I'm doing this because I keep forgetting what I played in a given year and I want to stop forgetting. Explanations in 140 characters or less.

Overwatch

1. Overwatch

I think I played this game the most. I bow to all aspects of design that created this game.

Batman: Arkham Knight

2. Batman: Arkham Knight

This one's a few years old but played this year. Still so gorgeous. The gameplay made me feel Batman AF. And that's a great feeling.

Hitman

3. Hitman

I love and admire the level design. The challenges and variety of outcomes kept me coming back.

Mafia III

4. Mafia III

Out of all mediums, one of my favourite revenge stories because of it's time and place. And one of my fav soundtracks.

The Fall

5. The Fall

An adventure game with side-scroller shooter elements? I'm in! Compelling story about AI-ethics? I'm staying until it's over.

Stardew Valley

6. Stardew Valley

I think ignoring real-life chores to do video game chores is dumb. But this really clicked. It's relaxing and satisfying at the same time.

Firewatch

7. Firewatch

If this wasn't a game, I wouldn't be as invested in the characters as much as I was. And it's sooooo pretty!

The Witness

8. The Witness

This was my sudoku in a spa day in video game form.

Oxenfree

9. Oxenfree

This had one of my favourite ways of delivering story and character development using video games.

Pokémon Go

10. Pokémon Go

That was a beautiful month, huh?
