Every moment of Necrodancer is fun and engaging, the music is some of the best original music in any rhythm game, and the entire experience feels very original.
Divisive as it may be, Majora's Mask is an important game in the Zelda series; not for its technical innovations, but for its storytelling and gameplay achievements.
Triforce Heroes is a great time for Zelda fans and fans of multiplayer games alike.
Stealth Inc. 2 delivers on story, looks and gameplay without comprising one for the other. Fans of stealth games, or even 2D sidescrollers in general would be doing themselves a disservice by not playing this game.
Ratchet and Clank isn't a remaster or a direct remake of the original because of it. More than anything the changes made in this reboot have improved on what made the first game so memorable.
As far as puzzle platformers are concerned, Boxboy is a breath of fresh air and proves that no matter the size or style of game, HAL is always committed to delivering a unique and fun experience with their games.
Marrakesh is the best area and mission in Hitman so far. It rewards patience and a slower pace of gameplay than any previous mission.
As a finale to the first year of Hitman content, and as an episode of Hitman on its own, this episode is easily the strongest chapter yet.
It might not be a game for players that aren't looking to be challenged, but Invisible, Inc. is a great stealth experience despite a couple of minor setbacks.
Despite its flaws Chroma Squad is a very fun experience that should not be missed.
Destiny: The Taken King is the first expansion in the second year of Destiny and it changes so many of the core concepts, from its interface to its mechanics, that it feels like playing an entirely new game.
While the buggy AI and server issues hurt the Hitman experience, it isn't enough to hamper the core gameplay, which is fantastic.
Kirby: Planet Robobot was a blast from start to finish. The platforming, combat and level design are better than they’ve ever been in a Kirby game.
Elliot Quest definitely walks this line but never really lands into either side of the spectrum. That's not to say that the game is bad or lacks identity, as it wears its influences on its sleeve, but Elliot Quest establishes a world and narrative of its own.
Grow Home delivers on a simple yet charming story in an equally engaging world.
Volume is a strong game that is not without its flaws, but finds a nice home in the class of stealth games this year has already offered.
Turns out Skyrim is even more fun the second time around.
NHL 17 is surprisingly easy to jump in and out of even in the mode dedicated full season and career modes. Its simple controls for beginners and unobtrusive tutorial system make it a very accessible game that still has a lot of depth.
True to its name, there are no heroes in Not a Hero, but there is a very fun shooter despite its flaws.
There are also quite a few memorable moments throughout the game, but when you're playing through the fourth or fifth chase scene or big dinosaur fight those initial flashes of brilliance lose their luster.
