You have to deflect attacks by guarding left, right or up, while also trying to land your own blows. But the multiplayer duels seek to make every fight a toughie. The singleplayer sees you hacking and slashing weaker mobs while getting into slower, more careful bouts with bosses. That's a splendid thought, isn't it?Ī trinity of historical warrior types - vikings, samurai and knights - come together to put their swords through each other’s bellies and find out who is the best anachronism once and for all. We've almost certainly missed something we'll end up being excited about, and who knows - maybe this'll be like last year, when our eventual game of the year wasn't even on our radar when we compiled our preview. If we've missed something you're particularly excited about, do let everyone else know in the comments below. Given how quickly things move in this future age, a hundred games have probably been released since you started reading this post.

Our categories are broad so if you click the links below to peruse each of them, you should find what you're looking for easily enough, and of course you can read about all of the games by clicking the arrows next to the image above, or using your cursor keys. The games are grouped into categories by genre, but genres aren't quite as neat and tidy as they were in the days when games were all shooters and divided into the sub-genres 'War' or 'Aliens' easily enough. 2016 was a good one - in the world of games at least - but, ever the optimists, we're hoping next year will be even better. Here at RPS, our preparations come in the form of this enormous preview feature, which contains details on more than a hundred of the exciting games that are coming our way over the next twelve months. The mewling pup that goes by the name 2017 will come into the world soon and we must prepare ourselves for its arrival. As Old Father Time grabs his sickle and prepares to take ailing 2016 around the back of the barn for a big sleep, we're looking to the future.
