The 15 greatest games of the 2010s – ranked!

Friendships, communities and rivalries formed over the years as people went on cross-country or global trips to catch'em all. But this is an extraordinary and gripping game, where the rules of entry are constantly shifting and where lives perpetually hang in the balance.
