Not only is Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 the best football game in terms of graphics, it is the best I have experienced in terms of gameplay. The level of detail and player likenesses create a game that comes as close to you'll get to the real thing. There are still a few minor issues with presentation, and perhaps a few more changes could have been made to Master League and Become a Legend, but I'm clutching at straws here. The gameplay is near perfection, the AI and goalkeepers are improved, Konami have added further licenses to their product, and the graphics are amazing. Hopefully the servers are ready for online and with just a few minor presentation improvements to be improved on, PES really has set the bar of what a football game should be.
Copious amounts of story content occasionally broken up by challenging tactical combat will keep you entertained for hours. Masquerada is a beautiful game with fantastic well written characters and a plethora of story content. If you're the type that likes to take their time and absorb themselves in the world then Masquerada: Songs and Shadows is the game for you.
Finally, we have the return to form that Sonic fans have been waiting for all these years. This isn't just one of the best Sonic games of recent years, but one of the best Sonic games full stop. You owe it to yourself to get a copy of this masterpiece.
I would argue that Eventide 2 is one of, if not, the best Artifex Mundi games available on Xbox at this point. I truly hope that future titles share Eventide 2's trend of improving on previous games. Honestly though, you'll have to have played the previous titles to appreciate the changes this title has made.
Running and gunning, exploration, big bosses, upgrades and tons of deaths makes this game mostly enjoyable throughout many runs. While not improving on The Binding of Isaac's gameplay, Feral Fury does a good job of good enough replacement that can stand on its own if given the chance.
Bigger and better is every way, F1 2017 gives the franchise the shake-up fans have wanted for several years.
Freekstorm appears to have focused their entire attention on their antagonist, relying on Kvorak to keep the players attention which ultimately fails. Clunky controls and poorly developed puzzles leaves this reviewer with only one choice...Obliterate Doctor Kvorak's Obliteration Game.
Although Rabi-Ribi presents itself as a light-hearted adventure about chibi animals, it's actually a frantic, bullet-hell RPG under the hood. It might be the best modern Metroidvania title we've seen in years.
An admittedly wonderfully detailed passion project, but one that is mostly style over substance.
Symphonic Rain is perfect for someone new to visual novels and provides an unforgettable story that will stay with you for quite some time. It's short, sweet, and packs a punch that you don't see coming.
Fictorum deliveries on the promises it makes and is an enjoyable experience. It might look and feel a bit dated don't let that put you off what is a brilliant title. If you can get yourself lost in it's spellcasting and shaping mechanic then you will find a lot of fun to be had.
A solid version of a classic, with some nice extras. It's faithful to the gameplay and it looks the part, but it doesn't do anything that we haven't seen before. If you're not looking for a reinvention, then it's a good game to play, just don't expect to be overly surprised by anything.
There's a lot to like about Community Inc. Unfortunately there's also a lot to hate.
Seeing Impact Winter through to the end will be a struggle in itself. It is a shame that Impact Winter is filled with both bugs and design problems as at it's core there are the makings of a brilliant title. For now though it is one to avoid unless you are willing to deal with the problems.
While not having the exploration of Minecraft, this story-centric title provides an interesting experience that will give any player a few hours of entertainment. The addition of Crowd Play makes the game far more interesting than some other Telltale games.

Boasting a varied lineup of unique fighters, beautiful retro art, interesting stages, and an impressive amount of content, Rivals of Aether hits every mark hit sets out to hit. This is must-have for any brawler fans with deep, engaging combat that's easy to learn and hard as nails to master.
With this stimulating narrative, Lydia is a steady explorative adventure that will leave you speechless by the time you finish it. Its take on adult themes within a childish aesthetic feels familiar but it accomplishes enough to set it apart from other like-minded indie titles. It's a solid debut release by Platonic Partnership and leaves me intrigued to see what comes next from the Finnish studio.
For some people this is more a 7-8 game. But when its main feature is arcady without substantial main or side content. This is a game that is best appreciated as a recommendation for those looking for a short solid gameplay experience. As opposed to a game-changing, eye-opener of a title.
Oafmatch is not a bad game but it could've been so much more had there been a few improves to the games systems to mix up the formula. Along with the lack of real feedback to the player, Oafmatch is a hard one to recommend. It's a good match-three game just don't expect to see this one through to the end.
