Despite its vague links to the trilogy, Mass Effect: Andromeda can largely be described as a soft reboot for the series. For the most part, this has worked out really well for Bioware, giving them a launching pad to take the story ahead in future installments. The game is not without its problems, but the wealth of content on offer here will suck you right into the experience.
The Crew: Wild Run is a fantastic expansion to the franchise and is a testament to Ubisoft's and Ivory Tower's consistent focus in making The Crew a reputable racing franchise.
Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is not some cheap cash-in collection. It’s a bridge to what is going come in the future backed up by an amazing remaster and an intriguing teaser to the next game.
Mortal Kombat 11 features an addictive core gameplay loop and a ton of interesting gameplay modes, but some weird grinding mechanics with the gear system and Towers of Time may put off some players.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is developed purely for the fans. It won't bring in any new audiences but it wasn't meant to in the first place. It features a decent amount of content which will make the wait less taxing for The Phantom Pain.
Ghost Recon Wildlands had amazing potential but its unbalanced gameplay mechanics and unnecessarily huge open world stop it from topping its fantastic predecessors.
Steep excels in what it sets out to do but glitches, controls issues and graphics inconsistencies during day time (on the Xbox One) drag down the experience.
NBA 2K18's microtransactions are disappointing but if you can ignore that, you have a basketball game that is a ton of fun to play.
Survive does many things right and wrong but it doesn't deserve to be called a "Metal Gear" game.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a disappointing entry in the series, and despite big promises and a lot of potential, it doesn't do anything special to move the series forward.
The Outer Worlds is a classic case of a missed opportunity. There are so many things it does right, and so many others that feel unrealistic, or simply don't feel balanced.
There was something promising about the way the developers put Dungeons 2 together but they didn't really follow through with that promise. Instead we got a game that seemed as though the developers stretch themselves too thin.
I had high expectations from Homefront The Revolution but in the end Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios pushed out a half bake open world shooter that no one will care about in a week or two.
