Admittedly there's a recurring theme for epic games to be considered important within this list, but each of them is set to be carrying something a bit different or special. Horizon Zero Dawn is no different, and Guerilla Games' upcoming action RPG featuring an abandoned planet and a hunter protagonist fighting against robotic dinosaurs is a great prospect.

Described as being a cross between the Assassin's Creed Series and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Horizon Zero Dawn will have players employing all manner of tricks and tactics as they attempt to fell the mechanical beasts roaming the lands. The electricity and metal that these creatures are made from will be vital to our hunter's survival on the devastated planet, and it's a daunting task indeed.

But, when all's said and done, it's one small step that makes Horizon Zero Dawn so impressive. This open world RPG is set to be the biggest game ever to feature no loading screens - none at all! Given how even masterpieces like The Witcher 3 are hamstrung by unfortunately long and regular loading times, this will be a massive achievement if Guerilla Games truly pull it off.
