Top 3 Games in This Year

It’s the Christmas season, and it's a time to look back and rate everything we’ve played this past year. We’ve ranked our favourite game endings of the last 12 months. Let's see the top 3 game we played.

3. FIFA 17: The Journey

Setting aside how utterly far fetched the idea of Man Utd winning any trophies is right now, EA manages to cram a surprising amount of pathos into the finale of its new single player narrative mode within FIFA 17, The Journey. As Alex Hunter you get to lift the cup, deliver a sick burn to your estranged father, go home and play video games with your best mate and get called up to the England squad. Delightful! Until the Three Lions fail to qualify for the World Cup, anyway. Click here to know more fifa 17 news, this blog is my favorite blog about FIFA 17.

2. Firewatch

It’s not often that games end with the death of a small child, and rarer still when that’s not even the major emotional beat. Firewatch is such a title, a short and succinct novella of a game, with no guns or power-ups or extra lives or high scores. Just two characters, who build a tender relationship over months through nothing more than a walkie talkie – and never get to meet.

1. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

This is a proper ending, isn’t it? Too many games these days end with one minute of dialogue neatly wrapping things up in a bow and then – bam! Credits. Not Nathan Drake’s swan song though, oh no. We get the full works here. Nobody dies sacrificing themselves for another in the finale; Sam and Sully wander off to be larcenous gentlemen of leisure together, and Drake gets to go and pull rubbish out of the river. Any other game would end there but Naughty Dog are not any other developer. After that, we get a whole playable epilogue; we get to meet Nathan and Elena’s daughter, see the parents grow old together, and most importantly, play Crash freaking Bandicoot!. You will weep tears, tears of joy.
