As one year draws to a close and another begins, it’s the ideal time to reflect on the best games of the year. There have been some great games that we have all loved playing – here are some of the best:

• Battletech. A robot game that feels different to some of the others, Battletech is very strategic. You will need to complete missions, some of which are very difficult. It is available on Windows and OS X.
• Far Cry 5. This new Ubisoft shooter is set in the Midwest, with a range of new weapons to use (including a bear) and intriguing gameplay that will keep you guessing. It’s available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
• Graveyard Keeper. This is a farming simulation game with a twist – and quite a dark one. It’s about keeping a graveyard, and it’s difficult to master. You can play it on Windows and Xbox One console.
