Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
(Change YoY: -2)

Over the last decade or so the Uncharted series has become one of my favourite video game franchises of all time. I jumped into the series sometime before the release of the second game when I bought the first game cheap mostly out of curiosity and desire to get something to play on my PS3 at the time. I liked the first game, but I was left with the feeling that the game just lacked a little bit of polish to push it to the next level. The second game then pretty much fixed all of the first ones issues, and is still in my eyes one of the best games on the console. The third was yet another excellent game that more or less matched the second in spectacle, but did feel a little like just a retread of the previous game.

A Thief's End needed to bring something fresh into the series, either in terms of gameplay or narrative or something, and it did by focusing on an aging Nathan Drake whose best adventuring days are behind him as he's settled down to live with Elena Fischer. This gives it enough of a different perspective, from the altered character dynamics that come from them being years older, as well as with the introduction of some great new characters as well. In my opinion this was a great way to end Nathan Drake's story, and although I fully expect the series itself to continue for many years to come, the focus should probably shift away from him and into new main characters, like they did with the excellent The Lost Legacy. 

Is it Pokemon X/Y?

I love this game. The battles, the characters, the sad story, the music, the silly stuff in between - it all works so well. Combined with stellar level design this games becomes a great experience. It's old by now and the graphic dated, but it works as well as ever. Not that I wouldn't like a HD-remaster - why shouldn't I - but even without it the game outshines a lot of newer games.
