    Runner3 is a weird, funny game with lots of secrets. And some questionable new features and design choices.

    Detroit: Become Human is a great adventure with multiple choices, the highest peak in its genre. Great atmosphere and a story that is all in your hands.

    Conan Exiles brings you in a violent world, full of background stories and dangerous places, but still feels crippled due to technical flaws, despite the time passed in early access on Steam.

    State of Decay 2 is the classic "more of the same" sequel which, however, thanks to some interesting innovations and a deep game formula, does not disappoint.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A quick, fun game, with a lack of content, for now.

    Killing Floor: Incursion is the classic example of first-person shooter capable of exploiting virtual reality in a brilliant way and offering a gameplay that goes beyond the typical VR shooter.

    Dragon's Crown Pro is an essential game for those who have skipped the PS3/PSVita version, but also a great opportunity to replay on PS4 one of the best beat-em-up in recent years.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Nothing less than a masterpiece and the best Battletech game fans could hope for. Slow loading times and a lack of use for scout roles don't hamper the experience.

    Tropical Freeze is better than it has ever been on Switch. It still packs plenty of fun and good old platforming challenges, but it fails to surprise the player with new ideas or interesting twists.

    Don't Starve Mega Pack presents one of the most fascinating and punitive indie titles of the last years in a complete edition at an advantageous price. What more do you want?

    The Ultimate Edition of the real driving simulation for console now offers 178 cars and 33 tracks on 16 circuits... but still no shortcuts for arcade drivers and casual players.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A somehow limited in scope, yet interesting videogame which would please players who liked Pikmin and Overlord.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    God of War is a new beginning for Kratos, a different game, but still one of the best entries in the series and one of the best games of this generation.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While the premises were good enough, Extinction fails to take a few steps further. Every giant slayed in the game feels exactly the same as the one you met before - and there is not much else to do in the game.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An extremely entertaining product if you want to play it online, characterized by well designed factions. Just be aware that if you plan to play it in single player offline mode the lack of a campaign or story mode could severely impact interest and longevity.
    • 71 Metascore

    A different take on a beloved character, Detective Pikachu is clearly aimed at a very young audience with its interesting, funny story.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Sea of Thieves is a fascinating experience that is undermined by the lack of variety and player progression. A game that shines if played along with your buddies, but fails to engage the user if played without a group of friends.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Far Cry 5, following in the steps of the previous episodes, offers a very large map to explore and plenty of things to do, with a good first person shooter experience and interesting action/stealth possibilities. The game is not perfect in all of its aspects, but it's often very funny and always enjoyable, with a fascinating and unique antagonist.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It manages to tell an intense story and is able to create a meaningful link between the players and their characters.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Ni No Kuni II is a little too easy, risking capitulating for such a small but fundamental element. However, the heavy, intense experience offered by Level 5's is so powerful that it's impossible to get away from the TV. It's an internal contradiction, a compromise you have to descend by, to enjoy one of the most exciting videogame worlds ever made.

    This "Mike Bithell short" is an intriguing, little, adventure. Gameplay wise is as simple as efficient and is visually refined and well polished.
    • 71 Metascore

    Tesla vs Lovecraft is not even close to being a masterpiece, but it can offer a few hours of fun and relaxing moments to players who love the twin stick shooter genre.

    A very good remaster for an interesting Assassin's Creed chapter. Unfortunately, the game seems to be a little bit old today, especially after the Origins' revolution.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A gorgeous looking stealth with some RPG elements and too many mechanical simplifications. Worth a try, if you're searching for something simple.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    A good improvement over the first Vermintide and overall a very engaging multiplayer experience.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    AOT 2 is a considerable step forward compared to the previous episode, resulting in a game with epic and mature tones, that gives full merit to the work from which it is drawn.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Yakuza 6 does not invent anything new compared to the previous installments, and the lack of many iconic characters from the saga shouldn't be understimated, but despite this, the final chapter of Kazuma Kiryu's adventures remains one of the best Yakuza installments ever.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Surviving Mars is the best extra-terrestrial city builder currently on the market. Micromanagement-heavy and somewhat obscure, dedicated genre fans will nevertheless love it.

    Kirby Star Allies is a colorful, little adventure... that keeps doing what a number of other Kirby's colorful adventures have already done before.

    Q.U.B.E. 2 adds new layers of complexity to the successful basic structure of the first game, thanks to a well-written story and a convincing design.

    Burnout Paradise Remaster bring back Paradise City to the current gen with improved graphic. Even with ten years on his back the game is fresh like ten years ago.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Devil May Cry HD Collection is quite the same HD Collection we've already seen on PS3 and Xbox 360, with just 1080p instead of 720p (and without any support for PS4 Pro and Xbox One X - you get 4K resolution only on PC). Game menus and many cut-scenes are in SD and 4:3, hard to believe in 2018. But sadly true.
    • 64 Metascore

    Scribblenauts Showdown is a good solid party game, perfect for having a couple of fun hours. But it become repetitive very quickly.
    • 73 Metascore

    An interesting turn-based MOBA which, at the moment is lacking in terms of the amount of heroes and arenas.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Wizards uses the VR in a very satisfying way and it’s a "magic" shooter that does not give up a bit of exploration, narration and GdR elements.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Given the lack of a true competition in this area, currently Brass Tactics is simply the best strategic experience that can be tested in VR.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Bravo Team has many limits: it contains few good ideas and a lot of problems. A game with no personality.
    • 63 Metascore

    A good psychological thriller. Not a masterpiece, but one of best indie game for PlayStation VR.

    Moss is magic. It's an impressive game, not just for the excellent use of PlayStation VR, and at the same time it's the perfect way to spread what VR is capable of.

    Don't let the silly artwork and plot confuse you: Pit People is a solid and engaging strategy game, made better by The Behemoth's signature madness.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A good roguelite strategic game with focus on tactics and on the rise of the personal ability. Unfortunately there are same balancing problems, but nothing that could ruin the experience.

    Fear Effect Sedna brings back from the past the core elements of the series, with a nice story that manages to drag the player into it.

    Payday 2 still is a very solid and funny cooperative shooter even on Switch, despite the lack of some content (heists, masks) you can find in the PC version.

    Metal Gear Survive is a good survival game that need some balancing. An interesting spin-off with is own dignity.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Milestone's Gravel rocks. A solid arcade driving game which features mainly off-road races with a convincing sense of speed and a good variety of competitions, vehicles and tracks. Too bad for the thin longevity of its campaign and the complete lack of alternative single-player modes, which greatly reduce Gravel's specific weight.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    Past Cure is a mixture of good intentions: unfortunately, it ends up putting too much flesh on the fire, and attempting to keep together various playful and narrative elements, it fails to deepen anyone. The result is a dull, tedious experience, with unjustified difficulty peaks and terribly long, boring sections.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Remothered: Tormented Fathers is a wonderful single-player horror experience that any horror fan would enjoy, especially those out there mourning the lack of “real” survival horror games.
    • 64 Metascore

    A good tie-in of the original anime series, Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is a solid JRPG, a bit repetitive and with the difficulty not well balanced.
    • 80 Metascore

    Pac-Man CE2+ is a frantic experience that every good on-the-go gamer should have. But the new 2P mode could and should have been way better.

    Secret of Mana's remake doesn’t add as much as it could have and, if anything, removes some of the magic of the original.

    Two years after the release Layers of Fear remains even on Switch an excellent walking simulator in spite of limited longevity.
    • 63 Metascore

    Challenging enough, Pop-Up Pilgrims is a pleasant puzzle-platform with Lemmings in its DNA and a discretely exploited VR.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    The legendary RTS milestone comes back with a new look and an updated gameplay, but with some old mechanics and too much crashes, freezes and unstable frame rate, it can't be still a masterpiece.

    Fe
    Fe is a little, wonderful game in an unforgettable and colorful forest. Unfortunately, when speaking of controls and mechanics, something's not quite right.

    Bayonetta 2 is a beautiful sequel to one of the best stylish action game ever. If you haven't played it already, don't miss it on Nintendo Switch.

    Bayonetta is one of the best stylish action game ever, probably the best one. It's good to play it again on Nintendo Switch.

    A racing game that will surely satisfy the Supercross’ fans, even with some technicals and artistic flaws.
    • 76 Metascore

    Great story and medieval atmosphere, but with some technical problems, like low frame-rate, graphic pop-ups and improvable artificial intelligence.

    The Fall Part 2: Unbound picks up the formula of the predecessor and leads to a new and unsettling original adventure, but there is still some roughness yet to blunt.

    With Dynasty Warrior 9 Koei Tecmo makes a decisive turning point for the saga, and despite several structural flaws, the game turns out to be a solid framework for the upcoming episodes.

    Rise and Fall is one of the best expansions in the series and an absolute must for anybody who enjoyed Civ VI. The new systems keep the military players in check and give a more balanced and varied experience.

    EA UFC 3 offers a surprisingly deep experience with complex mechanics and many features for both single and multiplayer.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Under Night In-Birth Exe Night: Late[st] is a fighting game based on a solid gameplay and able to offer a great challenge. Despite the fact that it provides a good support to newcomers, the game only offers its best if you can fully master the intense and excited rhythms of the combat system. 2D graphic and the typical Japanese character design are an added value or a minor flaw, depending on your taste. In any case, we're facing a carefully, crafted game, which certainly deserves a chance if you're a fan of the genre.

    Iconoclasts is yet another proof of how independent software is taking up an increasingly important part of the gaming market. Made with an almost palpable devotion, Sandberg's game manages to stand out for its unexpectedly mature narrative and superb level design. A few too cryptic puzzles and the massive amount of text could frighten users looking for a "pure" metroidvania. This doesn't affect the personality of Iconoclasts, which reveals itself to be a truly, great game.

    Monster Hunter World is a game that requires some initial effort and the ability to endure what may seem like excessive complexity for a time. There is a very real possibility, however, that these efforts will be repaid with enormous satisfaction, and that the game will capture you and won't let you go.
    • 68 Metascore

    It's difficult to remain neutral in in the face of Dragon Ball FighterZ: if on the one hand we have a magnificent and stunning transposition of the anime - technically and artistically really out of parameter - on the other hand we see some imbalances in the roster and a gameplay very difficult to master. This does not deny the title a place of excellence in the beat-em-up Olympus, as well as an unmissable opportunity for all Dragon Ball fans.

    Mario Party: The Top 100 is a game made with great diligence. Its party game nature, however, fails to take off and express itself fully, especially if you've played a lot of the mini-games re-proposed. Although it's a sort of mecum vate of the Nintendo saga, the game is very derived and essential, slipping too soon into oblivion.

    A good Olympic expansion that makes the base game a bit more serious than in the past. Steep is now a one of the richest extreme sports games of the last decade, but be careful: the amount of content can overwhelm you!

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2 doesn't disappoint: endowed with a massive longevity, characterized by a living and fascinating world and blessed by a fabulous narration, the game is an unmissable JRPG.

    Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is a great app for every fan of the series, but also for those who never really appreciated this peculiar Japanese title. Despite keeping the general feeling of a classic Animal Crossing, it still lacks of some elements that make you experience that nice sensation of having your personal little peaceful and quiet world. The game is also penalised by slow loading times. I particularly appreciated the way microtransactions are managed, also because the game doesn't really make you wanna buy anything: waiting for things to reload is definitely not a big deal.

    A great Star Wars game that shines in multiplayer and feels good even in single-player, but that doesn't pay attention to users with its unpleasant business model.
