Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is not the abomination haters would want it to be but it is clear that the franchise is going through an identity crisis. Under its bizarre sci-fi concept, the campaign still has some of the core elements you would expect from the single player mode, but the overly convoluted structure of the multiplayer, chaotic rhythm, the flashy presentation of Zombies in Spaceland and a few technical hiccups will make you hesitate when calling this a Call of Duty game.- LevelUp

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 fixes many of the problems that the first title left unattended and once again gives the player the opportunity to fix the Dragon Ball history. The game has a great amount of content which means many hours of gameplay. Fan service and nice storytelling will keep you going until you reach the very end. However, countless localization problems, recycled elements and senseless side-missions hurt the overall experience.- LevelUp

World of Final Fantasy may not look like a modern open-world action RPG. But instead, it brings colorful environments, an enjoyable story, great combat mechanics and, most importantly, nostalgia at its best. This Square Enix game was made for the Final Fantasy fan who loves the series and its iconic characters. It may not have the best narrative and dialogue, but it will give players tons of entertainment on many different levels.- LevelUp

Improving on its predecessors, Civilization VI stands on the shoulders of giants to reach beyond them. With more freedom, personalization, complexity and meaningful choices than ever, the game is every inch as addictive as ever, even to the veteran, who will toil with the improved difficulty, new victory conditions and mechanics. A masterpiece.- LevelUp

Titanfall 2 comes across as a beefier experience overall. The multiplayer mode hits the mark almost on every level while addressing most of the complaints gamers had with the original game. On top of that, now you have a proper campaign, which may not be very memorable but serves as a nice addition and a testament to Respawn's commitment to its fans.- LevelUp

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 could feel like the same title that came out 7 years ago, but it brings new and more challenging features that competitive players will enjoy. The game is fun from the first to the last curse you unblock. It may not have many modes or real Boss Battles, but it is still a fun experience that Pac-Man fans will enjoy.- LevelUp

Battlefield 1 is a breathtaking reinvention of the franchise, faithful to its origins and with enough innovations to redefine total warfare as we know it. It has an impactful and touching campaign, and a well designed multiplayer. In other words, Battlefield 1 has solid-enough foundations to be a competitive shooter for years to come.- LevelUp

Despite adopting the same formula as Minecraft, Dragon Quest Builders gives the player an adventure of its own. It has an extensive open world to explore, easy to understand crafting mechanics, but the best part of this Square Enix game is that there is a goal to accomplish, colorful characters and great storytelling.- LevelUp

Finally, WWE 2K17 is here for current and last generation consoles. The lack of Showcase mode gave the chance to My Career to shine on its own, but instead, showed how badly prepared this mode is compared with other sports games. On the other hand, the game mechanics are slower, hurting overall and experience that need an urgent evolution so the franchise can feel fresh. WWE 2K17 must be taken as a lesson of how a wrestling game should not be.- LevelUp

If I had to describe Mafia III in one word, that would be disappointing. A huge open world, good voice acting and an impressive soundtrack flesh out 2K's big bet. Unfortunately, repetitive missions, technical setbacks and a barren city end up diminishing the game's potential, putting its flaws on the spotlight.- LevelUp

XCOM 2, the turn-based strategy masterpiece is now available on current generation consoles. The core experience remains untouched thanks to well-established controls and little to no technical difficulties. A must have for any gamer.- LevelUp

Rise of The Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration is a party that starts really late. It is the same game that came out on Xbox platforms, but with a lot of extra great content and enhancements for PlayStation platforms. The main problem is many players may have already played the game and may not have a need to go after this edition. The truth is that users who waited this long for Rise of The Tomb Raider for PS4 will love the game from beginning to end but others may not need to play it again in other platforms. Nevertheless, Rise of the Tomb Raider is hands down a great game.- LevelUp

Gears of War 4 delivers a solid entertainment experience. Supported by a great multiplayer and cooperative modes as well as an amazing campaign, the game only falls short on its script and character development. Horde 3.0 is awesome and deep, the new multiplayer modes are fun and the history feels like a 3D Contra game. Leaving other minor technical setbacks aside, Xbox One users can't go wrong with this one.- LevelUp

Yo-Kai Watch 2 works great for someone that never played the first iteration; however, those who did will receive the same experience with no new game mechanics or elements that provide a different feeling. Whit no animation upgrades and a corny narrative, Yo-Kai Watch 2 is an RPG that took one step forward and two —or maybe three— steps back by not contributing with something fresh.- LevelUp

Although it doesn't include as much content as we would have liked, Rise of Iron turned out to be a fun expansion, full of tweaks and small changes to stuff that used to make us angry. The new raid is a hoot and the redesign of the Iron Banner feels very welcome.- LevelUp

NBA 2K has been one of the greatest sport franchises over the past decade and NBA 2K17 is no different. The in-depth detail, the music, the looks and feels this game brings to the table are amazing.- LevelUp

FIFA 17 represents the most notorious improvement of the franchise in recent memory. Some areas such as defense tactics and traditional career modes feel a bit neglected this year but on the other hand you have a fresh take on the football experience with The Journey and a complete overhaul of gameplay over the pitch that puts the claim for real innovation to rest... at least this year.- LevelUp

Forza Horizon 3 brings back the fun into the Forza series. Doesn't matter what kind of car you want to drive or where you want to drive it, it's possible, plus the map is huge and filled with challenges, events, races and more.- LevelUp

Just Sing seemed like a good idea when the trailer of the game was first shown... the result is different, though. The companion app does not work as it was supposed to and the experience of a great singing performance is not gratifying. This is merely a poor Just Dance adaptation to a karaoke game. The only salvageable aspect of Just Sing is a music selection made to please all tastes.- LevelUp

An undeniable improvement over last year's iteration, PES 2017 looks and feels amazing, but the ever-growing licensing problem is reaching a point in which it disrupts immersion and some gameplay elements such as transfers an auction tools in myClub. On top of that, there's little innovation when it comes to game modes and the online front remains uninspired and stale.- LevelUp

God Eater 2: Rage Burst feels like a game that was made in a rush with no real purpose, instead of having a great story to tell, giving the player simple mechanics, nice pacing and an easy to understand character development. Because of all this the game clearly comes across as something you should not play. Give it a chance if you really love the franchise or did not play God Eater Resurrection, otherwise, just wait for it to change its price tag.- LevelUp

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice shows everyone once again why the graphic novel genre is underrated. The narrative's quality and the twists and turns during the court sessions are immersive and put genuine pressure on the 3DS users. The new mechanics and defeating prosecutors while demonstrating why justice prevails are some of the arguments that still put Phoenix Wright among the best Capcom franchises in existence.- LevelUp

The King of Fighters is back to claim its place as one of the most beloved fighting series of all time. Sadly though, it keeps using the same formula without even trying to innovate the core mechanics of the franchise which will only bring back the veteran enthusiasts instead of appealing to new generations. Quantity is not the same as quality and having a lot of characters on the roster won't make up for issues like a bad netcode or horrible 3D graphics.- LevelUp

Rhythm Heaven Megamix may not look like other flashy rhythm games, but its simplistic presentation and gameplay mechanics work really well. Thanks to its many composers, the music selection feels diverse, despite focusing only on the pop genre. Overall, it is a great game for new comers and serves as a collection of greatest hits for the players that follow the series since its inception on the NDS.- LevelUp
