11. Aragami

Onto the better stuff, and props to developers Lince Works for rekindling the love millions of us have for vintage stealth. I'm talking Tenchu, Mark of the Ninja, Splinter Cell before Sam became a room-killing madman - all the games that would ensure you had to cling to shadows to survive, only making progress by dispatching one foe at a time.

Aragami is very much the same thing - for better or worse. Basically, if you didn't like creeping behind enemies and waiting for just the right moment to put them down, you won't here, either. On the contrary though, it's something of a nostalgia fest, twinned with Aragami (also the main entity's name)'s array of supernatural powers.

You'll zip between shadows in a blur, make enemy bodies disappear before others can investigate - you'll even summon a whopping great dragon to dispatch foes in a far more bloody manner, Liu Kang-style.

Aragami is positively dripping with style and substance, and in a sea of identikit blockbuster entertainment, is a refreshing throwback to the old school.
