1. The Witcher 3 : Despite my growing concerns about the polish (see what I did here) of this game, due to a 3rd (see what .. ah .. nevermind) delay, the dedication of this studio and their vision makes this franchise something truly special (not only in the context of games) and, as such, has been my Most Anticipated entertainment product since its official announcement
2. Project Phoenix : JRPG with a squad based RTS game design. To me, those are simply magic words. My favorite genre all-time. And the pedigree of the people working on it (check the kickstarter page). All hail Uematsu.
3. Rainbow Six Siege : Since the announcement of COD MW 2 that I havent been this exited for a Multiplayer shooter. It seems to be right at my alley, with a slower pace where every shot counts, alongside a design that looks to reward planning and team work. I usually hate online-only games. But since this is not story-driven, I think they gained a lot by focusing their development process.
4. Metal Gear Solid V : I dont like the Solid Snake's storylines and love the Big Boss's ones. I am still to understand which one is really Kojima's passion project. On one hand, the current day ones are where he unleashes all his craziness and uniqueness (I respect that), but on the other hand, knowing his passion for History, Books and Movies with some undertone, I cant stop thinking that the cold war games are the ones where he feels more at home and expresses his art in a more meaningful way. Bearing that in mind, I am a bit worried that this game is less Metal Gear 3 and more of the other genre. Hopefully no, and we will get the continuation of the masterpiece that was 3 and maybe a bridge to 1 (David Hayter as Snake and Kiefer as Boss).
5. Hellblade : Since Santa Monica is overdue for a Nordic action game, looking at the somewhat respectful work Ninja did with DmC, I am greatly curious to see what they have in store in terms of gameplay fluidity and graphical spectacle in the Ragnarok.
6. Bloodborne : Purely Souls and Miyazaki hype. Nonetheless, day by day, the worry that this game will have low variety and be too much rooted in co-op is making my expectations drop.
7. Hyper Light Drifter : If Bloodborne sucks, I think this will help heal some wounds.
8. Uncharted 4 : Not a big fan of the franchise. Then, TLOU happened. Seeing Bruce and Neil are conducting it, and the recent trailer with the environment being used as more than cover to peak and shoot definitely got my attention and resonated a context in a more grounded way. Give Drake more brain and less muscles and you have me.
9. No Man's Sky : It has to be in everybody's list, even if no one truly knows what that is. But cmon, even if it is all a pipe-dream, at least we had a nice dream with Hello Games.
10. Mighty no 9 : Stealth pick of the game I am convinced I will be least disappointed with and will have most fun during all year. Next remake is Onimusha dude!
