    L.A Noire has remained a great action-adventure game and a strong detective thriller, filled with great cases, investigations and interrogations. The new graphics look better, though the difference is not very significant. The city of angels is alive and vibrant but barely includes any extra content. If you played L.A Noire sometime in the last few years, you would probably want to grab it for a better playthrough. If you haven't played L.A Noire at all, it would be a crime to miss it out.

    While not adding too much to the formula, Worms W.M.D’s back to the roots philosophy is welcomed. The new vehicles and weapons are great and the fact it’s on the Nintendo Switch enables you to set up a Worms party anywhere you go. It’s a great game that Switch owners should pick up.

    Sonic Forces is uninspiring and disappointing. The game excels with its’ great music and robust character design, but most of the levels have been lazily put together, the story is rushed and the graphics are subpar. It is not a bad game, just feels OK-ish. The guys at Sonic Team should look at this game and improve going forward.

    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.

    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.

    South Park: The Fractured But Whole preserves its last game atmosphere and fun. Although it failed delivering a trippy story and characters as the old one with none of the memorable moments and characters as its predecessor. On that, Ubisoft shoved in a microtransactions system which seems to squeeze money by removing part of the game. Recommended for South Park's fans only.

    I never thought I would actually recommend a first person shooter that runs in 720p and below that and in 30FPS, but here I am actually liking the game. Doom is still Doom with the fast paced action we all know and love and the great music and OST. It's true that there are some framerate and audio issues with the game but still, kudos to Panic Button for creating this amazing port.

    LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is the game that will reunite you with all of your favorite heroes, Each one with its own set of skills and abilities, each one with a part in the main storyline. Some technical bugs may occur, but it won't take away from this MARVELous experience.

    After three years of development, which were converted to 20 hours of playtime, The Evil Within 2 has totally unlocked its predecessor's potential. The wonderful story, the blood-freezing atmosphere, the big variety of horrific monsters and the great progress systems make The Evil Within 2 one of the best survival-horror games of the last few years. Indeed, the game is not bug-free, but those technical issues rarely happen and don't hurt the overall experience. If you like the genre (and particularly the previous title), The Evil Within 2 will be one of your best nightmares yet.

    This is the best Call of Duty in years, with great multiplayer and an awesome campaign (even though it doesn’t live up to its fullest potential). The game reminds me of Modern Warfare with an emphasis on a moving and meaningful story coupled with addicting multiplayer action creating a satisfying and wholesome shooting experience.

    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.

    In my eyes, Nintendo has created the Magnum Opus of 3D Sandbox Open-World Platforming with this game. From start to finish, this game oozes with fun, great gameplay, amazing worlds and vistas and absolutely phenomenal music. The fact you have to use motion controls in order to get the full use of Cappy is weird but that's the only bad thing I can say about this game. Nintendo is spoiling us this year.

    WWE 2K18 is a big improvement over the last iteration of the franchise. The gameplay is great and the new MyPlayer mode is better in almost every way. The game falls flat in the sound department with no voice acting and the annoying commentary make the experience less realistic but it is still a fun game.

    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.

    This is the best Dragon Ball experience ever been put to a handheld (at least if Dragon Ball FighterZ isn't coming to switch). The game has its problems like the cut in framerate and the lack of anti-aliasing, but the new additions to the game, and the great motion controls help this version of the game stand out.

    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.

    Middle Earth: Shadow of War can be defined as “The game Shadow of Mordor should have been.” The game is good and fun on the one hand, its new and improved Nemesis and Gear systems are wonderful and make its epic combats even better, especially the siege battles. On the other hand, the game suffers from a bad narrative and wrong division to acts, despite its great plot, and the many side missions begin to feel repetitive at some point.

    Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite has the heart of a warrior but a tad ugly one. The game’s gameplay is still top notch, with a great combo system and an addition of nice new features such as the infinite stones and the return to 2v2 battles. But the weird character design, mediocre story and omission of key fighters such as Wolverine and Magneto really prevent it from reaching its full potential.

    This is the best portable FIFA experience, period. The graphics look surprisingly nice, the option of playing Ultimate Team anywhere is an option that many football fans were craving for and the great frame rate make this game a must buy for Nintendo and football fans. Now, is the game worth a second purchase if you have the PS4 version already? Probably not. Compared to the PS4 and Xbox One, this version is a second division team.

    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.

    Cuphead offers a unique combination of art and sound, presenting one of the most funny and bizarre shows in the current game generation. Its gameplay and co-op can hold many fun hours and a strong replay-ability attribute. Recommended for everyone.

    Project CARS 2 continues Slightly Mad Studios community model of game development, and adds more content and accessibility into what was already a great title. what it lacks in graphical disadvantage to it's competitors it makes up for deep customization options. Proves one of the best driving experience you can find on the PS4.

    XCOM 2: War of the Chosen doesn’t feel like DLC. It has tons of new and great content ranging from new soldiers and races, to the new research labs and missions and not to mention the great new enemies - The Chosen. If you feel like you’re done with everything XCOM 2 has to offer and Mario + Rabbids just can’t satisfy your need for tactical gameplay you should definitely pick this one up.

    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.

    Gravity Rush 2 feels like a true sequel to the original game. Kat feels and looks amazing, the world she lives in is astounding and the OST and sound design really give this game an anime movie look. The game looks like it would've benefited from a higher frame rate, and the stealth missions do feel dull, but overall it's a good game and a great addition to your PS4 library.

    The Long Dark is a beautiful game that brings an almost perfect mix of gameplay, sound and design. The survival aspect of the game is one, if not the most advance there is today in any game. The first two episode of the first season does not attract the player so much, but they show the potential in the future episodes. In The Long Dark you get an unique player experience that give you many moments of frustration and satisfaction, and epic personal survival stories. The Long Dark gives you the survival experience that you won't get anywhere else.

    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.

    Life is Strange: Before the Storm Ep. 1 is an emotional roller-coaster. It features a wonderful plot that develops slowly but brilliantly. Moreover, the episode's ending leaves you craving for more. The dialogues and the characters are exceptional, especially the ones that involve the new Backtalk ability, which make you feel like you are an inseparable part of the conversation. However, the lack of the Rewind system is felt greatly, so you will have to use your use instincts and gut feelings.

    For a AA game, Matterfall is not that bad. It features great combat which requires both physical and mental agility. Other than that, it lacks loads of content. If you can overcome the hard-to-control mechanics and the long loading times, there is no doubt that you are going to enjoy that game, but only on the short term. If you are top-score hunters, Matterfall is the game for you. If not, you should probably look for another game where you destroy aliens.
