With over 50 games on the roster Sega Mega Drive Classics has something for most retro fans. Granted most of the games have already been seen in older collections and the emulation is not always perfect, but the ability to quick save and especially rewind is a game changer. Even though some will call it cheating, the ability to undo mistakes makes the classic games much more accessible and enjoyable than ever before.

Unravel Two may not be as surprising as its predecessor, but it’s a better game in every aspect. The addition of a second playable characters feels fresh, and the game design feels more responsive this time.

Extreme speeds, brutal crashes and intense races – Onrush got it all. If you want an arcade racer in the veins of Blur and Burnouts Road Rage mode, this is for you. We do worry about the longevity of the game as it only offers four game modes and has a pretty serious online focus. But hopefully Onrush will find enough fans to garner a vital online community, because this is the most fun we have had in a racing game since Burnout's heydays.

It’s better than its predecessor, but The Crew 2 never really reaches its potential – mainly due to some underwhelming level design and a badly written story. However, in the end, The Crew 2 is an entertaining game, and a good choice for those who are looking for a racing game with big variation.

A port of last years Wolfenstein II to the Nintendo Switch seemed like an impossible task, but Panic Button has exceeded our expectations. Sure, there are some massive downgrades regarding the graphics, but the core gameplay is pretty much intact. The main problem is that the other versions of the game are so much better, but if you want a portable first person shooter this might be the best one yet.

Still addicting like it's Wii U counterpart, and still as fun. Although we miss the bonus content from the latter the core game is still a nice puzzle game for short burst, and fits perfectly on the Switch.

Octopath Traveler is a beautiful adventure that feels like the retro trip it desperately trying to be. But the design does very little to surprise us, the result being that the game starts to be very repetitive after ten hours or so.

Thanks to several major updates No Man's Sky is in many ways a very different experience today than it was in 2016, even though the main gameplay loop is still intact. If you want an exciting story or thrilling space combat, this is not for you. However, if you want a Minecraft-oozing space adventure filled with endless exploration, it fits perfectly. It may not be Star Wars or Mass Effect, but it's your very own space adventure.

Detroit: Become Human is better than Beyond: Two Souls, but it won’t be the game that turns the skeptics around. The dialogue is poorly written and it’s hard to feel anything for the characters. It’s a story that is easy to be drawn into, but also one that doesn’t have that much to say at all.

The beloved God of War franchise certainly makes a sharp turn. But not for the worse, as this game packs all the looks, terrific gameplay and memorable characters needed to make it a true, frost-riddled gem.

Engaging and surprisingly emotional. Even though Surviving Mars can be frustrating at times, because of how poorly it communicates it’s mechanics, it’s still a great resource management game whose combination of a sincere theme and involving mechanics more games should study.

Despite an intriguing premise and a colourful cast of unforgettable characters, Far Cry 5 manages to deliver an utterly familiar experience. This is not all bad however, and we're happy to kill, adventure and toy around in the great sandbox that is Hope County, Montana.

It is certainly not difficult to find faults in Gravel. On the other hand, it's just as easy to put the pedal to the metal and enjoy the wonderfully exaggerated races. Rarely has a racing game been this fun and varied, although It could – and maybe should – have been better in a lot of ways.

Yakuza 6: The song of life is the finest entry in the series yet. Although impressing with its open world aspect, we do miss some of the content from previous games.

The story and most of the characters feel a bit too traditional, but aside from that Ni No Kuni II is a game that never disappoints. It's one of the most beautiful and heart-warming adventures in a long while, and it's better than the first game in every single respect.

Swedish indie developer Zoink delivers a beautiful and slow-paced platform adventure, that really feels unique. It isn't without flaws, though. The level design is a bit confusing and the control is far from perfect.

Kingdom Come is one of the most ambitious RPGs in a long while, with lots of things to do and choices to make. Some technical issues aside – if you are into Skyrim and The Witcher 3 - it is worth a closer look.

If you've managed to miss the two Bayonetta games previously, or you just want to have them available on a portable format, this collection is a must buy. If you've already played the two adventures however, there is nothing new to find here - even though the improved framerate is docked mode is a notable improvement over the Wii U versions.

Not your typical Metal Gear, but a bold move for the series. Great controls and visuals, bur the survival aspect is not unique and will not appeal to all fans.

The Switch version of Darkest Dungeon may have some sluggish controls, but the game itself is as brilliant as ever. A must-have if you into challenging games like Dark Souls.

Even though Blueprint have re-made everything from the graphics to the animations they’ve manage to not only make Shadow of the Colossus playable in 2018, but also to keep the feeling from the original game – and added some great extra features on top of that. One of the best remakes ever made.

A Hat in Time is a game full of fun, charm and variety - just like the best 3D platform games from the late 90's. Even though A Hat in Time is not as polished as, for example, Super Mario's latest adventures, it's still an entertaining adventure that is a great choice for everyone who wants to relive something akin to the platforming games from their childhood.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is just as hectic and intense as the original series it’s based on, and plays excellent as well. Don’t let the license fool you though, this gem is fun even if you are not a die hard fan of either the series or genre.

Monster Hunter World doesn’t make everything right, but it’s easily the best entry in the series so far – and one of the best action adventures you can play. The visuals are stunning, the mechanics are better than ever and the gameplay will please both hardcore fans as well as newcomers.

The most definitive and complete versions yet. Although we do enjoy all the enhancements and quality of life changes to the games mechanism, it’s still reuses a lot of content from the predecessors.

The latest game in the Sonic-franchise is everything you’d expect; intense, high tempo, simple and predictable. However, the controls lack of precision and the few levels stops it from reaching its former glory.

L.A Noire is still a unique game, even if it has some problems. The Switch version looks great, and is overall the best way to experience this.

Over six years after its original release, Skyrim is still a masterpiece. The Switch version plays really well, even though the lack of mods is a let down.

Nintendo Switch might be the ultimate platform for Rocket League. It's great to finally be able to play this game in a portable version.

An overhauled scouting system, squad hierarchy and better injury surveillance. Football Manager 2018 offers several new and exciting features, and even though none of them feels totally complete at the time of writing, they bring great hope for what's to come.

It’s hard not to be impressed by how much of the Doom experience that is preserved on Nintendo's little machine. On the other hand, it's impossible to ignore the big downgrades regarding graphics and controls. Doom on Switch is simply a worse experience than Doom on the other consoles and pc - but it’s still a pretty great experience. Especially in handheld mode.

The amount of new content on display here doesn’t make up for a subpar single-player, a still lackluster multiplayer and an absolutely abhorrent use of microtransactions.

Despite some strange and frustrating features, Need for Speed Payback gives you challenging races in a world that is surprisingly relaxing to explore. Although Forza Horizon 2 and 3 offer a similar but more refined experience, Ghost Games has included enough unique features to make their latest title feel like something more than a pale copy.

Call of Duty WW2 is in the middle of an identity crisis, but by going back to its roots it has created slower and more tactical gameplay that is much more fun to play than the wall running and double jumping from the last few installments.

Three years after Wolfenstein: The New Blood, nazi-killing machine BJ Blazkowicz is back in another action packed, yet oddly gripping adventure. Even if it doesn’t exceed the original game, it still is fun, intense and gorgeous looking.

Assassin's Creed Origins is gorgeous to look at and experience and mostly okay to play. The lack of interesting gameplay news is disappointing and so are the many technical bugs. However the setting of Egypt remains a a stunner throughout.

Super Mario Odyssey introduces several new gameplay mechanics to a beloved series, and delivers a colorful adventure that oozes with fun and nostalgia. It looks, sounds and plays just as great as expected, but the collection of power moons can sometimes feel a bit like a chore.

With impressive graphics, excellent controls and a well-developed online mode, Gran Turismo Sport could have been the best racing game of the year. Unfortunately, the lack of cars and courses and a half-baked single-player mode results in a game that does not reach its full potential. The foundation is great though, and if Polyphony Digital continue to add content at a steady pace Gran Turismo Sport might just grab the gold in the end.

Fire Emblem Warriors is a great successor to Hyrule Warriors and adds some very intuitive additions. The lack of variation with the lead characters in the cast reduces some enjoyment though.

Ark: Survivor Evolved is not a game for everyone. But if you have patience, and are willing to learn the basics the hard way the payoff is huge. A bit clumsy control on the consoles aside, this is one of the most addictive games this year.

Steamworld Dig 2 triumphs over the first game in every single aspect. The world is better designed and the gameplay is more polished. It may not be a new Super Metroid, but it's close enough.

You may be able to relate to that period in life when every minute of your life circles around a single game. For us this autumn, Divinity Original Sin 2 is that game. Easily one of the finest moments in the genre.

A remake that leaves very little to wish for, even though the gameplay starts to feel a bit old by now. Still the best installment in the series.

Even though The Evil Within 2 is not a perfect game, it managed to keep us on the edge our our seats through its 15 hours of gameplay, with lots of surprises. We keep our fingers crossed for a triquel.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War can best be described as Shadow of Mordor with extra of everything. Just like the first one, it's ambitious, addictive and easy to pick up. The gameplay tends to be a bit repetitive, but in every other way Shadow of War is a nearly perfect action game.

Cuphead is a tribute to the Technicolor cartoons of the 30’s. It’s a hard game as well, with old school mechanics that will bring you tears of frustration.

Forza Motorsport 7 is an exhilarating and easy-to-play racing game that is perfect for everyone who doesn’t want to waste their time on anything but reaching the checkered flag first. And on the track, Forza impresses with a ton of cars and intense races. Unfortunately the somewhat terrible AI, a few game breaking bugs and a complete lootbox-craze left us a with a sour taste. We still enjoy our time with the game, but it is not as fine-tuned as expected.

As usual a new Fifa means an improvement from last year version, this time a small one. The physics and the AI is better, as are the visuals – with leads to a better game overall. Not but a large margin, though.

A bit of a disappointment, mainly because the charming characters from the previously entries has been replaced by others, and a greedily implement of dlc content. Luckily the fighting is as good as ever.

Pokkén Tournament DX is a fun fighting game that is easy to get in to. The core gameplay is more about flashy attacks than finesse, but there is still plenty of room for tactics. All in all, Pokkén Tournament DX is a good addition to the Switch library. Just do not expect many changes from the Wii U version, since it is essentially the same game.

With Total War: Warhammer 2, Creative Assembly nurtures and carefully develops the winning scheme from last year's success. A slew of exciting additions and a new take on the campaign, mixed with four awesome new armies, make this strategy-sequel a must-play.

NHL 18 has plenty of content for the hockey fan, whether you play offline or online. The new skill focused gameplay is a welcome addition, as well as the party mode "Threes". But just like the previous games NHL 18 feels a little too unpolished on the ice. This series is still in need of a renovation.

The first thing you should do in Project Cars 2 is to forget about the career mode. Instead you should go to Custom Race, choose a car that is fun to drive, pick a favorite track and mess around with the comprehensive race settings. After that you should just put the pedal to the metal and enjoy one of the best driving games ever.

On the pitch, PES 2018 is almost as good as it gets. Fluid mechanics, jaw-dropping goalscoring and real precision in the controls make for thrilling matches and spinning highlight reels. Too bad the old flaws are still there – licenses are sparse and the commentary horrendous. If you can look past the errors, this is a must-buy for football fanatics.

Metroid: Samus Returns is the perfect throwback for fans of the genre. With a cleaver counter system, solid controls and atmospheric gameplay it truly stands beside the other 2D entries. It even makes us forget about the tragedies that was Other M and Federation Force. Almost.

Destiny 2 is not as much a revolution as it is an evolution, expanding on every facet of the original game. Even though the story sometimes stumble it is a big leap forward for Bungie, and the wealth of content in Destiny 2 will surely satisfy even the most hardcore players.

Although Before The Storm has the same old graphics as the first Life is Strange, the game feels good and evokes nostalgic memories from 2015. We love the fact that Chloe isn’t super natural at all and are excited to get to know Rachel Ambers.

At best, Monster Hunter Stories is a good Pokémon knock off for fans of the genre. The flawed story makes it difficult to recommend for others.

Although Yakuza Kiwami does fall into the same routine as Yakuza 0, the new new sections with Majima are truly exceptional. Nevertheless, it does not change the fact that Kiwami feels like an expansion rather than a sequel.

With the exception of a few graphical issues and annoying bugs, there is plenty to praise in F1 2017. Codemasters have created a brilliant, albeit a little repetitive, racing experience that is incredibly intense yet entertaining. It would have been welcome with some more notable improvements compared to last year’s iteration, but all the minor improvements enhance the overall experience quite a bit.

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is both charming and satisfyingly deep at the same time. The strategic fights are often easy to understand but hard to beat. It’s a surprising well-made marriage between the iconic Nintendo characters and the irreverent Rabbids.

It's not hard to find things to complain about in Knack 2. The characters look terrible, the level design is overly simple and the graphics are lackluster. Despite all those problems Knack 2 manages to entertain quite a bit thanks to challenging battles, enjoyable platforming and clever puzzles. Knack 2 is far from perfect, but it’s still a fun and family-friendly experience.

Matterfall may be the weakest title Housemarque has released to Playstation 4, but it's still a mostly great mix of platforming and shooting. We really enjoy the intense action and demanding difficulty – but we wish the game was a bit more polished and significantly longer.

Starcraft: Remastered is a great but somewhat superfluous upgrade with the original game still being supported and free to play at that. Still it´s hard to fault anyone for wanting to enjoy this versions upgraded sound and graphics since the price point is so low. Starcraft is still fantastic but the remaster it´s more of a thing for pros and nostalgia than for a new set of players.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy offers more of the same cinematic and action packed gameplay as we're used to with the series. The story and the characters are well-written, and the graphics are stunning. On the negative side, the new mechanic that lets us explore the world at our own pace feels a bit underdeveloped.

Agents of Mayhem is a gorgeous slaughterfest filled to the brim with gadgets, silly one-liners and special effects. Is it fun? Absolutely! Is it freakin' awesome? Nah. Technological glitches and a stroke of repetitiveness prevents this game from netting a place among the must-buys of 2017.

Great mix of retooled old stages and new ones, still with the same feel and replayability as the classics. Sonic Mania is everything that Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 and 2 hoped to be and then some.

Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs is a light-hearted tactical role-playing game that is easy to learn yet challenging to complete. Even though the combat system and story could have used a bit more depths, the beautiful hand-painted graphics, well-written characters and enjoyable battles makes it is an impressive debut for the studio.

Hey! Pikmin isn’t a bad game, it just feels a bit uninspiring. The level design is boring, the visuals look outdated and the game lacks variation. It’s easy to pick up for everyone and can be fun in shorter sessions, but overall Hey! Pikmin is a disappointment.

After several years of mistreatment and neglect Crash Bandicoot makes a grand comeback with Nsane Trilogy; a collection consisting of the Bandicoot's first three adventures carefully remade with shiny new graphics and a few other notable improvements. While the Crash Bandicoot games never came close to the quality of Nintendos Mario, this collection is still surprisingly enjoyable for both old and new players.

A remake to inspire all remakes. Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age takes an already amazing game and makes it even better. The new graphics sure is nice and all but the technical improvements, like faster load times and the fast-forwarding system steals the show here.

Spatoon 2 may feel more like an update than a new game, but just like its predecessor it’s easy to pick up for everyone – whether you’re a hardcore Splatoon-fan or new to the series. Additionally, the new weapons and abilities are all fun to use, and really deepen the mechanics. This is in every way a better game than the first one.

Morrowind is a well-made but familiar extension to the Elder Scrolls Online universe. Although "more of the same" has a negative tone to it, it is hard to complain when a huge island filled with exciting adventure awaits. However, it would have been nice with an updated combat system and some new game mechanics that would bring some needed freshness to the gameplay.

With Dirt 4 Codemasters tries to cater fans of both the unforgivingly excellent Dirt Rally and the more accessible Dirt 3. It works a lot better than we initially thought, but it also leads to a somewhat lacking experience that does a lot of things right - but few things perfectly.

Motion controllers isn’t always the best way to go, but in Arms they really add something to the gameplay. It may not be perfect – certainly not for those who prefer to play alone – but it feels like a fresh, and accessible, take on the fighting genre.

It's not tough to be impressed by Injustice 2. Those who prefer to play alone have a ton of content with a varied degree of difficulty to conquer, while those who prefer real opponents have a robust online mode with several smart features to explore. Whether you are an amateur who play for fun or a professional there is something for you to do. And who doesn’t want to give Superman a slap in the face?

Tekken 7’s greatest strength is being accessible to all type of players, whether you are a beginner or long time fan of the series. The addition of the Rage mechanics and a full-fledged story mode makes it an even more complete package, perfect for all and not just fighting game fans.

Although the original developer Psygnosis does not exist anymore, Wipeout is better than ever - and we sincerely hope that Wipeout Omega Collection is not the last entry in the series.

Fire Emblem has become one of the best RPG series in modern times, sadly Fire Emblem Echoes is the weakest installment so far. It lacks the depth from Fire Emblem Fates, and the combat system isn't nearly as fun.

Although Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers uses the same graphics from HD Remix, it’s got enough content to stand on it’s own. But we wonder why they included the atrocious Way of the Hado mini game instead of putting those resources to the main game.

The Surge is something really promising – challenging but fair with a strong sense of progression. At the same time the story, characters and game world is uninspiring and boring. Right now it’s only a descent Dark Souls tribute without a strong identity of its own.

Little Nightmares is a perfect balanced experience with around five hours of gameplay. It has some flaws, but the atmosphere and the unique setting makes up for that. If you are in need for something short and interesting, you should give this one a try.

Even though Dragon Quest Heroes II might not feel like a full fledged sequel, it fixes our main gripes of the first game and offers an enjoyable adventure filled with charm and flashy but somewhat repetitive battles.

Prey really wants to be the strange science fiction cousin to Dishonored, with varied combat and deep world building. Arkane Studios has really succeeded with the latter. It's easy to tolerate the lackluster combat when Talos 1 is such a fascinating place to visit.

The Disney Afternoon Collection is the perfect nostalgia trip for everyone who grew up in the late 80’s. It is a solid collection with perfect pixels and magical music. And of course old school difficulty.

With fast-paced battles, creativity and deep mechanics, Bayonetta has always been one of our favorite action games. The PC version adds 60 frames per second, and is therefore the best way to experience the game. Still a masterpiece.

While it is great that more people get a chance to play Lego City Undercover, this is a bare-bone port that lacks improvements besides an underdeveloped multiplayer option and some basic graphical enhancements.

Mario Kart 8 for Wii U was the best game in the series so far, and with this Deluxe edition it has gotten even better. The redesigned battle mode is a brilliant addition, with fun stages and some new mechanics. To be able to finally play Mario Kart 8 outside of your home makes it worth buying, even if you have already spent hundreds of hours with it before.

This spiritual sequel to the original point-and-clicker Maniac Mansion sets the mood, brings out the joke book (both literally and figuratively) and takes us on a journey through adventure game history, while still managing to make it feel fresh and hysterically fun.

It has been almost 20 years since Parappa the Rapper, and many of us still have good memories from it. Sadly, Parappa the Rapper doesn't hold up in 2017, mostly because some really poor mechanics. Do yourself a favor: don't buy this, and keep the memories as they were.

Yooka-Laylee is in every way a love letter to the platform genre of the 90's. There is tons of stuff to do, funny looking characters everywhere and new surprises behind every corner. On the negative side there are some technical issues along with a struggling camera. But overall, if you are a fan of Banjo-Kazooie, you're probably going to have plenty of fun with this.

After more than eight years Persona 5 is finally here – and it is well-worth the wait. The lengthy adventure never gets boring thanks to a fantastic combat system, great characters and lots of different things to do. While it may not be perfect, it is the best and most accessible Persona game yet – and the best Japanese role playing game in many years.

Mass Effect Andromeda is the anticipated sequel to the hit space trilogy that, sadly enough, doesn’t deliver. Sketchy animations, uninspiring characters and uneven story make this one a space-adventure to quickly forget.

As an open world co-op game Wildlands mistakes scope for depth and leaves the player with a monotonous and shallow action game consisting of a bare minimum of parts and elements most players will have already experienced many times before. Skip it.

Lego Worlds could've been the ultimate Lego game. The Minecraft inspired design is perfect for this type of game, and the game promise endless possibilities. But some bad design choices holds it back. Minecraft is still the obvious choice in the genre.

The latest installment in the Sniper Elite series is better looking than ever. On the other hand the gameplay feels a bit uninspired, mainly due to lack of realism and a really silly plot.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild is not just the best game in the franchise, it’s also manages to reinvent the open world genre. This will be remembered as a masterpiece for years to come.

For anyone with a fondness for intense action games spiced with Japanese oddities Nier: Automata is a must. Platinum Games have made some of the world's best action titles - and Nier: Automata is their best game yet.
