With a unique cast of characters, shared gear, an emphasis on crafting for gear upgrades, and a deep and complex combat system The Technomancer is a surprising newcomer in a genre that is normally populated with games featuring mages, dragons, castles and the like.
Blizzard continues its streak as a top-tier developer with its first new intellectual property in almost twenty years.

Resident Evil HD Remaster is a time machine that takes you back to an era when horror games were great. This is the gold standard of survival horror.
The story, gameplay, and presentation are all top notch and make Uncharted 4 a remarkable achievement in gaming.
Those looking for a game that will recapture the glory days of the arcade TMNT, Turtles in Time, or Hyperstone Heist will be sorely disappointed. Those looking for a for a beat 'em up and are willing to settle for some middling gameplay with great trademarked characters might be interested in Mutants in Manhattan—ideally at a discount.
With each mission lasting between 30-45 minutes with no real checkpoint system, Battleborn can became an exercise in tedium.

While I loved Star Fox Zero for the fanfare and the simple fact that it finally exists, I can't help but feel disappointed by what Nintendo has done to one of its most criminally overlooked franchises.
DOOM offers nothing innovated, but instead, executes everything that we have already come to know and love about FPS games to perfection.
If you like Harvest Moon, this game is for you. Hundreds of hours can be poured into this game very easily. The game controls in a simple manner, and yet is so deep when it comes to its gameplay mechanics. Easily one of the best games available on Steam.

Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan is a game that should be played because it extends itself into an epistemological paradigm that no other game has dared to venture: African Fantasy. Its other commendable merits of resplendent environments, captivating story, and adept gameplay are complimentary, but secondary to the fact that this game's very existence is (gaming) history.
Quantum Break is a fun, thrilling, and astoundingly gorgeous new IP for Microsoft. From Sam Lake, creator of the original Max Payne games and Alan Wake, comes some of Remedy's best work yet as Quantum Break sucks players into the vacuum of time that exists in the world of its main characters and players will want to work just as hard as Jack Joyce to stop time, and their own time with the game, from coming to a catastrophic end.
Despite a rocky launch and poor story mode, Street Fighter V has shown once again why Capcom's franchise reigns supreme. The best fighting mechanics to date are sure to keep fans coming back for years.
Hitman (2016) does well in immersing the player in a world where you must think and act like Agent 47 should. The meat of the game is found when returning to the location and discovering the many options there is to subdue the targets. While perfect for hardcore gamers and completionists, its long load times is the one thing holding it back.
