An interactive slasher flick, Until Dawn had many chances to be awful. I’ve already said that I love zombies, but that extends to other areas of horror too. I know it’s not perfect, but this my list, and I does what I like, and I like Mortal Kombat X.Īnother game that wasn’t meant to be any good. It goes above these other games purely because of how much I enjoyed having it this year. It also looks amazing too, and was good fun to play with mates. It’s far easier to be good at this game, which I like because stuff like Street Fighter, I just can’t get. Mortal Kombat X takes a few pieces from Injustice and adds it on top. I was rubbish at Mortal Kombat 9, but Injustice is one of my games of forever. I really like Netherrealm’s fighting games. While I may not sound too positive about Knight, it’s more of one of the greatest games of last generation, so it is bloody good. Rocksteady manage to tell one of the best Batman stories in years, and really show off their love for the character. They simply can’t have the same attention to detail now, and it’s a shame. I know they make it part of the plot, but Gotham really does feel shallow. It’s Arkham City 2, but drifts further and further away from what made Asylum so good. It’s still pretty good though.īuilding on top of it’s Arkham City foundations, you now have an even bigger map, and the chance to drive the Batmobile. There just wasn’t much more game to see than the tightly designed 5v5 action, and we should have known that, and not been upset about it. We were all worried about it, after positive previews from the reveal that then kinda went a little quieter. It just isn’t the same game as when you’re sat in a party with a mate, barking instructions to each other. This is just about the only shooter I can think of that I refuse to play alone. There’s a new DLC coming out for it, so they should be pretty cool, and apparently they’re rereleasing it with a few enhancements. Trying to run back to the tower at night time is one of the tensest experiences I’ve had outside of a Souls boss fight. The freerunning parkour stuff works really well too, and it was fun to just climb things and jump around. Zombies have been one of my things for years, and smashing ‘em about in first person is great.

I’m a Dead Island apologist, and this is Dead Island with more good stuff. It gets on this list for being Star Wars. With a Season Pass worth of stuff to come out over this next year, I might go back at some point, but for now, nah… The lack of planets and any reason to play offline (they forgot to make a Fighter Squadron bot mode!) turned me off after only really a weekend. It was only when I sat down with the full game that I was disappointed. I did play the beta, and I had no problems with it.

I loved Battlefront 2, and I was so excited in the run up to this new one, and with my hype for the film as well….
