Fe is a visually beautiful game that also delivers atmospheric audio pieces, but that sadly does not fulfill the promises of a truly great 3D platformer.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a beautiful mess. Its world is gorgeous, but static; its role-playing mechanics deep, but its characters and story flawed, and the combat system is both fresh and clunky at the same time. What makes matters worse is the prevalence of technical errors and crashes, which makes me wonder how the game was allowed to be released in its current state.

After the wonderful I am Setsuna, Lost Sphear is a huge disappointment. Too many dull conversations, and not nearly enough action.

The Rise and Fall expansion is a welcome addition to Civilization VI. While the Loyalty, Ages and Alliance mechanics stand out as the best additions, the newly added governors seem somewhat lacking, and the AI needs more work in order to properly cope with the new Alliance and Emergency mechanics.

Fishing: Barents Sea is unfortunately somewhat boring. It manages to introduce an enjoyable progression system, where you get larger boats based on your actions, but the mechanics behind the fishing and tasks are nothing special.

Subnautica is a great survival game that is totally unique. Despite some small issues it captivates and ensures that the player has a need to explore its ocean.

Quotation forthcoming.

A timeless masterpiece that has gotten the respect and love it deserves in this new version.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is a literal blast to play. The game's visuals (the attention to detail, the amazing style and the colorful cast) are clearly it's most impressive feature, but the fighting itself is no slouch either. The experience could really do with a better and more interesting story mode, but nearly everything else in this game is superbly well made.

Monster Hunter: World throws you into a dangerous and beautiful world where lethal beasts lurk around every corner. Capcom has made many improvements that turn this into the best game in the series.

An excellent platform game with great mechanics that also offers a heavy story.

Quotation forthcoming.

Though roaming the game's beautiful open worlds is bound to amuse more or less anyone for a few hours, the Xenoblade games will mostly appeal to the kind of JRPG player who enjoys the genre for its challenge and complexity rather than stories. In this light Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is somewhat surpassed by its more ambitious and polished Wii U predecessor.

L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files has a few technical problems, and a rather empty world, but shines in it's detail oriented implementation of VR. Driving, the handling of weapons, fighting, and investigating seems immersive and satisfying.

Playerunknown's Battlegrounds is ultimately greatly entertaining, and offers adrenaline filled action of the best kind. Sure, the performance is still not perfect, and the developer need to work more on that, but seen as a whole the experience is fantastic.

Fallout 4 VR delivers a vast, living world, with a great atmosphere that was made for exploration in virtual reality. Some of the game mechanics like the menu system needs polishing, but Bethesda has given us a viable alternative to playing the game on a PC or console.

Finding Paradise is another well-told and profoundly meaningful story in the To The Moon saga. An amazing soundtrack, great artwork and clever, realistic writing all come together to bring this charming, touching and deeply human tale to life.

The Empire Divided campaign partially succeeds in being a fun new addition to the Total War universe, but it quickly becomes clear that the old shortcomings of the Rome 2 engine and a lack of great new mechanics, music and voice-overs make for an experience that feels older than it should.

With another deep expansion, the team at Paradox delivers yet again. It has never been more fun to play outside of Europe, with the Muslim factions gaining deeper mechanics and new ways to play. Even though the expansion does little outside of the Middle East, the new army professionalism mechanic and merchant options help to deliver an expansion that changes the game for every faction, regardless of religious affiliation.

Clunky controls and lack of free locomotion puts a serious dampener on this VR-port. Doom is appealing and entertaining in a new form, but id Software have taken some unfortunate shortcuts.

Even 20 years after its original release, there is still nothing quite like Outcast. I do prefer the HD version from a few years back, which has more distinct visuals and provides a smoother experience, but it hardly matters when you have a game with such a powerful vision.

L. A. Noire deserves a second look. The new version is mostly a couple of new text lines and camera angles, and the game still has the same flaws, but I enjoyed the journey anyway after not having touched it for six years.

Football Manager 2018 is still an engaging manager experience, but focus on realism over fun combined with a lack of innovation leave the game less interesting over time.

Need for Speed: Payback is a fun romp, but the micrtransactions are a bit on the invasive side.

Quotation forthcoming.

Some of the best combat encounters in the entire game takes place in The Frozen Wilds, making this expansion essential for all who are fond of the core game.

Call of Duty: WWII gives the impression of being prematurely published, and has a plethora of serious flaws. It’s return to the series roots is in setting only, and the game pales in comparison to the classics it draws inspiration from.

Quotation forthcoming.
