1. Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival (PS4, Vita)
Has the potential to dethrone FIFA and Pro or at least make them change their gameplay! Hopefully a PC release will help later on to keep the fanbase active and host tournaments.
2. X-COM 2 (PC)
Looks like it will be an improvement over X-COM 1, also due to PC release, taking advantage of the more complex computer interface
3. Night in the Woods (PS4, PC, Mac, Linux)
Looks promising and surreal. An indie adventure game I backed and look forward into playing
4. Rain World (PC, Mac)
Another indie game that looks original with very good animation and unique AI
5. Hyper Light Drifter (Xbox One, PC, Mac)
An action RPG that looks very unique, using pixel art to its fullest
6. Ghost of a Tale ( PC, Xbox One)
A game I backed with fervour. Graphics and lore reminded me of a dark fairy tales and graphic novels with animals.
7. Hearth Forth Alicia ( PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, PS Vita, Nintendo Wii U)
This exploration platform action rpg game takes place in fantasy setting. Just like the previous games , I backed it and look forward into playing it. Pixel art looks fantastic.
8. La Mulana 2 (PC)
Looks grander in scope than the original. A huge exploration platformer the likes of which you do not see very often
9. Monster Boy (PC, Xbox One, PS4)
Spiritual successor to my favorite action rpg platformer, Wonder Boy in Monster Land.
10. Seasons after Fall (Windows, Mac, Linux, Xbox One, PS4)
A gorgeous looking platformer with a vixen from the French video game school
Honorable mentions:
Ghost Song (PC, Mac, Linux)
A refreshing sci-fi exploration adventure action platformer that takes elements from the classic games such as Metroid.
Mighty Number 9 (Xbox One, 360, PS4, PS3, Wii U, 3DS, Vita, PC, Mac, Linux)
Despite the setbacks, I liked Mega Man and as a backer I want to play this game
Shantae: Half Genie Hero (PC, PSN, Vita, Wii U, XBLA)
Backed this game too. Shantae needs a PC reboot with better graphics and gameplay. It is also the female equivalent to Monster Boy, being inspired from Monster World IV.
Day of the Tentacle: Special Edition (PC, PS4, Vita, Mac)
My favorite adventure game. Look also forward to play the Full Throttle Remaster
Under Night In-Birth (PC)
If it is half as good as Melty Blood, I'll give the upcoming PC version a try. Even without netplay, though CCCaster for it is a possibility.
