Still, others mess up all of those other aspects but still manage to stick in your mind weeks after the credits have rolled. If you're going to be the best game of the year, you've got to bring a lot to the table. Shooting from cover, springing out into the open, leaping through the air, tethering the rope to an anchor, swinging around an obstacle and then letting go at just the right time to come crashing down on a baddie fist-first is exhilarating, and Uncharted 4 lets you do things like that on a regular basis.īolt all of that fun shooting and platforming onto a legitimately compelling story and it's not hard to see why the crowd goes wild at a press conference just because the Naughty Dog logo has appeared before a new trailer.
You wouldn't think that something as simple as a rope could have such a big impact, but the way swinging around allows the player to pull off more high-flying antics than ever before is impressive.
The game's environments are insanely detailed, the acting is captivating and the action is more varied than it has ever been. Naughty Dog is one of those developers you just expect greatness out of these days and, with Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, they delivered it once again. Throw in a bunch of creative guns that are fun to shoot, multiple classes of Titans to figure out and some pretty sweet abilities, and Titanfall 2 surprised us by being some of the most fun you could have with a controller in hand this year. It felt like we were being asked to do something different every few minutes, which is a nice departure from the usual "move to a room, shoot the things, repeat" loop of other shooters. But what really wowed us was the level design and variety seen throughout Titanfall 2's generous campaign. While the story is serviceable enough, the mech companion, BT-7274, has more personality than most human characters in other games. We went in expecting exactly that out of Titanfall 2 and received so, so much more. Nowadays, single player campaigns in shooters often feel like they were bolted on just to earn a check mark on the back of the game's box. Tekken Tag Tournament 2: A fun, arcade fighting game that you and a friend can dominate and work together to defeat other teams around the world for great competition.Talk about a dark horse candidate for game of the year, we wouldn't blame anyone for making Titanfall 2 their top pick for 2016.Tekken 6: An arcade fighting game to show your friends how great you are.Splinter Cell: Conviction: Great stealth, third-person shooter action.Rage: FPS co-op Missions are really fun, but it'll only take a few hours to beat it.Outfit: A very cheap game that is actually very fun.Mortal Kombat: Arcade fighting game with pretty good co-op gameplay in ladders and even online matches.Lost Planet 2: Third-person shooter game that is kind of annoying, but the co-op is pretty good.Kane & Lynch: A pretty horrible game, but the co-op features are a lot of fun.So this game would be great to rent or borrow, but definitely not buy.
#BEST XBOX GAMES OF 2016 SERIES#
The Resident Evil series revolves around a revolving cast of characters trying to save the world from biological-related doom. Only you can heal your partner, and vice versa. Adding a partner will cause the game to reload at the last checkpoint, and they will have to wait until you reach the next one, or restart the previous one. The shooting mechanic isn't the best, but the split-screen co-op stresses teamwork and can enhance the campaign experience. Resident Evil 6 is one of my favorite TPS games, but Resident Evil 5 shares a similar split-screen mode.
