Ori is arguably the most lushly beautiful 2D game ever created - a neat disguise for a Metroid-inspired platformer with sections designed by, I think, Pol Pot or the Devil. I cried too - but primarily at a section where I was using fireballs and my enemies corpses as mid-air catapults to escape being crushed. Its Ghibli visuals and Pixar storyline hit people where they least expected it - their emotions. Theres been a lot said about how Ori and the Blind Forest might make you cry actual tears out of your stone-like gaming eyeballs. It's a shame about Halo 5's story, but that shouldn't stop you from appreciating an otherwise impeccable package. Larger, more vertically-designed battlefields in the campaign kept us challenged, aim-down sights haven't changed the feel of combat, microtransactions feel fairly priced and aren't a slog if you opt to earn them, new traversal options make Halo 5 the fastest and most freeform Halo yet, and Warzone is the best new mode since Firefight. While some of these experiments didn't pan out quite the way we hoped, those that succeeded did so in a resounding way. A new character taking the spotlight away from Master Chief was equally surprising, as was the new multiplayer mode, Warzone. Adding aim-down sights was considered by some to be heresy of the highest order, the removal of split-screen prompted petitions, and the news of microtransactions riled the playerbase. Much has already been said about Halo 5: Guardians' lackluster (to put it lightly) story, but you can't say that developer 343 Industries didn't take risks, and that attitude extends far beyond plot.

Yeah, the licenses still suck, and Japlish translations jar, but PES 2016 is the series finest distillation of footballs bittersweet juxtapositions since its PS2-heyday - walking a tightrope between scientific precision and maddening, delightful, unpredictability. Its the Hearthstone of football tactics, but youll need sublime reflexes and, well, luck to triumph on the pitch. PES 2016 isnt just played on the pitch, but in the 90 seconds of pre-match tactical adjustment, with players reacting to their opponents play-style - or trying to impose their own - desperately shifting players into intricate 11-point-polygons, precision-matching team compactness to passing length, or doubling-down on aggressive pressing. It transforms single-player games against the AI, but makes online multiplayer matches against humans almost maddeningly tactical. The fluid formation system allows your team to seamlessly shift tactics based on phases of play: at kick off, in possession or when chasing the ball. Yet Konamis defining success isnt individual, but collective: in the way your players make incisive off-the-ball runs, hustle and harry in packs, or segue into preset formations like migrating swallows mirroring real-life team attributes. You dont need lightning-fast right-stick tricks to dribble past players, just an intuitive understanding of your players' real-life attributes, and measured sweeps and pokes of the left stick. Collision System and Emotional Intelligence - PES 2016 nukes the jargon to feel like football. I cant fully explain how something like MonHun exists, never mind on a 3DS cart, but we are very lucky to have it.Īfter years locked in a mutually-destructive physics and AI arms race with EAs FIFA series exchanging blows over enhancements like PES ID, M.A.S.S. Stellar localisation, massively improved tutorials and combat systems deep enough to give you vertigo make this a game designed to offer something at all times - Ive farmed in the space between train stops, spent eight hours fighting Elder Dragons on a plane, and spent countless days screaming at friends in my bedroom (mainly because I was playing Monster Hunter).

See someone stride into a multiplayer lobby wearing full Khezu armour, and you know theyve had to kill a lot of monsters that look like angry, flying penises. It makes every suit, every blade a map of how you played this strange, massive game. An action-RPG built around loot, with no levelling to speak of, your characters skills are determined by the arms and armour they wield - and almost all of that equipment is crafted out of monster pieces youve chopped off in the course of the game. I spent as much time this year using talking cats to fish for lobsters as I did sucking the toxic juices out of mega-beetles faces - and that, in essence, is what makes Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate quite so special.
