PUBG 1.0 might have been released a bit too early and this choice hasn’t paid off when it comes to optimization. Regardless, for what matters (content), this release has a more mature structure that the developers will be able to enrich from time to time thanks to the events and the live component.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is a courageous experiment that aims exclusively to online fighting, not offering much to the single player lovers. Fighting online with your ninja is definitely fun, but there's still some problems with the server and the camera.

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is a female-only beat 'em up, but the results don't work extremely well; special moves are too easy to execute, but SNK Playmore did the right thing by allowing 2-player tag battles.

Another Sight is a game that knows how to implement a solid artistic view, but is plagued by some unforgivable gameplay issues that will frustrate even the most patient player.

The gameplay seems real football, but online modes and contents in general are too stuck with the past.

Marvel's Spider-Man is a huge tribute to the superhero. The original story is written around him and has great moments. It's somehow slow at the beginning and the game design is not original, but from the second act it starts to gain strength and at the end has the right climax to make the entire game succeed.

Although we appreciated that frantic action seen in Yo-Kai Watch Blasters, our love for the unique combat system seen in the first two episodes remains unchanged, and we hope to see it return as soon as possible in the franchise. This spin-off is a nice buy for the newcomers, though.

Two Point Hospital is a perfect modern old school game, a well-deserved tribute to the old Theme games.

Ninjin: Clash of Carrots is funny and cute. It is an evolution of the classic endless runner for smartphones, with more content and plenty of weapons and customization suitable for the playable characters.

Moonfall Ultimate is a new version of the RPG game launched in 2015, however its mechanics and artistic side do not show any particular improvement or originality. The narration is totally typical of the fantasy genre and the gameplay shows many bugs and problems while playing. In conclusion this work could have been done better.

Not Tonight is Papers, Please-like set in a post-Brexit GB; it sounds good, but it misses some points.

The Messenger is yet another quality indie title that comes to Nintendo Switch this year: if you've grown up playing Ninja Gaiden or any Castlevania game (both pre and post Symphony of the Night), this is the adventure you've been waiting for.

God Wars: The Complete Legend is a new and richer version of the previous game launched in 2017, however it shows some graphical imperfections and its content does not show any particular improvement even on the technical side. Anyway, this JRPG sounds very familiar to us and it can be enjoyed very well both on TV or in handheld version.

Divinity: Original Sin II is a must-play for every RPG fan, thanks to its complete freedom and its complex-yet-satisfying gameplay.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is the game Switch deserves, but not the one it needs right now. A good porting, with good mechanics but poor graphical performances.

Strange Brigade is Rebellion’s attempt to develop something new, an action third-person shooter that makes playability and fun its principal objectives. Though the game is a fun and light experience, it should be played not too many times in a row because of the confusion that sometimes affects the on-screen action. It’s a game developed with professionalism and a generous amount of inspiration, and it could be a good way to pass these last summer days or to begin with the TPS world.

Dragon Quest XI is the best-looking in the long running franchise, and its core, while unchanged, remains solid and funny. Still, we would like to see some major changes and improvements in the next installment.

Graphics-wise, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is the best in the franchise so far, but it's not only the Dragon Engine that shines: an array of mini-games, an amazing campaign and improved combat system are the stars of the show.

Juan has come back and Guacamelee! 2 is another great metroidvania, full of action and with a fast pace.

Shenmue 1 & 2 are two of the most influential videogames ever. The new generations of post-millennial can now discover the origin of the myth.

Engaging story, fascinating characters, a well crafted gameplay and lots of decisions. Sure, there are some minor flaws in the plot, but you can say that Unavowed is a great adventure, probably the best of 2018.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Persistence takes every element from a traditional roguelike and brings them to the next level in Virtual Reality. This sci-fi explorative adventure is a polished experience, from the graphics quality to the exceptional sound design. The gameplay offers procedurally-generated levels and a vast array of power-ups and weapons, all available for you to customize your character in the best way. The Persistence is a must have if you are looking for a fresh new VR horror adventure on PS4.

F1 2018 continues on the good road set by the predecessors. The gameplay is the typical one, friendly for newcomers and complex for hardcore players. There are some problems with the AI, but not enough to stop a F1 fan from buying the game.

The fist episode of this season of The Walking Dead delivers some good moments, some tweaks on the gameplay and pleasant graphics. Still, there are no traces of the characters of the third season, and some reactions of the new characters left us a bit blown away.

State of Mind tells a compelling story about a futuristic world that can be very close to our on the next fifty years. Besides the wonderful narrative, low budget and scarce gameplay ideas are the only reasons why Daedalic game can't compete with the other famous competitor.

La-Mulana 2 is a hardcore metroidvania that can crush you every time. Try to be patient and to learn from your mistakes and you'll be rewarded: it is a masterpiece.
