My favourite game of 2016 thus far is (ask me in May). We are almost a quarter of the way through the year, and I have yet to play a game released in 2016. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to change any time soon. I have Dark Souls 3 preordered, but I probably won't have a chance to play it until early May, by which time our move to Japan should be complete and I'll have a brand new PS4 to replace my soon-to-be-sold launch model.

However, less than half of it is coming with me to Japan; the remainder has been stored away, awaiting a reunion that may be a few years off. Here are some of the cuts and keepers.
