The first-person shooter takes players back in time to World War One and by doing so completely rejuvenates the once stagnating franchise. Battlefield 1's historical setting helps it to stand apart from the rest of the modern military shooters on the market, with all-new weapons, vehicles, and level designs that feel fresh and capture the chaos and brutality of war.
The game offers a poignant and entertaining single-player campaign that sets a new standard for first-person shooters. Broken into six sections, each following a different character and front line location, the campaign never feels dull or repetitive. The single-player campaign even feeds neatly into Battlefield 1's multiplayer mode which, while familiar, also benefits from the much-needed breath of life that the change in setting gives.

We expect the upcoming Battlefield will earn its place on this list too, when it releases in November. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is something of a reset for the bestselling FPS franchise — removing the frills of zombies, jetpacks, double-jumps and futuristic gadgetry for a grounded take on what military engagement actually looks like in the 21st century.
The name is no coincidence, either; 's Modern Warfare was a landmark entry in the Call of Duty series, and Activision is looking to recreate what made the game of the same name so successful. While Modern Warfare has some glaring issues with regards to its campaign, it's still the best installation the series has seen yet - with tight shooting and more multiplayer modes than you can shake a stick at.

Get up and try again, as Dead Cells will only reward you in the end. Building on the foundations set by old-school RPG classics like Baldur's Gate, Divinity: Original Sin 2 has you on a literal quest for godhood, in a world where those with magical powers are marginalized.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has more ideas in its first ten minutes than some games have in their entire duration: want to be an undead adventurer who can talk to skulls? Go for it. An animal-whisperer like Dr Doolittle? Throw four-player online co-op into the mix, where anyone can do whatever they want, whenever they want, and you've got a recipe for chaotic perfection. It's one of the few games where, if you can dream it up, you can probably do it in the game.
A must-play Xbox One game. Ready to raze some hell? Doom is back and it's the best it's ever been. Not only does Doom Eternal boast all the blood-pumping, gore-packed fun we expect from a Doom game, it also adds a bunch of new RPG-like elements we didn't even know we needed.

While the original Forza titles were about pristine driving skills around perfectly kept tracks, the Horizon series has a penchant for trading paint and isn't afraid to have you get down and dirty with off-road races from time to time.
Forza Horizon 4, the latest game in the series, carries that tradition forward by taking us to the rolling hills of the English countryside and spoiling us with some of the most exotic cars on the planet. Like any good open-world game, it rewards exploration and offers both a structured campaign mode and plenty of distractions around the campaign.
And the new setting feels like something of a love letter from Playground Games to rural Britain; charming, idyllic and made for cross-country road trips.
It's really good fun, well-worth buying especially ahead of the release of Forza Horizon 5 and easily one of the best Xbox One games. We'd been waiting a while to see a new Gears title, and Gears 5 certainly didn't disappoint. Players step into the shoes of Kait Diaz for the first time who, following the events of Gears of War 4, is trying to come to terms with the death of her mother, unravel the twisted roots of her family tree and deal with her own personal baggage. While the threequel was mostly what you'd expect from a Hitman game, the third time was the charm as developer IO Interactive tightened up the sandbox formula and added more grandiose story elements to the mix.
With a proven recipe for success, some of the very best levels in Hitman history, and opportunities that ranged from grim justice to deadly dark humor, Hitman 3 closed out the World of Assassination trilogy on a high note. Metascore: 87 Read our Hitman 3 review.

Metascore: 87 Read our Psychonauts 2 review. Formula 1 games from developer Codemasters have been--much like the sport itself--precise, focused, and technically polished showcases of the racing genre at its very fastest.

Not just the best-looking F1 game to date, this year's installment also added customization features and a fun campaign mode that made the experience feel more personal than ever before.
Metascore: On Microsoft's newer console, the game is an even bigger visual treat with native 4K or a buttery-smooth frames-per-second if you don't mind sticking to p. Either way you slice it though, the current-gen upgrade captures all of the skateboarding magic in a bottle once again, preserving two of the greatest games of all time for a new generation of fans who want to pretend to be Superman. Easily one of the best co-op games of the year, It Takes Two is a phenomenal combination of tag team gameplay, outstanding levels, and heartbreaking storytelling in Developer Hazelight's latest effort is a mesmerizing example of why it's one of the best in the business when it comes to co-op games with a heavy emphasis on a gripping narrative, and It Takes Two doesn't disappoint.
It's an enjoyable ride through incredibly imaginative worlds, It Takes Two will leave its mark on you by the time the end credits roll, but it'll also remind you that teamwork does make the dream work. Metascore: 89 Read our It Takes Two review.
