5. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
With basically unlimited resources behind them after Uncharted 2 ended being awesome, developers Naughty Dog ramped the experience up a notch again with Uncharted 3. That's in terms of set pieces anyway - whether Nathan is dangling from a plane, trecking through the desert of escaping a burning French chateau, Uncharted 3 was a visual tour de force that upped the Uncharted series' sense of spectacle once more. It's only let down really by the storyline, which I feel is largely inferior and is rather recycled from Uncharted 2. It's still good, witty and filled with all the great characters we know and love, but it all felt rather samey, particularly within the ending section. There's no doubt that Uncharted 3 still deserves its place on this list though. Like the others, this game has incredibly satisfying combat, excellent, jaw-dropping set pieces and finally lets us learn more about the backstory behind Nate and Sully. It's also inevitable we'll see another Uncharted on the PS4 - you deserve to be up to speed with the series before that eventually happens.
4. Journey
Journey is a game about walking forwards towards a goal for reasons you don't quite understand. It's minimalistic to an extreme level - dropping you in with hardly any hints about what to do, or how to progress, but Journey's simplicity is, quite simply, a marvel. With a soaring soundtrack, incredible sights to see and a constant sense of loneliness, Journey makes you feel things in ways that more narrative-driven titles could never manage. I'm not ashamed to say I felt emotional trying to reach the top of Journey's mountain - I got sucked into the world and wanted my character to survive this barren wasteland. There are many theories behind what Journey actually means, but for me it was all about life. It starts with you in the desert as a child, then you grow through your teenage years, become stronger, and rush through your life, experience the lows and highs as time goes on. It's all open to interpretation and no matter how much you buy into metaphors, Journey will speak to you. I don't know the name of my character, why he was doing what he was doing or the meaning of most things I found in the world, but I intend to go back regularly and try to find out what I missed.
