With "last gen" basically over, what were the standouts?
For my money, Dark Souls and Rayman will be those games you'll want to play ten years from now. Especially Rayman.. One of the few, if not only, modern platformers that didn't chase a standard set years ago (Like Sonic Generations did), but raised the bar and became a standard all it's own.

It was basically a remake of the best of Sonic, from levels to the awesome rival battles (Seriously, the "Shadow" battle was so awesome, it melted my face. All Hail Shadow and Live and Learn to the power ups were nice touches.)
But in the end, a rehash is a rehash, no matter how well done it is. Rayman Origins and Legends went the extra mile with the unique Wii U controls, and even without that the level designs and boss battles were totally unique.
But yeah, Generations is so good, it makes me regret not being able to play Colors..

Maybe. Generations was definately the most fun I've had with Sonic since the 16 bit era.
Except for Planet Wisp.. Hated that level.

I'll throw "Saints Row IV" on the list. The game is just f*cking fun.

Loved it on PS2 (Might go replay it now ), but yeah, it deserves a mention on last gen, remake or not.
