    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.

    Overall, The Inpatient is a mostly disappointing. The game tries to take the background story of Until Dawn and upgrade it using the intriguing "Butterfly Effect" system. Despite its dreadful atmosphere and the unique VR perspective, the story of The Inpatient only gets weaker as you progress. The lack of interesting characters, short lifespan, unchallenging decisions and poor controls makes it feel half-baked.

    Megaton Rainfall tries to pass a god-like experience which fails even on VR. It got the right base with community eager to super-hero games that will break boundaries. Despite all that, The game isn't fun enough, it just left me with a huge VR-sickness and tied-up cables.

    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.

    Brawlout tried to differentiate itself from its inspiration, but ultimately the changes it made, took their toll on the overall experience. The omission of blocking and grabbing is weird and the online could be better, but it’s still a fun game, albeit a bit underwhelming.

    A fantastic story, great characters, awesome music and voice acting, entertaining yet engaging battle system – all these contribute to making Divinity: Original Sin 2 one of the best CRPGs of all time and definitely the best game on PC in 2017.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a good, but not great. The combat is fun, the music is phenomenal and the huge and lush world of Alrest is a joy to venture through. But with all that said, the game is plagued by a messy UI system, almost nonexistent map, weird blade acquiring system, terrible and sometimes mediocre plot. It really looks like the game tried its best not be Xenoblade Chronicles X, and was less concerned with building on it’s predecessor.

    Human: Fall Flat, is a nice puzzle game with funny mechanics that make the first few hours engaging and good but after that the game can get quite frustrating and annoying. The game experience is improved during Co-Op plays, but in regards to the game as a whole, Human: Fall Flat, falls flat.

    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.

    Hob
    Hob is a good game, even if a bit flawed. The platforming is not as good as the combat and the puzzles, and you can sometimes get lost in the world. But even with those problems the beautiful world and good soundtrack does make up for it’s shortcomings. Hob is a good game that PS4 owners with some time on their hand and an itch for a Zelda-like adventure should pick up.

    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.”
