Less daunting than Skyrim yet still offering amazing scale, Bethesda's fantasy remains a gem. It gets bonus points for ace use of Patrick Stewart.

ELDER SCROLLS: 4 OBLIVION

An irreverent slice of sci-fi that mixes elements of Firefly and Mass Effect to brilliant effect. It's also that rarest of beasts: a genuinely funny video game.

THE OUTER WORLDS
