A huge step forward in the UFC saga, thanks to the Real Player Motion Technology used by EA to recreate more than 5,000 animations in the game. Its complex combat system allows players to think about different strategies and attack the opponent with several techniques. A game that requires patience and dedication to master its deep gameplay, especially if you want to rule in the online multiplayer modes.

This version of Dragon Quest Builders offers the same funny and creative experience, but now you can even explore, build or fight in the world of Alefgard wherever you want thanks the portable mode offered by Nintendo Switch, which adds a great value to the overall experience.

Monster Hunter: World is a huge step forward in the action RPG saga from Capcom. Despite some simplifications in the gameplay mechanics realized to welcome the new players, the developer has managed to create an awesome hunting experience in a big and detailed open world. A potentially endless game incredibly fun to play with friends, an experience that will change and evolve in the next few months with live events and updates, as promised by Capcom.

The Inpatient is a nice adventure from the developers of the Until Dawn saga, that offers a great use of the voice commands and PlayStation Move controllers in order to deliver a thrilling story, with a dark atmosphere and a few great jump-scares. Despite that, the short duration and the expensive price are two disappointing flaws that you should consider before spending almost 40 bucks for a story that you can complete in 2-to-3 hours.

A timeless masterpiece that shines once again thanks to the extra power offered by PS4, especially when it comes to the PS4 Pro version, which is capable of managing a stunning 4K resolution along with HDR support and the new Photo Mode.

Another huge masterpiece that comes to Nintendo Switch after just nine months since its debut. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the JRPG you were waiting for, a great follow up in the Monolith Soft saga.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
