Your most anticipated game as of right now

I guess FF XV. Kind of a shitshow though and I don't have too much faith in Tabata. Hope it ends up being fun and they can just move onto XVI asap.

FFVII remake, bar none.

I've never even played Nier or Drakengard but I'm stoked as hell for Automata.

Sonic Mania looks fantastic and the first time in a long time I've been genuinely excited for the franchise.

Zelda is a big one too, but since that's such a gameplay-experience type game, I'm trying to be more low-key and let all the excitement rush in once I've played it for myself.
 
Honestly, the PS4 port of Darkest Dungeon. I've watched quite a bit of PC gameplay, and it looks right up my alley.

There are some other good games coming up (e.g. Horizon Zero Dawn, Dishonored 2) but they can hold off a bit.
 
Forza Horizon 3 as there's only 2 weeks to go.

Long-term I'd say Mass Effect Andromeda, Horizon Zero Dawn and Star Citizen.
 
Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

To keep it in this year though, it's a toss up between Gears of War 4, and the next Shovel Knight campaign.
 
The Last Guardian. I'm going in with zero expectations but it's the game i want to see, play and experience most because it seems so different and unique.
 
Mafia 3. One of my favorite franchises, and since they only come around once in a generation, I look forward to them very excitedly. This one looks like it is going to be a really solid entry, too.
 
Gears 4, somewhat unexpectedly.

I replayed Gears 3 with a friend, and that's still a bit of a bummer, but then we started Judgement, which neither of us had played, and the level design of that really reminded us of how great a Gears of War game can feel.

The control mapping shakeup I'm not a fan of at all (especially how you're expected to roadie run with A and swap weapons with Y - it's like they sporadically didn't get fundamental things about Gears), and the tower defensy Horde mode stuff I would rather they keep far away from the campaign, but other than that it really makes me confident that Gears can deliver in spades in terms of (at this point) old school and pleasantly to-the-point cover shooter thrills.

Setting it 25 years later lets them add some more nuance to the backdrop and story, and you can even tell from Judgement that the writing has inched north of the "bitch" this and constant, grating meathead quips that of the prior games.

So yeah.. Bizarrely enough that's probably the one. I mean I'll like other games more, because I always do like brand new games more than something I pretty much know what to expect from. But that's... per definition not something I can anticipate.
