A game that starts slow but picks up the pace as it goes along. The Escapists 2 is a fun and challenging puzzle game, that as long as you can get by it's rough start. The levels are bigger and create a bigger challenge for the players and the new multiplayer aspect of the game is good, but the monotony of the everyday tasks and the big learning curve of the game can throw off some players.- Vgames

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.- Vgames

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.- Vgames

Overcooked is still one of the best couch co-op games, even with the troubling framerate and weird bugs on the Nintendo Switch. The game keeps the excellent and chaotic gameplay of the original versions of the game, but with the addition of new DLC with harder levels. The game needs to iron out its technical problems before I can recommend it, though.- Vgames

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.- Vgames

OVIVO is a great example for a genius mix between gameplay, soundtrack and design. It is a must have game for anyone that wants to experience story in unique ways to enjoy great music and gameplay. OVIVO is a short game, too short, that feels like a taste from something perfect, and you want more from it.- Vgames

This game actually upsets me in some level, because it's everything we wanted Mighty No. 9 to be, but we didn't get. However, I believe it was worth the wait, as this game is the Megaman game we wanted so bad, with retro visuals, slick 60 FPS performance, and fun gameplay and level design. The game does have a slow start, and some levels do feel tedious at times, but the overall experience is great.- Vgames

If I had to describe Splatoon 2 in a word it would be "fun". The game's new modes are fun, the new weapons are great and the game's performance are incredible, whether we're talking about the 60 FPS mark the game stays on or the stability of the servers. The game could do more in regards to its online lobby system, but everything else is pretty much spot on. Splatoon 2 is a must own for the Nintendo switch.- Vgames

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.- Vgames

Don't let the weird presentation through you off on this one: King of Fighters XIV is the same great game that we all know and love. While the characters do look a lot less lifelike and their animation, particularly in cutscenes, can seem jaggy and stiff, the animation during battles and the awesome, fun and engaging gameplay more than makes up for it. It may not be one of the best entries, but it is worthy of its name.- Vgames

ARMS feels like the first true competitive game for the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo made the game work with both the Motion Controls scheme and the regular controllers. The gameplay is fast and fun, with comebacks and great moves just around the corner. The single player experience is pretty dull, and can be frustrating at times, but the online scene is absolutely great. The game will get more patches and free DLC along the way so it might get fixed in the future, but even in this current state, I believe that ARMS is a game that's not hard to recommend.- Vgames

If two years is the time I had to wait to get a game with this much quality in it, so be it. TEKKEN 7 is one of the best games in the series, with an epic roster full of familiar and new characters, the best graphics in the franchise history and a dedicated and a pretty fun story mode. I'm a little disappointed by the lack of special modes such as the “Scenario Campaign” from the last game but that doesn't make the core gameplay less fun or engaging in any way. The PC port is superb and if you're a Fighting game or TEKKEN enthusiast, you should buy this game.- Vgames

Injustice 2 has everything that fighting fans dream of: rich character roster, smooth gameplay and a strong replay value. With these, Injustice 2 not only rises above its predecessor, but also above most of fighting games available today. NRS proves once again that they are becoming the best fighting game developer of them all. With a short but well written story, wonderful fighting mechanic and the brand new Gear system, you will receive a recipe for a superb fighting game with a slight RPG seasoning.- Vgames

Prey is a fine experience that while engaging and fun, has its fair share of downsides and faults. The story could be more complex and deeper than the shallow story that was presented to us and the PS4 load times can be really frustrating at times. But the gameplay is fun, and the story, while shallow, is still engaging.- Vgames

Kamiko sets up to be a nice little Legend of Zelda clone with great gameplay. Does it capture the same magic Zelda did, though? Not really. The game lacks the same charm and sophistication these games had, and falls short in the length department. But still, it's a good game with fun gameplay that you can play on the go and with a price tag that low I can recommend it to fans of the genre.- Vgames

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is nothing short of a masterpiece. The changes made to this game make it both brand new and familiar. The world the game brings us to is vast, beautiful and breathtaking and the soundtrack and sound design are absolutely phenomenal. As a man who has interest in game design this game is a great lesson in how it's done, as a gamer this was a great game to play and as a long time fan of the series I was just so happy I got to play this game. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was set to be a one of a kind experience and indeed it was.- Vgames

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the definitive Mario Kart 8 experience. The question is, should you buy this game if you already own the game for the Wii U? Not necessarily. If you don't care for the revamped battle mode, new characters and all the DLC then by all means, don't buy this game. But, if you do care about these things or you simply don't own the game and want the best Mario Kart game ever created anywhere you want, this is the game for you.- Vgames

Graceful Explosion Machine is indeed a hidden GEM in the Nintendo e-shop library. It has an addictive and incredibly simple yet complex gameplay, amazing replay value and is extremely cheap at $13. The lack of Co-Op multiplayer does hold it back sometimes and as does the variety of worlds.- Vgames

Drawn to Death has tons of potential, so it's a shame to see almost all of it go down the drain. The game promised a cool and fun arena style shooter with tons of funny and creative weapons and characters, all with the amazing sketchbook art style. What we got instead was a shallow game, full of unnecessary profanity, mostly useless weapons, forgettable soundtrack and an annoying announcer. The art style is cool and the arenas and characters are fun to look at, but even they can't.- Vgames

Persona 5 is hands down the best game in the Persona series. Hell, it well may be the best JRPG of the last decade. Apart from small minor issues, the game itself is a JRPG masterpiece: The graphics and music compliment the style of the game beautifully, the story is the best in the series, the locations and palaces you visit are astounding and the battle system has been revitalized and feels fresh and new. This game didn't just match people's expectations – it created new ones for the future.- Vgames

Basically, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a good game. It offers you a big wide world with many missions and possibilities. It combines the tactical gameplay we all know and love from other Ghost Recon games, with all of these elements spread out on the beautiful map of Bolivia. But its repetitiveness, forgettable story and the trouble finding a decent team make its problems more obvious than ever.- Vgames

Yoko Taro is known to be over the top and a bit crazy. This time this madness, combined with the great minds at Platinum Games, gave birth to an excellent video game I just have to recommend. The story, while a bit convoluted, is moving and beautiful, the gameplay is great and allows freedom of choice in how to tackle battles, the characters are great and the world itself is wonderfully bleak and dark. The game's hard and very hard mode can be a bit too difficult for its own good, and the side quests do tend to be a bit boring and tedious, but the overall experience is amazing.- Vgames

By looking at this game alone, you would've never imagined Guerilla Games' previous works were on FPS games. Horizon: Zero Dawn reaches perfection in almost all of its aspects and it does so with relative ease. Aloy is an amazing character, a true bad-ass with a great story behind her, and the world she lives in is vast and full of interesting and unique characters and secrets. The combat, while a tad lacking, is extremely fun and addictive and the graphics are some of the best seen on the system with breath-taking vistas. If you happen to own a PS4, you should buy this game. If you don't, then you might want a PS4 for this one. Guerilla Games went and set the bar high for future open world games with this one.- Vgames

With Nioh, Team Ninja seems to hit the perfect recipe for compelling gameplay, taking the best elements from the Souls series and combining them with the legacy of Ninja Gaiden, with a pinch of Diablo in the mix. While the high difficulty might be frustrating at times, Nioh is an experience no gamer should miss.- Vgames

EA and DICE have done an amazing job bringing something fresh to the table in picking WW1 as the game's theme. Multiplayer is probably the best thing aspect of the game, and the well-built maps and cool game modes will keep me coming back to Battlefield 1 for the coming months.- Vgames

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a much better game than its predecessor. The game tackles most of the problems I had with the first game by bringing me a much vaster world than before. Even though the first few hours are quite boring, the game has a lot to offer series fans.- Vgames

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.- Vgames

Rico Rodrigues returns once again to his island homeland of Medici. While exploring new areas, armed with a giant mech and a gravity gun like weaponry to aid to the total chaos and destruction. Mech Land assault DLC falls on the same trope of its original release. Repetitiveness ensues almost immediately.- Vgames

Square Enix's decision to separate the game into several episodes and market the game as a “Season” may interrupt with the storytelling of the game, but it also takes the game back to its roots, putting you in a sandbox full of opportunities and choices. Not all of the episodes are on par with each other and the “Opportunities” helping method makes the game feel a bit too easy and straight forward. But other than that, the game is a great addition to the series and fans of the series (especially “Blood Money” fans) would love it.- Vgames

Dishonored 2 is a great game for those who never played the first game and for returning gamers who enjoyed Dishonored. Its challenging gameplay, collectibles and the ability to experience the game’s story from two different points of view are more than enough to keep you interested.- Vgames
