A charming and joyful game with a rich amount of content, but a slow and simplistic plot throughout the majority of the game and a seemingly rushed ending, in addition to some dubious puzzles make this, while still good,  an overall inferior entry in the series.

A fitting conclusion for the series. One that might not improve much but maintains what made the series special in a smaller package.

A fast and exciting game with some successful changes and a decent amount of content, let down only by some lackluster presentation and a lack of a reason for those who prefer to play it alone to come back to it.

Still the most enjoyable videogame golf, and also the most charming, with a successful move to an open world approach. More variety and a fundamental overhaul of the core mechanics are the only points lacking.

7 / 10 - Knack 2
Sep 5, 2017

An enjoyable experience and a big improvement over the first with decent content and optional co-op make this a great choice. Some technical issues and a lack of character mar an otherwise great experience.

A great entry that is equally enjoyable for those new to the series and those who played the original, with enough enhancements and additions to make it worth experiencing or revisiting.

8 / 10 - Undertale
Aug 23, 2017

A simple and compact game that is big in its characters and interactions, that is full of surprises and secrets. One that has a unique take on the genre making it worth playing even for those who aren't usually fans of RPGs.

A unique experience in the way it presents its world and story. The gameplay itself might be simple, but it succeeds in making you empathize with the game's heroine.

9 / 10 - Splatoon 2
Jul 29, 2017

A unique online shooter both in appearance and in gameplay, that is technically accomplished, with a lot of new ideas and the content to match.

A divisive entry that revolutionized a lot and was ahead of its time, and this enhanced version is a must try now more than ever.

An enjoyable addition that adds to the main game, unlike the first DLC. Combat is merely ok, but for those that enjoyed the main game this is a good addition.

4 / 5.0 - Arms
Jun 26, 2017

A unique looking and sounding game bursting with character, with a fighting system that is uniquely unique, offering simple controls for beginners as well as depth for those looking for it. The game is only let down by its currently relatively meager content.

Jun 10, 2017

One of most immersive VR games where you'll feel like you're really fighting aliens, but the repetitive gameplay with its horde of enemies wears you down after some time.

A fast and exciting racer with a style of its own, and a great release even if the content isn't new.

A classic that is still enjoyable today, with optional enhanced visuals, and additional features, not all of which are successful. Some fun can be had with it, but at its current price it's hard to recommend.

9 / 10 - Tekken 7
Jun 3, 2017

It might not be drastically different, but this entry is still a smooth and deep fighting game, not to mention exciting, with a large roster of characters, and a decent amount of content, while still being more suited for versus play.

A fast and enjoyable game that focuses on high speed jumps and stunts with a decent amount of content, but for newcomers choosing Trackmania Turbo might be a better decision.

8 / 10 - Injustice 2
May 20, 2017

An enjoyable game for veterans and newcomers alike, with a fun fighting system and a treasure trove of content and the ability to customize the game to your liking. Not all characters offered here are necessarily well known or even appealing, but the plethora of options offered makes up for that to an extent.

A simple and cheerful game that you'll play to take part in its joy and hum along with its music more than to take on its challenges. Even with its flaws, more games of this kind are needed.

A simple and charming package, that presents two proven puzzle games with some extra modes that add variety but not much else.
