Ori and the Blind Forest is a must have for Xbox One users. Ori manages to cptivate players with gorgeous environment design and a heart wrenching story.
A combat and team focused Musuo game that is tragically let down by buggy AI, poor optimisation, and dodgy framerates.
Resi Rev 2 is a much needed return to what makes the series so special. An intriguing story and Barry Burton are worth the asking price alone.
From Software turn expectations of a "soulslike" on their head with this fast paced and visceral approach to combat and Lovecraftian horror. Bloodborne isn't just a game you can justify buying, it's the type of game you justifies buying the console too.
One of the most ambitious and diverse fighters to deliver on everything it promises. Mortal Kombat X takes series staples, combines them with a stellar story, and gives you enough variations on fighters to give infinite depth. People will talk fondly of MK X for decades to come.
From Software try to right their wrongs in this next gen port of Dark Souls 2 but fail to meaningfully address the issues that many players had with Dark Souls 2.
A charming and easily grasped twin-stick shooter that acts as an endearing homage to the likes of Binding of Isaac.
A hauntingly complex story full of creepy characters means that The Charnel House Trilogy is an indie title you need to keep your eye out for on PC.
Sym straddles the subject of anxiety in a subtle and almost nuanced way, but it offers little in the way of replay value.
A frustrating, yet somehow addictive puzzler that pushes you to think your way through every step in game.
Batman: Arkham Knight fails to live up to the expectations of its predecessors and focuses on the Batmobile far too much. With the addition of even more moves in combat, it loses touch with what made Arkham Asylum feel so punctual.
Even the best soundtrack can't save the frustratingly fidgety Spectra from its disappointing lack of leaderboards and overly sensitive controls.
After some frustrating delays, Dontnod more than deliver on the promise displayed in Life is Strange Episode 1.
DiscStorm is the spiritual successor to Windjammers in many ways, but pathetic AI and gameplay that feels unrewarding hurts the overall experience.
One of the scariest and most immersive experiences on the Playstation 4 right now. Even with a few lingering plot threads, you'll be haunted by your decision in Until Dawn and talking about them with friends for months to come.
Mad Max is another generic open world game tossed on the ever-growing pile of open world games. Even with its unique setting and stunning visuals, Mad Max is very much a game of fetch quests and tall towers.
An engrossing Noir tale that uses colour effectively to drive home its enveloping crime drama.
Quest of Dungeons is an indie darling that does justice by the roguelike genre and makes it more accessible for Xbox One players. It's unbelievably charming cast will have you venturing and dying in the dungeons time and time again.
The return of Gears of War is a bittersweet one. The updated graphics detract from the original artstyle, but the improved netcode and online features drag Marcus and the gang kicking and screaming in to the next generation. Putting aside the issues with frame rate, it is a smut have for any lancer enthusiast.
Some slippery controls aren't enough to hold back this gorgeous and interesting ball of fur (we think it's a ball of fur).
