The game costs $30, which may sound a little much, but there is dozens of hours of content and the game consistently reveals new things and upends your expectations. It's a difficult game, but not an unfair one, and you'll be shocked by how very long it is.
The ingenuity of the level design and the way the game teaches you things without you even realising are where this game succeeds most. The game gives you little in the way of instructions and forces you to figure certain things out on your own, a nice breath of fresh air in the days of over-complicated tutorials. Pretty straightforward stuff but if you've played, or watched, I Am Bread or Surgeon Simulator, you'll know it's anything but. The gist is you roll a sausage around a map until you reach the cooking area, and attempt to keep it there, without burning it, until done. Stephen's Sausage Roll was definitely not a title I expected to come across in the Metacritic best games of 2016 list, and yet here it is. Let me guess, you haven't even heard of this one. Stephen's Sausage Roll Metacritic Score: 90 (User Score: 5.6)
#The best games of 2016 series#
From Software, and creator Miyazaki, say that Dark Souls III is the end of the series - although we will get more Bloodborne - thus the series leaves us the way it came in with a mighty punch in the face.Ĩ. Sure the frame rate can wobble here and there, and the difficulty spikes are egregious, but those are two small complaints in what is a fantastic game.
#The best games of 2016 software#
Once again rising from the ashes, the From Software team resurrected the series from the limp corpse of Dark Souls II, added what they learned from Bloodborne, and created their finest adventure into madness yet.ĭark Souls III is a masterclass is world design, boss battles, visuals, and character progression. The PS4-exclusive was another huge hit and proved that lightning could strike twice. Soon thereafter, Sony, releasing the error of its ways, rekindled its relationship with the studio to make Bloodborne. Dark Souls was a big success, then Dark Souls II released to less fanfare. I for one would have considered the art of being relentlessly killed to turn many gamers off, but apparently we are gluttons for punishment. Dark Souls III Metacritic Score: 89 (User Score: 8.6)ĭark Souls was born from the ashes of Demon Souls - a game that Sony had exclusive rights to but didn't see any potential in - and what a spiritual successor it turned out to be. There is no bias on this list, it's all based on the compiled reviews of critics, but don't be afraid to jump into the comments and let us know what your favourite games of 2016 were!ĩ. Several games scored the same average, and are therefore ordered by their user score. However, once you dig a little deeper and look past the Mirror's Edge's, Mafia 3's, and No Man's Sky's, you'll find a lot of great titles that surpassed expectations, or came out of nowhere to blow us away!īefore we dive in to this list of greatness, the games are listed by their Metacritic score. It's fair to say a lot of people left 2016 feeling a little disappointed - at least on the AAA front - especially when you glance back at the star-studded 2015. So that brings us to the very best 2016 had to offer. We like to take a look back and remember what we played, list our favourite games of the year, and even have a chuckle at the very worst the year had to offer. It's January 2017 and that means it's that time of year when we all get nostalgic for the year that was.
