Holy shit, it's... not as bad as I expected.

Megaman 11

The first mainline Megaman game in 8 years

I've got to admit, it's pretty weird writing about these guys in a positive category for once.

Ninja Theory

They said "FUCK YOU" to making bad games

We miss you, buddy. Please come home.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

After years in the gutter, Crash is back

Nintendo decided to switch things up this year.

Nintendo

They learnt their lesson from the Wii U

It's not often a game called vaporware actually comes out, let alone is good.

Cuphead

A great slam and then some

TROO FARU

Sonic Mania

Doing Sonic better than Sonic Team themselves

What did this redeem? We liked Nier, remember?

Nier: Automata

2B's Ass

Look, I'll be real here, I haven't played this yet because of that DRM shit.

Assassin's Creed: Origins

The yearly AC release that is surprisingly good

Between Menat, announcing Mega Man 11, Sakura, and a certain crazy party slated for E3, Capcom's starting to remember why we loved them to begin with.

Capcom

Making games instead of pachinko machines

It's been over a decade since Resident Evil 4, I'm glad they decided to continue the series. A little confused as to why they skipped 5 and 6 though.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

An apology for giraffe fellatio

Dreamcast 2 when?

Sega

Giving indie devs a chance instead of a DMCA notice

Widely considered not better or worse than AM2R, good press was what this game needed after the fiasco.

Metroid: Samus Returns

Samus returns, and it's not like Other M
