Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a fun and challenging strategy game with battles that require you to be adaptable and keep switching between your team members and your arsenal of weapons. It is also a rewarding game to explore and provides easy but fun puzzles at the same time and gives you a welcome break from the mind-boggling battles. The chaotic world of Rabbids and the Kingdom of Mushroom Kingdom have been beautifully combined, highlighting the best aspects of both worlds. With its beautifully designed optics, charming (and crazy) characters, and creative problem solving, I can say that this game is easily one of my favorite games for 2017.

The first episode of Life is Strange: Before the Storm doesn't contain a lot of exciting events or game-changing decisions, but it seems like a good start for a story filled with tense and touching moments. It sets up the spotlight on Chloe and her relationship with Rachel as well as it offering a tutorial of sorts for the new power Backtalk which helps our heroin talk other characters into doing whatever she wants.

Bungie Studio managed to fix the problems of the first game by supporting the game with a brilliant short story, in addition to good side quests. The studio also supported the game with great PVE modes such as Strike, Nightfall, Raid and the great public events that will keep you busy for a long time at Destiny 2. You can also go to The Crucible and play against other players, which you will enjoy too much but be prepared to get used to all the modes as you can't choose a particular mode, but is this a whole new game?! It felt like a great expansion of the first one.

NBA 2K18 has come close to become the best complete sports game, offering different styles of play to satisfy all tastes. If you wish to live like a basketball player, you can play MyCareer. If you wish to build your dream team you can play MyTeam and if you want to live like a General Manager you can try the MyGM, but that does not mean it's a full-fledged game. Despite the great players scans and the addition of a face scanner to put yourself in the game and I think it's the best, but facial expressions are one of the worst expressions I have ever seen.

FIFA 18 marches on the same path as its predecessors, offering the same content with minor improvements such as new gameplay modes, a faster pace, more varied offensive tactics, better audio and graphic quality, as well as the ability to obtain valuable rewards while playing solo in FUT for the first time. On the other hand, there is no noticeable difference in Pro Clubs or Career Mode, the goalie performance is unpredictable, and it's too difficult to fully control the defensive line.

The biggest leap that Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite has taken in comparison to the older installments is in the addition of gameplay elements that allow new players to enjoy the events of the title without getting frustrated while also providing the opportunity for more seasoned players to take advantage of their skills better with a roster of 30 playable characters and multiplayer competitions that don't have any technical problems. However, the game lacks a few popular characters and its campaign mode does not advance the story very much.

PES 2018 feels similar to previous iterations with a few modifications here and there, most notably slowing down the game's speed. On the field, the game succeeds in presenting its own gameplay style that relies on realism, planning, and strategizing rather than just a general advance towards the goal. The game suffers outside the field however, as its game modes are not as popular as those of its competitor especially the Ultimate Team mode, and it does not shine in terms of UI, commentating, or audience interaction. The biggest problem remains is the lack of licenses for some of the major international teams.

Slightly Mad Studios offers the best realistic simulation game for cars in this generation, with a fully customizable game style and amazing sound effects. This game will be a favorite for racing gamers, but if you are an amateur and not a professional racing gamer you can play it too but you should be warned that the game is designed for professionals, so you'll need some time to practice it perfectly, and when you do, you'll get a lot of fun.

Forza Motorsport series is undoubtedly for many - including myself - the greatest racing game series in history, and Turn 10 studios is constantly building on the success of each game by adding more features in the next one, which happened with Forza Motorsport 7, although It did not offer the best realistic racing experience like Project Cars 2 but it is the best racing game this year and it will take too much to beat it.

The new expansion Battlefield 1: In The Name of The Tsar, has brought in new additions. It has introduced two new operations and a new multiplayer mode plus six new maps and new weapons for all categories. However, the new mode isn't good one and I think it will not be very popular, But the new maps are so good that a map like Albion outperforms the main maps of the game. The expansion also introduced the Russian army for the first time, a welcome addition, but overall, the expansion provided more content for one of the best multiplayer games in 2016.

Cuphead looks great visually and musically, and will be a great test of your patience as well as your platform skills. There are some loots you can win if you have the patience to do that, but even without it you can still enjoy your time in the game. It's a game that makes you feel triumphant when you finish a battle for leaders, and it's a game that will punish you hard if you do not watch well what's happening on the screen.

Monolith studio built on the success of the Nemesis System in Shadow of Mordor and presented it better in the new Shadow of War, with excellent RPG mechanics making it an RPG game rather than an action game. Although the story is very linear and weak in the game I found myself spending hours and hours playing to form my army and attack other fortresses, as well as daily challenges and community challenges that would make me play the game for a long time without boredom.

WWE 2K continues to modify and improve its content on an annual basis. WWE 2K18 comes with improvements that include most of the game modes, but not the root changes or upcoming additions except the new lift system, the best character models in the history of the series, the improved lighting system and the presence of a large number of wrestlers. In the game, anyone can notice that these changes are almost minor and do not provide much difference from last year's version.

The Evil Within 2 is a good horror survival game in itself, but it is considered a backward step for the series at all levels except the technical aspect. The first section of the game presented a similar experience to the open world in a very excellent way, but soon the game returns to the linear method and here show the disadvantages and most important semi-random confrontations with the enemies and the battles of leaders without creativity and this are the points that made the first game a genius one. The story-telling was not good and the level of writing was bad, and the dialogues were flat and shallow. Despite all this, the game certainly good and you must play it, but we were hoping for a game that surpassed the first one and not the other way round. Mikami's departure seemed to have had a big impact on the game.

Ubisoft has promised that Assassin's Creed Origins will bring the series back to its roots, but it surpassed its roots. It provided amazing RPG system and led us to a journey we would never forget in Ancient Egypt.

The second episode of Life Is Strange: Before the Storm focuses more on the relationship between Chloe and her friend Rachel, and manages to interest you and your emotions towards the two girls and the desire to know their fate in the events of the third episode. The episode also contains a set of fateful decisions that you must take, which are expected to have a significant impact on upcoming events.

Need for Speed Payback tried to do a lot of new things without succeeding in any of them as needed. I have no problem with games get some ideas from each other, which is what the game has done here, which quoted many things from Forza Horizon 3. On the other hand it removed some of the essentials in the franchise, such as the famous cops chases, it is now more like passing through certain checkpoints to escape cops cars. The game also features great cars customization options but offers the worst car upgrade method available in any racing game.

Curse of Osiris expansion has a good story, but with repetitive missions, a small planet with few activities plus two new maps for crucible, weapons, Strike and Raid missions, at last we could say it's more of the same.
