So does the series work without its leading man? Er – yeah, of course it does. Uncharted 4 may have wrapped up Nathan Drake’s story, but given how much of a success the series has been for Naughty Dog, it seemed inevitable that a spin-off would turn up. I still enjoyed it enough though for it to scrape into sixth place on my list.ĥ: Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (PS4 Exclusive). Overall the story and characterisation make this a good entry in the series, if admittedly not a perfect one, as the quick-time events are very mixed in quality (they aren’t particularly difficult, and while the melee combat is good enough the shooting mechanics are terrible). Choices in Telltale games often feel emotionally tied to characters rather than having a major impact on the overall plot, but there’s a few here that have lasting impact on the way the last two episodes play out (including whether Nebula and Mantis join the Guardians). As well as delving into Quill, Rocket, Gamora and Drax’s backstories, the 5 episode series features run-ins with Thanos, the Nova Corp, The Collector’s agents and newcomer Hela the Accuser, a Kree warrior who serves as the main antagonist. As you’d except with the Guardians, the dialogue options are often hilarious, but its the strength of the storyline that will grip you. But that isn’t an annoyance, as it allows the game makers to push the characters further than they have been in the film series. I’ll forewarn film fans that this isn’t tied to the Marvel Film adaptions – the characters are the same, but aren’t voiced by the same actors nor do they look all that similar. Having breathed new life into the Borderlands series and told interesting tales in the Batman and Game of Thrones universes, they’ve now turned their hands to the Guardians of the Galaxy series. Telltale games may not be your thing if your main focus is gameplay (or graphics for that matter), but for story and character values they always excel. So here’s my top 6 and, as a bonus, my favourite bit of DLC too!Ħ: Guardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series It’s not been a vintage year for gaming (Mass Effect: Andromeda and Star Wars Battlefront 2 both fell short of the mark for different reasons) but there’s still been some really fun entries.
As always, some games weren’t 2017 releases but ones I’ve only just got around to this year. As usual for late December, here’s my take on my favourite games I’ve been playing this year.
