In a certain way, Far Cry Primal remains faithful to the original open-world formula, but somehow, in the Prehistoric Age, the freedom of the player really shines at its brightest. Ubisoft didn't waste resources on the multiplayer, and focused instead on a solid and intriguing story mode, immersed in a world so raw and savage to become majestic. A true far cry from what we usually play.

Albedo is basically a one-man game, a clever and funny arcade adventure, filled with good puzzles and a delightful atmosphere of a sci-fi movie of the '60s. An overall enjoyable experience, partially ruined by a stiff control system.

There's no dancing around the fact that Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is a disappointment. Despite a pleasant art direction and a good representation of the digital monsters, the gameplay is unbalanced, the challenge for the player is basically non-existent, and the storyline is too verbose and full of clichés.

Super Phantom Cat is a pretty good old-school platformer, with an inspired level design and a robust gameplay. Cute looking and with a great chiptune soundtrack, the game manages to challenge the player without making things too difficult or frustrating.

Bravely Second is a top-notch J-RPG. The original formula hasn't changed a bit, and that's a good thing, but it's been expanded with tons of class, skills and tactics to accommodate the need of every strategy fan. Some balancing issues won't affect an overall great experience.

A sophisticated horror story, with an excellent art direction and the ability to build a constant sense of fear and oppression. The gameplay is pretty basic and not particularly challenging, but it has its good moments.

The epitome of fan service: Project x Zone 2 is a must have for all fans of the series. Everyone else should carefully ponder the purchase of a game that's too easy, and incapable of shaking off some of its well-known flaws.

The new Street Fighter is an excellent fighting game, beautiful to watch and play, with an incredibly deep gameplay and plenty of new moves to learn and master. The lack of a real single player experience may be a problem for someone, but the game is bound to expand in the next few months. For now, it's simply the best multiplayer fighting game around.

It's not the most difficult platformer ever made, but Unravel manages to deliver a truly sweet, gentle and tender experience. It's a delicate, red ball of yarn that will twine around your heart.

XCOM 2 comes really, really close to the perfect score. The gameplay is incredibly complex, deep and polished, and the freedom for the player is simply amazing. XCOM 2 is challenging, incredibly rewarding but never frustrating. It's just February, but this is already one of the best titles of 2016.

Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo is a good rally game, although it doesn't live up to its potential. In some regards it's better than the previous WRC titles from Milestone, the amount of content is truly remarkable, and the gameplay presents a less realistic and challenging experience.

Behind an amazing art direction and great dialogue lies the moving story of an ordinary man, lost in a forest and in his life. It's a survival game in the most profound way, the survival from the fires that burn inside our soul.

Considered as a simple DLC, The Following is a big, fat expansion. As a whole (i.e., including the Enhanced Edition of the original Dying Light), the game becomes simply humongous. And the buggy is a nice new feature that makes the gameplay even richer.

Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is the perfect fan-service product, thanks to a lot of fighters and a comprehensive story mode. No doubt, the best episode of the whole saga.

Arslan: The Warriors of Legend is not the best musou created by Omega Force, but it has a pretty nice story based on a good anime license. As far as gameplay goes, do not expect nothing new or fancy, though.

Despite being short and not too challenging, TDToM is a wonderful tribute to the sci-fi movies of the '50s. The gameplay is a nice mix of hack'n'slash, dual stick shooting and platform, fun and enough varied to keep you entertained.

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon maintains the peculiar neatness of the series, with a more than consolidated roguelike gameplay, and with enough fresh ideas to keep it fun and enjoyable, years after its debut on Game Boy Advance.

This final episode of the Assassin's Creed spin-off finally lives up to its potential, with a mix of platform and stealth elements, a frantic gameplay, a robust level design, and an excellent art direction.

A game based on such tacky and cheap premises that it could have been awesome. Unfortunately, behind the fairly good visuals lie a repetitive gameplay, dull characters, dumb AIs and bad design choices.

Not A Hero is a John Woo movie in pixel art, with a demoniac, smooth and frantic gameplay, a lot of brutal action and a bizzarre humour. Be a good citizen, vote for BunnyLord.

This new masterpiece from Jonathan Blow, author of Braid, is a brilliant manifesto for consistency in game design, and for creating new ways to communicate with the player. It can estrange and bemuse, but it's an experience that anyone should live.

Another good, yet predictable iteration in the LEGO series, with the usual mix of humour, references to the Marvel universe and a gazillion of characters to unlock. The gameplay works, and the game is really fun to play, but the formula really needs a breath of fresh air.

An almost impossible game to evaluate with objectivity and using "standard" rules: the gameplay is truly basic, and the story can be as touching as your personal sensitivity to a very delicate and serious matter.

A pretty standard DLC for the Call of Duty series, but the overall quality is undeniably good. The cherry on top is a great co-op mode that perfectly fulfills the needs of fans of nazi-zombies.

Punch Club is an enjoyable experience, with nice retro graphics and a lot of homages to the action movies of the '80s. The gameplay is captivating but pretty slow, though, and it works best on smartphones and tablets (where it's already available).

On PC, Rise of the Tomb Raider is the same fantastic action adventure we played on Xbox One some months ago. if you have a high-end machine, this new version offers an even more immersive experience thanks to numerous graphical improvements.

It won't be remembered for its technical features, but the depth of the gameplay and some truly original features make Dragon's Dogma one of the best role playing games ever made.
