9. Uncharted: Lost Legacy

Naughty Dog

Trust Naughty Dog to take what - in the hands of any other developer - could've been forgettable additional DLC, only to make something truly amazing out of it.

I saw truly amazing, because this is the best Uncharted of them all. Solving the other titles' problems with protracted length, one supernatural twist too many and an imbalance of action vs. story, Lost Legacy has one of the best dual protagonist dynamics ever in Chloe and Nadine, the best ending set-piece you've ever seen, gorgeous graphics and a tight runtime keeping it all together.

The whole thing thunders along, letting you go on a virtual tourist trip across India - complete with some great insight into Hinduism - as combat and punchy exchanges between our heroes result in one of the best character bonds of the decade.

You did good, Naughty Dog. Very good indeed.
