These games exceeded my expectations by a mile. Pokemon Sun and Moon are games that every Pokemon fan and every 3DS owner needs to own. Nintendo and Gamefreak did an awesome job creating a great story and the changes they made for the format make the game feel fresh and exciting more so than ever before. The game has its minor issues like the end game and some performance issues on Old 3DS models but the soundtrack, the story and the new features more than make up for it, to make an unforgettable experience.

This is probably the best game in a criminally underrated series by Nintendo. Almost every gameplay element was handled with care, with very few mishaps. I know it really doesn't look like it, but Pikmin 4 is a game for hardcore gamers that are willing to dig deep to find one of the most fulfilling and exciting games out there.

This was a big risk by Square Enix, but it paid off marvelously. The PS5 now has its Final Fantasy game, and although it doesn't really feel like a Final Fantasy game (mechanically), but it is an excellent game in its own right, with amazing graphics, incredible gameplay in what is possibly the OST of the year. I am so happy that this is my 300th review.

This collection is the best and, in my opinion, only way you should experience Uncharted 4 and Uncharted The Lost Legacy. The enhancements are more than solid, and the jump from 30 to 60 (and even 120) FPS finally give it the edge it so desperately deserved.

The campaign might be a bit lacking, but the overall quality of Gran Turismo 7 outshines any minor gripe I might have had with the game. Simply put, it's an excellent addition to the series, hampered only by it's "Always Online" mandate for the campaign.

Saros is a worthy and very respectable spiritual sequel to Returnal, and even though it may feel too easy at times or tiresome in terms of its main plot, as a whole it is simply an excellent, fun and addictive Roguelite action game, in the best sense of the term.

This bundle is a huge celebration for fans of Mario, both new and old. These are 2 of the best 3D platforming games ever made, and is a huge recommendation for fans of the genre.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a great experience, which at almost any given moment manages to excel in its ability to provide us with a good exploration, a fairly interesting storyline, and a very considerable amount of treasures and objects for us to explore and discover.

This is one of the best fighting games in recent years, but most importantly – we're talking about the best anime tie-in game in the past 10 years. The lobby system is the only downside of this game, but other than that, the gameplay is super solid, the voice acting is amazing and the plethora of modes make it both engaging for fighting game veterans, and fun and accessible for newcomers and fans alike.

Nintendo launched the Switch with an excellent Zelda game, and two and a half years later does it again with another incredible Zelda game. It has its shortcomings (specifically in the performance department) but it still shines as a great remake of the OG mobile Zelda.

Spider-Man exceeded my expectations in every single way. It has its low points, but they are so minor, they become insignificant in the face of its many positive points. Spider-Man is the PS4's second system seller in 2018.

These games exceeded my expectations by a mile. Pokemon Sun and Moon are games that every Pokemon fan and every 3DS owner needs to own. Nintendo and Gamefreak did an awesome job creating a great story and the changes they made for the format make the game feel fresh and exciting more so than ever before. The game has its minor issues like the end game and some performance issues on Old 3DS models but the soundtrack, the story and the new features more than make up for it, to make an unforgettable experience.

It is extremely funny to me, that a game that's mainly focused on brains, would be all heart. But hey - that's Psychonauts 2 for you: A brilliant game from the brilliant minds in Double Fine Studios.

This is one of the best games in the Hitman franchise and definitely the best game in the "World of Assassination" Trilogy by IO Interactive. This is a must play for anyone into Hitman and a great ending to Agent 47's story.

id and Bethesda stunned us with Doom 2016, and Doom Eternal is their final blow. An amazing single-player campaign filled to the brim with content and lore is coupled with some of the best FPS level designs and combat. Doom Eternal is a must play.

Titanfall 2 is a fun game. Even though it has a short campaign, I had a great time playing it. Multiplayer is fun thanks to the game’s amazing gameplay, but lack of balancing and awkward level design make it a forgettable experience. I can easily say that Titanfall 2 is a good game, but its lack of depth will ensure I won’t be visiting it again anytime soon.

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus tries to take the series a colossal step forward and indeed manages to do so in many aspects. Its impressive story and characters deserve a TV series, the combat is exploding and wild and the perk system is really challenging and fun. However, Wolfenstein 2 climbs too high and eventually crashes severely due to extremely unbalanced difficulty levels and clunky stealth and health systems, that make it too difficult even for experienced FPS players. Get psyched for a real grinding.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is the best JRPG i played this year and it will probably stay that way. I can't wait to jump back in to its addicting gameplay mechanics and gorgeous anime visuals.

Silent Hill 2 was shaping up to be a disappointment and somehow turned to be one of the best remakes I've ever played, this game is definitely here for fans of the original but most of all for new players to experience the iconic story of James Sunderland in search of his late wife.

Total War: Warhammer II might not be a revolutionary and groundbreaking title that reinvents the strategy genre. However, it also does not aspire to be one. Instead, it takes the familiar and beloved formula and polishes it even more. The result is not only one of the best games in the Total War series, but an excellent strategy game in itself.

The port has some bugs it needs ironing out prior to its release, but other than that, we're looking at a solid, well put up port for an amazing game that PC owners that didn't have a PlayStation console yet, should definitely try.

While the story is weird and convoluted, the gameplay of both it's single-player and multi-player modes makes Halo Infinite the best shooter of 2021. Quite frankly it might be the best shooter of the past couple of years.

This is the last review for the Nintendo Switch! And the console is going out (sort of) with a bang with one of the best RPGs from the Wii U era, with some really great QoL improvement but the same old beloved game.

Diablo IV is not just a great game by Blizzard. The company sorely needed that win - that one game that might drag it out of the mud, and Diablo IV with its great story, atmosphere, sound and world - may be the one to do it.

Rocket League on the Nintendo Switch is simply Rocket League. And why should it change? The graphics are a bit worse than it’s bigger console brethren but other than that this version offers so much more: New Cars and Hats, additional options to play with friend and the ability to go fully portable with a game about freedom of movement. This port can be summed up by two words: “No Problem.”

While the game is still a classic and fun to play, the fact that players with HDD simply can't enjoy this game like the rest of their PC brethren, basically means that you either upgrade your PC, or won't enjoy this game.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is an excellent 2D platform game that utilizes tight controls, amazing level design and great visuals to deliver an impressive experience to the player and a faithful port of the WiiU classic that you can play anywhere.

Chaotic, crazy, and unbridled is the main description I can tell to those who ask what I briefly think of Mario Kart World - it is a great and very fun racing game that includes a huge amount of tracks, characters, vehicles, and crazy driving abilities that come together into one world full of pure pleasure, all while offering impressive graphics, a quality soundtrack, and buttery smooth performance.

The only thing that keeps this game from becoming one of the best Character Action games ever made and a must buy for fans of the genre is funnily enough, the Nintendo Switch itself - The console and company that gave it life in the first place. Great level design and very fun ideas are being held back by mediocre graphics and an unstable framerate.

Even though Resident Evil 7 Biohazard ditches the third person point of view to a first person and a more intimate story, it does an amazing job of bringing back its roots which made the series so successful. The extraordinary work that was done in the different game departments such as story telling, audio, gameplay and graphics will keep me from sleeping at night and remembering it as a great experience.

Ghost of Yotei is a worthy sequel to its predecessor, and while it doesn't necessarily excel in an interesting plot, it's still a polished, fun, and exceptionally beautiful action-adventure game, reminding us once again that Sony (and Sucker Punch, of course) are here to stay. The methods for particularly impressive and satisfying exclusive titles.

I feel like I'm repeating my young self here: Final Fantasy XII is an amazing RPG, and it holds up exceptionally well even 11 years after it's initial release. This PS4 remastering does it justice not only in the visual department but also by exposing the game to many gamers who missed out on this late FF entry. As an RPG fan I loved FFXII on the PS2, and it isn't going to change with this great remaster. What a year the PS4 is having.

Fans of the Extraction Shooter genre, rejoice - there's a new king in the neighborhood, and his name is ARC Raiders, and it earns this title thanks to an addictive gameplay loop, quality sound design, along with impressive graphics and excellent performance.

New year, same old philosophy by Sony: If a game that was only available on PS5 comes to PC, makes sure it has all possible features, works great, has awesome optimization, controls fantastically and gives the best experience it can to its users.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is one of the best 2D-Action games this year, with amazing visuals and an incredible combat system that rewards fast reflexes and strategy.

From the moment you turn it on, the game is just oozing with joy and family fun. This game takes the best parts of Dark Moon and Luigi's Mansion 1 and combines them to create a wonderful experience.

I'm reading all the articles, the review, the praise, and while I understand the hype - this is a fantastic Dark Fantasy RPG with great combat and fun quest designs, it also has some of the most frustrating and infuriating gameplay mechanics I have seen in a while. They make Dragon's Dogma 2 feel like a soft reboot, rather than a sequel that improves on the downsides of its predecessor.

Dragon Quest XI brings in the old to the new, but any doubt I had about it may be too old-school for its own good were thrown out of the window - this kind of JRPG belongs in the modern era gaming.

Roguelikes can be divisive, I know - but that shouldn't deter you from playing what is an excellent PS5 exclusive and most definitely, it's biggest game in 2021 so far.

A game that was made by fans, but has the word “Professional” written all over it. Sonic Mania is the best 2D Sonic game ever made and a crowning achievement in both platforming games and video game music. Everything in this game was made with love and care that Sonic fans desperately needed after Sonic 4. The old levels feel fresh and new, the new levels are absolutely amazing, the music is one of the best things in this game and there is just so much to do it feels overwhelming at times. Sonic Mania is a must have for Sonic The Hedgehog fans, fans of the platforming genre and anyone who grew up in the early 90's and just wants to feel like a kid again.

This new collaboration between Ubisoft and Nintendo doesn't just strive to be a better game than its predecessor: It expands and builds on it's foundations amazingly to create on of the best games on the Nintendo Switch.

Samus Returns is a return to form for our beloved hero and franchise. The game is fun and while inferior to AM2R in my eyes and fudges the atmosphere part, still has great graphics and music which make for a fantastic game for the 3DS and makes us finally say that Metroid is back.

Wasteland 3 is one of the best RPG's of 2020. Your choices matter, your build matters, everything you do matters. You don't just play this game, you live in it.

Meetup at Bellabel is a fantastic expansion to an otherwise fantastic game, the problems present tehmselves when some of the content is unavailable at all if you don't have friends to play co-op levels with or worse, have only one Switch console to play with.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom took quite a gamble when it decided to abandon large parts of the winning formula of the Zelda games we know, but the result is a creative, fun and very special game that somehow manages to be one of the best games of the beloved series. With that being said, a slight performance drops and discomfort in regards to controlling the echoes can be a bit annoying, so it's not as perfect a game as I hoped it would be.

The Outer Worlds is the Bethesda RPG you always wanted, but it's not made by Bethesda. This is one of the finest RPG experiences that let you take complete control of your storyline, and it's one hell of a ride.

For those of you who have not experienced the game and are looking for the best way to play, there is no doubt that Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered is your answer. Even if the last time you played was 7 years ago on the PS4 version, I would tell you that this is an upgrade that is worth your time and money. This is a facelift that does a favor to the original game and improves its visibility in every way, just don't expect changes in gameplay or additional content.

Houston, we have a problem - i can't stop playing Starfield, despite its flaws. If you're looking for a Sci-Fi space RPG, this is the game for you to sink hundreds of hours on, even though its main plot is not interesting, its side content is more than enough, with engaging combat, addicting ship building system and more.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a worthy and particularly enjoyable continuation of the beloved brand's renewed series, thanks to fun and challenging battles that are filled with satisfying mechanics.

What a way to launch a new console: Spider-Man: Miles Morales is everything Uncharted: The Lost Legacy wanted to be but couldn't, giving us a whole new Spider-Man adventure packed in a smaller, tighter game. Better graphics, awesome soundtrack and improved combat make this game a joy to play and a must have game for PS5 owners.

Silent Hill f will probably be one of the more divisive Silent Hill titles, but it is a good game for people who are interested in the series to get a good taste of it and maybe get into the fog with us, especially before the remake for Silent Hill comes out.

There is literally no way around it: The Witcher 3 on Nintendo Switch is one of the best things that have ever happened to us as gamers. Being able to play one of the best games ever created on a handheld system wherever you are is astounding and amazing.

One of 2021's biggest Switch games just got a lot bigger with this great expansion that MH fans definitely should try out themselves. Great new monsters, new maps and new weapons and gear - all in Sunbreak.

Two of Platinum Games's finest games in a convenient package for everyone to enjoy, though the lack of extra content hurts the overall experience a bit.

When The Wonderful 101 clicks, it's an amazing experience, though it takes time to get there with the sloppy control schemes and bad frame pacing.

Destiny 2 is a good game; the only problem is that it never goes beyond that title. I had a very positive experience with the game: The gameplay is still awesome, the planets look a lot bigger and prettier, the loot system is great and the missions during the end game are fantastic, but the lackluster story mode, boring side missions and use of microtransactions hold it back just a bit.

Return to Monkey Island is a triumph in almost every aspect, yeah sure - the backtracking dating to the quests of old is still pervasive and annoying, but the game has charm, excellent writing and fantastic voice acting that push it forward and make is a joy to play.

Kirby did it again: Nintendo and HAL Labs gave us one of the best games in the Kirby franchise, with amazing visuals, great soundtrack and most importantly: incredible and fun gameplay. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is simply a must have for Switch owners.

Dark atmosphere, grim locations and outright horrifying enemies and dungeons, make this game a gem of an RPG that sets itself apart from anything else on the system. The use of the Nintendo Switch’s touch screen is great and adds to the experience even more.

Tunic demands all of your attention to experience its world and mysteries as intended. Fortunately, with excellent world design, fun and diverse gameplay and extraordinary ways to keep you interested in what to come next, it truly deserves that investment and focus.

The Prince of Persia gets its first game in a very long time, and what a triumphant return that it. With great combat, fluid motion, great map design and other fantastic gameplay elements, this game elevates itself and stands out in the landscape of Metroidvania games. What an excellent beginning to 2024.

Wow, this was unexpected to say the least. Who would've thought one of the deepest, most tactical games of this year would come out of a collaboration between Mario and Rabbids? But it is – with an amazing battle system, a rewarding challenge beautiful world and great musical score, the game cements itself as a must-buy for Switch owners who like a good tactics game.

Crash 4 has all the elements of a good Crash Bandicoot game: From silly but loveable characters to challenging yet fun gameplay, it excels at giving the player tons to do and tons to see. Too bad that Toys for Bob cranked the difficulty to "Unfair and beyond", as some of the levels create some really frustrating moments in the game.

Anno 117 has quite a few systems that are forgettable at best or need significant improvement, but on the other hand, it does way more things well and brings a new and refreshing spirit to the RTS genre. But above all, it is a great City Builder that stands up to the biggest challenge trapping the player into the "one last thing" loop.

The story can feel a bit too grandiose for it's own good, but the great combat, wonderful graphics and absolutely amazing monster collecting elements of the game are more than enough to solidify it as one of the best JRPG games on the Switch to date.

This is a fantastic racing sim game that like its fierce competition over at Sony, knows how to balance arcade gameplay with some realism in regard to weather and track conditions. It also helps that it looks and plays great.

This superb port for this amazing game brings Skyrim to the Nintendo Switch to showcase what the console is best at – delivering great game anywhere and anytime. The port is done well with great graphics, all the DLC, very stable performance and great use of the Switch Amiibo and motion control functionality. The only place the game really suffers is the price tag which is way high for its name.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the best Marvel games ever released. It has a deep original story that becomes personal with every choice you make , a combat system that may start slow but holds some of the best moments of teamwork and explosive action, and amazing graphics and soundtrack. If you’re a Marvel fan, this is a game you’ll enjoy.

Nine Sols is one of those games that once you get into, you'll probably have a hard time stopping, and the reasons are understandable - the high-quality combat system alone manages to keep you in the thick of things, the boss battles provide a challenge that is one of the most satisfying things you can give yourself, and the exploration experience feels great and also provides an impressive level of content and things for you to experience during your adventure.

A great comeback for the series, Streets of Rage 4 is a great game, with amazing gameplay and a killer soundtrack. It's a bit lacking in the extra content department, but what IS there, is great.

This port is really well made and runs super well on all devices I tried it on including the Steam Deck, with a nice properties screenm with DLSS 4 support, tho lacking FSR 4 and still using FSR 3. With all the dlcs included, this is the best way to experience Stellar Blade.

There is no doubt that Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is an excellent game. Like in the previous games in the series, it features a brilliant story, challenging puzzles and intense combat which are all better than ever. Chloe and Nadine prove to be a wonderful team and it seems like this isn't their last treasure hunt adventure together. However, The Lost Legacy can be labeled as a "very big DLC" for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. Hence, the campaign is not very long and all the mechanics are pretty much the same as in Uncharted 4. If you haven't played Uncharted 4 yet, you might want to do that before picking The Lost Legacy because it could ruin and spoil your story. If you did play Uncharted 4, then The Lost Legacy is a must.

Soulcalibur VI has it's problems, but it's still a great return to form for the franchise and fine fighting game we'll probably see in next years EVO going full swing.

NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound is a welcome and very flattering addition to the brand's world of content, providing us with a reminder of how 2D platform games are one of the best game styles in the industry as long as they're done right. The game, while relatively short, is full of great challenges, maddening combat, and a satisfying arsenal of abilities, all while providing us with a very cute storyline and a wealth of things to discover and collect.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is a game that delivers everything that it promised and so much more. Amazing gameplay, excellent game design, fantastic graphics and absolutely mind blowing soundtrack by Tee Lopes mark this game as another great success by DotEmu, and one of the best games of 2022.

Hogwarts Legacy lives up to fans' expectations and gives us an immersive experience with its vast map full of riddles and mysteries to find. The innovative challenges and fun combat makes the world even livelier with activities in every corner. Magic has never felt more real.

Resident Evil Village is a love letter to old and new fans of the series, while including the style of puzzles of the old games with the newer action aspects of the series. Right now this is my favorite game in the series and Capcom might need to reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant even when they reach their 30th anniversary.

An incredible game by Thunder Lotus Games who managed to tackle one of life's greatest tragedies with amazing grace. The beautiful storytelling, combined with the slow paced gameplay simply benefit every part of this wonderful journey.

Jusant has all the ingredients of the best indie games. It shows with how much love it was made in its touching story, impressive sound design and one of a kind gameplay. But Jusant so relying on its climbing that unfortunately you will not be able to enjoy it if you don't like the way the game treats it, and the boring first half hour doesn't do justice to the rest of the game. Beyond that its a smooth climbing to great heights which make the game a very cool experience.

Sonic Racing Crossworlds is the 2nd kart racing game to come out this year, it's probably not a direct competitor for Mario Kart Worlds but it has some qualities that Worlds definitely miss.

Assassin's Creed: Origins is the best in the series. This breathtaking recreation of Ancient Egypt is truly something to witness. With a beautiful setting, a huge open world with tons of content and side quests with more plot than you can think of, Origins will grab you the moment you step in the Animus and won't let go until you've had your fill.

While the combat is a bit dated and a bit on the easy side - it's still fun and it complements how great the story, characters, and music are. Couple all those with one of the best-looking games on the platform and you get one hell of a remake.

Foundation's third season is by far the most intense and the series best one yet. With high production values, great CGI and an amazing story that wraps all of its characters wonderfully - This is one of the best sci-fi shows around.

Final Fantasy XV is not the game Square Enix promised us. It’s not an open world game that everyone would enjoy, and even though it looks like they have done a great deal in making it more accessible to newcomers, it has more improving to do. If you are a die-hard Final Fantasy fan, you will have a great time thanks to a beautiful world, easy to learn and fun combat mechanics and a classic story about friendship and love.

With the good outweighing the bad, Berserk Boy is another good game for an indie industry that isn't afraid to try put out fun and small games. It does need ironing out in some places but all in all, this is a great game.

Konami has pulled off a great collection here, filled with great GBA games (and a bonus one from the SNES), awesome new features and great presentation. I have very few gripes with this collection - it's a must-have for Castlevania and Metroidvania enthusiasts.

PES 18 delivers the best soccer experience on the market so far but it fails in bringing a complete package to it fans. Soccer fan who love to play soccer-sim will love this game, the rest who's searching for more modes like Career or Build-a-team mode better squint to its competitor.

From your first moments with the game till the first win in blackout, COD: Black Ops 4 is one of the best ones in the series, even though the single-player campaign's absence is felt.

Calling NieR Replicant the best "Remaster" I've played would be weird considering the fact that I haven't played the original. But, Yoko Taro managed to take a 10 year old game and bring it to current-gen consoled almost flawlessly, and that is all there is to say.

Ghost Of Tsushima is Sony's swan song, the perfect game to wrap up this generation and a line of amazing exclusives that came out for the PS4. It encourages exploration in a unique way, and tells a story about a man who has to stand against everything he was taught, and it's definitely one you wouldn't want to miss.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition keeps its original charm and is only improving on it with better graphics, more characters and voice lines.

After a shaky few years for the beloved brand, I am happy to say that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 returns this series to a fairly high place in the list of the best FPS games in the industry - the campaign is excellent, the multiplayer is full of action, and even that all the good things are wrapped up in COD HQ that makes the experience very difficult. At the end, almost everything that Black Ops 6 tries to do it does great, and whether you are new to the series or not, it is one of the best games it has ever known.

Astro's Playroom is charming, fun and makes amazing use of all the new Dualsense features. Is it a perfect game? No, not at all - it's quite short and too easy. But this is probably the best game Sony could've shipped with PS5 consoles.

Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice is a game of exploration and puzzles. You solve the puzzles with almost no help from the game and get into battles with mighty demons. After a lot of puzzles and demons you fight an amazingly done boss. While fighting and solving you will constantly hear voices caused by your character's mental illness. It's a really creepy game which involves a lot of monsters and creatures that will attack and try to make you weaker and insecure. The game is a huge and wonderful experience that everyone should play.

Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is a fun high-paced racing game that isn't just there to cater for your nostalgic feeling. It's also there to be a top-tier kart-racing game. It's definitely not too simple and not too hard either, and takes a bit of practice in order to win it. It's Beautifully colorful, full of fun customization options and a large amount of tracks to master. The different modes with the addition of battle mode makes it even more diverse than the Mario Kart games. The Online may require fixing, but we all know it was meant to be a couch co-op and not a ranked online multiplayer.

It falls short in more places than I'd hope, but KH3 is still a good, enjoyable game, even if the story and some worlds take it down a couple of notches.

While a bit too similar to it's predecessor, Octopath Traveler II is still a fantastic JRPG, that hits all the right notes... Quite literally, as it also has one of the best OSTs in recent memory.

I will give Splatoon 3 the highest regard anyone can give to a sequel: It makes Splatoon 2 look dated and redundant in comparison. The many improvements Splatoon 3 has makes is the superior game and the best in an already incredible series.
