The core game of Mario Tennis is fun. The adventure mode is basic and not as RPG-style as the game makes it seem, but it's a fun way of doing different things than your standard tennis match.
At the moment, the game (much like ARMS) feels like it came out as a vanilla version of the game and that over time updates will make it better. More game options like match length and a better method of court selection are needed among a couple other things.

God of War is a really good game. How it has modernized the God of War formula to today is really impressive. More detail in leveling up and acquiring new armor, a new over-the-shoulder camera view that works better than I could have expected, and a great story featuring an interesting character in Atreus.
Ink-splatting action is back and fresher than ever The squid kids called Inklings are back to splat more ink and claim more turf in this colorful and chaotic 4-on-4 action shooter. For the first time, take Turf War battles on-the-go with the Nintendo Switch system, and use any of the console~s portable play styles for intense local multiplayer* action. Even team up for new 4-player co-op fun in Salmon Run! Expect a fresh wave of fashion, not to mention new weapons and gear. Dual wield the new Splat Dualies or stick to mainstays like chargers and rollers, which have been remixed with new strategic possibilities. As always, Turf War is the favored sport among Inklings, but they also dig ranked battles, taking down Octarians in a robust single-player campaign, and battling enemy Salmonids in one dangerous part-time job! No matter which way you play, splat at home or on-the-go with Nintendo Switch. Staying fresh never felt so good. *Additional games and systems required for multiplayer mode.

Splatoon 2's gameplay is stellar with its variety of weapons, fun multiplayer game modes, a pretty decent story mode with fun platforming levels, and a really enjoyable horde mode called Salmon Run. It's also fun to try out new ink guns and clothes for your character.
Where Nintendo's offering is weak is in its online setup for the game. Joining a friend's game is a process in hurdle-jumping not really needed in gaming in 2017 and voice chatting through a phone app that must always be open is a terrible option. Nintendo is still trying to figure out this online thing that many other platforms found better options for 10 years ago.
There are also minor annoyances, such as turning on the game each time forces you to read through Pearl and Marina's intro with level rotations. Level rotation is kind of a silly thing to me when there are enough maps to play on; I myself have run into the situation of playing the same map about 3-4 times in a row because it's either Port Mackerel or Sturgeon Shipyard. Salmon Run is a scheduled event that comes every other day, so there may be times when you feel like playing it, but cannot because Nintendo decided a schedule for it that may (or may not) fit your life schedule.
Leveling up in the game is also kind of a grinding experience. Max level is 50, but it takes a lot of matches completed to just gain one level. There are tickets that can be found in the story mode to add a 1.5x multiplier for example, but it's not a massive improvement on XP gains.
While the core gameplay experience is incredibly fun, its design with regards to online leaves me with feeling like this could've been a lot better. I still rate it as "good" because the gameplay is so solid, but online functionality is bothersome at times.

While Arms' characters may not be all too different from each other, the depth of different boxing arms for each character adds enough depth to make fighting each other feel a bit more than simplistic button-mashing. While the main fighting is where it's at, I appreciate the inclusion of mini-games like basketball, volleyball and skill shot.

4K is the most optimal way to enjoy the PS4 Pro and the most important way to get the most out of this system. If you don't have a 4K TV, there are a couple worthwhile things you can do with the Pro even without 4K. In Horizon Zero Dawn, you get the option of increasing performance or graphical fidelity, and other games take advantage in different ways on PS4 Pro. Also, all screenshots are saved in 3840x2160 resolution, and all video clips are saved in 1080p.
If you don't have a regular PS4 now and either have or plan to get a 4K TV in the future, the Pro will be the way to go. If you don't have a 4K TV yet but still want the Pro, there are some benefits you can take advantage of right away. If 4K doesn't interest you any, the Slim would be the preferable option.
