Kingdom Come: Deliverance looks, sounds and acts the part but is inherently flawed in so many different ways that it’s very hard to pay attention to its good traits long enough to not to be distracted by the bad.
The Fall Part 2: Unbound goes deeper narratively than its predecessor but suffers from oversimplification of some mechanics

Lost Sphear can be enjoyable but struggles with its own pace and game development
The Longest Five Minutes is among the more creative and engaging RPGs in a very deep-pocketed genre, though does feel limited at times
Shu is still a beautiful, poetic platformer that celebrates the best things about the genre as opposed to the worst.

Furi is yet another indie darling that has found a perfect home on Switch
The Escapists 2 is feature rich and runs a treat on Nintendo Switch
Super Mario Odyssey is a practically perfect game that will be used to educate developers of the future in years to come. Unquestionably, it's the greatest 3D Mario Nintendo have ever made.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a true golden age JRPG experience
Golf Story is one of my favourite games in 2017
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is an impressive port of a major third party title on Switch
Steamworld Dig 2 is glorious in practically every way
Ubisoft has achieved the impossible, they’ve not only given Mario his own XCOM game, they’ve created a third-party franchise that should remain a Nintendo staple in years to come.
