Altogether, WWE 2K18 ultimately fails to deliver on the promises made by 2K Sports, barely changing things at all. The problem with My Career is that it needs to be the focus for all players, who plan to stay with the game for a longer time, but its still dull and repetetive, making it too boring over longer periods of time. Carrying your opponent around in the ring is fine and the minor changes in the My Career Mode at least shows us that the developer admits the mode needs further improvement, but in the end it needs even more of that. Nice try 2K, but better luck next time.

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.

The Evil Within 2 delivers a solid horror performance that suffers a bit because of poorly designed open world spaces. Psycho-Horror Fans and people that like abstract art will still get what they came for but it doesn't feel like an improvement over the first title.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War wants to be too much at the same time and ends up (besides a greatly improved Nemesis System) in a repetitive mess that doesn't shine in terms of story and graphics. The integration of the Lootboxes doesn't effect the game as much as we expected but it still shouldn't be in a Singleplayer title to begin with. Fans of Lord of the Rings still get to see some of their fan favourites and the gameplay this time is really solid.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar would've had potential to be surprise hit but fights with some of the worst technical problems this year and doesn't deliver a very gripping story. If you can live with constant crashes and broken cutscenes you'll still get a solid turn-based jrpg with a nice Darksiders feel.

FIFA 18 is an unexpected step backwards from its predecessor. The Journey and most of the other modes got some unimaginative updates and the perfomance on the field is filled with inconsistencies in terms of player AI and the balance between attackers and defense that you wouldn't expect after FIFA 17. Fans of ultimate team and FIFA Veterans will still get some fun out of the countless game modes the game has to offer.

Cuphead is the next must-have title for the Xbox One. The Animation and Soundtrack are unique and even with couch co-coop the gameplay mechanics and balancing works solid through the whole game. The side activities of the game are pretty repetitive and also the upgrade system could use a little do-over but besides that every Gamer should have this game in his/her library.

Forza Motorsport 7 is the most beautiful and accessible racing game on the market. The new weather conditions bring some fresh improvements in terms of variety and driving experience and the Forza's Drivers Cup is the most satisfying single player experience the series had in years. The only shortcomings are a small lack of realism and the unnecessary integration of Loot Crates/Microtransactions.

If you're looking for a solid Basketball experience, you'll get it. The Gameplay feels great and is easy to learn. Despite some questionable Microtransactions and the open question if the ps3 and xbox 360 Version of the game still holds the full potential of the PS4 Version back you'll still enjoy every part this game has to offer.

Despite some creditable gameplay changes Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite doesn't really offer something that stands out from their competitors. Hardcore Fans will still find some of their fan favorites in the upcoming DLCs but in it's current form we can't recommend this game.

Project Cars 2 is by far the most realistic racing simulator on the market but it still doesn't make itself accessible for newcomers and casual players. It also fights with a terrible enemy AI and some questionable choices in the career mode. Besides that Racing Game Fans will get a solid sequel to the already convincing Project Cars.

Despite the bitter taste of microtransactions and some recycled procedures Destiny 2 is a solid expansion on the first title. The story is visually stunning and the new RPG and Upgrade-elements finally complete the broke Loot-System and offer more motivation to explore the planets and world of the game.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 returns to old strength with a solid portion of realism and a phenomenal visual presentation. The AI could be a bit better on the defense and also the tactical menu in-game feels kinda outdated but besides that fans of soccer simulations will get the series again at their best.

Monster Hunter Stories is a delightful spin-off package with its on charme that will pull in Pokémon Fans as newcomers alike. The Gameplay mechanics are surprisingly diversified and the amount of Monster Hunter goodness will make some points good with Monster Hunter Veterans despite its lack of challenge and the mediocre sound design.

Knack 2 learns nothing from the mistakes of the first game and offers little to nothing besides some online/couch-coop what plattformer-fans or newcomers could actually enjoy. Because of the monotonous leveldesign and unimaginative story, players just get some enjoyment out of the fact, that you can play the game with some friends.

Last Day of June offers a real beautiful story accompanied with an amazing soundtrack and some Tim Burton-like animation style. Sadly the game don't deliver on the gameplay side and offers till near the end of the game nothing but a painstaking experience. If you look for an emotional adventure you still will find some enjoyment in the game.

Windjammers falls into the category "Easy to learn, hard to master", which makes it interesting for newcomers and veterans. Besides cross-buy and some features like 16:9 and CRT filters the gameplay mechanics will make you come back to the game again and again.

Before the Storm – Episode 1: Awake is off to a bumby start but it defintely leaves some potential open for the upcoming episodes. The new Backtalk-Feature doesn't really make any impact on the story so far and also the course of the episode feels to forced but besides that Life is Strange Fans will see some familiar faces and funny side activities.
