The final expansion in the White March storyline, an add-on for action RPG "Pillars of Eternity," a huge Kickstarter success inspired by turn-of-the-century games "Baldur's Gate" and "Icewind Dale," retaining some of their original developers in the process.

3. Rocket League

For: Xbox One

Soccer meets RC cars meets slow-mo replays and instant bragging situations in this intense, tightly honed team sport of skill and serendipity.

4. Project Setsuna

For: PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita
