Best games of 2016

Another year where I didn't play enough games to make a list of ten. I think World of Tanks was still taking up a lot of my time. The games that came out where awesome, though, and there where many more I didn't play. I'm too old for Overwatch.

Pokémon Go

1. Pokémon Go

Set the world ablaze that summer. Everyone walked around catching Pokémon, and they still do, four years on. Not many games I can play with my nieces, nephews, kids, and my wife! Wonder how many people died while walking around with their nose in their phone, oblivious to their surroundings.

XCOM 2

2. XCOM 2

Love me some Xcom. I made myself, my brothers, my dad, a few other friends, and family members, and we showed those aliens that we don't take kindly to their kind 'round here. My brother made the ultimate sacrifice in the end when he gave his life to save Earth. We miss you, Jo Erik.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

3. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

I seem to remember people hated this game, Well, maybe not hated, but it got criticized heavily. I still had some good fun with it.

Sid Meier's Civilization VI

4. Sid Meier's Civilization VI

More Civ. I love Civ. Can I have more Civ, soon? Please? Did I mention I love Civ?

Tom Clancy's The Division

5. Tom Clancy's The Division

Great coop game. Too bad my brothers have way more free time than me, so I quickly fell behind.

Tyranny

6. Tyranny

Quirky little take on the cRPH formula. Liked it, would love a sequel.

Stardew Valley

7. Stardew Valley

This type of game is dangerous. It takes too much time! Just one more day...

Pokémon Sun/Moon

8. Pokémon Sun/Moon

A few good QoL improvements over the last games, but not even this time I managed to get more than halfway.
