My Top 5 Games of 2016

Although 2016 was overall a pretty terrible year, at least it was a good year for games. So how about we forget all the bad stuff, and focus on the good things that came out of this year. These are my top 5 games of 2016.

1. UC4
2. Overwatch
3. Doom
4. Inside

My top 5

1. Enter the Gungeon - the best rogue like/bullet hell game i have ever played. The Best guns in a game to date.

2. Ratchet & Clank - arguably the best looking cartoon style game ever, with gameplay to match. A masterclass in rebooting a series. Insomniac is hitting on all cylinders with Spider-man on the horizon. Good times.

3. Uncharted 4 - admittedly i have not finished the game bc i wanted to run through the Drake collection before i finish the series finale. However, the hours i did put in revealed the brilliant brush that ND so effortlessly paints with. It literally appears to be as close to a flawless game as we've had in a while. Best in class visuals, voice acting, performance capture, and perhaps writing.

4. DOOM - Spectacular sp, perfect hardcore score, and the best combat in any FPS this year. Did i mention it's absolutely gorgeous and it runs at 60fps on console? DOOM is back, id is back, and the id tech engine is stunning. Can't wait to see Wolfenstein TNO 2 running on this. It's arguable (imo) that the past 3 years the best FPS has been Published by Bethesda and running on id tech. Wolfenstein TNO (2014), The Old Blood (2015), DOOM (2016).

5. Salt n Sanctuary - a one man band made this masterful 2D Dark Souls delight. It IS Soulsborne in 2D, and it's spectacular.

Honorable mention: LET IT DIE - i am utterly addicted to this styled out Suda51 rogue like. It's a rogue like with aspects of Dark Souls, but in reality it defies explanation. It just has so many enjoyable elements and you do not have to spend a penny to be successful and have fun.

There are several games i own that i anticipated as being goty candidates but i simply haven't had the time to properly play them yet. These games are Deus Ex MKD, The Last Guardian, FFXV, and Dishonored 2. Inside falls into this category as well, so this list is subject to change.

Same here, sad part is a lot of games that I wanna play but haven't had the time to, I'll probably never get to play due to other games constantly releasing throughout the year. I haven't had a true drought yet that allowed me to clear a couple games off my backlog. I just need a month to beat TLG and Dishonored 2 lol. I got GR2 coming this month, Nioh, For Honor, and then Horizon in feb. Nier in March, and P5 in April. I fear I may never play TLG or Dishonored 2 if this continues throughout the year.

It's pretty much uncharted 4.......and then everything else

[Der_Kommandant]

Inside was amazing!!, it rape your brains out.

My top 5 games that I played this year.

#5 Forza 3 (Pc/X1)
#4 Doom (Pc)
#3 Battlefield 1 (Pc)
#2 Uncharted 4 (Ps4)
#1 Dead by Daylight! (PC)

And yes my # 1 game is a indy game but damn! Never a game delivered the feel of being Micheal Myers or a teen like this game.

[InMyOpinion]

Forza Horizon 3, Battlefield 1 and Uncharted 4 are the three games I think deserve GOTY the most.

[InMyOpinion]

I wasn't that impressed with Hyper Light Drifter. It got tedious. I'd replace it with BF1.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Hyper Light was my disappointment of the year. I was thoroughly hyped, dropped $20 on it day 1 on PS4, and didn't have the heart to make it through the Water Temple. No words hurts the narrative imo, this isn't Journey. The map is the most convoluted piece of garbage i have ever seen. The terrible framerate kills the combat and makes the dash move unreliable. Cheap deaths ensue in a game that is already unreasonably difficult. I beat Enter the Gungeon 10x so i enjoy challenges, but Hyper Light is just frustrating. The art is spectacular, but the game is so flawed and overhyped. I honestly hate it and will never touch it again. The Water Temple music is awful. I enjoyed Rack n Ruin more.

[InMyOpinion]

I completely agree with everything you said above. I beat three of the bosses then put it down and haven't played it since.

[Bebedora]

I cannot agree with UC4 being the top-dog in 2016.
UC:DF and UC2 was great and deserved their accolades.

BF1 campaign really gave me another dimension in storytelling. I must say that one was truly awesome.
Had some awful AI at times though.

Besides of that, I haven't played so many games this year.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Mine would be

Dishonored 2
Uncharted 4
Doom
BioShock: The Collection
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
