    Yo-Kai Watch 2 Psychic Spirits is the Ultimate version of its predecessors. And that's not a good thing, nor is it a bad thing. The game offers cute creatures, a great soundtrack, but bland fights.

    Total War Warhammer 2 is a worthy successor. A better story, Skaven and Lizardmen as interesting factions and graphics to drool over. Without doubt one of the best fantasy RTS games of the moment. Unfortunately the same problems from TWW 1 return as well.

    Marvel vs Capcom Infinite is a nice game. That is, if you can look past the graphics and animations and don’t mind the slow loading screens. We secretly find it very pleasing to kick some butt with a Ryu and Dante on the same team.

    Billy Lurk is in town and everyone may know it. Death of the Outsider gives you a brand new adventure an although it is a stand alone expansion, it feels like a new game. It keeps you busy for hours and challenges you in every corner.

    WRC 7 is a huge improvement on the previous games. The game looks beautiful, the circuits are exciting and the driving is excellent. Unfortunately the presentation is disappointing and we would like to have more game modes.

    Project CARS 2 is one of the most complete racing games you can find on the market. With plenty of cars, tracks and a dynamic weather system, the game truly delivers. Project CARS 2 is a joy for every car enthusiast.

    NBA 2K18 is a beautiful sports game. The Neighbourhood lets you feel, live and experience basketball and an NBA career. The body-scans allow for much more realism and the new layup and shot system works well. MyTeam is a also true blessing.

    This edition of Rayman Legends offers almost everything the previous versions offered. And for fourty bucks this is a lot. The game looks fantastic and feels everything but old or obsolete. This is simply a must have for Switch owners.

    FIFA 18 perfectly combines amazing graphics with the new motion technology to create an immersive realistic gameplay. EA Sports did a good job with mastering the Frostbite engine.

    Pokkén Tournament DX is an enhanced port of Wii U's Pokkén Tournament. It fixes some of its previous installments problems by simple adding some new Pokémon and having everything available from the get go.

    This is a port but does not feel like one. Still it suffers from the same problems as the original version on 3DS. Next to that the story feels short and it offers not much else. It is a fun game, but it could have been much, much better.

    Metroid Samus Returns is the ultimate remake of a classic Metroid game. With fluent gameplay mechanics and new additions, the new title plays and feels like a brand new Metroid game.

    White Day is a bloody scary game. Not just because it is a horror title, but just as much because of the flaws. It contains a very annoying janitor and a frustratingly precise control setup. Because of this the game doesn't live up to what it could be.

    PES 2018 is one of the best footies available. Its gameplay is addictive and very realistic. Unfortunately the game still hasn't got all official licenses, which is a pain in the ass.

    Bungie does it again with Destiny 2. The game will certainly please veteran players, but is also a good starting point for newcomers. Most of the changes made are positive ones, but unfortunately not all.

    Forget the previous part and give Knack 2 a chance. It proves capable of making a comeback against all odds. Although some features may remind you of the first game too much or are a little too childish, Knack 2 is a good game for both young and old.

    Life is Strange Before the Storm is certainly a game for people who love a good story. It points out interesting themes like bullying, love, friendship, loss and more. The episode feels a little short with two or three hours, but in the end it's worth it.

    Everybody's Golf is a fun game for everybody. But it could have been better. You unlock things, but this takes a lot of time and there are not a lot of surroundings. Besides that this is a game you can play for hours and still have fun.

    Monster Hunter Stories is a special installment in the Monster Hunter franchise. It combines the best of the RPG world with the best from the Monster Hunter games.

    After a long early acces Ark Surival Evolved became a gigantic game in terms of content. Hundreds of hours will be spend building bases, taming dinos en making new friends (or enemies). However fun it all seems, technical issues will impact your experiences.

    Another year, another Madden. Unfortunately no big changes in gameplay, but Longshot is a fun addition to the game. The Frostbite Engine looks nice, but is still kind of buggy. Overall EA gets a pass with a decent Football game.

    Starcraft Remastered is an ode to the amazing original. Blizzard kept it exactly the same as the old title, which means they both play on the same servers, but it also means old annoyances return. But all in all it's a beautiful update for a true classic.

    It's simple: F1 2017 is the best Formula 1 game ever made. Although the visuals definitely need some improvement, this is the best F1 experience you can get.

    The choices you made in Telltale Guardians of the Galaxy are finally making an impact on the galaxy and features a great action sequence. It's a shame the episode is pestered with technical problems, which has its effect on the way you play.

    This game is original. Not only do you fight against enemies, but the clock is ticking too! So it's a shoot em up with a lot of chaos, but it's addictive to play.

    Sonic Mania is an instant classic if we're speaking of Sonic games. The game takes you back to the Genesis time with its look and feel. Although the speed is sometimes sacrificed for platforming action, this is a must buy for everyone.

    The Escapists 2 is a great game and there are a lot of different ways to escape. You will enjoy the humor of the game. But it might be a bit hard to escape the prison.

    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.

    This is the only title that should be in your PlayStation 4 right now. The best game to play if you dig a good story and nice missions to play. But be sure that you checked Yakuza 0 first.

    Minecraft Story Mode Season 2 episode 2 has some impressive moments. But with bleak characters and dialogues alike, it doesn't make it the best episode in the series.
