EA is famous for making incredible progresses every year on new chapters: game modes and technical side of FIFA 18 are amazing. This game is the top football experience that every fan should play!

The new iteration of the Level-5 adventure series does not impress when it comes to puzzles, plot and character development, but despite that Layton's Mystery Journey is a great start for a new cycle in the franchise history. If you loved the previous games of the saga, you will definitely enjoy the new adventure of Katrielle Layton, but we hope that in future Level-5 and Nintendo could join forces to create something really special based on Nintendo Switch unique features.

While the original game was launched in two different editions just a few months ago, Level-5 and Nintendo chose to release yet another version of the same game with just a few interesting additions. The software house could have released those new contents via DLC instead of launching a whole, full-priced package. If you already experienced the original game, the new addition are not worth the current price, but if you never tried the Yo-Kai Watch 2 adventure you should pick this new version to experience the "definitive edition" of the handheld RPG.

Despite a good sense of humour, Maize failed to convince either as a walking simulator and a graphic adventure. Its progression is based on a linear and recurring process which require to find new objects to solve basic puzzles that feel too much similar to each other.

The final result is a great experience which seems much different and deeper than before. A great game that could help you to enjoy the next few weeks before the next big thing comes out.

The Evil Within 2 is certainly one of the best horror games of this generation: a great experience that pays tribute to the most important classics of the genre, such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill, but a game that loses some of the charm of the first chapter due to a easier experience and a lower difficulty. Despite a few issues and technical flaws, the game is strongly advised, especially to horror lovers.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole is a funny and exciting sequel for The Stick of Truth, that improves all the flaws of the first chapter by adding some interesting new features, especially in the fighting system. While the story evolves in a slow way, especially in the first few hours, the game can be easily enjoyed for several hours thanks to the atmosphere and references to the original TV show.

Polyphony Digital's choice to focus mainly on the online modes doesn't feel as a good way to promote Gran Turismo Sport, which might be fun to play and sometimes beautiful to watch, but fails to offer something really interesting when compared to competitors' racing experiences. Kazunori Yamauchi's latest project is definitely an ambitious project but it doesn't feel as a successful opera, due to the lack of what made Gran Turismo so appreciated in past iterations of the franchise.

Year after year, 2K's franchise keeps to entertain lots of wrestling lovers. Despite the lack of true innovations, WWE 2K18 is a fun experience, but after having played the last 4-5 games, people need way more than a simple step forward or a renewed visual aspect. The developers must work hard if they want to convince the audience to support this franchise one more time in the future.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a great shooter that shines when played in local multiplayer, a feature really simple in the Switch version thanks to the two small Joy-Con mini-controllers. A game that deserve to be part of your game collection, despite a launch price maybe a bit high for a product already available a few months ago on other platforms.

Take the freedom of exploring every corner as you did in Mario 64 and Sunshine, add the skill and precision required by Super Mario Galaxy and the variety of 3D World, and you'll get the huge Super Mario Odyssey, the celebration of the videogame itself, not just of the firm's mascotte.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus proves that single-player adventures still have something to say in a world increasingly projected towards multiplayer-only. A demonstration of MachineGames' growth in storytelling, with a noteworthy script topped off with magnetic and extremely satisfying gameplay, making the sequel to The New Order an unmissable product for fans of story-driven FPS.

With Origins, Ubisoft has managed to give a new life to its brand without compromising the original concept. The company was inspired by many other products such as Ghost Recon Wildlands, GTA V and The Witcher, and these contaminations make Origins' gameplay really unique and fascinating, also thanks to the historical setting chosen by Ubisoft Montréal. Bayek's adventure is the right step for the saga to start again after a few missteps, and we hope that this will be the first of many other huge titles in the Assassin's Creed franchise.

The Frozen Wilds is a great expansion to Horizon Zero Dawn that feature a new area, a new storyline and new equipment for Aloy that add to the main game up to 20 more hours of gameplay and amazing places to discover. The expansion comes at a fair price that allows anybody who loved the original game to adventure once again in the fascinating sci-fi world made by Guerrilla. You cannot miss this.

An overall enjoyable and easy to get experience which combines features from beat 'em up and party game genres. Kirby Battle Royale is very fun to play together with some friends via its local multiplayer, but the lack of variety for the included mini-games makes the single player soon boring, while the Online mode surprisingly presents some major technical issues.

Sonic Forces is yet another chapter in the Sonic saga that fails to bring justice to one of the biggest franchise of the '90s. Forces is not the Sonic game we were waiting for: trivial and too much easy, despite a difficult-to-manage gameplay that can easily cause frustration. SEGA must take a break and change direction in order to let its brand shine again, and we really hope that Sonic Team could find a formula to achieve it to make Sonic great again.

The first season of Batman - The Telltale Series comes to Nintendo Switch without any particular feature. The port itself is not bad, but of course the graphics is less polished than the other versions already available on PC and home consoles. The possibility of playing the adventure on the go is the real thing here, though the developer could have risked a bit more to create a unique experience by taking advantage of Joy-Cons and HD Rumble. Let's hope that Telltale Games could do more with the Season 2 coming to Switch in the next months.

Being the detective Phelps again after six years was more enjoyable than expected, mainly thanks to the unique features of Switch.

A must-buy for any Alola first timer, but not-so-much for those already being Pokémon League Champions.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is a nice and enjoyable videogame, indicated for every age. A special mention goes to its adventurous plot and the loads of characters you can play it with.
