20 Best Video Games Of The GENERATION

8. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

If we were awarding titles based purely off gameplay and nothing else, The Phantom Pain would walk it.

Hideo Kojima's final Metal Gear is as barmy as always, but by going open-world he frees up your infiltration options per area. Twinned with Kojima's own "kitchen sink" mentality, the sheer amount of possibilities you have - whilst also building your army one scanned soldier at a time - makes MGS V stupidly hilarious, addictive and satisfying in equal measure.

Even a hampered ending can't fault how supremely well designed everything about playing this really is.
