This. This is how you make sure the final chapter of a franchise delivers. A truly epic masterpiece, Metal Gear Solid V is Hideo Kojima signing off the only way he knows how: in style.

A fantastic reimagination of a PlayStation 2 classic, Ratchet and Clank once again represents Insomniac at the height of its game.

Far Cry 3 is definitely one of the best shooters of the year, if not simply the best. Its environment is huge, the surprises and discoveries it offers plenty. The story is solid, the action superb and the RPG-elements well implemented. A must have for every shooter fan.

The ultimate version of an already fantastic game, the special edition of Devil May Cry 5 looks great, sounds great and - you guessed it - plays pretty damn great as well. Adding Vergil as a playable character is the icing on this delicious cake. A true must-buy.

Final Fantasy XVI is the new pinnacle in the long-running series, which does a top-notch job in almost all areas. The intriguing story is captivating from start to finish. The gameplay is delightful thanks to the smooth action, and exploring Valisthea is a pleasure. Then there are the fantastic boss fights, the wonderful soundtrack, the spectacle. Too much to mention. Square Enix has thought of everything and that makes Final Fantasy XVI a game you should buy.

What's that? Is that Activision cursing themselves because they've abandoned True Crime? Well, if they aren't, they should be! Sleeping Dogs is an absolutely fantastic game, which will definitely be fondly remembered as an example of the loads of fun a sandbox action game can deliver. Do not skip this one!

This new adventure of Senua is somewhat less bleak than the previous game, as she has her demons under control and knows how best to deal with them. That said, her mental state is still problematic and she runs into intense situations in this new adventure in Iceland. The game's structure is the same as the previous installment, so you know exactly what to expect. In that regard the game is an almost perfect execution on all levels: engaging story, beautiful graphics, a strong soundtrack, outstanding voice-acting, and a compelling presentation.

Persona 5 delivers on its lofty promises with an emotional story, deep and innovative gameplay elements, and a unique style. It's as good as the series has ever gotten - and perhaps even better.

Dreams gives you nearly unlimited tools to create your own game or just fool around with. The result is astonishingly deep and remarkably accessible, thanks to a list of detailed, comprehensive tutorials. On top of that, other people’s often bizarre creations provide you with a seemingly endless amount of content - and will keep on doing that for many years to come.

The first truly brilliant PSN game since Journey blew everyone's mind last year. A unique experience you won't forget any time soon.

The combat system, the audiovisual part, the boss fights, the controls, the performance, the enemies.... Everything there is to mention about Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is excellent. This is the best Prince of Persia game to date and a brilliant addition to the genre. Fan of Metroidvanias or the Persian Prince? You must play this game.

Capcom does it again. After a previously sublime remake of Resident Evil 2, they raise the bar even higher with the remake of Resident Evil 4. The combat is more varied than ever, there is plenty to explore, the level design is fantastic, the graphics are stunning, the audio is fantastic and we could go on and on. One of the best games of this year to date and a must play.

Great characters, hilarious dialogue and a world worth exploring, that's Hades. Chaotic combat with lots of different options to keep players engaged, that's also Hades. In other words, Hades is an absolute must play.

This is how you create DLC worth buying. Absolutely brilliant.

Until Dawn takes Heavy Rain's mechanics and refines them, adding a delicious horror sauce and going to town with the result. It is absolutely brilliant in every conceivable way.

Metro: Exodus is a post-apocalyptic masterpiece, more than worth your money and time. It's great on every level, from its beautiful graphics and expert audio design to its intriguing characters and absorbing world. Shame the story ends kind of abruptly though... But hey, you can't have everything. Must play.

Kojima’s latest creation is unique, perhaps even too unique. You’re essentially playing a courier, but an intriguing plot and phenomenally designed open world conspire to keep things interesting. Death Stranding may not be a perfect experience, but it comes pretty damn close.

Dark Souls in 2D? Yes, please!

Telltale ends the third season of their acclaimed Walking Dead series the only way they know how: with a big bang and a whole lot of blood.

The replay value is off the charts, as is Dishonored 2's layered tale and elaborate gameplay. The title improves upon its predecessor in just about every way imaginable.

A beautiful, quiet and highly emotional adventure, filled with stunning environments to explore and intriguing puzzles to solve.

The eighth main entry in Capcom's long-running series isn't perfect due to some graphical imperfections and a lack of weight in the guns you start out with. However, we dare anyone to genuinely care when the rest of the game is this great. Resident Evil celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary in style, with an always beautiful, often scary, regularly exhilarating and surprisingly emotional adventure. Worth every single penny.

Codemasters strikes again! Technically great and filled to the brim with content, this is quite simply one of the best rally games ever made.

A complete collection with great graphics, a neat soundtrack, and the fast and furious (pun intended) gameplay the franchise is known for. Now, about that new iteration...

Bungie vastly improves its online shooter in almost every possible way, offering players an enormous amount of varied content, hidden away in a huge universe that is as interesting as it is beautiful.

Codemasters delivers on almost every level, turning F1 2017 legitimately into one of the best F1 games ever made.

Sonic Mania is the Sonic title we've been waiting for. It's traditional in every sense of the word... and all the better for it. If not for the clunky autosave feature, the word 'perfect' might have come to mind.

A wonderful atmosphere and some gorgeous environments don't hide the sad fact that The Mooseman is an extremely short experience. That is the one major complaint we have because the gameplay, the puzzles and the story will envelop you entirely whilst you enjoy every minute of it. Short but sweet.
