Breath of the Wild is, without a shadow of a doubt, an experience that all players should experience.
I think as long as I can physically play games, I’ll be playing the Binding of Isaac, a timeless classic with layers of meaning and importance. Congratulations McMillen, Himsl and the entire Nicalis team, you’ve made a masterpiece.
I cannot stress enough that this is my new favorite PSVR title and so far it’s the best execution of VR as a way to play games that I have experienced.
Batman: Arkham Knight is the conclusion of this epic series, and it definitely goes out with a bang. This may be the biggest showcase of what the new generation of games can do, and is definitely the ultimate Dark Knight gaming experience. Whether you're a long time fan of the Batman or not, this game has something for everyone.
God of War not only shows what the PS4 is capable of, it’s an amazing evolution of the series.
Persona 5 takes the JRPG mold to create an intensely original, deep experience in its gameplay, presentation, and narrative. There are not many games that pull it off quite like Persona 5, marking it as a masterpiece title that will set a benchmark for years to come.
If you a fan of Dead Rising series you don’t want to skip this chapter. Capcom has brought back the feel of the original Dead Rising and kept it fresh and enjoyable. In the craziness that has been 2016, Dead Rising 4 is a great way to spend the holidays… killing zombies and blowing stuff up!
A New Challenger Approaches and its name is Dragon Ball FighterZ. Bandai Namco and Arc System Works have delivered something astounding and I know that myself and the FGC are excited to bear witness of what’s to come in this game’s life cycle.
Cosmic Star Heroine is a great experience for those nostalgic for old school JRPGs and those who are curious about how it felt for the rest of us back in the day.
Streets of Rage 4 was a blast to play, taking me back to my childhood and allowing me to have a reason to play with my friends. I recommend it not just to fans of the series, but as a fun introduction to this classic franchise.
TMNT Shredders Revenge reunites Millenials with an arcade-style that they grew up with. The story is an enjoyable throwback to a variety of aspects of the 90sTMNT franchise. Playing through the story really showed us how much the developers love the 90s series and their work reflects that nostalgia, love, and passion. The gameplay and graphics are a refreshing take on the TMNT arcade fighting style without making too many modifications. Players of all ages can easily pick up the game and play it with whoever is willing. With the availability of couch co-ops either locally or online, players will be able to share this experience with their friends and loved ones.
Stardew Valley is an extremely charming, polished, and nuanced game that is a breath of fresh air in the management game genre and the entire games industry as a whole. I don't think I've had so much stress-free fun in a game for years, and would highly recommend it to anyone.
Catherine: Full Body reminds me of everything I loved about Catherine while providing a new and enhanced experience.
Final Fantasy XV is an incredible journey across a unique world with interesting, fairly layered characters and awe-inspiring moments of epic visuals. It is a must play for fans and newcomers to the Final Fantasy series, and while it almost satisfies that expectation that comes from ten years of development, it just simply isn't perfect. Although, Noctis' story will live on as a highlight in the Final Fantasy anthology for many years to come.
If you like the anticipation of watching doom slowly stagger toward a victim, well – here you go, you delightful sadist. Enjoy.
Not much has changed with Thumper in the jump from 2016 to 2017, but the little changes as well as accessibility options makes it so much more enjoyable. This is one of the must have titles if you care about music at all for the Switch.
Hive Jump is an enjoyable 2D platform experience with a soundtrack that draws the player into the atmosphere.
Monster Hunter World has laid the foundation for a global phenomenon and I cannot wait to see what happens from here on out.
If you are a fan of RPGs and want to play something that mixes up the genre, I cannot recommend this game enough.
Trials Rising is the best Trials game to date. Building on an already well-established foundation, Trials Rising continues to outshine and outperform almost every other motocross game out there.
