  • Dragon Age Inquisition
  • Destiny 2
  • Gone Home
  • Gears 5
  • Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Those are off the top of my head, I may need to edit after giving it some thought.

Not to be a downer, but this gen was much worse than last gen for me. Most of my favorite series from last gen either didn’t continue into this gen, or did but were disappointing. If you asked me to make a list of my all time favorite games that appeared on the 360, I could probably rattle off 20+ without even thinking about it. This gen, I would struggle to come up with a handful.

  1. Star Wars Battlefront - As a SW fan I loved this, especially the dlc which felt like I was in the SW universe.
  2. Shadow of Mordor - Perfectly captured the Middle Earth feeling, a bit short but I replayed it several times!
  3. Assassin’s Creed Unity - Amazing recreation of Paris and back in 2014 it felt like one of the first true next gen games
  4. PvZ Garden Warfare - Tried the EA access trial and became obsessed with it, some of the most fun I had this generation
  5. Titanfall - Did not expect to like this at all but got completed hooked, amazing FPS.

As you can tell, the early gen was great for me but the past few years not so much.

Honorable mentions to Forza Horizon 4 and AC Odyssey!

  1. Destiny (lumping 1 and 2 together). I’ve played it the most. It has issues but even then it’s been huge fun and memories to last a lifetime.

  2. Overwartch. Not played for a year but this was probably the technically best new game this gen. outstanding fun.

  3. Rise of the Tomb Raider - loved it from start to finish.

  4. Battlefront - Yeah those Star Wars feels…

  5. Sunset Overdrive - Overlooked but brilliant.

I will give honourable mentions to Titanfall, Halo 5 and PUBG.

  • Witcher 3: My game of the generation

  • Nier Automata: As someone who adore Nier Gestalt this was the best JRPG I’ve played since Tales of Vesperia

  • What Remains of Edith Finch: I will never forget the bath scene. Amazing game.

  • Dark Souls 3: Those bossfighs are so good. Just pick the dual blade at the beginning and you are set to go.

  • Yakuza 0: Amazing mafia drama with the japanese craziness.

Seeing Alien Isolation a lot… I adore the aesthetics but even with my love for Alien I couldn’t play AI I was scared and stopped:(
