The best thing to happen in games this year was Granblue Fantasy getting an English text option, but I dunno if that really counts as a 2016 release. Same goes for a handful of good remaster/DLC/expansion-type releases this year.

Witcher 3 : Blood and Wine. Expansion was better than any other game I have played in 2016.

 

[JesusPrice]

Fire Emblem Fates. 3 games under the same title, all amazing!!

 

[sabresfan129103]

Dark Souls 3. The strongest game in the Souls series IMO.

Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen for PC was also really really good. (IDK if this counts or not)

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Witcher 3 : Blood and Wine. Expansion was better than any other game I have played in 2016.

I'm excited to play this after I beat my Death March playthrough, but don't know if I would qualify it tbh.


Overwatch for me.

Also Bloodborne got 5 votes last year, while FO4 got 19... boo.

You are going to go bannanas. It is a whole new game, whole new map....I would even hesitate to call it an expansion...easy 40 hrs of content or more if you take your time.

 

[Butchered]

Firewatch is my top game of the year.

 

[Mikeaveli]

Dark Souls 3
Pokemon Sun & Moon
Overwatch

PS4 exclusivity probably has something to do with that. I'd love to play Bloodborne but I'm not buying a console for one game

Nothing really stands out for me.

I guess Uncharted 4 and FFXV.

I guess Uncharted 4 and FFXV.

Ya it wasn't a good year. Looking back, I had a clear #1 the last 5 years. This year, the best I can come up with is Fifa (the journey was great) or Clash Royale

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Pokémon Sun/Moon
Planet Coaster

 

[Diamondillium]

Planet Coaster is pretty much the only game for me that impressed this year, so that I guess.

 

[PALE PWNR]

Uncharted 4 and World of Warcraft: Legion

 

[Ozamataz Buckshank]

Stardew Valley
Blood and Wine
Pokemon Sun and Moon

 

[Jasper]

Total War: Warhammer, Battlefield 1

 

[Trap Jesus]

This has to be the weakest year in a while. Already been nominated, but I'd only really give a nod to The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine and Uncharted 4.

Does Blood and Wine technically count as an expansion though? It's still bigger than most games.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

No expansion belongs in the realm of 'Game of the Year' in my book.

XCOM 2
Planet Coaster
Sid Meier's Civilization VI
Pokemon Sun & Moon
Doom
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
Uncharted 4

[SeidoN]

The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine

 

[Afino]

Pokemon Sun and Moon's definitely lived up to the hype.

 

[Diamondillium]

Oh right, also Forza Horizon 3.

 

[PALE PWNR]

I'd rather rescind my vote for the WoW expansion then include a whole bunch of Downloadable content on 2 year old games.

 

[HanSolo]

Didn't play a lot of new games this year so I'm gonna say Pokemon sun and moon. For my money I say it's the second best pokemon after Heartgold/SoulSilver

 

[syz]

Surprised people would be down on this year. I feel like it's the best year of this generation so far by a few miles.
