GOTY 2016
The Year I Started A Whole Bunch More Games Than I Actually Finished™
But seriously, 2016 was a pretty fantastic year for games, both in the AAA and indie spaces. Due to events in my life, there were tons of games that I wanted to spend more time with this year (or even get a chance to check out at all!) that I never got the chance to get their hooks in me before the year ended. Some of these include some lesser-known games (like VA-11 Hall-A, Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE, Obduction, and Quadrilateral Cowboy), as well as some of the bigger titles to come out this year (Doom, Titanfall 2, and Dishonored 2, to name a few). I'll be keeping a lot of these games at the forefront of my backlog, hoping to get to them in early 2017.
I don't generally do a little preamble like this, but there was so much I missed this year I wanted to be sure the games that might have been on this list got their due as well. Anyway, on to my list of games that shaped my relaxing time in 2016! It was tough to narrow it down to just these 10.
