Nintendo has managed to create a shooter that is both competitive, and that everybody can enjoy. And with that they created one of the most unique games on the Wii U right now. The presentation is amazing and the gameplay is fun; the single player is okay.- XGN

Teslagrad is a great puzzle platformer. The magnets really add something different to the puzzles and the game is well thought-out. Unfortunately it's a bit short, but the replay value of Teslagrad is amazing and you'll keep playing it just to discover more.- XGN

UFC Undisputed 3 is easily the best game in the franchise. It's suitable for beginners as well as UFC veterans. Despite a few flaws it's still a must buy for fans of the sport.- XGN

Overcooked beautifully combines elements of chaos, coordination and skill to create one of the most original and fun local co-op games of this time.- XGN

Football Manager 2018 is still the best and most complete managers game. The new features are really nice, but they aren't as innovative as we wanted to see. It would be nice if Sports Interactive takes more risks for Football Manager 2019.- XGN

Valkyria Chronicles 4 went back to the roots of the original. The gameplay has stayed nearly the same after nine years, with the exception of the new Grenadier class, but it still stands as firm as a rock. If you enjoyed the original, you will enjoy VC4.- XGN

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 expands its already huge amount of content with a brand new prequel story in the shape of Torna - The Golden Country. This is essentially a brand new game and it even improves upon its predecessor.- XGN

Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is a must have for Naruto fans. Although the gameplay is not really refreshing, it still looks and feels great on the current gen consoles. Even people who are not familiar with Naruto will enjoy this game a lot.- XGN

It's quite remarkable that a monster hit such as World of Tanks has managed to adapt so easily from the PC to the Xbox 360 ecosystem. It's like Wargaming's tank game should have been a console game in the first place.- XGN

Super Stardust Delta is the best downloadable launch game on the PlayStation Vita. It's beautiful, addicting, challenging and very cheap. A definite must-have.- XGN

Dragon Quest Builders is a great game which borrows a few features from Minecraft. But with those, it does it's own thing. This creates a game with huge world filled with secrets and hours of gameplay and a few minor misses. Worth every penny!- XGN

Metro Exodus takes a different approach than previous installments in the Metro-franchise. The game feels more like STALKER and that's a good thing. The only question is how much of the old Metro-soul remains. A great experience, but a different Metro.- XGN

Lords of the Fallen is a challenging but fair game. It does look a lot like and plays like Dark Souls, but that's one if its strengths. With the addition of a good XP system and some fun challenges, Lords of the Fallen is good RPG to have for your next-gen consoles.- XGN

Nintendo and Team Ninja have created a beautiful Metroid game that digs deeper into the past of Samus. This is without a doubt one of the best Wii games of 2010.- XGN

Criterion Games proved last October that Need for Speed: Most Wanted had some quality race work. But things can always be better. The Wii U version provides all the fun from the original game but in a greater and more complete package.- XGN

Rocksmith has a good soundtrack and actually teaches you how to play the guitar. No more pressing plastic buttons, it's time to get serious. But because of that, newcomers might get frightened since it's really hard work to master a song. The minigames add a lot of fun while managing to keep you learning.- XGN

A magical adventure you don't want to miss. You'll be entertained for over twenty hours with witty remarks and great overall humor. It's an amazing game that deserves your attention.- XGN

World of Warcraft is already 15 years old, but you won't notice that playing Shadowlands. The new expansion offers interesting new customization options through the Covenants, the new areas look stunning and Torghast adds a new challenge for players. While there is more focus on the story, it does mean a much more linear experience however and the new antagonist, The Jailer, hasn't convinced us yet. Hopefully, that changes as Shadowlands gets new content updates, such as the upcoming raids.- XGN

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a great adventure that's great to play. The colorful design brings this 3D Kirby adventure to life, while additions like the mouthful powers add are a fun new twist to the gameplay. It's a shame the co-op is a bit poor due to player 2 not getting the full range of powers. Nonetheless, this is a Kirby game that is worth your time.- XGN

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls brings the new, refreshing content the fans have been waiting for. With the new storyline, the Crusader and the Adventure Mode, you can spend hours bashing monsters again. Sadly, in some ways the expansion looks more like a big patch which makes Reaper of Souls look a bit too expensive.- XGN

Dragon Quest XI is not flawless. It suffers from several tropes within the JRPG genre, such as a slow start and a generic overarching story. Despite these flaws however, it's stil a magnificent adventure full of interesting stories and great characters.- XGN

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions is a delightful return to one of the best Mario games ever made. The game looks colourful and pretty and is yet again very fun to play. One of the best 3DS games of 2017 has arrived.- XGN

More than a decade after its original release, Radiant Silvergun can still be considered a great classic. Its incredibly solid gameplay en depth create an unmatched experience. Casual and younger gamers should watch out though, since the game is just as hard as back in the day and can demand some serious grinding.- XGN

Bayonetta has become a very good game which offers plenty of diversity. Everything looks good and the game contains a fine dose of humor. Put this game on the list of Kratos and Dante. This game is a must have for everyone!- XGN

Mario and the Rabbids come together and that means chaos, but in a good way. Ubisoft absolutely took this one home. The game is challenging, looks great and combines two franchises into a new fantastic one for the Switch.- XGN

DiRT Rally races to the current-gen consoles. It brings a worthy competitor in a tight market with near perfect handling. Although it lacks content in certain areas, it is a must buy for gamers in need of a challenge.- XGN

Despite the battles being a bit of a letdown, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a must have for those who love plot driven games. Up until the very last moment you're still not sure of what's going on, but that's not annoying. Far from it: every single plot twist just makes it harder to put your console away.- XGN
