Game of the Year 2016
While 2016 came with a lot of trouble, strife, disappointment, disenfranchisement, and just an overall sense dread usually relegated to stories from the darker moments of human history or dystopian fiction, it was a hell of a year for videogames. Not only did some bangers and incredible surprises release this year but it also marked my personal entry into the videogames industry, a goal I have been striving for for quite some time now.
My original intent was to do a deep dive on each game, delving into the nuance of why they made the list, but honestly I just don't have the time nor the writing chops for that right now so instead I'll pump as much info as a can about why I loved each of these games in nice concise little chunks.
