You can play your male or female version of Morgan Yu however you see fit perhaps you'll roleplay the sneaky scientist who scavenges thoroughly and clings to their humanity, or succumb to the siren song of reality-bending, DNA-tainting alien abilities in the name of survival (and totally sweet powers).

Why should you play it? Ignore the ill-advised use of an existing, totally unrelated game name - this Prey (opens in new tab) has way more in common with the classic System Shock series (which paved the way for BioShock) and their palpable, stifling sense of you're-not-alone atmosphere. What is it? A spooky sci-fi FPS, set aboard a space station crawling with goopy, tar-black aliens called the Typhon who love to mimic objects and hide in plain sight. Either way, you'll queue right back up to try again.
Maybe you'll take that last shot and emerge with a "Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner". Inexplicable electric walls of death close in and PUBG transforms from scavenging-n-skirmishes to deadly hide and seek. Watching the living player count tick down from the 90s into the teens as you implausibly survive - maybe you found a sniper rifle and dropped that count by a good portion yourself, maybe you stole said sniper's car and sped away under fire, or maybe you just hid in a bathtub for 15 minutes - is thrilling as it is anxiety producing.

Why should you play it? Maybe it sounds like a thin tweak on the usual ‘shoot at folks online’ formula, but PUBG (opens in new tab) feels worlds apart from anything else (aside from the mods it builds on, and other shooters emerging to imitate it). What is it? A hundred-player battle in which everyone starts with no weapons and no objective aside from ‘be the last one standing’. The innovative, proximity-based chat system (which means you can only talk to other players when you find them, and Jason can overhear careless strategy chatter) is almost worth the price of entry alone. Giving survivors just enough tools to scavenge and improvise all manner of hilariously desperate escape plans, and Jason a suite of satisfying, creative powers with which to recreate the authentic, supernatural slasher experience (variable depending on which movie's version of the hockey-masked teen-botherer you use), if you play with a group of friends, Friday the 13th delivers endlessly exciting, funny, and unpredictably dynamic fun, with replay value forever.

An asymmetric survival game or tactical murder simulator (depending on whether you play a hapless teen or Jason himself), what the game might lack in AAA polish, it more than makes up for in love for both the source material and the human, player experience. Why should you play it? If ever there was a 'Little game that could' in 2017, it was IllFonic's Friday the 13th (opens in new tab). Not many games this year can make you do that now, can they? Bradley Russell You’ll laugh, you’ll cry you’ll want to blindfold yourself and start quoting Nietzsche. If you haven’t played it already, what are you waiting for? If you have: play it again, and again, and again (there are 26 endings, you know). Thankfully, this is Bayonetta on steroids: every weighty blow, slash, and parry makes each enemy encounter feel utterly electric. But that accounts for nothing if the gameplay isn’t up to scratch. 2B and 9S’s journey is packed with the kind of emotional gravitas rarely seen in the medium, exposing the player to something far beyond the Philosophy 101 textbook utilised by most of its peers. The end result? One of 2017’s best hidden gems. Boasting a deceptively deep story and wonderfully winding twists and turns, the second entry in the NieR saga combines the meta-narrative kookiness of creator Yoko Taro and fuses it with the pulsating pace of Platinum’s unique blend of frenzied action. Why should you play it? Simply put, NieR Automata (opens in new tab) is the best game Hideo Kojima never made. What is it? A hack-and-slash romp through a post-apocalyptic Earth.
