When Titanfall 2 was announced this year, I was curious – would the sequel simply be what the first game should have been? The short answer – yes. But what we got with Titanfall 2 was a big surprise – it's clear now that the potential of this franchise was even greater than we'd hoped. 

The long-awaited Final Fantasy XV has finally dropped, and it's time to see whether Square-Enix's bold, epic, and expensive gambit paid off. The seeds of FFXV began life way back in 2006 as Final Fantasy XIII Versus, an intriguing-looking title that looked to emphasize the more action-based aspects of Final Fantasy's gameplay. We heard little about the game for years.

Hello Games' No Man's Sky is one of the most talked-about titles this year, and not always for the right reasons. If the extreme range of Metacritic user scores is any indication, some love it and some hate it, but one thing is definitely true: this was a clear case of an indie developer biting off more than they could chew.

Twin-stick shooters have become an acquired taste: a genre only sought after by those wanting to relive the glory days of games where you destroyed everything in sight, often in an isometric view and with your pals (or alone, if you so chose). Livelock is one of those games. Despite its linear character progression and bland storyline, I had a blast destroying all the corrupt machines that have taken over this post-apocalyptic world.

From the first impressions of Abzû, announced at E3 2014, it was clear this wasn't going to be any sort of typical gaming experience. It appeared to be a blend of thatgamecompany's award-winning masterpiece Journey (PS3) and Nintendo's Endless Ocean (Wii), with solid diving controls and an emphasis on beautiful underwater environments and realistic sea creatures.

Naughty Dog have continuously raised the bar in the action adventure genre, and with Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, they've once again thrown down the gauntlet. Saying this is an amazing game isn’t enough to describe what the developers have done. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is probably one of the best products to come out of this industry.

Who would have thought that the Xeno series, which began life as the beloved Xenogears on the PSX, would take so many forms throughout the years? Director Tetsuya Takahashi went on to create the developer Monolith Soft and the operatic Xenosaga trilogy for PS2, which he deemed a 'spiritual prequel' to Xenogears, before moving on to the highly acclaimed Wii JRPG, Xenoblade Chronicles.
