Fire Emblem Fates is another wonderful entry in the series. It offers an odd sales choice and some controversial tweaks, but it's a great tactical strategy
On my own experience, I played a majority of this campaign on a 13 hour flight from New York to Tokyo, and I didn't put it down once!
Yo-kai Watch delivers a fun, easy to play, tough to master RPG that I found just as exciting as it is relaxing. I want more of this series.
To call SUPERHOT compelling would be an understatement. If you like bizarre and novel affairs with equally strange approaches to gameplay, this game should be on your radar. It's a little too brief for my tastes, though there is extra content to pad the experience out beyond the 100 minutes it takes to see the credits.
Oxenfree is a tight, well-paced thriller with characters that make you want to explore every inch of its creepy island.
Firewatch is a beautiful game with a unique narrative hook. It's been hanging around in my head for days since I finished it.
Priced perfectly, Gravity Rush Remastered is a wonderful way to get excited for the sequel bound for the PlayStation 4.
Ratchet & Clank is more than a reboot. It's a love letter.
Far Cry Primal takes the series back. Way, way back. Is it enough to revive a stale concept?
If you didn't get the idea, I love this game. It is a marvelous addition to the open-world genre and another one I can add onto the short list that I love. I think I need to use my left hand now if we are counting. It's also a great addition to the Metal Gear Solid franchise, portraying it in ways I didn't believe possible until now.
When the games of this fall start rolling out, we're going to have plenty of opportunities to shoot, stab, and blow up everything we can get our crosshairs on. For now, exploring a sunlit village in Shropshire, England feels like a good, short diversion.
Overall, this package is just great.
I really enjoyed my time with Until Dawn, and I'm itching to replay it. In many ways, it reminds me of Quantic Dream games like Heavy Rain, except it works and works very well. It respects its characters and the player while offering those same kind of immersive cinematic experience those games went for. If you're a horror fan, Until Dawn is a must-play. It's a love letter and a fresh creation of its own and worth seeking out.
The new game of throw and catch alongside modes like Draft Champions makes Madden NFL 16 a great entry in the football franchise.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is bigger, better... and smaller?
NHL 16 is such a better effort than it was last year. The improvement upon gameplay and better attention paid to arena feel make it a great year to play.
Overwatch is a tight, friendly, fun, well made shooter. It's easily one of the best games I've played this year.
Xeodrfiter is a win for fans of classic gaming and the metroidvania genre.
After the blight that was Unity, Ubisoft elected to scale back with Assassin's Creed Syndicate. The result is a game that's both fun and stable.
My only regret is that I didn't play Odin Sphere enough back in the day to truly appreciate the overhaul that VanillaWare has given it.
