10 Hotly-Anticipated PC Exclusive Games Coming In 2016

1. Routine

A survival-horror first announced back in 2012, Routine has had a long and arduous development history over the last couple of years, but it's currently scheduled for release in 2016. The game represents the first project of the newly formed LunarSoftware, and seems as though it's taking more than a few cues from Irrational Games' System Shock series. On the subject of the game's development, the studio had this to say:

€œA few months ago we talked about going through the game replacing all of the placeholder art, we're happy to say that now we are doing the big second pass on all environments and core gameplay features. [€] It has been a very slow process for us but we are working as much as we can to get Routine to a polished state that we are all happy with€.

With its sci-fi setting, dark atmosphere and claustrophobic environments, Routine looks set to steal the show in 2016. Like Asylum, the game grants you free reign to explore to your heart's content; the story is non-linear and the game is said to feature multiple endings dependent on your decisions. Best of all, gameplay revolves around a perma-death system which will have you constantly on edge; if you die, you're done forever; there's no lives system and no take backs. With this and Asylum set for release in 2016, it should be a good year for horror games on PC. I don't know about you, but I can't wait. What's your most hotly anticipated PC game for 2016?
