It's more than a full remake. Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled feels like the definitive edition of past Crash racing games full of content and unlockables. This new take also remains colorful, fun, intense and just as challenging as the original.

The Forza Horizon festival travels to a world made of bricks, full of new challenges, high-speeds, charming aesthetics and references to the LEGO movies. It’s like a whole new LEGO videogame inside Forza Horizon 4, and easily the best looking one yet.

Darkwood is not a game for everyone – and that's perfect. As a survival horror game, it's one of the tensest and scariest experiences I've encountered. There is a very European soul in here, a desperation and acceptance of death that we can only see in eastern productions, giving us a hard look at something different, but equally beautiful.

Despite the smaller scope compared to the latest racing games featuring the “blue blur”, Team Sonic Racing offers a deep and fun twist to the arcade kart/racing genre, with some neat coop mechanics and a solid title overall.

Rage 2 is certainly colorful, frenetic, chaotic and plays extremely well. Unfortunately, everything else feels and looks uninspired, in a game with an uneven tone between parody and something unnecessarily serious and generic.

A Plague Tale: Innocence took us by surprise as one of the most endearing games so far this year. A linear experience focused on the journey of two brothers through the mud and blood, while they run away from the Inquisition and face the dangers of the Great Plague. With familiar mechanics and a satisfying gameplay through the story, A Plague Tale: Innocence is a great break from the all explosive games in the market.

Despite a boring start with repetitive missions - that expose most of its technical and narrative problems - , Days Gone is a very special game. I feel like the more I played, the more I wanted to explore the dangerous world it has to offer and the more I wanted to follow Deacon's emotional journey.

With Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, FromSoftware stands tall when it comes to truly challenging games with strong storytelling and great action. With the fastest, ruthless and extremely satisfying gameplay yet, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is also a great starting point for newcomers of this genre, thanks to some design choices and simplified progression mechanics.

Despite its promises, City of Brass is an ideal game to buy on sale, where the fun will surely be measurable with your investment. It's a shame, but with the Switch building a stronger catalog every year, the competition is fierce and City of Brass doesn’t have what it takes to be a must buy game on Nintendo’s console.

Devil May Cry 5 looks, plays and sounds as pitch-perfect as its bombastic soundtrack. It nails pretty much everything in every department. The combat is super satisfying, with a deep list of skills, abilities and attacks; the story is cheesy but engaging and full of twists; and it is one of the most visually impressive games of this year so far.

Codemasters is back at it again. After an almost experiment in a dedicated simulation game, DiRT Rally 2.0 stands on its own as a great spin-off game from the more arcade DiRT series. Every turn feels dangerous and every second counts, DiRT Rally 2.0 is authentic and visceral, but only for the most enthusiastic players.

With more open spaces to explore and out of the claustrophobic ruins of Moscow, Metro Exodus goes into an interesting direction showing a classic post-apocalyptic world more familiar to the fans of this genre. Flawed but charming, Artyom’s journey is full of emotions and action packed, in a well-paced game that has almost everything a Metro game should have.

It is, without surprises, survival horror in its pure state. The remake of Resident Evil 2 is everything the fans would hope for a current-gen RE. It takes all the core concepts of the original and twists them with a new fresh take and some mechanics from the also excellent Resident Evil 7. Lots of jump scares, great action, stunning visuals and a lot of content to explore and replay.
