Best of 2016
Look no further than this list which peters out in the back half.
List items

Hitman surprised me. Even after I'd seen so much of it through Dan and Brad. I loved watching them kill guys in cool ways I didn't think I'd have so much fun doing it myself. I did. I even like the levels no one else likes.
-
Overwatch is just a supremely polished game with so many very good ways to play it that it doesn't really get old. Plus the personality is on point, as is the community. It was tough giving this only 2nd place.
-
Superhot is just rad as hell.
-
Stardew Valley is a perfect mix of Minecraft and Harvest Moon that surpasses its inspirations handily. It's really an amazing accomplishment.
-
Stellaris was a game I sunk into for a few months and was grateful to get out of. It's riddled with issues and didn't deliver what it promised, but for several months I was engrossed with my empire, the Rygh Utilitaria. I will always remember that playthrough.
-
The Witness is a really atmospheric game that also has really good puzzles in it. I enjoyed spending time unraveling The Witness.
-
Pokémon Sun is the best Pokémon game they've ever made, and not just in a year over year way like usual. It makes significant and meaningful strides in every category in ways that make it hard to ignore.
-
Picross 3D: Round 2 is not like The Witness. It is nothing more than a Puzzle Game. It's a really great one though. The two color addition to their previous Picross 3D game works super well.
-
Firewatch is... Wait, what is Firewatch? It's very pretty, that's what it is. It's nice hanging out in some well rendered woods, taking polaroids or whatever. This is a nice game.
-
Rec Room is a game I've not played. That said, the VRodeo in which Jeff played it is so good I want to put it on this list. I hope they play it again sometime.
