With 2015 behind us we can now look on to 2016 and start getting excited for the games coming out this year. These three games are the top that I am looking forward to this year.

The Last Guardian

I didn’t get on the Team Ico bandwagon until late in the game. The first time I ever played Ico or The Shadow of the Colossus was early last year but even though I haven’t been waiting since the games original announcement in 2009, I am still incredibly excited for The Last Guardian.

Super Hot

I dont know what I can say about Super Hot that I have not already said. Its a first person shooter where time only moves when you move and it looks crazy and feels awesome to play. The game was going to be released late last year but has gotten pushed until early this year.

Dark Souls 3

Similar to Team Ico, I haven’t been on the From Software bandwagon for very long. I started playing Dark Souls 2 when it came out and I fell in love with the intense complexity that only seems to come from the Souls games (Bloodborne included). I eagerly await the next chapter in the Dark Souls series.
