail paired with astounding freedom. A must play for RPG fans.

    I came into PES 2018 ready to be won over, and converted into a PES fan. Unfortunately, I came away being disappointed.

    A limp, repetitive gameplay loop and uncomfortable characterization rob Blue Reflection of the magic it tries so desperately to create.

    Ruiner is a dizzying affair in combat, offering tons of things for players to consider as music pounds their senses. However, a lack of weapon impact, fights that often feel too similar, and a lifeless world takes away from its appeal.

    Total War: Warhammer 2 is a fantastic love letter to both Warhammer fans and strategy game players alike.
