15 Best Games of 2016 So Far

Hyper Light Drifter

This gorgeous adventure game plays very similarly to the Zelda series but grants players an indispensable ability: a dash. Zipping around stages to avoid enemy blows and deliver your own is difficult and tense. Figuring out the combat and learning how to survive takes time, but it is well worth it. The world and enemy design are stunning, heightened by the beautiful pixel art.
