There is a reason that it was one of the top games of it's genre back in 2008 and this translates beautifully to the new console platforms.
Destiny: Rise of Iron has one of the best raids to date, but the journey to get there is mundane
Mafia III has some great characters and a lovely world to explore, but it at its core it is an uninspiring sandbox game, of which I expected more.
Infinite Warfare lacks the polish and action we love from the COD series. The space theme is great, but the campaign is mundane, and the multiplayer is buggy. The only star this year is the zombie mode.
You won’t find a more tightly executed racing game anywhere else, providing a fantastic driving experience.
Dead Rising 4 has everything we love from the series, but bigger and better than ever.
The game builds on the experience of previous titles adding an increased level of beauty and scale but doesn’t really add a huge amount of innovation to win over brand-new entrants to this genre of gaming.
Sid Meier's Civilization 6 is the best Civilization game ever built, and its cute art style and deep game mechanics makes it so much more rewarding.
NBA 2K17 is a great entry in the series that continues to push its best features, while polishing up its flaws
God Eater 2 Rage Burst is full of action, adventure, and lots of beasts to slay in the best way possible.
Halo Wars 2 feels like a great addition to the Halo series, and successfully makes all the battles feel believable and relatable at the same time. Sometimes the unit restrictions might feel a bit on the low side, but the game’s core mechanics, work around this.
F1 2016 feels more polished and refined than any entry in the series.
In the end, Nioh is a magnificent experience that Dark Souls player will love. Is it better than our Game of the Year for 2016? No, but it is a good substitute that does a great job in bringing a new world to life in the grittiest way possible.
It’s gameplay is fluid and fun and the overall world rich and detailed. If you have ever considered a Monster Hunter game before and never pulled the trigger, this is your opportunity.
One of the best video game collections of the current console generation.
Gears of War 4 is a fresh new take on the Gears series. New characters, enemies, and a refreshing new story, will be a welcome new direction for the series for years to come.
There has not been a Resident Evil that we have managed to connect with in a long time. Resident Evil 7 Biohazard has changed all that. All the puzzles, all the scares, and the fantastic feeling you get while playing the game. It is a horrific, in all the right ways.
Titanfall 2 does not suffer from an identity crisis. It knows what it is, and what it wants, and delivers that all in an action-packed, fast paced package that comes with a stellar campaign, and an enjoyable multiplayer.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has been carefully taken apart and put back together to create the best Deus Ex game in the series
While you always know what you are getting with a FIFA game, this year delivers a highly polished and well refined offering with just the right amount of new.
