Gamesmaster - January 2017

In this issue

THE 100 greatest games of 2017 and beyond ! - 2016 is over – congratulations, you made it! But 2017 is just beginning, and it looks absolutely blinding. So blinding, in fact, that we squinted hard and peered directly at it to compile the definitive list of everything you need to know. With secrets, shots, and key developer insights, here’s the brilliant future of videogames.

THE LAST GUARDIAN - Here’s a little known fact for you: the original title for Team Ico’s latest was ‘How To Train Your Dog-Cat-Bird Monster’. Flick over to our review to find out if we managed to get him to sit and roll over.

Final Fantasy XV - We’ve driven the flying car. We’ve cooked the Prime Garula Ribs. We’ve sat around the campfire. We’ve taken numerous wonky selfies. We’ve even picked our Best Boy (Prompto is Best Boy). And now, after all the chocobo races and gondola rides and furious dust-ups with wild animals, we’re ready to deliver our verdict.

We take a microscope to Hitman’s intricate defining level, Showstopper – and chat with its creators.

This month’s cover feature is so huge it can barely be contained by mere paper.

FFXV is finally here and we’re already arguing about who’s who on the GM team. Ben’s a total Prompto.

Curtains Up

With Hitman’s season concluded, we join IO Interactive and delve deep into its signature stage. This is the conception and construction of Showstopper.
