Assassin's Creed Unity
Despite the variety of issues that befell many players, the PSLS staff still decided that Assassin's Creed Unity was worth playing. Some of us didn't experience the bugs being talked about, and others were able to overlook them to see the great game that Ubisoft crafted beneath the unforeseen issues that many ran across. No matter your opinion or experience with the game, Unity's release will certainly be a memorable one, for better or for worse. It's still one that we think you ought to check out.

Another games that starts with tales, but in an entirely different vein, Tales from the Borderlands Ep 1: Zer0 Sum is the Telltale Games view on the world of Borderlands.

Far Cry 4
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Far Cry 3 was such an excellent game that very little needed to be fixed or improved in the follow up. Far Cry 4 retains many of the great qualities of its predecessor, adding only marginal improvements to make an already great formula really shine. If you love open world first person games, you owe it to yourself to take on baddie Pagan Min in the mountainous region of Kyrat with Far Cry 4. Read our full Far Cry 4 review here.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

With Advanced Warfare, Call of Duty took a significant step forward in changing it's typical formula and being different while still remaining a Call of Duty game. If you've skipped over years worth of CoD titles, you may want to take a second look and pick up Advanced Warfare for a look at what a great Call of Duty game actually is.
