Games of 2016

1. AbzûAbzûhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/AbzuOpens wiki page

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.

2. Ratchet & ClankRatchet & Clankhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Ratchet_And_Clank_2016Opens wiki page

One of the best Ratchet games except for the parts where it's a movie. It's still really really good.

3. Titanfall 2Titanfall 2https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Titanfall_2Opens wiki page

A supremely solid and well-crafted singleplayer campaign, alongside some great feeling multiplayer.

4. DoomDoomhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Doom_2016Opens wiki page

id made DOOM.

5. Uncharted 4: A Thief's EndUncharted 4: A Thief's Endhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Uncharted_4_A_Thiefs_EndOpens wiki page

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.

6. OverwatchOverwatchhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/OverwatchOpens wiki page

Blizzard made TF3.

7. FuriFurihttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/FuriOpens wiki page

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.

8. SeveredSeveredhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/SeveredOpens wiki page

Severed is fantastically paced with an extremely compelling gameplay loop. The art and sound design expertly evoked reactions out of me.
