Nioh

Release date: February 7, 2017

Complex combat mechanics, large weapon variety, and frustratingly difficulty, Nioh could be Team Ninja’s most hard-earned and satisfying challenge since Ninja Gaiden. This third-person RPG takes place in demon-plagued Japan and shares various traits with the Dark Soul’s series. One, being that it will test your mental endurance as you die constantly in hopes of succession. You’ll have to cut your way through all sorts of resilient enemies to find new gear, upgrade abilities, and overcoming a seemingly undefeatable boss fight that will take hours on end.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Platform(s): Wii U, Switch

Release date: March 3, 2017  

Emphasizing a wide open world experience that takes place in monster-infested wilderness rather than a populated landscape with too many cutscenes, Breath of the Wild is a beautiful shift from the handholding adventures that’s been traded during the 21st century. We couldn’t be more happier. The brand new NX that it’s featured on, is actually close in spirit to the NES original from all those decades ago, and provides the nostalgia that we yearn for.
