The first role-playing game that makes justice to its name by immersing you soul and body in a fantasy world that has never felt so real, though there are still so many technical steps ahead to go.

Despite some technical wrinkles, after six years L.A. Noire remains a great game, although we expected better as remastered operation.

A great addition that makes sense mostly if you plan to play on the go. If you think you'll play Skyrim mostly at home get it for a different platform.

Boring level design, inaccurate controls and a frustrating camera make Super Lucky's Tale a below average platform game.

Pokémon Ultrasun and Ultra Moon is an enhanced version of its predecessors and it keeps all of their quality. Unfortunately, there are few new and actually noteworthy features. Also, from a technical point of view, it still has some problems. Necrozma's story could have been managed much better: like this, it's almost a copy with a different ending of the one we saw in Sun and Moon.

Colorful and fun, Cat Quest is a simple action-RPG with a great heart. And lots of cats.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 has good graphics and a lot of Marvel characters to unlock, but it’s also a too slowly-paced game with some issues in its level design.

Old and new merge in Vaporum: the result is an engaging game able to satisfy basically everyone.

Kirby Battle Royale is a missed opportunity, too repetitive and short lived.

Elex is a raw diamond full of flaws but with too much value to consider it as an ugly and wrong game. Give it time, be patient and it will capture you.

Doom in this portable version is an experience to try at least once and to enjoy completely, despite some graphical limits and controls in need of careful calibration.

Unfortunately, all of its mechanics are shallow and mixed up... If you love the franchise, go back to playing Sonic Mania.

A step back that betrays the good gameplay of the series and the excellent achievements of the 2015 reboot.

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is a very good expansion to the core game, with a new region to explore, new quests, new activities and a new level cap to reach for Aloy.

Call of Duty WWII is a really neat package. The campaign, even if still too predictable, is powerful and enjoyable (while it lasts). Headquarters and War Mode give a new coat of paint to the PvP, and Nazi Zombies is a tough and deep experience.

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows will cause you to scream out of fear multiple times.

Nights of Azure 2 is an action-RPG with a good number of content, but despite a great artistic direction, it's technically underdeveloped and with a still too low level of difficulty.

There are so many new elements in Super Mario Odyssey, but in the end what actually strikes us is its ability to be fun in the usual elegant, essential and inevitable Mario way. If you want to run, jump, discover, fly… and keep on doing these (and more) things for hours and hours, Super Mario Odyssey is the game for you.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a great first person shooter that mainly focuses on plot, characters and gunplay. It's not perfect, but fans of the series will be pleased with what MachineGames has accomplished.

A new beginning for Assassin's Creed, with a lot of new elements. Not a perfect game, but a good open world with marvelous locations.

Spelunker Party! is a challenging, classic game, with a ton of levels and objects to customize our avatars. But it’s repetitive and some gameplay mechanics are overly punitive. We were expecting more from a new, payed, edition of its free-to-play brother, Spelunker World.

Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization is a good JRPG. It's made with diligence, dedicated to anime fans from which it's drawn, but also suitable for simple lovers of the genre.

Etrian Odyssey V is a remarkable return to the origins of the saga: a complete, finished, and extremely long-lasting game. Developers have blunted many of the gameplay elements, setting aside each side activity and minimizing narration. The reversal of the medal of this operation is in the mighty sense of having already seen it assaulting old-time fans.

With GT Sport, the Gran Turismo series steers towards eSports and accelerates its transition to multiplayer online gameplay only. The solidity of its racing rules & regulations and gaming netcode will be fundamental to its success.

Megaton Rainfall lasts only 2-3 hours and in VR mode the motion sickness can be overwhelming, but still it’s a very funny game in god-like style and the pace is simply wild.

Field of Glory 2 is for PC wargames what Destiny 2 is for online FPS.

Yuke's seems trapped in a Sharpshooter, that's the only way to explain this uninspired chapter in the series.

If you hate the musou games, Fire Emblem Warriors will hardly make you change your mind about the genre, but for everyone else it’s a strongly recommended game thanks to its tactical and strategic elements.

A sequel that every true South Park fan should play.

The Evil Within 2 is definitely one step ahead of its predecessor: a rich, deep and long-lived horror survival. The level of difficulty has been considerably softened. If this makes the title more accessible, on the other hand, it denies that authoritative uniqueness of the title that inspired it.

Do not expect hours and hours of gaming or a huge virtual immersion, but The Lost Bear is a very enjoyable puzzle-platform and VR is the classic icing on the cake.

A pretty good action-adventure, with a fantastic world design. The combat system is a little bit too simple, but the experience is really positive. Recommended.

A golf game with an interesting story and some good variations that keep changing the classic formula.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is a good sequel to Shadow of Mordor. Fortress sieges are a nice introduction, but in the long run things could get a little bit repetitive.

Gundam Versus has turned out to be a fairly acceptable game. The title points all on the amount of unlockable elements and the charisma of the Gundam universe.

SteamWorld Dig 2 retains the predecessor's success formula, expands it and makes it mature, especially in level design. In a nutshell, a great game.

Cuphead is a stunning game. And a cruel one. You have to find out if it's more entertaining or frustrating, and that's not an easy task.

The years have been kind to Superstar Saga, giving us a remarkable remake.

Fans of Dragon Ball can now play on the go with this good porting of Xenoverse 2.

Culdcept Revolt is undoubtedly an innovative game with remarkable ideas. It's a shame that the RNG factor has an excessive impact on the entire match.

Sparc is the classic VR game with brilliant ideas and a physical activity required by the player above the average. However, the contents are few.

What a fascinating game. Ruiner truly is something different. It's a pity that sometimes can be too harsh and that all of its side-missions seem just sketched.

A true masterpiece. It takes everything that made the first game great and then adds to it, making it even better.

Danganronpa V3 is more than a simple visual novel. It's a game that superbly outlined microcosm artfully prepared by the developers; the third episode of a mature and fascinating series, Able to dealing with strong themes and a great sense of irony. A small pearl that should push you to look prequel and play the whole saga.

Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul has some problems with the controls and doesn’t last long, but the atmosphere is great and all this is enough to make it an interesting horror game.

FIFA 18 is still a spectacular rendition of "the beautiful game", but also a step back in the series.

A worthy sequel, visually gorgeous and strategically engaging, that could have been even better if CA embraced a stronger drive to innovate.

An original and fun third person shooter with an art direction sharply above the average.

Probably the best sports game of the year and a great achievement for 2K and Visual Concepts. Brilliant.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a stand-alone DLC that slightly slows down the Dishonored 2 gaming formula with convincing and exciting results.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite offers a very good and funny gameplay, but the game lacks in contents, especially if compared to a lot of other beat'em ups you can play this year.

Part arcade and part simulation, WRC 7 is a good and enjoyable game. But the competition is still way better.

PES 2018 is almost a carbon copy of the 2017 edition... until the start of the match. Konami has improved the gameplay in every possible way. It's a pity that game modes and options at this point are more than dated.

NBA Live 18 has the main merit of overcoming the predecessor both in gameplay and controls, but it still lacks something to make it a top level title.

A funny and approachable fighting game that uses the Nintendo Switch portability perfectly. Perfect for local or online multiplayer matches, it features great technical improvements over its Wii U version, but lacks of interesting content when it comes to single player modes. The Deluxe version can be considered the definitive edition of Pokkén Tournament.

A new beginning and a giant step forward in the Destiny franchise. But will it be enough for the high-demanding community?

The ultimate driving experience for the true racing and car lovers. Unmissable even on consoles.

Hard, stylish and high in replayability. Too bad for the occasional slowdowns in an otherwise excellent shooter.

One of the best platform games of the last years presented in an exceptional Nintendo Switch “suit”.

Even if the exploration has been slightly dumbed down, Samus Returns is a great and engrossing game.

Absolver presents itself as a very interesting hybrid: a fighting game inserted in an online context and a decadent, fascinating open world. Unfortunately, several lag problems undermine overall quality: patches are coming out to solve the problem, but the feeling of being in front of a still "rough" code is always very strong.

Warriors All Stars is definitely a game for fans of Koei Tecmo and musou games, filled with many interesting character interactions. Sadly, even with a nice battle system, it just feels average.

Solid combat mechanics, but a little too light on content to justify full price.

Madden NFL 18's gameplay is a small step forward for the series. It's a good football game, but not a masterpiece.

A good family platform that, thanks to its budget price and a bit of kindness from the user, can succeed to close the games’ eye looking to the many flaws.

More content, similar limitations, a weird art style and laggy netcode for a sequel best player in local multiplayer.

On PS4 Pro RedOut is a great, rich and frantic racing game. On the other hand, on a standard PS4 or on Xbox One there are some annoying frame rate issues.

An old-school expansion pack, improving the game all-around in ways no simple DLC could have achieved. XCOM 2 was great to begin with, and the new content brings it straight to the Olympus of turn-based strategy games.

This new edition of Resident Evil: Revelations, even if without unpublished contents, demonstrates once again the beauty of the original game.

Featuring an undeniable retro charm, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana certainly doesn't stand out for the graphics. On the other hand, the gameplay is fun, frenetic and framed by a pleasing and multifaceted narrative. A title strongly recommended to old-school RPG action fans.

A little piece of art full of potential that slips over its conclusion.

A good golf game that takes its attitude to the aesthetics and functional customization as its mantra.

Simply put: one of the best games available today on Nintendo Switch.

Expect fewer contents and less physical interaction than other FPS in VR, but besides these flaws Hangry Bunnies From Mars knows how to entertain with the little it offers.

Despite the obvious efforts to maintain the technical sector and the disturbing atmosphere at times, White Day: Labyrinth Named School is an anachronistic, awkward title that comes out on PS4 out of time and shows a lot of years on its shoulders. The Korean title fails to thrill.

A great and fun racing game that perfectly represents the emotions and the strategy of the Formula 1’s competitions.

Ironcast is a smart and funny game that perfectly fit the Nintendo Switch library. Its roguelike mechanics, otherwise, are a bit dull.

Dark, violent, visionary. Observer's cyberpunk universe hits hard despite some too long and boring mind trips.

Some signs of aging are inevitable considering we're 12 years from the original game, but nowadays few remakes are as well done as Yakuza Kiwami.

The first episode of the Layton saga on mobile presents as main character the amateur detective young daughter of the famous professor. Could it be that the tone of the story and the puzzles are too much aligned with her immature age?

StarCraft Remastered is the old StarCraft with a new coat of paint. This is what the fans wanted, this is what Blizzard delivered. The core gameplay remains insanely good, but a lot of mechanics and UI limitations show the age of the game, especially if compared to StarCraft II.

A pocket-format but delicious Uncharted, with two very well written characters in a wisely-paced story full of all the main series' best features.

Matterfall has a variety of pleasant gameplay ideas and a good technical side, even if it remains a platform-shooter with no great inspiration.

A refined, fun and surprising spin-off that you don’t have to miss.

A fantastic entry and a long awaited proper comeback for Sonic. The new levels are fresh and full of ideas and the tuning in the "old" levels is nothing short of amazing. A must for all the 2D Sonic fans.

A great competitive FPS with a fair and tempting price-tag.

Dino Frontier sinks in longevity and in strategic/management depth, but if you're looking for a truly immersive and approachable VR game you've found it.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a deep, fascinating game, however, which precedes the narrative component to the gameplay: the important thing is to know what you are buying.

A solid extended version of a very good shooter in which you can complete levels manipulating time.

Do you already miss the beautiful Thimblewed Park but are you looking for a more relaxing and less challenging graphic adventure? You've found it.

Fullbright brings a fascinating hypotetical future, featuring eight characters and making them all interesting in a short time.
