Destiny
Destiny is a console-exclusive FPS/RPG that features a brilliant combination of cinematic storytelling in addition to cooperative and competitive gameplay that will see players banding together to take down challenging bosses or engage in some arena-like PvP. Set in our own solar system way in the future, the game also has a vast persistent online world in campaign mode for you to explore alone or with friends. Destiny provides players with a wide variety of customization and upgrade options as well, allowing you to craft every aspect of how your character look and fight.Destiny has been one of the most critically acclaimed, consoles-only games of the century. The game has the addictiveness of modern MMORPGs as well as the depth that rivals that of Skyrim, albeit set in an aging solar system. If you happen to own a PlLaystation or an Xbox, this is one game you'll want to add to your library.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is the first of a hugely popular post-apocalyptic-themed, first-person, survival-horror shooter which might have just amassed a cult following. Set in 2012, almost two decades after the worst nuclear disaster occured at the Chernobyl power station and around 6 years after a second explosion rocked the damaged reactor, causing various anomalies to ripple open and from them came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation and also rare artifacts that are somehow imbued with powerful anomalous energy... artifacts that many would kill to have.Since then, the existence of such artifacts have brought forth groups of "stalkers", scavengers who scour the cordoned areas around Chernobyl for these very objects... and in this game, you play as one of them.
The game has risen to acclamation partly due to the terrifying, nightmarish creatures that the game contains, in addition to the brilliantly immersive storyline and an incredibly realistic game environemnt that's modelled after its real-world counterpart deep inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The gameplay is excellent as well. The game has accurate ballstics and combat mechanics, as well as a challenging survival aspect that is further made difficult due to the impact day and night, and the weather system has on the environment. There is also a multiplayer mode that can support up to 32 players.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has just celebrated its 10-year anniversary earlier this year and as such, many aspects of the game aren't really up to scratch by today's standards at least. If you do plan on getting this game, you might want to download some mods to help improve the game somewhat.
