    Paper Mario: Color Splash
    They say the devil’s in the detail, but Color Splash proves quite the opposite. In the minutiae it excels, while many of its broader systems hit a little wide of the mark. Despite its flaws, it’s very difficult to dislike, perhaps because every niggling issue is quickly followed by a moment of grin-inducing silliness or awe-inspiring beauty. This might not be the return to classic Paper Mario that its devotees have been awaiting, nor is it a bold reinvention that vindicates Nintendo’s need to innovate. It is, however, one of the most heartwarming games you’ll play this year.

    Until Dawn: Rush of Blood
    Horrifically brilliant, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is simultaneously what you want and don’t want VR horror to be. A blood-drenched fairground ride of cackling delight. Step right up.

    Batman: Arkham VR
    A brilliant slice of Bat action that lets you make the most of being the World’s Greatest Detective. Don the cowl. It’s worth every penny.

    Dragon Quest Builders
    Combat could be better, but Dragon Quest Builders combines RPG structure and freeform creativity to great effect. It's Minecraft for people who hate Minecraft.

    XCOM 2
    Impossible to recommend ahead of the PC version because of some issues with the port, but nonetheless one of the most unique experiences on console.

    NBA 2K17
    NBA 2K17 continues the theme of excellence that has made the series so popular. It’s slick, smart, and deep. It is the model that all modern sports video games should aspire to be, appealing to virtually every type of player and fan.

    FIFA 17
    Not the transformative experience offered by this year's PES, but still unmatched in the genre for atmosphere, licenses, and finer details.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron
    Assured creativity and a smart eye for systemic refreshment make for a confident and classy expansion.

    Forza Horizon 3
    A superbly-produced, feature-rich racing game. Too much of it may feel like busywork and filler, but few other racers are this slick or feature-packed, and it certainly has moments of magic.

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2017
    A long-overdue return to form that finally surpasses Pro Evo's PS2 glory days – and, assuming presentation woes are fixed, lays the foundations for an all-new footballing empire.

    ReCore
    Littered with bugs, excruciating load times, and a severely padded ending, ReCore is a great example of good ideas, flawed execution.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice
    Spirit of Justice strikes right to the core of what makes Ace Attorney games great: bold, dramatic narrative, a ridiculous sense of humour, and outstanding writing. The first truly superb AA game in years.

    The King of Fighters XIV
    Whether or not you dig its new look, KOF 14 offers everything you could want in a fighting game: refined gameplay, a bevy of appealing characters, and accessibility that gives way to complex depth.

    Madden NFL 17
    New running features makes this the most balanced and enjoyable Madden yet, but a few awkward sights and sounds will remind you that it’s just a game.

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
    Mankind Divided is full of great moments, from the lengthy journey across The Throat of Golem City, to the simple pleasure of crouching in a Prague bank, wondering how next to proceed.

    No Man's Sky
    No Man's Sky is impressive, unusual and staggeringly vast. Despite some moments of tedium, its gravitational pull will keep many players perpetually engaged.

    ABZU
    Absolutely gorgeous and a joy to behold, but sticks too close to Journey's formula for its own good.

    Headlander
    Headlander has a few rough spots, but its 70s retro/sci-fi aesthetic and head-swapping gameplay are out of this world.

    I Am Setsuna
    I Am Setsuna aims to invoke the spirit of classic 16-Bit JRPGs like Chrono Trigger, but its obtuse combat and monotonous pacing keep it from reaching those lofty heights.

    Monster Hunter Generations
    Predictably impenetrable, but cut through the leathery hide and there's enough great game in here to give a Tigrex indigestion.

    Song of the Deep
    An undersea adventure that is more about seeing the sights than captivating gameplay.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens
    A fun adventure in the Star Wars universe, badly let down by too many game-breaking glitches.

    Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma
    If you’ve already bought into the Zero Escape series’ charming kind of malice, there’s simply no question that you’ll enjoy this, too. If you find yourself curious about rescuing people from certain doom by solving puzzles, I strongly encourage you to at least start with Virtue’s Last Reward, and preferably go back to 999 and enjoy the entire blood-soaked journey.

    INSIDE
    Whether or not it achieves the same touchstone status as Limbo, Inside is a spellbinding, haunting experience - one I don't intend to relive any time soon, but absolutely recommend.

    Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness
    Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness wants to be a grand sci-fi JRPG, but its mediocre production values undercut it at almost every opportunity.

    Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
    Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is basically the JRPG equivalent of a nightclub foam party - an absurd fun premise, great tunes, and surprisingly deep combat.

    Mighty No. 9
    Frustrating to play and a pale imitation of Mega Man, Mighty No. 9 is unlikely to command the same reverence as its older cousin.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mirror's Edge Catalyst
    Catalyst does some interesting stuff but doesn’t add enough to the mix. It’s a game I enjoyed but one that also left me feeling partly frustrated and sad. While it has good ideas and mechanics, they peak early and, in such a sparse and minimalist space, struggle to carry the whole game.

    Hitman - Episode 3: Marrakesh
    Hitman's Marrakech level is a vibrant, righteous continuation of an excellent format.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine
    Blood and Wine is a gripping murder mystery set in a picturesque new locale, and a fitting end to the story of Geralt of Rivia.
