Games of 2016
Here's the games that came out in 2016 that I played. Ordered by how much I enjoyed them.
List items
-
The comparisons to Journey and Flower are obvious and I think this nails it and surpasses its inspirations in a variety of ways. It's goddamn amazing.
-
One of the best Ratchet games except for the parts where it's a movie. It's still really really good.
-
A supremely solid and well-crafted singleplayer campaign, alongside some great feeling multiplayer.
-
id made DOOM.
-
The epilogue is a masterstroke and the game in general is outstanding technically. It's still Uncharted but there's some great open combat encounters.
-
Blizzard made TF3.
-
Bruisingly hard but in the best possible way. Bashing your head against the patterns is so much fun. S-ranking Furier is a proud accomplishment.
-
Severed is fantastically paced with an extremely compelling gameplay loop. The art and sound design expertly evoked reactions out of me.
-
-
-
A well executed Ace Attorney story that makes me really excited to see where the 7th main game goes. The séance mechanic isn't my favourite.
-
-
A solid Hitman game with some novel structural ideas. Probably doesn't need to be online-only.
-
The new levels aren't amazing and it's mostly a compilation but it's still fantastic.
-
OK sure, Gravity Rush came out in 2012. But the PS4 remaster that I played came out in the west in 2016!
-
It's way too short but the plot is so ballsy I can't help but love it.
-
I never really felt wholy engaged in the puzzles I was solving. They're extremely well designed, but never really found the inherent fun you were meant to find. That island sure was pretty though.
-
-
A solid rhythm game base with an okay soundtrack. Marred by baffling decisions (the chromatic abberation!).
-
It's quite short but a cute puzzle game.
