Looking back at the biggest hits of 2017, and ahead to the exciting releases of the year ahead with games ranging from pirates to the post-apocalyptic.

Julia plots a course through history starting with the Norse mythology of God of War, before landing in the Wild West to chat about Red Dead Redemption 2 with Chris Bratt from Eurogamer. Fast forward nearly 150 years and Far Cry 5's creative director Dan Hay reveals the inspiration for his game's militaristic doomsday cult, before Julia's final stop brings her to the ruined future of The Last of Us: Part II where she talks with GameSpot journalist Lucy James.
