    While not the best one in the series, Super Mario Party is one of the best Mario Party games of the past few years with great mini-games and extra modes to its name.

    While the game boasts some improvements over last year's iteration of the game, it still feels like same game overall. If FIFA 20 on Switch won't shake up things drastically, this would be the last FIFA game you'll need on the Switch.

    The first episode of Life is Strange 2 looks very ambitious and promising. The change in the game's environment from urban to road-trip reflects its different but interesting story of survival and political drama and despite it's slow start, episode 1 includes all the small things that will probably make the entire season a big and unforgettable experience.

    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.

    Shadow Of The Tomb Raider is a mixed experience. The plot is weak but the solid gameplay and challenge tombs will make you want to come back and finish the last entry in the trilogy.

    Forza Horizon 4 is a must have for any car enthusiast. It sports beautiful graphics and views, an awesome soundtrack and an addictive gameplay experience.

    Micro-transactions and a very flat career mode kind of spoil what is the best basketball game this year.

    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.

    I came in expecting a lot, and I actually got a lot more than I bargained for. This is one of the more captivating, tactical and rewarding games of 2018.

    While not the perfect JRPG, Octopath Traveler has too many merits and good qualities that it's impossible for me to not recommend it.

    Vampyr has a fine, interesting story about 1918 London. It contains everything we would like to hear from a Sherlock-Holmes story: An intelligent protagonist, a mysterious antagonist and a gothic London. Despite that, the gameplay isn't as polished as I would like and the technical problems are too common.

    Detroit: Become Human is a masterpiece of storytelling, perfectly executed and beautiful. The acting is superb, the action is intense and the tears are already dropping.

    Yakuza 6 is a weird, fun, bizarre but most importantly, fitting conclusion to an epic saga of one video game character. The game is fun in all the best ways possible but bear in mind that it can feel a bit dated sometimes.

    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.

    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.

    Nintendo went ahead and cemented itself as not only the oddball of the gaming industry but as the king of left field. The Labo has some great ideas stored inside of it and the experience itself of building the Toy-Cons was quite enjoyable – albeit a bit shallow in terms of some of the games.

    Time Carnage is coming to a repleted game genre with too many rail shooters. It's not a bad game, but it's also not a good game. On the bright side - the tracking on the Move controller is very smooth and accurate.

    God of War joins as the main star of Sony's arsenal of successful exclusive games and there is no doubt that every gamer with a PlayStation 4 system must play it.

    NetherRealm Studios are making a great job by keeping Injustice 2 alive and maintained. The addition of new characters and the multiverse are doing its job for keeping me playing the game for hours, all by myself. In addition, it makes a great party game and bust-a-friend game for a pizza night. I think they should get rid of the gear system, but considering that you can disable gear effect by playing competitive mode, it can be eschewed.

    Kirby Star Allies is a fun little game with a lot of interesting characters, amazing new powers, great gameplay and an old-new mechanic that keeps players guessing and makes it a fun party game. Those of you who want a challenge might want to look elsewhere but those of you who are looking for fun should definitely check this game out.

    We Were Here Too delivers a really successful escape-room experience. It contains some challenging riddles and wonderful environment. But it very short (1.5~ hours) and the lack of replicability is recognized. But hey, it's still cheaper and long-lasting than a real escape room.

    Far Cry 5 is a mixed bag. On the one hand, you get a dark story about an extremist group taking over a town. On the other hand, you get a bear named Cheeseburger who smiles while mauling his enemies. The music is fantastic, the AI is terrible, and the co-op is a lot of fun, as long as you don't expect it to be the next Borderlands. There's a lot of fun to be had in Far Cry 5, but if Ubisoft only took the time to fix those minor problems, it could have been perfect.

    Sea of Thieves came with a big promise to give us hours of content and a fun open-world using a funny and non-serious environment. It succeeded in delivering the open world and funny feel but missed the content. Eventually, it depends on what happens next with future updates from Rare.

    Bayonetta 2 is Action video gaming perfected. The game is simply great, with amazing set pieces and a crazy story, but the real highlight of the game is the combat that simply thrives on letting the player figure out the best ways to tackle a fight without holding your hand. With the extra modes and the added bonus of the first game, there is no getting around it – this game is a masterpiece and a must have on the Switch.

    Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is a good online competitive fighting game. It has a lot of depth and complexity that stems from the mechanics this game presents to the player. I just wish the game had more significant offline modes other than the gauntlet and sparring matches and that the story was handled better.

    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.

    Lost Sphear is a nice little JRPG, but with all the hype that surrounded it, I believe that nice is just not enough. The soundtrack is awesome and most characters are funny and cool, but the rest of the game screams mediocrity. For an indie title, that isn’t a bad game, but for a Square Enix published title? Not good enough.

    Monsters of the Deep is not very innovative with the fishing mechanic and the story is not exciting but boy did I enjoyed every second of it. From the incredible graphics to soothing sounds and music, this game is a must for everyone who's looking for a game to lay back, relax and have a cold one. Daemon battles are a blast but my favourite game type was free fishing.

    I really don’t have a lot of bad things to say about Celeste by Matt Makes Games. The game tackles difficult topics with amazing grace that we usually don’t see in this media. The game itself is extremely challenging, fun and filled with a great sense of accomplishment.

    VR Karts features nothing but being an exclusive karts game on the VR platforms. The gameplay isn’t tight enough, it lacks original fun content and even the power-ups are totally boredom. With so many good karts game on the gaming history, it’s surprising that a game developer will deliver such a bad experience.
