A captivating setting, engrossing narrative, and a complex and deeply addictive combat system help define Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as one of the best JRPGs of this generation.
What it lacks in shine and polish, Ashes Cricket makes up for with its deeply enjoyable on-pitch action and creation tools.
Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon doesn't deviate much from its predecessor, but makes enough changes to deliver an experience that is notably better.
Amusing characters, sharp writing, and a diverse setting make for an enjoyable experience, albeit one with technical issues and shallow, unchallenging combat.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 is fantastic follow up to the 2015 title but is ultimately held back from reaching true greatness thanks to its demonic microtransactions.
Football Manager 2018 is very good at what it does, the problem really is that what it does, is for a very specific subset of people, and to anyone outside of that it's a game that feels far too often like you're doing your taxes. It can't be called bad, but I lament the lack of newcomer friendly features.
The staleness has begun to set in by now, but Layton's Mystery Journey is still a charming, sweet game with some great puzzles that engaged series fans and newcomers alike will fall in love with.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on the Nintendo Switch might just be the best way to play this modern classic.
A few solid new additions and strong reiteration of past mechanics make for an enjoyable experience, even if it is largely similar to what we've already seen from past Just Dance games.
Strong writing, great performances, an engaging story with choices that matter, and a fantastic soundtrack make Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy an intergalactic ride worth taking. Just don't forget your Walkman.
2017 is a cracking year for racing fans but unfortunately for Need for Speed, Payback doesn't stand tall amongst the likes of Forza Motosport 7, Gran Turismo Sport, Project CARS 2, DiRT 4 and F1 2017.
Sonic Forces is a flawed and unremarkable game, despite occasionally providing moments of decent enjoyment.
Fire Emblem Warriors is good enough to get the job done- but only just.
A derivative, middling campaign, good multiplayer, and a ton of content means that Call of Duty: WWII is more Call of Duty - for better and worse.
The Frozen Wilds feels a bit less unique compared to the base game but if you can ignore that you will find a lot to like and love about Guerrilla Games' latest effort.
Super Lucky's Tale is a funny, joyous game with excellent mechanics and great characters. Microsoft has finally found their platformer.
Hidden Agenda is a fun co-op or competitive title with a good production values and a gripping story. The PlayLink system can cause issues and an unforgiving save system means that you may have to start over, but this is a well-made game that's extensively replayable and a killer with friends.
Strong writing, excellent performances, good gameplay, and a surprising relevance to current events combine to make Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus an old school, Nazi-killin' good time.
Super Mario Odyssey is a culmination of thirty years of Mario, and a celebration of video games.
If you're looking for a hunting game to tide you over, this may be the game for you. It's not for people who don't have patience and want a quick kill.
