    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.

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider is basically the same game as Rise of theTomb Raider, but in a new environment. This time Lara finds her self in the Peruvian jungle – and it looks absolutely stunning. Unfortunately the graphics are about the only thing new in this game and we wish the gameplay would have been improved as well. But despite it's shortcomings, Shadow of the Tomb Raider has a great entertainment. value.

    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.

    After last year’s largely disappointing entry Codemasters amends almost all of the game’s faults with F1 2016. With a great sense of speed and a plethora of options and game modes F1 2016 is one of the most engaging racing experiences ever made.

    The Division 2 is a safe but overall well-made sequel. Although the most noticeable difference compared to the predecessor might be the shift from winter to spring, there have been several improvements that do a lot for the gameplay - not the least in terms of combat. Liberating Washington is also just as fun and rewarding today as it was to help New York three years ago. If you want a more down to earth online action game, The Division 2 is the game for you.

    Yakuza Kiwami 2 offers a unique blend that is needed in an industry where the norm otherwise follows a specific template. It does not copy other successful concepts but is instead a fusion of elements that made us love Sega classics like Shenmue, Virtua Fighter and Streets of Rage. And what other game lets you go directly from an arcade, make a stop at a karaoke bar and then on to the top of a skyscraper to fight a yakuza boss and his pet Bengali tigers?

    Borderlands 3 is another excellent game in the series that started the whole "looter shooter" genre. Tight controls, non stop action and a great variety of stages make us want to explore even more all the time. Some parts of the dialogues may feel slightly over the top though. And as the subgenre's name suggests, the whole thing is to loot weapons, which in the long run may be to repetitive for some. Gearbox did not revolutionize the genre this time around, but instead refined it's own concept a notch.

    Rarely have we felt as ridiculously cool as when we are playing Huntdown. Everything from graphics and music to gameplay is top-notch and every level is packed with non-stop and often hilarious action. Sure, the graphics may be a bit chaotic at times, and sometimes it feels like luck plays a bigger role than skills. But overall, Huntdown is a fantastic shooter in a beautiful retro package.

    Super Mario 3D All-Stars contains three of Mario's very best adventures, now redesigned to work optimally on the Switch. Being able to carry these classics is a joy, and all the titles have been spruced up compared to their models. In terms of gameplay, the games have aged with dignity and hold up surprisingly well in a post-Super Mario Odyssey world. However, we do miss Super Mario Galaxy 2.

    Avicii Invector is a game based entirely on music by the late Avicii. The gameplay itself is easy to learn, but hard to master - not least on the higher difficulty levels. Unfortunately, the gameplay does not significantly affect the music, but the graphics and sound still create an fantastic audiovisual bang. We just wish the tracklist was larger.

    Death Stranding is unlike anything we have played before, despite it's obvious influences from previous Kojima games. And just as in his other works, there are a number of messages and meta discussions engraved in the experience, which certainly will again deter those who only want to play casually. No offense to that, but in the case of Death Stranding, it probably just makes the experience more difficult to digest. It requires a more open mind than other games. Partly because the story is a bit more overwhelming than usual, but also because the deliveries we actually have to make can feel repetitive if we lose the overall picture. For those who are still willing to try something new it's one of the most unique experiences in years. A journey that affects the entire emotional spectrum and that makes us reflect far beyond the final credits.

    Mortal Kombat 11 is still one of the most entertaining games of the year to date. Maybe even the best Mortal Kombat game, game-wise. Unfortunately, not many of us will even see half of the unlockable content without opening the wallet. Too bad, because otherwise we would have had a game worthy of the name "Ultimate Mortal Kombat".

    With beautiful worlds and family-friendly action, Spyro Reignited Trilogy Spyro delivers pure gaming joy and is perfect for both nostalgics and kids who have not played a Spyro game before. It is somewhat noticeable that the core mechanics are over 15 years old, but overall the annoyances are easy to forgive.

    Control is a really atmospheric game with everything we want in a third person action game and a little more, but unfortunately it falls on the execution. With more well-made character models and fewer bugs, this would have been a really good game for anyone looking for an immersive and intense experience. Unfortunately, it’s sometimes barely playable. And we get devastated every time we have to restart the entire mission, often because of bugs, as Control otherwise has the potential to become a true full score game.

    Little Nightmares 2 is a brilliant game. Not literally - it's sickly dark and macabre - but in all other aspects! The atmosphere and the audiovisual presentation are difficult to match, while the gaming experience offers a lot of hair-raising moments. The music is also in a class of its own. In terms of game mechanics, however, there is something more to be desired.

    After over seven years it feels surrealistic to finally play The Last Guardian. Has it been worth the wait? No idea – some players will complain about the unpolished controls, the graphics and the bad camera angels. On the other hand the story is beautiful and the world is as stunning as it was in Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. For us, this is one of the best adventures in recent years.

    With smarter opponents, improved physics and an enhanced career mode, Moto GP 20 is a step up from last year’s successful version in most ways. Unfortunately, a couple of odd bugs have been added, while the MotoE class and junior cup (temporarily?) are removed. But despite a few missteps, Moto GP 20 is the best motorcycle racing game on the market and an excellent complement to regular car racing games.

    51 Worldwide games is one of the most complete mini-game collections available today. Card games and classic table games blend nicely with the more action-packed ones, such as bowling and air hockey. Thus, we have always something that is suitable for all occasions and that also utilizes the Switch console's different modes of play. In addition this digital collection also is much easier to transport comparing to their physical counterparts.

    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.

    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.

    If you haven't play Skyrim before, Special Edition is the version to get. It's a lazy remake though that still contains minor but frustrating bugs.

    Garden Warfare 2 is pretty much more of the same – and it’s totally fine when it’s this good. The concept is easy to learn for everyone, and at the same time hard to master for those who want to go all in To sum up: if you liked the first one you will most certainly love this too.

    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.

    Trackmania Turbo is a magnificent and challenging arcade racer that offers tons of content, both for single- and multiplayer. Add a great track editor and you will have plenty to do, even if you just want to try other people’s creations. There are some problems with the progression system and the controls could be a bit tighter, but if you do not mind a challenge Trackmania Turbo is the best arcade racer since Burnout Paradise.

    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.

    Not without it's flaws, but Final Fantasy XV is a fantastic comeback for the series and a beautiful love letter to the fans of the series. With a mix of open world, hectic combat and engaging characters – this is the Final Fantasy we have been waiting for.

    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.

    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.

    Age of Empires 4 is a safe new entry in the classic series. It is both nicer and bigger than before, but at the same time characterized by an extremely familiar feeling. The various playable civilizations are the triumph of the game, but the inherited problems from the rts genre as a whole do create some irritation.

    Persona 5 Strikers is not your usual hack-n-slash game from Omega Force. It is rather a wonderful fusion that takes the best pieces out of the well known Warriors formula and Persona, which is then mixed together into something completely unique. If you are looking for a deeper hack-n-slash, this is the way to go.
