MGSV is amazing in its own right. A lot of the traditional elements from a MGS game are missing, but they have been replaced with things I equally enjoy such as the open world. Controls feel great. Lots and lots of content to keep you busy for a while.

Xenoverse is easily the best DBZ game to come out since the Budokai games. Its has its flaws and the online has died down, but it is still worth the purchase.

Who would have thought there'd ever come a time when desperately searching the environment for what little resources you can find to survive was your idea of relaxing?

With the dying light comes a host of horrors that turn the hunter into the hunted. Hoards of infected become aggressive and increase in numbers, searching for you as you searched for weapons to kill them just hours before. But the infected aren't even the most frightening threat. There's something else out there that lurks in the darkness, a more sinister predator that stalks its prey. You are that prey.Set in a vast and dangerous open world, Dying Light drops you in the middle of a waking nightmare in a first-person survival horror experience that will have your heart pounding and adrenaline pumping the second night falls. During the day, you're free to roam the expansive urban environment to scavenge for supplies and craft the weapons you need to defend yourself against the victims of a vicious outbreak. A variety of melee weapons, including knives, bats, axes, sledgehammers and more, are at your disposal, as well as guns and other firepower.

This game is basically everything that Dead Island should have been. If you enjoyed Dead Island regardless of what everyone else thought about it then Dying Light should blow you away.
He's gone to dangerous lengths to reclaim justice for the fallen. He's delivered revenge where it was rightly deserved. Since the inception of the revolutionary Ninja Gaiden series, one masked warrior has stood head and shoulders above the rest. The quest to lift the deadly curse on his right arm calls to Ryu Hayabusa ~ and it forces him to look deeper than ever into the dark, complex soul beneath his mask. Wherein lies the boundary between the warrior and the man? Only you can decide as you wield the Dragon Sword and choose between mercy and revenge in the improved Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge.Experience Ninja Gaiden 3 in even more intense, high-speed and challenging ways ~ on the Wii U. Sharpen the Dragon Sword, fine-tune your skills and immerse yourself in the all-new, highly evolved story that continues the Ninja Gaiden saga with even more weapons and Ninpo, a new character progression system, a redesigned battle system and the return of dismemberment. You can still count on meeting your opponent face-to-face in extremely intensified, close-combat gameplay with six weapon types and three Ninpo types, exclusive to Wii U. Wield the sword and experience the feeling of slicing through your enemies' flesh and bone ~ and the consequences of your actions from Karma points earned during play ~ with faster and more fluid action by using the touch screen of the Wii U GamePad controller. Now on the Wii U, the female ninja, Ayane, will step into the fray with her own set of exclusive chapters, weapon types and Ninpo as she unleashes her brutality on her enemies. The world is full of complex dangers, but deep behind Ryu Hayabusa's disguise, you'll discover that the soul of a hero harbors even darker secrets.

This game is probably not for everyone. It is a very difficult game, but in the sense of skill. It can be harsh and unfair at times. I love the Ninja Gaiden games, but so far this is by far the weakest entry in my opinion.

If you are a fan of the Souls series then Bloodborne is a must have. The game is very unforgiving until you learn how the mechanics work and how to properly execute combat, but once you do no other game feels as rewarding after killing a boss.
You are Talion, Ranger of the Black Gate. For what seems like eons, you have guarded the entrance to Mordor, keeping watch over Sauron's undisturbed dwelling place with relative uneventfulness. But in the blink of an eye, everything you hold dear is snatched from your grasp. Your family, your friends ~ even your very life is taken from you in one fell swoop that leaves your soul desolate and filled with an eternal rage. Resurrected by an unforgiving spirit, you have one purpose to your life, one thing that keeps your heart pumping and your mind from giving in to the relentless grief ~ vengeance. Prepare yourself to embark on a dogged vendetta that calls upon you to fight your way through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit who compels you. This epic tale of revenge and redemption transforms you into the most feared force in the land ~ the Shadow of Mordor.Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron's return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance.

As Talion's personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.

This game was an excellent game for what it is. If you like the lore of LOTR and the gameplay of games like Assassins Creed then you will probably really enjoy Shadow of Mordor.
