    Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon is not a bad game by any means, and those that skipped on Sun and Moon should definitely give it a try. However, it doesn’t have anything ultra surprising in store for its players.

    Since many of the course layouts have become more difficult, mastering this year’s iteration of WRC will take quite some time. As long as you become able to carefully listen and react to the navi’s instructions, the most exhilarating rally race experience available is yours.

    Steam World Dig 2 is one of the very best side-scrolling games on the Nintendo Switch, and it is the perfect game to play in between the system’s masterpieces.

    The city of Neo San Francisco in 2064 feels like a future directly connected to the world we live in today. As always, there are plenty of social issues, yet of course, there is also always hope.

    Kirby Battle Royale is an extremely simple party game. It shouldn’t be full-priced, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad.

    A loving tribute to robots. Though its presentation might be simple, the campaign is extremely rewarding. As you improve, the high-speed action gets even faster. If you are into robots or are just looking for a good action game, look no further.

    Bringing a Dead Space-style SF horror atmosphere to a Dark Souls-inspired action game makes things interesting, and the speedy battle system, which includes cutting off body parts and crafting elements, is a success. However, the somewhat dull pace of the game results in the player dying a bit too often, leaving plenty of room for improvement when it comes to the game’s overall balance.

    While it may have the Fire Emblem name in its title, the character roster leans a lot towards more recent entries of the franchise, and since the story lacks any significant depth, it is not for all Fire Emblem fans. However, the polished system does a good job at combining action and strategy elements, resulting in a game true to the Warriors series.

    Trying to follow the success of The Fast and The Furious is a welcome new approach for the series, but it fails to deliver. An underdeveloped story and repetitive gameplay result in a game that could have used some more polish.

    If you enjoyed the original game, you will have a lot of fun with Snipperclips Plus - Cut it out, together! It doesn't go beyond expectations, but succeeds in delivering that same type of pure joy that made Snipperclips great in the first place.

    The fun driving mechanics and astounding graphics show a lot of potential, but due to missing online features and a lack of volume this game is still very much a diamond in the rough.

    This Taiwanese indie title is so much more than just another horror game. It takes on ambitious themes in a rich point and click adventure.The creepy artwork and soundtrack will feel divine and beautiful once you reach the end of the game.

    Exploring the game's main town, which is full of monsters, new weapons and items, is a blast. New discoveries will immerse you into the gameplay, and make you forget about that daughter you have to save.

    It is easy to tell that the developers studied the history of the genre through and through, delivering a stellar run and gun experience brought to life with unique old fashioned cartoon graphics. It may have it flaws, but when a game is this appealing it is easy to forgive.

    While it has its flaws, LOST SPHEAR succeeds in restoring our memory of classic JRPGs, and manages to feel fresh while doing so.

    Mario easily jumps high above all expectations. Even if you think that Super Mario Odyssey is not for you, you'll be shouting out "YAHOO!" like a kid once Cappy is done with you.
