12 Hidden Gem PS4/Xbox One Games You Must Play

Right now gaming is in a weird transitional state, there are social movements like #GamerGate prompting better acknowledgment of journalistic ethics and diversity in triple-A titles, just as the industry itself struggles to create anything new that can rope in the collective conscious in a positive way other than say, another GTA. Indie titles came to prominence in 2013 with the likes of Gone Home and Papers, Please leading the foray into darker subject matters that forced you to ask personal questions you never thought games would, and although 2014 was a very off year for gaming overall, there emerged a good spread of titles regardless of budget worth owning. Needless to say the industry of 2015 is a very flexible beast, with even Sony and Microsoft themselves not really knowing what people want - instead trying to please mass-consumers who've signed up for the likes of Xbox Live or PS Plus primarily with a slew of indie games, assumedly with the intention of drawing attention to smaller titles that are just as fun. Forcing these old-school games on a public who purchased a half-grand machine to see something at least in 3D has made many people turn their noses up at anything less than the most processor-demanding titles out there - but that does a huge disservice to the games that so far have flown under the radar. It's about time the best of the best was chosen and hey, nearly all of them are in glorious, forward-thinking, future-is-right-now three dimensions.
