　　Now Playing: Forza Horizon 4 - Official Launch Trailer

　　

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

This year's installment of the annualized series of shooters might not have a traditional campaign, but the meaty Zombies mode, multiplayer modes, and all-new battle royale mode called Blackout more than make up for it.

　　Buy it from Blizzard_____________________

　　

Forza Horizon 4

You don't even have to be a fan of the genre to get swept up in this open-world racer. You can play alone or with others as you collect 450 cars you can drive in races, stunt missions, and other exhilarating challenges.

Destiny 2: Forsaken Legendary Collection

With this year's release of Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion, Bungie has fixed just about every problem fans had with the game. Now there's so much to do and so many pieces of Exotic gear to chase that there's always a reason to log in and shoot some enemies.

Overwatch

With all the tweaks, events, and additions Blizzard puts into Overwatch on a regular basis, don't expect this competitive shooter to lose steam anytime soon.

　　Buy it from Amazon_____________________

　　

Hollow Knight

　　Buy it from Steam_____________________

　　

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

In this sprawling, engrossing action-RPG, you play as a monster-hunter-for-hire who travels around a surprisingly grounded fantasy world, dealing with the fantastical beasts that are pestering (or killing) helpless villagers.

　　Buy it from Humble_____________________

　　

Inside

It may be a bleak and oppressive game, but they mysteries in this puzzle-platformer are so weird and powerful that you'll have to see it through to its mind-bending conclusion.

　　Buy it from Humble_____________________

　　

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Hideo Kojima's final entry in the long-running Metal Gear series is an open-world delight, with fantastic stealth gameplay and a memorable set of characters you'll meet along the way.

　　Buy it from Steam_____________________

　　

Stardew Valley

The brilliant thing about this relaxing game of rural life is that you can spend your days doing whatever you want. You can do everything from tending to crops and romancing villagers, to exploring the mines and looking for treasure.
