    Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
    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.

    Paper Mario: The Origami King
    The battle system leaves a lot to be desired, but that's really the only bad thing I can say about this game. We waited for a really great Paper Mario game for more than a decade, and here it is.

    Wanderer
    Wanderer is the right game to show what VR can really do, with some amazing ideas being pulled off here in smart ways that keep the player engaged throughout the entire experience .

    Returnal
    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.

    Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
    The Nintendo x Warriors game franchise does it again: Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is an excellent game, taking the Warriors and Musou genre to another level of sophistication and fun with this entry.

    Mortal Kombat 11
    Mortal Kombat 11 is not just a sequel to Mortal Kombat X, it's an entirely new genre of fighting game that no one has experienced before. New and veteran players alike will love the new tutorial system as well as the new fighting mechanics that makes every match tense and exciting from beginning to end. The finishers are more brutal than ever and the story mode will make you feel like you are watching a big budget movie. Single player content is quite poor, repetitive and grindy but overall, Mortal Kombat 11 is a huge and fun fighting experience.

    DUSK
    When this game came out in 2018, I missed it entirely. Don't an ignorant fool like I was, and don't miss the opportunity to play Dusk. It a fantastic retro horror shooter that will delight you long after Halloween is over. The Switch port is amazing as well.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising
    Immortals Fenyx Rising is the baby of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Breath of the Wild, and while the latter's inspiration is quite visible here, Immortals charm, be it from its story telling or style, covers up for a lot of the comparisons, making it a unique experience.

    Layers of Fear 2
    Layers of Fear 2 is a strong improvement over the first game, what used to be a copy cat of a cult demo, has found it’s own identity. The port to the Switch is, aside for just a few hiccups here and there, is a perfect port to the portable console and finally brings all Bloober Team's games to the console for everyone to enjoy.

    Of Bird and Cage
    I applaud Capricia Productions, they have managed to capture exactly what they’ve wanted in this game and more. The soundtrack, which is the real highlight here, comes with some of the biggest names in the metal genre, and it’s done so well.

    River City Girls 2
    River City Girls 2 tries to take the Beat-em-up genre to the next level with a plethora of improvements that for the most part pay off greatly. What an incredible game by WayForward.

    Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon
    I really wasn't expecting it to be that good, but here we are: Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is one of this year's most surprising games, with a wonderful story, excellent visuals and music and a smart combat and traversal system that manages to carve its own identity - separate from its Character Action genre roots - and for the better.

    Sid Meier's Civilization VII
    Civilization VII is a great game, it looks phenomenal and is packed with content like only this game series can deliver. If you've always wanted to learn this game series but found it too intimidating, this is the game you've been waiting for. The seventh game in the series simplifies and makes things much more accessible and is relatively easy to learn. On the other hand, it also adds new things like the crisis system and small improvements all across the board. But not everything is perfect with serious bug issues, the controversial era system and the noticeable absence of many leaders and personalities.

    State of Decay 2
    Microsoft and Undead Studios succeeded in delivering a good Xbox-exclusive game. The coop and loot elements are well done with smooth gameplay and upgrading mechanic. Unfortunately, the huge amount of bugs sometimes cause it to be unplayable. Apparently, due to the latest game patches, the bugs are being fixed quickly.

    Control
    Control is an amazing game that lets you realize your wildest power fantasies. Jesse is a compelling and interesting main character alongside a colorful and wild cast of characters. The gunplay and powers are extraordinary and a lot of fun, and although the technical side of the game suffers from low frame rate and hiccups, I still consider this game as one of the best games of 2019.

    Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition
    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.

    Super Mario 3D All-Stars
    Nintendo could, and should have done more to make this game feel a bit more celebratory, and some omissions are weird, but this collection of games does give us three incredible games on the Nintendo Switch.

    God of War: Ragnarok
    God of War Ragnarok is one of Sony's best games in recent years and it is on PC very quickly after only 2 years of PS jail, it running amazingly with big spec support, however a little too restrictive in gpu options and graphical settings.

    Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game - Complete Edition
    It's great to see Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game back in action on our consoles, and the game has aged great. It's still one of the best beat-em-up games you can find on consoles today.

    Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
    A game worthy of being called a spiritual successor to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and one of the great examples of a very good Kickstarter video game.

    Octopath Traveler II
    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.

    Returnal
    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.

    Shin Megami Tensei V
    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.

    Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
    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.

    Escape from Ever After
    Escape From Ever After is a brisk, 16-hour Paper Mario–style RPG that the reviewer feels surpasses its inspiration through sharp, genuinely funny writing and excellent balance between combat, puzzles, and platforming. Despite a few rough edges in timing-based inputs and platforming precision, its fast pacing, forgiving difficulty, and energetic, saxophone-driven soundtrack make it a standout, must-play entry in the genre.

    NBA 2K18
    NBA 2K18 could’ve just done nothing at all, and simply upgrade some textures and update the new team rosters. But it did try and elevate the series to another level. Some things are a lot better, like the neighborhood for example, but the mediocre MyGM mode and the heavy reliance on microtransactions hold it back a bit. It is still a great game by any means and is still the king of basketball games.

    Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee!
    Even with all its changes, Pokemon Let's Go still feels very much like core Pokemon Games. The games are fun, unique and serve as both a good entry point to the series for newcomers and a basis for the next Pokemon games on the Switch.

    SAROS
    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.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages
    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.

    Resident Evil 7: biohazard
    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.

    Morbid Metal
    Morbid Metal is a promising debut with a combat system that earns real respect. Screen Juice has built something genuinely worthwhile here - a fast, expressive, multi-character action game that holds its own alongside its clear inspirations, even if it hasn't matched them yet. The roguelike structure introduces limitations that blunt some of that momentum, the bugs in the current build are disruptive in a system where precision matters most, and the story hasn't yet justified its ambitions. But the foundation is strong, and Ubisoft's decision to back this small German studio looks, at least so far, like one of the smarter calls they've made in a while. The full release could be something worth getting loud about. [Early Access Score = 65]

    RuneScape: Dragonwilds
    RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an ambitious spin-off that brings the charm of RuneScape to the survival genre, set in the dragon-filled, mysterious continent of Ashenfall. In early access, it offers a compelling foundation with familiar skill systems, creative base-building, and innovative magic mechanics, but stumbles with a thin story, optimization issues, and clunky inventory management. [Early Access Score = 75]
