15 Best Video Games Of The Year (So Far)

14. Sir, You Are Being Hunted

Carrying on the stealth trend of nerve-wracked tension behind enemy lines, Sir, You're Being Hunted is a cracking little indie game from developers Big Robot that lets you choose between one of seven equipment-varying classes that will also affect how difficult your survival experience will be; The Aristrocrat, The Gamekeeper, The Inventor, The Officer, The Cook, The Artist and The Old Soak. The core gameplay revolves around you on the run from a series of different robotic enemies on a mysterious archipelago comprised of five islands, all the while trying your best to collect a series of mysterious shards so you can leave. Borrowing from Dishonoured's fantastically animated art-aesthetic and Don't Starve's bare-bones survivalist nature, you'll be evading guards' line of sight, catching and killing animals for food, raiding houses for supplies, and occasionally taking the fight back to your oppressors should be able to grab ahold of some precious ammunition along the way. It remains a little rough around the edges - especially where graphics are concerned - so if you're someone who knows your 60fps' from their dynamic lighting techniques it may be a little off-putting. However in terms of a game whose ambition and scope far exceed any shortcomings, it's one of the most intense floral experiences you'll find this side of Slender Man.
