Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Publisher: Konami
Developer: Kojima Productions
"Incredibly, unbelievably, what we have here is a nearly perfect finale to the Metal Gear franchise. I truly believe that The Phantom Pain is where Kojima always envisioned he would take the franchise. This is personalized, open-world infiltration at its finest. You have so many options at your disposal with which to complete your missions, it truly is mind-boggling. Whether you sneak in, secure your objective, and sneak out without alerting a single enemy combatant, or run in guns blazing with air support at your back, how you plan and execute your attack is key, and it’s amazingly rewarding to see a well-thought out assault come to fruition. On that same token, recovering from a mistake such as not accounting for an enemy or circumstance that the game throws at you can be its own form of exhilaration as you race to find a secure spot from which to reset. If this is truly the last game in the series with Kojima’s name on it, then there is no better way to exit the stage gracefully."

Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Ubisoft Quebec, Ubisoft Montreal, Ubisoft Montpellier
"Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is a safe entry in the franchise. This is the second next-gen-only game in the series, so technical hiccups are fewer and less severe. While the story takes a back seat for a lot of your gang warfare, what’s there is actually entertaining, though if you’ve not been following each game leading up to this point the modern storyline will be a little confusing. Still, with solid combat, a very fun grappling hook gun, a wonderful recreation of Victorian-era London, and a pure focus on the single-player campaign, Assassin’s Creed has returned to its roots, and hopefully this has set the stage for something epic as the series used to be known for."

Bloodborne
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: FromSoftware
"The PlayStation 4 finally has its exclusive killer RPG. Bloodborne is punishingly hard, but like the Souls series, not unfairly so. If you go into this game accepting of death and the lessons that it imparts on you, then you will have a much better time than if you were to approach the game thinking you were the next Kratos. With a light touch of thankfully, gratefully optional multiplayer options, Bloodborne will be played for years to come. If you see someone with a Platinum trophy for this game, you will know that you are in the presence of a badass gamer.Bloodborne cannot come any more highly recommended for RPG gamers looking for a true challenge."

Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below
Publisher: Square Enix
Developer: Omega Force
"Hot on the heels of Disgaea 5, Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below is the next must-have title for fans of the genre on Sony’s newest console. Unlike other crossover incarnations in theWarriors series, Heroes incorporates enough of the legendary RPG franchise’s traditional elements to create a giddy nostalgia trip. Even if you aren’t a longtime fan, though, you’ll have a chance to get caught up in a whirlwind of solid action-RPG goodness."

Batman: Arkham Knight
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
Developer: Rocksteady Studios
"The thing to remember is that this will be Rocksteady Studios’ last entry into the Batman Arkham universe, so if you have been playing the previous entries in the series, and enjoyed them, this is going to be a no-brainer, just go get it. Not only is this a testament to how far we have come as a medium in our ability to develop stories on existing IPs, it is one that shows that games are also able to deliver stories in a cinematic and logical way, without having to force a players hand to push the narrative in a straight line.
