The fun of December is long gone, together with the depressing weight of January. In a couple of days, we enter the month of love, or if you are more interested in games, the month of some great game releases. February is a mixed bag of games, all consoles are getting some love, while Persona fans (those who are willing to import the title) are getting a personalized love letter. We also have our first-ever mobile game make the list, which is great considering the boatload of titles being released every single month.

Darksiders Genesis
(PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch)
Releasing: February 14



Playing the part of the prequel story, Darksiders Genesis takes us through the adventures of Strife and War, as they set out to investigate the evil plans afoot. Strife, the gun-wielding Horseman, makes his console debut in Genesis, and what a treat he is to behold. Agile, witty, and ridiculously accurate, the pale rider rarely misses his target. War, the brooding rider or Ruin, stomps onto the battlefield with Chaoseater in hand. Experiencing the banter between Strife and War is delight few Darksiders games have managed to implement.

Dreams
(PlayStation 4)
Releasing: February 14



The aptly named Dreams bursts onto PlayStation 4 in February. It only takes a quick Google search to witness the astounding potential this title has. "If you can think it, you can dream it", should have been the tagline. Whatever you make in Dreams can be saved and shared with others. The "Art's Dream" campaign will allow users to generate their own unique content, share it with other users, and rate them accordingly. We've already seen Dead Space, Silent Hill, and a host of other game levels remade in Dreams, and the results have been nothing short of spectacular.

Street Fighter V: Champion Edition

What a busy Valentine's Day this turns out to be, eh? Street Fighter V: Champion Edition brings with it a load of balancing changes, new second V-Skills for each character, and a few new features. If you own any version of Street Fighter V, the Champion Edition will come as an update. If you don't, you can purchase this edition at a discounted retail price, which will contain everything, including updates to the previous versions of the game.

This one is on the list purely for the sake of the die-hard Persona fans. Persona 5: Scramble will release in Japan on February 20th and takes queues from the Dynasty Warriors series.

Dragon Quest of the Stars
(iOS, Android)
Releasing: February 25



It's not often that a mobile game that makes the prestigious list of "Games Not To Miss," but seeing as it is a Dragon Quest game, the choice was made easily. Adventures can be undertaken with a party of 4 players, traveling across the globe with friends is sure to boost morale. a "Skill Gauge Battle" system, which has been optimized for mobile gaming, will enable players to combo powerful spells to devastate their foes. Be warned, as monsters can concoct their own combos against players. Character customization is present in Dragon Quest of the Stars. Customize your character's gender, features, and looks; continue playing to unlock the "Change Vocation" feature, allowing players to select their ideal vocation.

One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows
(PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC)
Releasing: February 28



Spike Chunsoft's upcoming game sets out to turn a few heads with their One-Punch Man fighting game. The 3D arena fighter pits teams of three each against one another. Teams will naturally consist of characters from the One-Punch Man universe. The kicker of the game comes in the form of a "Hero Arrival" system. If a team selects Saitama, the invincible hero will always be late to the fight, essentially tasking the team to survive long enough with only two characters. A "Dream Version" of Saitama is also available to select, though this version has his power drastically reduced, so in other words, to fight amongst the "normal" heroes of his world.

Honorable mentions:

Yakuza 5 (PS) - February 11
Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle (PS4, XBO) - February 18
