    MachineGames does it again - The New Order was terrific, and The New Colossus is pretty much the same level. The new Wolfenstein appeared in 2014 out of nowhere and became one of the best shooters ever. The sequel is very similar even though the "wow factor" isn't as evident. It is a joy to play such a big and well-made game that focuses only on single player. Bravo!

    Nintendo has once again redefined the platformer genre. Well known solutions have been perfected and the entire game is well designed and has a soul. Super Mario Odyssey is a game aware of its heritage and at the same time it proves that a good idea never gets old. A true masterpiece.

    Despite some hard-to-miss flaws, Assassin's Creed: Origins makes one hell of an impression. The game is such a big leap from AC Syndicate, the same way ACII was an improvement when compared to the first game. Fans of the Assassin universe simply need to play this game. Ubisoft proves that they still have something interesting to say in their biggest franchise.

    Elex is not an accessible game and doesn't make a great first impression but it deserves more than one chance. Fans of Piranha Games should prepare themselves for more of what they love (but they must accept a strange fantasy & sci-fi mix). The final grade could have been higher if it weren't for too many technical issues.

    Battle Chasers is a game full of attractions that will last for more than 40 hours of fun. It's not important whether you noticed Joe Madureira's new game because of its jRPG heritage, its connection to a series of comic books or its extremely pretty graphics. All these reasons are good, because the game is good. Very good.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War is a sequel perfect for the fans of the original game and fans of repetitive gameplay. They'll love this game but they won't be surprised at all. The combat system is really cool, the story is okay (albeit too long) but all in all Monolith took a step back as if afraid to do something new.

    There is no revolution in the gameplay but modern FIFA never needed one. This year's edition has a slower game pace, improved player positioning and more focus on individual player stats. Thanks to all that FIFA 18 is more tactical but as entertaining as ever.

    Divinity: Original Sin II is like a fine wine. It demands patience, a proper attitude and some taste. If you're willing to spend time and really sink into the story you'll have one of the best RPG experiences in recent years. Original Sin II offers true role playing - ways to develop your character and his/her story are numerous. Great RPG.

    Total War: Warhammer II is a really well made sequel. It improves lots of tiny gameplay elements and, as a result, there is more fun to be had and you can really feel the strategic & tactical elements. Great map, cool world and quite a complex storyline make you forget about some inevitable simplifications.

    The new edition of PES does not offer a revolution. But you need to remember that Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 doesn't need one - it's a great sporting game that just got a little better. Ball control improvement and additions in Master League are welcome, but the small number of licenses is not (as usual). But all in all it's still a very good game.

    Project CARS 2 is like a trip to the most beautiful place that becomes more and more tiring. There is no prettier game, and driving along well known circuits with engine noise as background music is great. But all the essence - driving physics, overtaking, dealing with car trouble - is much better in F1 2017. I'm waiting for fixes.

    With this expansion Arkane Studios matched the quality level of the regular installments of the Dishonored series (and that really is something!). All fans of Dishonored 1 & 2 simply have to experience Death of the Outsider. Everyone else should do the same but only after finishing the previous games. It's worth it.

    Destiny 2 is more of the same. A little prettier, a little more interesting, a little easier. After playing for dozens of hours I know I'll spend much more time with Destiny 2. There is no better game about shooting aliens that is so much fun. And looking at the first game and its evolution over the years it's hard not to wonder - what kind of game D2 will be in the future? A great one, I'm sure.

    The best part of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is its gameplay design. Exploring various worlds is pleasant and thanks to smart location of gold coins you can't get lost. The combat is simple but there are new mechanisms and character introduced every now and then so it doesn't become boring. My encounter with Mario and the Rabbids lasted for more than a dozen of hours and it was really fun.

    War of the Chosen is a massive expansion that adds lots of new things. Most of the focus on the most important thing in any turn-based tactical strategy game - gameplay mechanics. The game has lots of solutions introduced in previous expansions but the key was to make the game even more enjoyable. It worked - XCOM 2 with War of the Chosen is one of the best tactical strategies.

    Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is breathtaking. It's the real thing - a big old-school expansion that sometimes is even slightly better than Uncharted 4. The visuals are perfect, the shooting and stealth mechanics are almost as good, and there are many more puzzles than there is fighting. All of this is worthy of a blockbuster movie. Awesome!

    Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a beautiful and unusual game for a very select audience. If you want to rest from various open worlds and focus on a very personal and linear story with tons of cool little details, this is something for you. I don't think there ever has been a game that displayed the madness of a troubled mind in such a way. Hellblade is a great single-player adventure.

    If you don't have mad skills or lots of patience, keep away from Redeemer. But if you like bloody gameplay with a really high difficulty level - remember this one.

    Master X Master introduces a cool variety into the genre ruled by League of Legends and Dota 2. MXM adds parts of other types of games and the result is a "2 in 1" kind of situation. But all in all, none of the pieces are as good as what the best in the business have to offer.

    Aven Colony is a well made city-building strategy game. Well-known solutions were improved and the end result makes you play for hours at a time.

    Splatoon 2 is a game for the players who want truly colorful Nintendo fun. It may look small, poor and less intelligent that all the big online shooters, but getting to know this game can be a really good idea. Splatoon 2 is child-like but the playability is off the charts.

    Serial Cleaner's highlights are: a terrific 70's atmosphere, an original theme, cool graphics and music. However, when you take a closer look, it turns out to be not original enough - it's simply a well made game with some issues that don't spoil all the fun. Fans of not-so-obvious stealth games should be pleased.

    Rise of the Necromancer is a pricey enterprise but the return of a beloved class can't be treated as a flaw, especially when that return is really well done. The 2.6.0 patch itself deserves praise as well - new locations, Challenge Rifts and an excuse to complete the campaign one more time are clear signs of a reanimation well done.

    Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood is one of the best expansions in the history of MMORPGs. It turns FFXIV's storyline upside down, introduces cool new classes and has an amazing soundtrack. It won't appeal to people who don't like FFXIV, but the fans should be in awe. It has everything they like, but it's bigger and better.

    Micro Machines was supposed to return in a blaze of glory and remind everyone why arcade racers from the past were so cool. As it turns out, the game blindly follows modern trends that don't suit it at all. World Tour has too little content and too much chaos, with boredom creeping in way too soon. Pretty graphics and decent driving model don't help. Too bad.

    Get Even is an interesting hybrid - you'll find pieces of a walking simulator, a stealth game, a shooter, a puzzle adventure and a really well written thriller. Not only the story is pretty exceptional - so are the audio and music. The overall quality is good enough to prevent mediocre graphics and some level cloning from having fun. Good job.

    I really wanted my favorite beat'em up series to reclaim the throne. Unfortunately, right now Tekken 7 hasn't got enough content and polish to do so (plus the competition - Injustice 2 - is fierce!). The fighting system is still superb but the entire game looks outdated. The story mode is poor, the online modes are now a a joke and there are some things missing as compared to the previous games.

    The developer clearly didn't want to enable too many people to conquer space. The Long Journey Home is a game for few.

    The Walking Dead: A New Frontier has a good opening and it introduces a new protagonist in a cool way.

    Rime doesn't introduce new quality in the business of interactive storytelling but borrows good things from the best.

    Steel Division: Normandy 44 stole dozens of hours from my life and this trend will continue. It's a pretty good strategy game. The entry threshold is high, difficulty level is even higher and all these frustrations... But you forget about all that because online matches are so damn exciting that you want to play another and another, and another! Eugen Systems succeeded in creating a very good tactical RTS aimed at online gampelay.

    Inner Chains is scary but not due to its atmosphere. Underneath a beautiful, haunting world hides a boring, simple shooter. Everything looks good at first glance but the devil is in the details.

    It's a pity that a quarter of the time I spent with The Surge was far from enjoyable, because the game itself is pretty good. When level design isn't your worst enemy, this game checks all the boxes required by the Dark Souls fans and expands on a well known gameplay mechanic with an interesting setting and some new additions. It's worth it but be very patient.

    The new Prey isn't the old Prey. It's something completely new aimed at fans of "atmospherical exploration" in the vein of BioShock and System Shock.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is a monster of a game. As in, it's been stitched together from parts of different games.

    If I were to treat Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition as a completely new game I'd be really happy, and the final rating would be pretty high. But when looking at Full Clip Edition as a remaster without taking the game's quality into view, it looks like a classic money grab with one redeeming feature - no more Games for Windows. So the final rating should be placed somewhere between these two opinions.

    Yooka-Laylee doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. It's an extremely classic 3D platformer yanked out from the Nintendo 64 glory days and as such it doesn't quite fit into today's standards. But it's not a bad game - despite an old soul, Yooka-Laylee can provide lots and lots of fun.

    It's hard to deny Sanctus Reach a certain aura, peculiar to clashes of miniature figurines on meticulously assembled tabletop battlefields. So, if you feel like devoting your life to the Emperor and have no buddies who'd fancy a tabletop session, or you're just not interested in collecting figurines, you should definitely give Sanctus Reach a try. Just remember--it's for hardcore strategy fans only.

    Resident Evil VII is an amazingly done return of the famous series. The change of perspective is like a breath of fresh air, the story is engaging and interesting, the atmosphere is superb and everything runs smoothly. The 11 hours we spend on the Baker farm prove that Capcom is in great shape. A few months ago I wouldn't have chosen RE7 as a game of the year contender, but now I'm not so sure.

    Yakuza 0 is not for everybody but it the perfect game to introduce you to this series. Over the years lots of unique elements became better and better and Y0 is a prequel - that means an easier transition. There are some technical issues, and some cut-scenes could be shorter but overall this crazy, colorful adventure is worth your time.

    The official launch of War Thunder reminded me why I like this game so much. It's adorably chaotic - in contrast to the reliably designed World of Tanks. That's why it can be really fun and frustrating at the same time. There's tons of great vehicles (and the planes are superb!) and a difficult simulation mode, but there are also balance and technical issues.

    Gravity Rush 2 is a great sandbox. It's a game set in a unique universe with a very cool girl hero. This world contains tons of fun side-quests that often distract you from the main storyline. GR2 is a true gem among all there boring open worlds made from a template. It deserves your attention.

    Super Mario Run is a very good mobile game without microtransactions or annoying ads, which turns out to be short. Is it worth a fairly large amout of money for just a few hours of fun? If you like platformers, the answer is simple: yes! And I'm thrilled about it.

    Space Hulk: Deathwing shouldn't have been released just yet. There was a chance for an excellent game with heavy atmosphere and a great gameplay model. Unfortunately, right now this product looks unfinished and instead of a recommendation you get a warning: there are some serious technical issues and doubtful solutions there. You should check Deathwing out but not yet - wait for the patches.

    Telltale's Batman is quite an attempt at refreshing this sub-genre - I had fun and was surprised a couple of times. Unfortunately, the thing that was lacking were strong emotions. Also, the technical side leaves a lot to be desired. This Batman has everything in the right places but that doesn't translate into something truly inspired.

    Dear fans of winter sports and speeding down a slope. Steep is a weak game that isn't worth your attention. The graphics are ugly, the technical side leaves a lot to be desired and the big open world is boring. Sure, it's not the worst game about skiing and snowboarding, but that's hardly a quote the developers want on the box, right?

    The fifteenth part of the Final fantasy saga marks the long awaited return of the series to the group of the best RPG games. Here you'll find all the things you love about FF and even more. The developers have created a world that will keep you engaged for many hours and the stories of all the characters will stay with you long after the end credits roll. Sure, there are some minor issues, but they won't make me love this game any less.

    The magic is back in the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2. Vive la France! has some visual flaws and a mediocre traffic system but is definitely worth its price tag. We get many new locations, thousands of kilometers of roads, new suppliers, new merchandise and some really pretty French countryside views. Apparently ETS2 is going to live a very long and successful life.

    The Dwarves is a really uneven RPG. It has some original ingredients and can be quite fun but sooner or later the joy is destroyed by weak combat and an empty world. And even if you become fond of the story or characters, ultimately you'll be disappointed by the short time needed to finish the game.

    Highly anticipated The Last Guardian is finally here and its technical condition is so poor that I will not be surprised if someone decides to ask for a refund. Still, after a dozen hours I'm certain that my time spent with Trico was truly moving and really unique. There were moments of true agony (in terms of smoothness of gameplay and other technical aspects) but I'm willing to pay such a price for a beautiful story and an experience unlike any other.

    Don't dismiss the Hawaiian atmosphere and old gameplay core right off the bat. Pokémon Sun has some cool improvements and is diverse enough to make it feel almost as good as legendary Pokémon X, Y or Black and White. Fans of the series don't need convincing but everyone else should give the new Pokémon game a chance - Sun is made for playing.

    Silence is an enchanting tale that will make you cry and laugh with its excellent atmosphere, storyline and graphics. Even though everything looks and feels great, the difficulty level is very low and there are no demanding puzzles. You need to ask yourself what kind of gamer you are and what you find most important.

    Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection is a remaster that wasn't treated with true care and attention. The games themselves are still great and this package should be recommended to fans who need to own all the boxes with AC logo, or to those few people who don't know this great story. The graphics are nicer but there's no 60 fps, old technical issues are still present and there is almost no additional content.

    Planet Coaster is a game that not only matches classic tycoon games in quality - it surpasses them in many ways. If you have a designer's soul or a crazy architect's touch and like to create beautiful, detailed amusement parks, you couldn't have found a better game. Planet Coaster really is one of the best. It would be perfect if only it had a better, more complicated economy mechanism.

    Transport Fever is a game with lots of strong features - it has a great array of well made vehicles, the single-player campaign is interesting and the joy of creating a complex transport organism is great. Then why almost every part of the game had to be burdened with issues of different kind and magnitude? It's a cool game that never lives up to its potential.

    Dishonored 2 is a well made but safe sequel. You won't find a revolution here only minor improvements to well known mechanics. Of course there are some new things but most of them will be appreciated only by true veterans of the previous game. Fortunately, Arkane's new game surprised me more than once and all in all left a very good impression. But it could have been so much more.

    Tyranny is a game of many contrasts and will stir come controversy. On one hand w have an impression that every dialogue counts and we're always deep inside the main quest (even though we're doing something else). On the other hand there are many gameplay solutions that look like torn out from a much more complex game and they don't get to shine. The beginning is superb - later the game loses some of its appeal.

    Batman: Arkham VR is an interesting and well made adventure. The whole thing may be too short and suffers from some technical issues but getting to know this story directly from Batman's perspective is an extraordinary feeling. We may know the mechanics and atmosphere but the VR really makes it worth your while.
