cautiously optimistic about this one than I was a few months ago, thanks to some not very good trailers and some very weird announcements. Hopefully the devs got the notes from early on, notably that the intro was terrible and should be burned in fire. The world of Numenera is a fascinating place that feels like an ideal replacement to Sigil and its Planes, and I loved my initial experiments with its combat system - the focus not being on bashing hundreds of enemies, but tight, intricately written encounters that can be solved in a zillion ways, from pointing out that your enemy is staggeringly out-classed, to fiddling with the scenery and turning things like light bridges and defence systems to your advantage. but having admittedly only played a bit of the Early Access version (not wanting to spoil too much), I have really high hopes. It takes balls with their own gravity wells to compare your new game to one of the smartest and most beloved of all time. Here are some of my picks for the games I'm most excited to get my hands on in 2017. Next year though? Whoooo-boy, do we have a lot of awesome stuff on the way. Awards are coming later this month! But in terms of big, BIG, BIG releases, it's been kinda quiet. That's not to say we've had nothing, not least Early Access versions of many of these games. As far as RPGs go, it's also been fairly quiet, thanks to lots of stuff deciding to stay in the oven for a few more months. (FX: 'Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.') It's not been the greatest of years, from just about every celebrity you might have loved deciding to peg it, to America electing the Curious Orange.
