Dishonored. I absolutely love this game (the first one) and still find myself thinking about it and going back to play it from time to time. The atmosphere and the music was unparalleled. The powers are so much fun, the lore is intriguing and the locales great to explore. Dishonored 2 also had some moments of brilliance (Clockwork Mansion and A Crack in the Slab *chef’s kiss*) but for whatever reason didn’t impact me the way that the first did.

Also, someone mentioned The Witcher could be classed as gen 7 gaming wise and as The Witcher 3 is my favourite game of all time, I have to mention this also. I haven’t played 1 or 2, but I’m looking forward to the remake.

TW1 is ok, though control scheme is really weird, even by PC standards. Remake will go the way of regular action RPG, so it will be more accessible.

It's not a claim it's fact. SE owns Xenogears. NAMCO owns Xenosaga. Nintendo owns Xenoblade. They're different IPs. They are as much the same IP as System Shock and Bioshock.  Spiritual successor's sure but not the same IP. Xeno just means other. Tak has said he just uses it as his branding. 

This.

Xenoblade didn't even start off being called that, during development it was called "Monado: The Beginning of the World". It was Nintendo's idea to change the name to Xenoblade as a tribute to Tetsuya Takahashi.

Even after that, the name Xenoblade was initially only going to be used in Japan, with the American release still planned as "Monado" as late as 2010.

If you love Witcher 3, I would recommend trying out 2.

It's not quite as great as 3, and it is a much more linear affair, but it has many of the same qualities that make its successor so great, and I'd still class it as an excellent game.

Personally, I find TW2 to be much better game than TW3 - more focused, every location more handcrafted, due to smaller scope, and more engaging as Geralt's story.

TW3 losses focus a lot, trading it for open world exploration, which would be great if it was made to be played as an action-RPG where you play as some Witcher you created, and not Geralt specifically. Hopefully TW4 will do exactly that.
