Best of 2016
My favourite newly released games in 2016 with commentary on the top 10.
List items
-
No game has consistently given me more enjoyment over 2016. I regularly dip into it to do the latest elusive contract or escalation. IO triumphant.
-
Total surprise to me and a game I sunk hours into during the summer months. Spectacular Amiga style graphics and precise fun mechanics elevate this rogue-like.
-
[PS4 Release] Combines Dungeon Keeper style management with a fun RTS game. Platinum Trophy says it all.
-
Back on form and a new benchmark in video game story telling. This darker entry in the series owes a lot to the Last of Us but luckily avoids the nihilistic tone.
-
The plot is complete nonsense but luckily the gameplay twists on the predecessors work brilliantly. Challenging but a lot of fun.
-
Welcome remaster of my favourite games. Bioshock 2 especially shines. Video commentary and all the DLC complete a brilliant package.
-
Wasn't expecting it to be as good as it is. The Imaginators finally allows Toys4Bob to achieve what they messed up with TrapTeam. Creative and fun.
-
Incredible looking game and the way you should remaster a classic.
-
[PS4 Release] Didn't click with me on 3DS but the larger screen really helps the gameplay, and removes some of the unfairness I felt with the original release. Cracking turn-based strategy game.
-
[PSVita release] Vita feels like the natural home for this entertaining rhythm action rogue-like. Plug in headphone and enjoy!
-
-
Thematic and fun turn-based adventure puzzle game. Played it on PSTV in my hotel room!
-
Mind-blowing VR launch title. New content adds a cool retro mode too.
-
Loads of fun, if a little short. Great use of VR.
-
Best Worms game in many years. Far more focussed with new elements that actually work. Mech is awesome.
-
One of the best PSVR exclusives. Literally a rollercoaster ride of jump shocks and slasher horror.
-
Best F1 game in years. Even better if you have a wheel.
-
Flawed but ambitious. I enjoyed my time with it. Like Elite Dangerous, good at some things and terrible at others.
-
Enjoyable sequel and still loads of fun. Ruined by the greedy micro transaction model, grind, and blind boxes.
-
Clever VR god game. I found the difficulty ramps up a bit too quickly.
-
PS Vita - decent port with all the content you expect from a portable Civ game.
-
Brain melting in VR. Intense but rewarding when you nail a series of inputs.
-
Plus on Vita - decent port with all the content from Enemy Within included.
-
Finally a decent, fun and colourful racer on the PS4/Xbox.
-
Great fun in local co-op. Bring friends and don't shout.
-
Bleak, lovercraftian RPG. Good but very challenging.
-
Started off really good but maybe got to complicated too quickly. Buggy too.
-
I didn't find it as interesting as Limbo, but it is a unique and intriguing game nevertheless.
-
[PS4 Release] Didn't get to play enough in 2016. will post more thoughts when I do.
-
Interesting story and worth playing.
-
Fun for a while but made me motion sick before I was finally bored with the repetition. Shooters are not my thing anymore, but at least this one was refreshing.
