![]() ![]() I'm notoriously bad at multiplayer shooters, so games belonging to the category need to be really, really good for me to enjoy them. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a masterpiece, but if you finished the game, the fun is not over yet. If only Capcom made more of an effort in the story department, this would be a clear Best of the Show contender, but it still has a very easy time in grabbing a platform win on gameplay alone. Yet, "just another Monster Hunter" is still an enormously fun and addictive game to play. Some would say that Monster Hunter X is ultuimately just another Monster Hunter, and it's honestly difficult to blame them. Let me play this game without having to haul a dictionary along with my Vita? Thanks in advance. So please Xseed, pretty please with sugar on top. The only problem, is that we still don't know if it'll ever come to the west. Tokyo Xanadu is the perfect embodiment of the Nihon Falcom JRPG: big, deep, with a great story, and a ton of very interesting characters. Since it's already out in the west, if you have a Wii U, you owe it to yourself to try this out. It's simply an extremely fun, immersive and almost cathartic game, with its deliberate pace and absolutely stylish graphics. When I found out that Affordable Space Adventures was at the show, I drew a breath of relief, because this title would have been a very serious contender even if Nintendo itself was at the show. ![]() Truth is that finding one of those was harder than finding games for Xbox One, and that says it all, in Japan. On Saturday morning, I was pretty literally in a panic, spinning around the show floor to try and find a Wii U Game. This was another difficult award to assign. The army of moogles and their million of menial tasks gave me a tiny bit of hesitation, but the many powerful moments and even quite a few tear-jerking instances (yes, in a MMORPG, let that sink), blew that hesitation away.īest Wii U Game: Uexplore: Affordable Space Adventures Great dungeons, great environments, awesome new classes. It's even much superior to A Realm Reborn, which already had a great story, and it blows everything else out of the water. ![]() Not only its content is extremely solid and varied, but the story is jut on a different level compared to the shallow narration MMORPGs normally have. That, for me, is definitely award-worthy.īest PC Game: Final Fantasy XIV: Heavesnswardįinal Fantasy XIV: Heavensward is the best MMORPG expansion that I ever played. The IP itself provides the game with a very deep narration and a great cast.Īnime tie-in games are often rather shallow, but Arslan seem to be well on its way to change that trend. Not only it offers some of the best Musou gameplay I've seen in a long time, but it ties it up with the story in an extremely enjoyable way. There was one massive contender (and I'm sure many of you can guess what it was), but in the end Arslan came on top by a hair. It brings home three awards, and they're all well deserved.īest Xbox One Game: Arslan: The Warriors of Legend The new weapons and enemies are a big bundle of fun, and the bow made me really wonder just how good a Souls-like game by Hidetaka Miyazaki and based on ranged weapons would be. Considering the busy schedule, that's not something I had time to do for anything else. It was so good, that I had to play it through twice. As for the rest, it was just a fantastic ride. The only complaint I had, was the demo was too easy, but it was defanged for the sake of the sanity of the show floor crowd. Bloodborne is a fantastic game, and what I tried of The Old Hunters is more of that fantastic, in a package that rivals with many full games in terms of content. I can already hear you: "But it's just an expansion!" Yes it is, and yes, it doesn't matter. Game of the Show: Bloodborne: The Old Hunters Many of the categories were very close, but unfortunately only one can win. Taste definitely plays a big role here, so don't feel bad if your favorite game didn't get a nod. Remember that it's perfectly ok to disagree with the awards. If you're curious (and if you aren't, what are you here for, again?) you can find the full list below. What were the most impressive games this year? Like with every trade show, though, it's time to get serious (yeah, sure), and talk about awards. This year the lineup was very rich, and we got to see a lot of solid titles, from AAA experiences to small indie games, on top of one of my personally favorite (and rather unique) parts of the show: booths dedicated to development schools showing off the work of the developers of tomorrow. Despite the absence of big consoles manufacturers like Nintendo and this year Microsoft, the amount of diversity is definitely fantastic, and Japanese games, that tend to be neglected in other shows, take front and center stage. Many feel that Tokyo Game Show is less relevant than other trade shows, but I tend of disagree. ![]()
