The last two years have been very meh for game, either AAA flops, or lack of good ones.

Tomb Raider gets my vote.

Over God of War? I heard the latest Tomb Raider was kind of a technical mess.

GoW is next on my PS4 list when I finish RDRII.

If you like the previous reboots of TR you will like this one too.

I love them, but haven't heard a lot of good things about this one.


I'll check it out eventually.

Red Dead may get it because of recency bias, but we’ll see. Strong candidates this year but God of War to me seem to have the least amount of flaws based on what everyone else said.

I had never played a God of War game and I was hooked from the start. My only complaint is how complicated the combat is. I liked it when I was playing, but took a break. When I came back to it and wanted to explore the other realms, I had forgotten everything and just didn't have it in me to learn the system again.

I still have so much to do in that game. I'll get to it at some point.
