15. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

You probably know FromSoftware – these are the people behind the renowned Dark Souls series, and also the much-loved PS4 exclusive Bloodborne too. But even if game designer Hidetaka Miyazaki broke everyone’s heart when he said the Dark Souls series was over for good, he’s now making a comeback with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Like the Souls games, this ninja game is played in third-person, and has a focus on combat. There are plenty of otherworldly creatures here as you might expect, as well as human opponents. Also, the fact protagonist Sekiro is not a silent character but has a voice will allow FromSoftware to deliver a more involved story this time around. The complete lack of multiplayer options might disappoint some, though. Nonetheless, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice could still be Game of the Year material thanks to its exotic Japan setting, exciting action and Miyazaki’s magic touch no doubt.

Release date: March 22, 2019. Available on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
