    Street Fighter V
    Even online modes feel scaled back compared to previous SF games, and, combined with a hollow single-player campaign, this is a big letdown. Yes, Capcom will be releasing DLCs with new characters and locations, but this process will likely take years. Right now, SF5 does not justify its “full AAA” pricetag. The game has many merits, but it will take some time before it becomes the best one in the series.

    Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-
    This game will charm you as soon as you will see its loading screens and listen to first heavy metal chords of its awesome soundtrack.

    • 60 Critic Score
    American Truck Simulator
    American Truck Simulator is not a completely new game. Despite whatever its developers say, this is just a big stand-alone expansion for Europe Truck Simulator 2, complete with the same engine, UI and all-too familiar problems.

    The Deadly Tower of Monsters
    Nice humor, fierce combat and a very cool concept. They should’ve cut the final stretch and the ending, though.

    Gemini: Heroes Reborn
    A dumb addition to a dumb TV show.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Darkest Dungeon
    It would be a mistake to call Darkest Dungeon a roguelike game. It is, in fact, a more elaborate version of Cookie Clicker. You play with numbers instead of playing a game.
    • 88 Metascore

    XCOM 2
    If you like XCOM, and you want more of the same — well, here you go.

    Bombshell (2016)
    The credits promise that «Bombshell will return». Please don’t.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Human Resource Machine
    In contrast to Hack ‘n’ Slash and The Magic Circle where you can only break or corrupt the system, Human Resource Machine allows you to create your own algorithms which is much closer to actual programming.

    Grand Ages: Medieval
    In an attempt to please all kinds of strategy players by adding city building, trading and wars, Grand Ages: Medieval miserably fails on all accounts.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
    Despite a ton of annoying drawbacks, Dark Arisen is probably of the few somewhat enjoyable PC ports of a Japanese RPG.

    Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry
    This unnecessarily drawn out, dull revenge story will bore you to death before it reaches its predictable ending — even if you have been longing for a pirate adventure.

    Yakuza 5
    There are tons of interesting stuff to do and see in Yakuza 5, it will entertain you for dozens… no, hundreds of hours.
    • 86 Metascore

    Rise of the Tomb Raider
    Imagine the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider in a different setting using a modified engine and sans useless multiplayer, because the rest is pretty much the same.

    Oxenfree
    Maybe they should have made this story into a radio play rather than a video game?..
    • 71 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    Sublevel Zero
    Sublevel Zero has some cool ideas, and it valiantly attempts to mimic the classic Descent series, but loses its steam in just a couple of hours.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak
    Despite a somewhat muddled ending, this single player campaign is one of the best in recent years.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below
    Poorly written story and drab gameplay ruin the fun of playing this colorful, kind-hearted game.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 39 Critic Score
    Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series
    Telltale’s Game of Thrones is a bad-looking, dumb, predictable drama. It has some powerful moments, but compared to the show and the books, this is nothing more than a farce.

    Undertale
    An interesting concept, a weak execution.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Zombie Vikings
    Zombie Vikings is the first beat-‘em-up game where the story and jokes are so good that they make you slog through its tedious combat.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Valhalla Hills
    Alas, Valhalla Hills is too repetitive and simple, and its randomly generated maps are not a replacement for a normal single-player campaign.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Chaos Reborn
    Chaos Reborn is a very accessible strategy game. It will take you just half an hour to learn all of its secrets. Thanks to simple rules, a turn lasts just a few seconds, and the entire session usually ends in 10 minutes or less. But you will be glued to this game for hours.

    Dispatcher
    Lame attempts at jokes destroy any semblance of atmosphere, while monsters are just dumb and annoying, and not scary at all.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Tales of Zestiria
    Tales of Zestiria is not a very welcoming game, and feels too bland at times, but if you’re not a JRPG connoisseur, you’ll probably enjoy it.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Broforce
    Broforce is a 2D relative of Just Cause. Got bored? Go entertain yourself. Life’s too difficult? You can stop whenever you want. Just don’t expect anything from the developers — they put hundreds of exploding barrels everywhere, gave us a ton of guns and called it a day.

    Underrail
    UnderRail manages to capture the spirit of the original Fallout even despite its abhorrent UI, heavy focus on combat, unforgiving character development system, and the final chapter which is basically a guide on how not to design a role-playing game.

    NBA 2K16
    This NBA 2K is surely rife for nitpicking. Annoying update notifications, clunky menus, AI blunders, Spike Lee’s unnecessary meddling with the well-oiled machine of MyCareer, a rough Gauntlet mode, and traditional connectivity problems. But still, even with all that, NBA 2K16 is like a complex, mesmerizing painting.

    Anna's Quest
    It’s an adventure equivalent of tasteless chewing gum. It works OK as filler, but you will not even remember this game a year later.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The Park
    The Park feels like a typical soulless tie-in game, only it promotes a MMORPG instead of a summer movie.
