There are very few new features in this year's Football Manager but the game's match engine is the star of the show. The graphical upgrade is slight but numerous improvements in AI and animation make the beautiful game more beautiful than ever before.

Far Cry 4 is an amazing game, there is no doubt about it. Especially in a matter of content is unrivaled: huge length of the single player campaign, co-op and multiplayer capabilities and an integrated map editor. However, we hope that it will not fall in the pitfall of the annual releases like other Ubisoft's titles.

Despite ultimately feeling slightly "inferior" to the greatness that is Dragonfall, Shadowrun: Hong Kong introduces lots of much-desired improvements to the series and remains a solid RPG effort, true in every way to the high standards that we've come to expect from its developers.

Doki Doki Literature Club is a visual novella that masterfully manages to creep up on you, shatter the 4th wall with a sledgehammer and land it on your unsuspecting face.

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is a great action/platform that ideally touches on both nostalgia and the modern way of creating a quality Metroidvania game.

Wolfenstein: The New Order is one of the most enjoyable shooters you can find these days. It is not groundbreaking, it does not reinvent the wheel, but it successfully combines "old-school" gameplay with elements from modern-day shooters.

Orwell is a very well-written story about the age of surveillance. Our age. But its focus isn’t only to tell that story, it’s also is you, your ethics and your stance on the eternal question of safety vs privacy and freedom.

Chernobylite was a surprise for me. A game with addictive gameplay, interesting sci-fi plot, substantial role playing options and plenty of replayability. I definitely recommend a purchase to those interested in this type of game, but also to players who would like to try something different from the usual.

A deep and well-crafted economic simulator, not without flaws or room for improvement, but still immensely fun and faithful to the spirit that made the series great.

Mortal Kombat 11 is a worthy successor to the long-time series and one of the best and most complete fighting games in recent years. Sure, the tactics surrounding microtranscations and the extensive grinding that is implicitly required for anyone who wants to unlock everything, reduce the overall value of the game, fortunately without being irreparably affected.

NBA 2k16 justifies the expectations that the series has built over recent years. The best basketball simulator can be even better.

FIFA 16 may be the best solution, this year, for anyone looking for a football sim on the PC platform. This is mostly a result of its competition being a very bad port for PC and EA Sports playing it safe when it comes to the franchise. There might not be vast improvements from its predecessor, but FIFA 16 does have some, resulting in a game that is an awful lot of fun to play.

Unruly Heroes, despite having some unfair moments in its second half, is a game made by skillful people, featuring lavish content, gorgeous, bustling sceneries and diverse gameplay that keeps things from getting stale.

An excellent Metroidvania game, that aptly combines the best elements of the genre with quite increased difficulty.

Legion is brimming with content for every appetite. Blizzard have managed to re-capture a spark of their past glories in terms of storytelling, delivering a satisfying experience in all aspects of the game. It is now up to their hands to build on this well-constructed foundation and do not prove the expectations, which have justifiably arisen, false.

Ion Fury: Aftershock has more of a 90's Expansion Pack flair, with its 7+ hour campaign, solid level design, heart-pumping action, and low-price tag. A such, it comes with a glowing recommendation for all fans of the base game.

An unexpected gem from the East that, contrary to its very nature, is full of content, heart and soul that we rarely see in Western games.

If it were a product by Auntie Cleo, The Outer Worlds 2 would be marketed with the tagline "Now with Slightly Improved Flavor!". And fittingly so, since it is a highly entertaining sequel that takes the basic formula of the first Outer Worlds and improves upon it, even if only slightly, in every possible aspect.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a pure, albeit not complete Dishonored experience. That said, fans of stealth gameplay should definitely play it.

After Fate of Atlantis, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is perhaps the best adaptation of the beloved hero on our screens.

It might not really be the “Multiplayer Shooter to end all Multiplayer Shooters” (not quite yet, anyway), but Blizzard’s Overwatch masterfully manages to find the sweet spot between accessibility, class balance, competitive multiplayer and pure, unadulterated fun.

A worthy sequel to Deliver Us The Moon and a genuinely atmospheric experience. Some technical problems are not enough to tarnish the very positive overall impression.

Victor Vran is, beyond doubt, one of the most well-made and entertaining indie games of this year. It may not be the most profound or stat heavy action-RPG ever made but it has a lot of content, it is highly addictive, and shuns conventions of the genre for some interesting concepts of its own.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has some strong competition in a genre teeming with good games and even though it doesn't set any new standards, its a fine example of nostalgia trip done right.

Impressive, more accessible than its predecessors, but at the same time quite deep and with exciting gameplay mechanics. Arc Systems Works has done it again.

Having as its focal point a topic that will never cease to preoccupy humanity, boasting ideal scaling of the plot and being equipped with one of the best characters' roster that a representative of adventure games can present, it makes us already expect the first announcement regarding the beginning of its sequel's production.

Resident Evil Village may look like schlocky gothic horror at first glance, but looks can be deceiving. Despite packing more action than its predecessor, it delivers one of the tightest narratives in the series through exceptional gameplay and memorable set pieces.

Visage is quite possibly the most oppressive experience we've had since Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The variety of gameplay and terrifying set pieces make this surreal nightmare of human psyche and things lurking in the dark, a must play.
