Not a Falcon but a Nostalgia Punch. The mix of modern and old code and slight tweaks to the original make this an amazing remaster. Old and new skating fans should not miss out on this game.

Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus is a visual marvel filled with interesting but, sadly, underdeveloped characters. It is a gorgeous game that can be very rewarding but also brutally hard and punishing, especially with its platforming puzzles and sequences that often lack balance.

If a football game with various fantasy races sounds like a great idea to you, then you can't go wrong with this game. With deep and rewarding systems, Blood Bowl 2 is a great starting point for newcomers to this series and a logical upgrade for fans of the previous installments.

Cat Quest III builds upon its predecessor, making it an even more enjoyable experience. Quite charming and fun to play, especially if you bring a buddy for some cooperative pirate action! Too bad it does not last a tad bit longer. Either way, it’s a relaxing blast to play through.

On the gameplay level, Zubmariner doesn't bring too much to the table. But it's the mythos and continuation of the story what will keep you exploring the depths and dark places of this Lovecraftian tale.

A humorous package of sweet nostalgia, with some really great battle mechanics. After a while, it could get dull, but it should not stop you from getting many enjoyable hours before that.

Fae Farm simplifies farming to a point where you might not want to come back to the old ways of Animal Crossing and alike. It may be a different cup of tea altogether, but there’s just something satisfying in snappy and dynamic actions with zero wasted time. It may grow repetitive after a while and may not be awfully long, but surely is a refreshing title for the ever-growing genre of farming games.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R is a true delight for the fans of the series, skillfully recreating one of the best titles the franchise had to offer. But if you weren’t a fan of the original game, there's a high chance you won't particularly enjoy this one either. The game features intriguing characters and their relationships, beautiful graphics and a diverse world. Yet, the story lacks depth, and the somewhat clunky combat system is likely to divide the audience into those who love it and those who wouldn’t even want to touch it.

Nobody Wants to Die is a visually impressive cyberpunk noir experience that will surely captivate you with its futuristic cityscapes and its great yet cliché story. It is a tad bit too linear, and it will not pose much challenge or diversity when it comes to gameplay, but it will surely give you that dose of neo-noir you have been searching for.

WarioWare: Move It! manages to be one of the most entertaining entries of the franchise yet, especially if you plan on playing it with friends. And yet, once you check out and master all of the mini-games, you will hardly ever return to play it again.

Now that the season is complete, we can conclude that the latest Hitman was one solid stealth adventure, providing huge open levels for players to explore on their own. Agent 47, although quite old, is still alive and kicking.

Super Dungeon Muncher is a cute little roguelike puzzler that will test your reflexes (and your frustrations) in a really creative way. Even though it is a bit lacking in additional modes, it will provide you with a lot of fun.

Alongside Football Manager, Out of the Park Baseball 16 stands as the best sports sim at the moment.

World of Goo 2 is a proper sequel. But it feels like some of the magic was lost in a 16-year-long stretch from the original. Undoubtedly a quirky, charming, and original game everyone should try out. However, the experiences will vastly vary based on your current mood and expectations.

As a standalone title, Bravely Default II stands as a superb JRPG. But when it gets to be compared to the original, it sadly falls short. No matter how great its strengths are, they will always be remembered as being even greater before. Yet you should still not miss it if you are into the genre or if you loved the original, as it is a wonderful title no matter what you compare it to.

Gamedec is one weird Polish gem that comes both unpolished (pun intended) and innovative and creative. It truly is a true role-playing game with great and interesting mechanics that incentivize player choice, although it suffers from various tiny gameplay design problems and lack of finishing touches that would make it a truly defining video game that can rival paragons of the genre like Disco Elysium.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits has many strengths, but because of that all the flaws tend to stick out even stronger. The lack of polish makes this magical world feel a bit artificial. All that is great about it, truly is amazing. But when you grab the controller itself, you will feel every bump down this 10 hour long road.

The gameplay and the combat of Lost Judgment are phenomenal, the story is amazing, and the side missions are, as always, an absolute blast. Despite all of the positives, the world is a little bit too overcrowded and looks like something we've already seen before from RGG.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 - Turbocharged is a great continuation of the iconic series that adds a story mode, better way to get cars, and more tweaks and fixes. Despite that, it didn’t really bring anything new or revolutionary to the arcade racing genre, making it somewhat underwhelming. The nostalgia factor is still there though.

AI LIMIT copies so many elements that the genre has already established. But it still manages to find its unique way and deliver an unforgettable experience. It is a simple but undeniably atmospheric game. And we fell in love with it.

One of the most interesting choose-you-own-adventure style games we've played so far, where each of you choices has actual consequences. You will want to play Stories over and over again, discovering all its secrets and branching paths until you get the full picture. And that is one of its greatest powers.

Pagan Online is very interesting hack ’n’ slash twin-stick ARPG, based on Slavic mythology, that is bravely trying to implement some new, more casual but fun experience into the genre. Aside from its bugs and few balancing problems, it has great potential and it is already managing to separate itself from the big competitors in the genre.

Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is the best entry in the series since Origins — a stunning visual achievement with a solid gameplay loop that, unfortunately, loses momentum over time and is held back by a weak story.

Sonic Superstars somehow manages to be rough and inconsistent in terms of quality yet remarkably likable – just like the series itself has always been! It surely is a game that could use more polish and care, but even in the state that we found it in, it was a lot of fun. By no means a perfect Sonic experience but surely one of the most entertaining we’ve had in years.

Although it’s a real-time strategy, in this game you rely on your strategy and wisdom, rather than reflexes. Experience deep tactical game with authentic historical units of the era wrapped in some interesting and refreshing gameplay mechanics.

Despite repetitive environments, long loading times, and a clunky narrative, Ninja Gaiden 4 is a worthy homage to the late Tomonobu Itagaki. It offers perhaps the most refined combat mechanics the series has ever seen. And it’s undeniably the bloodiest entry — a true ninja gore-fest.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is a massive and charming JRPG with a heartfelt story, classic turn-based gameplay and polished visuals and music. While some pacing and repetition issues remain, it’s a rewarding adventure for both longtime fans and newcomers.

As many roguelikes before it, Leap of Fate can be a harsh game where one mistake leads to death and restarting the game. But the developers decided for an approach where your character will keep certain bonuses even after the death, making Leap of Fate less punishing, but ultimately more rewarding game.

Nioh 3 is a mechanically rich action RPG that refines the series’ trademark combat while experimenting with a semi-open structure. Its strongest moments deliver exceptional flow and mastery, though repetitive objectives and technical issues hold it back. Not the series’ peak, but still one of the most satisfying skill-driven RPGs available.

This first slice of the Starcraft 2 DLC scheme left us wanting for more, as it always happens with Blizzard's strategy games. Even short, this is as polished and fun as any other "big" campaign in Starcraft 2, though we'd prefer if the upcoming missions could arrive sooner.

Another great set of tables by Zen Studios, a trio of pinballs that's an obvious recommendation to fans of Alien saga. This pack offers dozens of hours of hectic fun even to players who have less interest in the source material, considering these are among the most challenging pinballs the studio has produced to date.

MH: Rise is an excellent addition to the franchise, and it worked flawlessly as one of the best Nintendo Switch titles. This next-gen port lives up to the expectations and provides great new gameplay inclusions and mechanics. However, but still fails to come up with the masterpiece that was MH: World due to its hardware limitations in level design, difficulty and overall graphics and atmosphere.

Aside from its control scheme, That Dragon, Cancer is one of the essential experiences of 2016. The masterful way it conveys its story of grief and loss brings a tear to the eye and makes it impossible not to empathize with its protagonists.

A successful adaptation of an already good mobile game. Heal or kill - Bio Inc. teaches you basic medicine while having fun.

Far Cry 6 tries to be something new but falls short on all ideas. The Supremo backpack and the design of Yara are on point, but you will be playing the same game you’ve been playing for years now when you scratch beneath the skin of this one. If you love the Far Cry series, you will love 6, but don’t expect anything new or revolutionary during your gameplay.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden boasts an amazing story with incredible voice acting. The setting, the narrative and the overall feel of the game is terrific and on par with high-budget games. However, the game has a faulty combat system, which is janky, crude, and lacks fluidity. Having said that, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is definitely one of those games I replay at least once a year.

Lost Ruins takes a perfect spin on the standard Metroidvania formula and adds some strategy into the mix. Beautiful visuals, great atmosphere and clever action design make this a game no fan of the genre should ever miss.

This is still the good old Street Fighter, where the bouts are decided in the blink of an eye, flashy and difficult to master. It's not the most expansive fighting game content-wise, but Capcom will be adding free content throughout the year, making SFV a "gaming service" and without the need to release several different editions which would only segregate the audience. Street Fighter V has a very bright future.

Blade & Soul is a complete MMO package. The combat is excellent, it has a deep crafting system and highly developed PvE and PvP that are constantly being expanded. If you grew tired of the same old MMO formula, give this gem a try.

Wreckin Ball Is best played with friends or family. The game offers a lot of crazy levels and some impressive physics mechanics.

Torment excels at great narrative and storytelling, colorful characters and integrative quest lines. Wonderful and weird world of Numenera will soak you in for dozens of hours, but weak fight mechanics will definitely turn off some hardcore RPG players.

RE: Village is a mixture of almost all previous Resident Evil elements, making the most of both survival horror and puzzle intensity, but with the primary stage being left for the more action-like nature of Resident Evil 4. It has some great story moments, sprinkled with a few lacklustre characters that are still overshadowed by its most notable characteristic – most detailed environment to date.

How do you make a great aRPG? Just take everything fans love about the genre, gather core developers from Iron Lore Entertainment, take a pinch of Diablo and a hefty amount of Lovecraft, Barker and King. This is how you'll get Grim Dawn, a must-have game for every true dungeon-crawl fan.

Bleeding Edge brings refreshments to the hero-shooter genre, with complex gameplay, variability in play-styles and crazy characters. Unfortunately, the content offered here is not much, and Ninja Theory should work on this aspect in the future.

Amount of work put in this game is incredible. It was hard to imagine that one game with combine classic FPS mechanics with supernatural abilities, but here we are. Bright Memory is a short but sweet experience, more of a demo than a game, but it will probably be compensated with the next planed game.

It might not be the most original idea ever, but it is a solid twin-stick brawler with familiar elements from card games. And we just can't stop playing it.

MW2 Campaign Remastered is everything you can expect from a remaster of one of the best CoD campaigns and FPS campaigns in general.

Can you utilize them to bring the power back to the people who already suffered the apocalypse twice? It's up to you to never surrender, in this imaginative and weird roguelike that is clearly not fine, but double the fine! Or just play it while waiting for Psychonauts 2, that should work fine as well.

A must-play for fans of the Deponia series and adventure game fans in general. The latest in the Deponia series is as witty and gorgeous as its predecessors, but just on the verge of stretching the series too thin.

Great use of a license. Everything we know and love about Zen Pinball games, this time on a Portal table.

New FIFA installment, does not bring much to the table of the hungry fans. Yet, the new VOLTA mode brings quite enough to justify this year's release.

Yumia marks a bold new chapter for the Atelier series—not just with its true open-world design, but through a noticeable shift toward classic JRPG mechanics and a step back from the series’ traditional alchemy-focused systems.

Surprisingly fun gameplay and some nice humor will stick you to this game for quite some time.

Man of Medan is the first entry in what should be a series of horror games based on urban legends in the Dark Pictures Anthology. It combines all the classic elements from choice and consequence adventures and puts them into an uneasy environment, where nobody of the main characters is safe. It has flaws in the terms of camera and exploration features, but it can be a very solid beginning to something new in the horror gaming genre.
