With more than 50 new events in two regions it has plenty to offer for fans of winter sports and the Olympics in general. But sadly you can only use your snowboard in story mode.

It's a fun game that definitely shows improvement over the last LEGO games. But the absence of the dynamic split screen and the unbelievable amount of game breaking bugs (at least on Nintendo Switch) make the game unplayable at times. Too bad because the potential was there.

6 / 10 - NBA 2K18
Sep 20, 2017

2K didn't learn from the Evolve fiasco. NBA 2K18 is one huge Pay2Win game, especially in story mode which could have easily been the best mode in the game. But grinding endlessly for success is not the definition of fun. Other than that the Nintendo Switch version is filled with bugs and technical breakdowns. What a shame because NBA 2K18 is a full port of the game with no cutoffs.

This game is not what it should be. Most of the riddles (the essence of the game) are often misleading and cheating. No logic can solve those wannabe-Professor-Layton brainteasers. What could have been great ended up in a mess. Go and play the old Professor Layton games. You're better off with them.

Let's be clear about Mario Party: The Top 100. Its mini games are superb although not every fan favorite made it into the list. But the main and single board is boring and nothing like Mario Party used to be in the old and fun days. At least you only need one module to play four player sessions.

5 / 10 - The Inpatient
Jan 23, 2018

The Inpatient is a very slow paced experience that ends when it really gets interesting. It's short play time and limited gameplay possibilities makes it a missed opportunity.

Despite all the changes and partial removals of Pay2Win elements it's still a broken mess.

Need for Speed Payback with its gambling system based on speed cards instead of real car parts is pure Pay2Win. In addition the open world is empty and lifeless though there is a lot to discover in terms of racing events. The rubber band effect is really bad in this game and cops are as unrealistic as ever in the Need for Speed franchise. Last but not least is the grind which you will have to do if you want to proceed in the game. Don't touch this game – ever!

If you're a fan of Monopoly then the Nintendo Switch version is perfect for you. It doesn't matter if you play it on the big TV or on to go – it's a must have for fans.
