    Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection
    It’s a product that just makes me tired. Tired of seeing the games from three years ago on store shelves as if they’re new things. Tired of the amount of effort being pulled from making new games and being poured into re-releasing whatever beloved game publishers think they can squeeze a few more dollars out of. Tired, most of all, that it doesn’t seem like this trend is ending or even slowing down.

    Creepy Castle
    I may be older now, but thanks to my time with Creepy Castle, I was able to reconnect—if only briefly—with all the wonderful moments in my childhood that have led me to this very moment as a games journalist. That’s a magic that, as a lifelong player, I can’t put a price tag on.

    Syndrome
    Where Syndrome should have been a love letter to classic sci-fi horror games, it instead feels like a drunken, rambling text sent at three in the morning.

    Slayaway Camp
    Slayaway Camp checks all the boxes and will slash its way into your heart.

    Motorsport Manager
    All of the tedium, none of the excitement: Motorsport Manager is the perfect sim to relax to.

    Small Radios Big Televisions
    The self-indulgent climax, trippy as it is, ultimately doesn’t make good on all of the build-up that had led to that point.

    ENIGMA:
    ENIGMA: may provide a unique premise for a mystery story, but don’t expect stellar writing. Hold off on this visual novel until it goes on sale.

    Pokemon Sun
    While it can feel a little linear at times, there is something magical about the start to any Pokémon adventure, and that’s what makes Pokémon Sun so great.

    Dishonored 2
    While Dishonored 2 takes multiple strides to improve off of the original I’m left feeling only half of them hit the mark. The gameplay and the world hooked me in exactly as before and I had high hopes for the story, but the decisive part Arkane Studios wasn’t able to execute on was the choice between playing as one of two characters.

    Watch Dogs 2
    It’s a rare example of a big-budget game looking to make a statement. Even more rare, it succeeds by starting with a central thesis and communicating ideas through player action. That it also manages to be a rip-roaring good time is almost irrelevant. You can patch a framerate, but you can’t patch a story or gameplay, and on those fronts Watch Dogs 2 is nigh unimpeachable.

    Tyranny
    Tyranny is an exercise in depicting humanity’s worst facets, and it does so in a nuanced, interesting way while being an engaging and accessible CRPG.

    Hitman
    Each level feels like a real place, inhabited by real people with their own goals and routines.

    BlazBlue: Central Fiction
    A solid installment within the BlazBlue series that will appeal to fans and casual players alike, so long as you already enjoy playing fighting games.

    Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence - Ascension
    I’d recommend Nobunaga’s Ambition to anyone looking to dip their toe into the turn-based strategy genre. It’s deeply robust in its execution, without being so demanding that it loses its entertainment value. It has incredible replay value and will satisfy fans of the genre and history buffs alike.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered
    Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered’s campaign might feel outdated by today’s standards, but its multiplayer remains as addictive and fun as ever.

    Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
    Call of Duty Infinite Warfare is the most disappointing multiplayer shooter I’ve played in recent memory because it has too many poorly balanced mechanics and systems to create an enjoyable arcade shooter experience.

    Farming Simulator 17
    I’m still kind of confused regarding how I feel about this game, but I can’t stop playing.

    Owlboy
    Owlboy is a phenomenal adventure that succeeds in telling a captivating story with interesting characters and enjoyable gameplay.

    The Assembly
    The Assembly is an ugly, jagged mess that is just plain dull with lengthy load times and nauseating gameplay.

    Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location
    Cleary there was a lot of love and fine polishing put in to Sister Location, but Cawthon needs to take more risks.

    Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters: Daybreak Special Gigs
    Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters: Daybreak Special Gigs is a refined version of the original, while still maintaining the signature weirdness that made the initial release so charming.

    Titanfall 2
    It’s not a perfect game by any definition, but what game is? It’s also not a game that will convert random people into first person shooter fans. What you will find in this game is a series of shooting and platforming set pieces that will make you think, “Wow! I just did that? I am awesome, all hail me!”

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is an attempt to make a quick buck off gullible consumers.

    Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2
    Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a potent Genki Dama to the series’ longstanding issues, and a bigger, better game than the original by every stretch of the imagination. A true must-have for any Dragon Ball fan.

    Batman: The Telltale Series - Episode 3: New World Order
    Telltale’s Batman game continues with the most surprising episode yet. This is shaping up to be one hell of a series, despite technical issues.

    RIGS: Mechanized Combat League
    RIGS: Mechanized Combat League offers some of the only multiplayer available at the PSVR launch, but the shallow gameplay and lack of substantial content make it a tough sell at full sticker price.

    Clockwork Empires
    Clockwork Empires is broken, buggy, and frustrating, but manages to provide something very fun and satisfying for the right kind of player. There are no easy way to play, but perseverance will be rewarded.

    Gotta Protectors
    Gotta Protectors is a frenetic and charming celebration of retro Japanese games that rises above its low-fidelity presentation to deliver one seriously addictive experience.

    Corpse Party
    Corpse Party on 3DS is an improvement on an already excellent game.

    Pixel Gear
    If you're looking for a tech demo posing as a dull shooting gallery with brain-dead enemies and repetitive music, then Pixel Gear is the shovelware game for you.
