With most of the big games finally released for 2016 and only a couple weeks till 2017, what games are you looking forward to next year?
Yakuza 0 & Yakuza Kiwami - I've always wanted to try out this series, especially with my Japanese culture draw lately, so I'm very glad we are getting 0 and the remake of Yakuza one in the same year.
Resident Evil 7 - I'm both excited and reserved for this one. I am glad they are moving back to a more true survival horror experience, but I feel a lot of it is too familiar to games that are nothing but jump scares, hiding, and running. That's not a fun game to me, but RE7 has actual combat in it, so I'm curious if that'll work better for me. I have played the demo and they are suitably creepy, which is a good start.
Berserk: Band of the Hawk - I've never liked too many of the Musou games, but with Hyrule Warriors and then Attack on Titan, and now Berserk which looks bloody and crazy as a Berserk game should be, I'm stoked to play this. I find it funny that the video game looks way better than the anime lol
Horizon: Zero Dawn - Open World? Check. Scifi? Check. Post-Apocalyptic? Check. Kinda everything I love lol
Mass Effect: Andromeda - I've liked the series with ME2&3, so it'll be nice to return and its looks like a pretty nice overhaul with more exploration and a whole new galaxy to explore.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole - It's dumb, it's fun, so I'll definitely grab this.
Yooka-Laylee & A Hat in Time - One is a game made by fans of the original N64 platformers, like Banjo-Kazooie. The other is a game that is a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie made by people who also made Banjo-Kazooie. I love everything about both.
Red Dead Redemption 2 - I'm not someone that particularly loves the western setting, nothing wrong with it, but I had a great time with the first game and this is one I've been wanting them to make since GTA5 came out, because if this game is nearly as good as that, or better, I will be amazed. That's a great open world.
Games I'm interested in, but not sure of yet.
