2. Middle-earth: Shadow of War

If your friend is not a conservative Tolkienist, then the game will surely suit his taste.

Shadow of War gives the player many tools with which he creates his own story, and the world will change depending on his actions.

3. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

An incredibly colorful and atmospheric game from Nintendo. This time, the developers have moved away from the usual concept and created a game in a picturesque open world. She has received numerous awards, including Game of the Year. Breath of the Wild's release this year is a great time to get to know the series.

4. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

The Lost Legacy was originally a story-driven DLC for Uncharted 4, but has since grown into a full-fledged game. The spin-off plot brings together two strong female characters, Chloe and Nadine, who will travel to India in search of treasures. Spectacular The Lost Legacy is in no way inferior to Uncharted 4, although it borrows ideas from the original.

5. Horizon Zero Dawn

In the game you will find a huge wild world inhabited by robotic animals. Incredibly beautiful third-person action game with a unique setting, mesmerizing at first sight. After playing Horizon Zero Dawn at least once, you will come back again and again until you unveil all the secrets hidden in the game.

6. Injustice 2

Continuation of the confrontation between the heroes of DC comics. An excellent fighting game, especially good when you get together with friends to finally find out who is cooler: Batman or Superman.

7. Life is Strange: Before the Storm

Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One.

The case when the prequel is not worse, if not better than the original. The plot focuses on Chloe, the friend of the protagonist from the original game. Before the Storm managed to retain the atmosphere of the original, but at the same time bring fresh ideas. Chloe turned out to be a fun, but at the same time, dramatic character.

8. Resident Evil 7 Biohazard

Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One.

The legendary series has reached a dead end, but, having changed the concept, once again ascended the pedestal of the best horror games.

Those lucky enough to find the game not scary enough can try to play with virtual reality glasses.

9. Assassin's Creed: Origins

Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One.

The new part of the series returns the player to the origins of the confrontation between the assassins and the Templars. Fans of the series have long been asking for the setting of Ancient Egypt. Finally, the pleas were heard. Ubisoft has recreated cities and landmarks with amazing precision. Of course, there was a place for fantasy in the game, but it is for the combination of fiction and historical accuracy that we love this series.

10. Nier: Automata

Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4.

A dynamic third-person action game with a unique world, powerful storyline and varied gameplay. The story is built around an invasion of aliens who, with the help of a virus, created a mechanical life form. Humanity moved to the moon, but the main character stood at the head of the resistance. In words, everything looks simple, but in reality the plot is much more complex and deeper.

11. Prey

Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One.

Immersive sim about alien invasion with amazing soundtrack and soundtrack. As with other games of this genre, there is a lot of reading and research to be done. But do not relax, because aliens can take the form of various things and you will never know what is in front of you: an ordinary chair or a hidden facial expression.

12. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4.

An indie game that will give odds to many AAA projects. A story of insanity, despair and inner struggle. The eerie imagery that accompanies the heroine throughout the game draws attention to some things that I never thought about.

13. Gran Turismo Sport

Platform: PlayStation 4.

The most beautiful racing simulator at the moment. The new concept of the game offers to participate in online competitions with real prizes. Time will tell whether the developers will be able to bring all their ideas to life, but for now Gran Turismo Sport is the perfect gift for motorsport fans.
