Valheim is a game pitched on its systems and mechanics more than its graphics and effects (not that they are bad). A game that ships with a dedicated server option on day 1. A game that doesn't coddle the player, it is 'sandbox' with a purpose, and has a large seeded world to explore alone or with friends. Most importantly, it has a price that is fair.

Yeah, not bad.

I hope you like doing business because this is the premier business game. You like briefcases? We got you. You like cars? Drive one. Hellicopters? Fly one. Guns? Better bring two, because business is going down. Make money, take money. Bank all day.

Please never download this unless you're looking for the most poorly constructed and conceived video game that released in 2016. Maybe you're a youtube star and want to record a let's play of bad games? This is your money maker right here.

Everyone else, avoid this.

Highly responsive 2v2 and 3v3 arena brawler with skillshots and a non-game breaking cosmetic unlock system.

Game is a lot of fun, accessible, but has a high skill ceiling if you wish to master a champion.

You can edit, publish, and watch replays of your battles all from within the client.

Whether you call it Rocket League, Soccar, Carball, Rocketcars, Parkcaour (ugh) or Vroom Vroom Bosh Goal - you will surely agree that this game is one of the most fun endeavours (presently) in 2015 outside of painting your naked body with nutella and writhing on a canvas made of marshmallows. Also, slightly less sticky with fewer calories.

The game itself consists of a team of 1,2,3 or 4 sentient (or remote controlled) cars vs another team that does battle on a custom built football pitch. The goal (ha) of the game is to use your car to push the ball into your opponent's net. Sounds simple, will not be. Is hilarious. Shall enjoy. Not sure about. My speech pattern. Here.

This game should be taught in schools and provided freely on the NHS as a form of therapy for people with joyless lives.

Edit: I accidentally a word.
Edit2: Update - this is still a Game of the Year contender despite not being release this year and definitely worth picking up in any sale.

You should play this game before someone spoils it for you. It is good.

In this game you play one half of a good cop / bad cop double-act, getting into capers and dabbling in politics in order to further your own agenda. You ruin parties for orcs, you interrogate them brutally and when they do not co-operate you take what you want forcibly from them. You are bad cop in these moments.

Sometimes other double-acts get into trouble and you have a chance to redeem yourself by avenging them. You will fail and feel bad about yourself. Good cop. You also pick flowers, collect rusty weapons and broken baskets while doing parkour and sometimes not grabbing onto the exact ledge you wanted to. You're kind of clumsy in these moments. I'm not sure if that is bad or good cop.

This game is like Batman (who is the epitome of good cop / bad cop) only Batman does all of this without a ghostly sidekick. Unless you think Alfred is basically a ghost... I mean, he IS kind of old. Anyway, get this game it is wonderfully polished and tactile, fluid combat combined with gorgeous graphics makes this a strong contender for GOTY.

Spend hours running cross-country to meet with your buddies. Obtain weapons, ammo, tools, clothes, medical supplies, food and drink. Prepare yourself, find a suitable location. Die because someone sprayed disinfectant on your apple. Repeat entire process, this time unable to find a backpack or any weaponry. Die due to blood loss as you strip naked to make bandages from your clothes.

Do not buy this game if you just want to 'shoot things go boom'. Buy this if you want to participate in a movie-like curated experience rich with detail and some of the most beautiful graphics of our time. When you complete this game which should take you around 15 hours, make sure you watch through the credits for the extra scenes. If you do not own this game, you really should. At its current price you are paying around £2 per hour of enjoyment. IE You'd pay more per hour to go watch a film. Buy this.
