Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is quite the looker, but the gameplay definitely shows its age. Fans of open-world platformers may enjoy scouring its world for secrets, but those weaned on modern-day titles may end up getting frustrated with its controls and design.
Though there is a lot to play in 2017, Persona 5 is one RPG you just can't pass up. The wait was well worth it, and you shouldn't be surprised to see Persona 5 pop up on quite a few game-of-the-year lists come December.
Kero Blaster is a blast from the past full of charm and challenge. Though it may not be the longest adventure around, those that take the time to master Kerotan’s slippery controls will have quite the adventure with Cat and Frog Inc.
If you’re expecting Yooka-Laylee to push the platforming genre into new and exciting directions, you’ll be left disappointed. While the game fails to make any big strides into new and unknown territories, it lives up to the overall quality, quirky nature, and well-designed platforming elements put in place by its predecessor nearly 20 years ago – and that’s no easy feat.
Aaero is a unique beast that will appeal to arcade aficionados the world over. Its loose and unforgiving control scheme takes some getting used to, but those who are able to move to the groove will find a worthwhile experience that offers an experience all its own.
Snake Pass is not for everybody. Fans of collectathons and colorful worlds will find much to like, but those looking for something a bit more fast paced might be turned off by Noodle and Doodle’s antics.
This new episode of The Walking Dead: A New Frontier plays it far too safe. Those looking for the rich storytelling or the deep gameplay elements found in previous seasons best wait for future episodes to see how things progress.
Mass Effect Andromeda feels like a rushed entry into a struggling IP – a poorly executed swan song aimed at rinsing a games last market value down to a dry sponge. But this is Mass Effect. This is not a struggling IP. This is one of BioWare’s greatest achievements. The franchise deserved more, the fans deserved more and honestly, I feel the developers deserved more.
Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight combines the best elements of Castlevania, Dark Souls, and even Shantae to create something great. What it lacks in scale it more than makes up for in attention to detail and care.
NeuroVoider is the textbook definition of “git gud.” Though some may balk at its challenge and grind, those who stick with it will get absorbed in the search for the perfect run.
Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe takes the best elements of other fighters, and brings them together to create something great. It might not be the most original fighter around, but those looking to test their might will find a lot to like here.
Danganronpa 1-2 Reload is an incredible value for fans both old and new. Those interested in a darker tale with some of the most unique anime flair ever created could do far worse than these two titles.
Breath of the Wild does what Ocarina of Time did back in 1998: it creates a new formula for future Zeldas to follow. Fans of action-adventure titles and The Legend of Zelda should play it as soon as possible.
WRC 6 is every bit as deep as you want it to be. While driving takes some getting used to, and the career mode is a bit straightforward, racers looking for the perfect time will find a lot to like here.
A few poor decisions are the only things holding back Horizon Zero Dawn. It’s a great game in every sense of the word, but poor fundamental RPG mechanics stop it becoming something fantastic. Let’s hope they get it right in the sequel.
Paired with some custom difficulty settings, and players can seriously crank up the adrenaline in this title. A lack of depth in character progression and weapon variety, coupled with a stagnant and unimaginative competitive multiplayer element hold the game back, but it’s still one of the best entries in the series so far.
Motorcyclists will love the amount of content Ride 2 has to offer, but more casual racers may be turned off by its depth and aggressive AI. There is a serious difficulty curve in place that isn’t for everyone, but those willing to face it head on can find something to like here.
The only reason you should be picking this game up is if you are a huge hack-and-slash fan, a big fan of Musou games like Dynasty Warriors, or a Berserk fan. If you aren't any of those, then you should skip this game.
Nioh is one of those games people will be talking about all year. Bringing gripping combat, ghastly bosses, and an amazing gear system, Team Ninja hits a home run with Nioh.
For anyone burnt by Tales Of Zesteria, this game is a step in the right direction. Anyone looking for a long, combat-rich JRPG with interesting characters should pick it up. It isn't going to change your opinion of the genre as a whole, but it does enough right to set it apart from other games like it.
