To make up for the lack of Microsoft and Sony consoles the multiplatform category should help this a little. Most of the next-gen games were multiplatform so there is no need for separate PS4 and Xbox One categories. With that said there were many fantastic games this year on next-gen consoles.

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

It was a hard decision this year but Shadow of Mordor is a brand new IP and the best Lord of the Rings game ever made. While it may borrow a lot from Assassin’s Creed, it perfects a lot of issues that the series couldn’t get right and adds many new ones like Sauron’s Army. With some of the best graphics ever seen and a fantastic story, what more could you want?
