Monster Hunter World exceeds all expectations and presents itself as one of the best entries of the series so far. Besides some minor issues with a overloaded UI and some questionable help mechanics the game manages to keep you on enjoying the grind and is definitely the best title in the series for newcomers.

The Inpatient ends up as poorly thought out walking simulator that not once manages to get out of Until Dawns shadow. There's not enough character development or horror elements in the short playtime of 2-3 hours to keep you motivated for a second playthrough of the game. If you enjoyed Until Dawn you'll still get a little bit of closure out of the story.

Despite the fact that only the resolution of the game was optimized, Okami HD is still a game you have to get in 2017. Thank to it's unique cel shading look and the varied gameplay mechanics and puzzles this game still manages to surprise in 2017 and is looking amazing while doing it.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is besides some tedious mechanics and an unnecessarily long introduction a game that shouldn't be missing in any Nintendo Switch Collection. You'll be entertained for at least more than 40-50 hours of Main Quests and even after that the game still manages to keep you playing with plenty of side activities and hidden areas.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 manages to make nearly everything wrong with such a simple formula and Star Wars Goodness. The newly introduced campaign ends up being a irrelevant add-on and the multiplayer part got destroyed by a ungrateful randomized progression system and a focus on farming credits and also reducing the credits you earn per match. Somewhere in this mess should be a decent squad-based Shooter with some great Star Wars Fanservice but everything around it is terrible.

Need for Speed Payback wants to be the Racer for everyone but does nothing really well. The core elements of the series are broken down to pieces with microtransactions and grinding-systems and besides a decent soundtrack nothing stands out in Payback.

Doom runs really well on the Nintendo Switch besides some recurring framerate issues when you encounter more enemies. If you can live with a missing snapmap editor and a reduced graphic performance you'll definitely have some fun on the go. If you wanna play it mainly on a TV you should stick with the other versions of the game.

Call of Duty WW2 is an uncomplicated and extensive recollection to the roots of the series that fights with some major technical problems and an unexciting campaign. If you're looking for some long-term motivation in the multiplayer part of the game you'll get the best COD since Black Ops 2.

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is a successful Expansion of an amazing game that could have used a bit more variety and is sadly making the same mistakes from the main game. The great balancing and the new challenges will still entertain fans of the game in the usual quality and offer new replay value.

A Hat in Time shows how to make a spiritual successor right and besides some reduced length and the shortcomings from that fact, this game doesn't need to hide behind the big players in the genre. If you're looking for a Super Mario substitute on PC you'll have a great time.

Oure tries to be much but delivers next to nothing. The repetitive gameplay and the blunt overall picture make it hard to recommend this game despite the low price. The setting had some potential but because of the boring implementation of it you should steer clear of this game.

Assassin’s Creed Origins offers besides some technical issues a brand new adventure with a functional open world. The new action rpg elements haven't been implemented that well but are definitely a step in the right direction and are supported by a great interface and upgrade system.

Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is a solid sequel with small technical issues that not only builds on the great foundation that The New Order created but improves on it with an even better story and gameplay adjustments. Fans of Singleplayer-Shooters have to get this game.

Super Mario Odyssey is not only a return to the glorius days of the N64 era but more like a big leap forward from there. A modern masterpiece but manages to get the mix betwen tradition and new ideas just right with a lovely game design.

AER: Memories of Old is definitely the most delightful adventure of this year. The soothing atmosphere and caring world of the game will entertain you very well. Sometimes there could be a bit more interaction with the world and some challenges but if you can live with that you'll get a well made Indie-Adventure.

Gran Turismo Sport delivers a solid racing experience but can't keep up with the competition this year and suffers from the lack of a career mode and a questionable game structure for the series. If you expect a beautiful and beginner friendly racing game, you'll still enjoy it.

We give Just Dance 2018 a rating of „8.1“, just like last year, since barely anything changed. The only visible change is the Kids option, which is nice, but if I really want to keep a child busy, I might as well use the adult version for that since every single word that is even a tiny bit offensive has been cencored out anyway.

Fire Emblem Warriors offers a solid hack and slay expierence and performance on the New 3DS. Even if the story won't surprise you that much, the solid cast of the series will. The mix between these two very different genres is well made and fans from both sides will get great time out of it.

If you're a RPG or Gothic Veteran you will find some enjoyment in the story behind Elex. Besides that everything else is so faulty and inaccessible that we can't recommend the game to anyone else. The terrible sounds and animations combined with the clunky gameplay make it hard to keep on playing this game.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole comes with the quality you'd expect from the show and besides some repetitive Riddles it delivers a solid South Park Experience and an entertaining story. Tactical RPG Fans will miss some challenge and some more thought out upgrade mechanics would've been nice but it's definitely the funniest game of the year.
