Huge, dark, haunting, beautiful, challenging, insanely fun – I could keep throwing adjectives at Dark Souls III but I probably still wouldn't do it justice.
Blizzard don't make bad games, and Overwatch is one of their finest titles. There's no doubt in my mind that this is the absolute state-of-the-art when it comes to multiplayer first-person shooters right now, and it's likely it will be for years to come.
The me from 1992 would have been blown away by Civilization VI. The amazing graphics and sound, and how cool the cities and farms and units all looked would have been jaw-dropping.
Battlefield 1 is an incredible experience, both in the remarkably varied and excellent multiplayer modes, and the meticulously well-crafted and fantastically written War Stories for you to experience.
We went deep into the despair and desolation of Playdead's Inside and found it to be one of the finest examples of emergent narrative there are.
Odyssey feels fresh and its smart level design, beautiful graphics, eclectic level design and wonderful soundtrack left me craving more and feeling more excited than ever about the future of Nintendo.
Quantum Break is one of the best produced videogames of late, comfortably sitting among Remedy's catalogue of hit titles.
For decades now, there's been discussion of games as art, and what qualifies or what doesn't, but in my view, art simply has to provoke discussion, emotion or analysis. If one game qualifies for that, it would be The Last Guardian.
Massive truly have learned from their time on the sidelines, making sure to avoid many mistakes made by Bungie during the 1.5 years of Destiny and building what is a great experience. With the promise of much content to come, and the great experience that it already provides, Tom Clancy's The Division is easy to recommend to people looking for their next co-op shooter.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End really does feel like the culmination of Naughty Dog's experiences, from Crash to Uncharted to certain influences from The Last of Us.
There aren't many games that I have enjoyed as much as Ori and the Blind Forest in the past, and the changes made in Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition work to enhance the experience and remove some of the failings of the original release.
Total War: Warhammer is an excellent representation of the Warhammer Fantasy setting, and the multi-tiered layers of strategy make it a compelling game to play.
In my eyes, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a must-buy title for anyone and everyone
This is what I want. It may not be what you want, but No Man’s Sky is what I want.
Toussant is praised and renowned for its wealth and wine, and this final The Witcher outing is like indulging in a rare oak aged red.
Bolstered by a surprisingly effective story mode that incorporates slight RPG elements, the quality of which was surely boosted by Bioware stepping in to lend EA a hand throughout development, FIFA 17 also benefits from a rock solid gameplay foundation and the transition to the Frostibite engine, making this an easy recommend to fans of the series and football aficionados in general.
Forza Horizon 3 is an incredible game, and in my mind cements Forza Horizon as the current premier racing series.
Pokemon Moon is a great game for newcomers, returning Pokemaniacs and avid fans, and in fact it’s the greatest Pokemon game since the year 2000.
Rise of the Tomb Raider remains a sumptuous gameplay cake, and 20 Year Celebration just adds some nice icy frosting for those PS4 gamers who were patient enough to wait.
To see, feel, and experience Nier: Automata in your hands nearly seven years after its predecessor…is like a blip from another timeline, crossed over to our own in a moment of bewildering brilliance.
