What are the requirements for your final year project? Is it a software engineering project and you’re choosing to make a game?
How much time do you have to work on it? That will make a lot of decisions for you.
I would suggest cloning an old arcade game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_game#List_of_highest-grossing_arcade_video_games) and then adding your own twist to it – make a 3D version, add in extra power ups, make it 2 player or networked.
This way you don’t have to deal with the hassle of trying to design a game from scratch while also trying to build it.

I personally wouldn’t really look at it as making a game and more like how you would make a game. For my Final year project my lecturers focused on the research I did more than anything else. I had originally set out at the start to make a game myself but i found that it was kind of tough to get a full game going alone so i changed it to be more based around how you would structure code when developing games. If i was doing it this year what I would probably do is a comparative study on game engines
by designing very small simple game mechanics and seeing how the implementation of these mechanics differs between engines.
