Top most demanding games. Best games

Overwatch

Opening the list is Blizzard's stunning Overwatch. The giant igrostroya decided to create a new universe to replace the previous one, which is in no way connected with them. The developers managed to combine a dynamic team shooter and RPG with beautiful skins and other goodies in the gameplay. At the moment, the game has more than a dozen unique characters and no classes - each hero has unique abilities, mechanics and ults. It looks very spectacular and certainly deserves the highest praise. The only negative is that the game is paid and costs from 1999 rubles.

Battleborn

Overwatch has already got its first competitors, and at the top of the list is Battleborn, which was developed by well-known Gearbox Software. The guys decided to take a break from the Borderlands franchise and release a long-running online project. The battles revolve around the 5v5 team mode, and for fans of the storyline, there is a full-fledged PvE co-op. The icing on the cake was 25 different characters.

Black Desert

This Korean game is perhaps the most ambitious and scandalous RPG of 2016. It boasts a huge open world, good graphics, lots of things to do both outside of raids and in PvP. There is also a well-thought-out scheme for gaining experience and things. Well, it has been scandalous since its launch in Russia. The fact is that the publisher was selling special access to a premium server, and when the game was officially released and all the servers turned out to be free, the deceived buyers were left without their goodies and a special server.

Lineage Eternal

How much nostalgia in the word "Lineage", but not a little disappointment. Eternal was announced a couple of years ago, but it got into open testing only recently. The developers decided to recreate the Diablo genre with their embellishments and additions. In addition to single player, there is an online PvP mode: sieges, wars between guilds and bonus loot. By the way, the direct competitor is Lost Ark, which climbed one line below. In general, both games are almost identical in terms of gameplay.

Lost Ark

A fan of killing his mouse with constant clicks? Then Lost Ark will surely appeal to you. The Koreans made a clone of Diablo 3 and not so bad. In stock there are colorful graphics in the style of Korean RPGs, pumping in crowds of enemies and bosses, tons of loot and about 20 playable classes. If there is no desire to buy Diablo, then feel free to choose Lost Ark.

Star Citizen

Every gamer has heard of Star Citizen, the space sim that is breaking all Kickstarter fundraising records. To date, the developers have managed to raise more than 110 million dollars, but the MMO does not have an official date, let's hope that it will be released after all in 2016 - how much can we put off already? Recall that the game positions itself as a large-scale multiplayer project, where each player has a spaceship with blackjack and tuning, well, how could it be without PvP battles in space.

World of Warcraft: Legion

For Warcraft fans, it's time to pre-order a new addition - Gul'dan with the minions of the Legion seeks to destroy Azeroth, and the players must prevent this from being done. Blizzard's new stuff is all right: a new class, new abilities for heroes, instances, weapon swaps, class halls, and more. The cost of pre-order is from 1999 rubles, plus a monthly subscription in the region of 549 rubles.

2016 doesn't seem to be a big game in the Assassin's Creed series, but the second and third installments will be released in early January and February, respectively. While maintaining the same gameplay as in the previous part, the new series will be made in a completely different graphic style. "India" - in a bright, filled with colors of the oriental bazaar, summer style, and "Russia" - in a strict, winter, poster graphics of the 20s of the XX century. Both projects are contenders for the Editors' Choice 2016 award in the Style category.

Platforms: Windows

Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is a prequel to the legendary Homeworld, which takes place 100 years before the events of the original game, but not in space, but on the surface of the planet. The place of the mother ship was taken by a mobile base plowing the desert expanses. But the main thing is RTS, which in recent years has been offensively few.

Release date: January 28, 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360

Rise of the Tomb Raider was not lucky enough to be released on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One at the same time, so sales on the Microsoft platform were not particularly impressive, although in general the game collected good reviews from the press and gamers. In January, the project will be released on PC, and at the end of 2016 - on PlayStation 4. Let's hope that here the new adventures of the tomb raider will be sold in large numbers.

American Truck Simulator

Release date: February 3, 2016


Heavy truck simulators from the Czech SCS Software are back in America. The series began 14 years ago with the American Hard Truck: 18 Wheels of Steel, officially considered the third part of Softlab NSK's Hard Truck, and now, after 14 games, including a super-successful trucker job, we are back in the USA. As in the case of Europe, SCS Software will start the conquest of America with a small area - California, which, however, will contain about 100 cities. And the company plans to cover the entire territory of the United States in the future. So expect a series of DLC.

XCOM 2

Release date: February 5, 2016
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, Linux

The new XCOM will give all lovers of tactical strategy the opportunity to participate in guerrilla warfare against aliens. 20 years have passed since the government of the Earth surrendered, the planet is ruled by aliens, but at the edge of the world there is a group of disaffected people who are ready to challenge the power of strangers.

Firewatch

Release date: February 5, 2016
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, Linux, PlayStation 4

This, as well as an unusual way of presenting the story in the conversations of the protagonist with the radio dispatcher, plus a strong visual series draw attention to the project.

Far Cry Primal

Release date: February 23 / March 1, 2016


After exploring tropical islands, African deserts and the Himalayas, Ubisoft decided to send the Far Cry series into the distant past. Far Cry Primal is a story about a primitive hunter who is trying to survive in a cruel world where literally everything threatens him with a painful death. However, our hero knows how to tame wild animals, which, it seems, will play an important role in the gameplay of prehistoric Far Cry. On PC, the game will appear a week later than on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Tom Clancy's The Division

Release date: March 8, 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

We were waiting for the release of the post-apocalyptic action/adventure under the Tom Clancy brand last year, but The Division was once again delayed. We hope that the game will be released on March 8, and we will be able to see for ourselves how the project schedule differs from the one shown in the very first video of 2013. And of course, the main question is how the gameplay of The Division will differ from the gameplay of Ubisoft's other action/adventure games - Assasin's Creed and Far Cry.

Hitman

Release date: March 11, 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

When the authors of the game series, in which five large projects have already been released, choose a one-word title for the next part, this should indicate a restart of the series. However, the creators of Hitman claim that this is not a restart, but a new beginning for Agent 47. In addition, the developers promise levels 6-7 times larger than in, up to 300 NPCs in each mission, plus the ability to save at any time . Someone will call the last point a betrayal of the Hitman ideals, but we will wait for the game to be released, and then we will draw conclusions.

DOOM

Release date: spring 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

Another game returning to a simple title. The fourth part of DOOM is simply called DOOM, and no one remained in the id Software that developed it who worked on the first game in the series. DOOM without the Carmacks, Romero, Hall, Hollenshead... it's even interesting. The development of the project, still called DOOM 4, began in 2008 and was extremely difficult. In 2013, after John Carmack left the studio, the project was sent for processing. As a result, now we are promised an old-school shooter without shelters and health regeneration, with blood, meat and hurricane shooting. Well, MachineGames succeeded, let's see what happens with the new id Software.

Homefront: The Revolution

Release date: spring 2016
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

The sequel to Homefront also had a hard time getting to the players. The studio that created the first part of the shooter was closed, then the copyright owner THQ went bankrupt. As a result, in 2013 the rights went to Crytek, but due to financial problems in 2014 they were sold to Koch Media (Deep Silver), which also included the developers of the project. The new Homefront: The Revolution is no longer a mission shooter, but an open world game with tons of side quests, futuristic gadgets, crafting, customizable weapons and a role-playing system. Judging by the videos, it looks interesting, but it’s hard to believe in the veracity of the named dates.

Ratchet and Clank

Release date: 12 April 2016
Platforms: PlayStation 4

Ratchet and Clank is a remake of the very first part, timed to coincide with the release of the film of the same name. Adventures of Ratchet and Clank is a classic good arcade game for the whole family and a great way to introduce the younger generation of players to undeservedly forgotten heroes.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Release date: 26 April 2016
Platforms: PlayStation 4

Several key employees have left during Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Naughty Dog, but neither this nor Santa Barbara with Drake's older brother showing up out of nowhere can undermine our belief that the final part of Uncharted will be one of the main games. 2016.

Total War: Warhammer

Release date: April 28, 2016
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, Linux

Having covered, it seems, all available periods of human history, Creative Assembly took up fantasy worlds. Total War: Warhammer is a real gift for fans of global strategies, tactical battles and the Warhammer universe. But how Creative Assembly manages to combine magic, technology, giant creatures and flying units within the same battlefield remains a big mystery. Campaigns for humans, gnomes, orcs and vampires are promised. In addition to the original game, two major additions are planned that will make up the Total War Warhammer trilogy.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst

Release date: 26 May 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is not the second part of the legendary first-person parkour created by EA DICE.

Overwatch

In the meantime, on the official YouTube channel, you can get acquainted with the abilities of the heroes and the gameplay features for each of the characters.

No Man's Sky

Release date: June 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4

We hoped that the ambitious project Hello Games would be released in 2015, but the task facing the developers was not so simple. It's no joke - a procedurally generated universe with a quintillion star systems, where everything is created before the start of a new game, starting with star clusters and ending with every blade of grass on each of the planets. Are you ready for the biggest journey of your life?

We Happy Few

Release date: June 2016
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Xbox One

The new game of Compulsion Games, the authors of the original platformer, which at one time became one of the starting projects of the PlayStation 4, is a survival simulator in a world of total happiness. If the forced happy residents of the small English town of Willington Wells suspect that you are not enjoying life enough, polite police officers will quickly pump the missing dose of happiness into you. It sounds very unusual, but We Happy Few looks even more original. The game world is exaggerated retrofuturism with a touch of dystopia in the style of the 60s.

Dishonored 2

Release date: Q2 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One

The stealth/action sequel takes place 15 years after the events of the original game.

Horizon: Zero Dawn

Release date: 2016
Platforms: PlayStation 4

Guerrilla Games' first serious attempt to make "not Killzone" looks very interesting so far. In the post-apocalyptic world of Horizon: Zero Dawn, humanity regressed to a primitive state is forced to hunt giant robots that have evolved from ordinary mechanisms to deadly animals. The developers promise an open world devoid of loading screens, a dynamic change in the time of day and weather conditions, as well as a collection of scrap required for the setting to create items.

The Last Guardian

Release date: 2016
Platforms: PlayStation 4

We already have a purely sporting interest in The Last Guardian, the game has been in development for the past nine years with varying success and will either return Team Ico to its former glory, or completely bury the once great studio.

Surely, the list of interesting games in 2016 is not limited to the projects we have listed, and we will see many more high-profile announcements and releases. In any case, the year promises to be interesting.

In this article, we have prepared for you TOP 10 games of 2016. Some of them have already come out, causing a wave of excitement among their fans. Some, as they say, are “on the way”, but we have included them in the rating as highly anticipated products, the appearance of which will definitely not go unnoticed.

Of course, everyone has their own list of favorite games, and any TOPs are just someone's opinion. Someone might want to include a little-known game in the top ten just because they found it interesting. In our version of the TOP games, we focused on products that have a large audience.

So, meet!

TOP 10 games according to the site

10 FarCryPrimal.

An open-world adventure and action game. Unusual in that its action takes place in the Stone Age. As weapons, clubs, spears and bows can be used, which cannot be bought, but you can make yourself. In addition, it is possible to tame animals and birds that will fight on the side of the hero, or serve as scouts. The game world is very large, it has different climatic zones and many prehistoric animals. Traveling in cold regions, the hero can freeze, and in order to escape, he needs to build a fire or make himself warm clothes. Communication between the characters takes place in a primitive language, which was based on the Proto-Indo-European language reconstructed by linguists. In general, if you want to feel yourself in the shoes of a primitive man who lived about 10 thousand years ago, Far Cry Primal will certainly arouse your interest.

9 Hitman (2016).

The next, sixth part of the stealth action game about a bald killer with the call sign 47. The fan audience of this game is relatively small, but Hitman 2016 entered our TOP-10 because it has become a kind of classic of the genre. The history of the Hitman series has more than 15 years, and during all this time the developer studio IO Interactive has not released a frankly low-quality product. There is reason to believe that the new Himan will be up to par.

8.

The tenth game from the famous Total War strategy series - but in no way a clone of the previous parts. Plenty of ground and air units, combat vehicles, giant monsters and magic - fans of the series will have to discard all their previous tactical experience and look for solutions for Warhammer from scratch. Excellent graphics, interesting gameplay, original tactical model. In general, a high-quality strategy based on the principles of Total War gameplay, but having its own face.

Multiplayer FPS from Blizzard. The game that millions have been waiting for. Colorful and dynamic multiplayer shooter. As your character, you can choose one of the heroes with unique abilities. The game provides several modes, for example, capture all control points or deliver cargo to its destination. The key to success is in a well-coordinated team game, where everyone uses their abilities for the sake of a common result!

It would be unfair to ignore the racing genre in our top 10 games. Moreover, the Gran Turismo series can rightly be considered legendary. It's just a very high quality real racing stimulator - you won't find any street racing or avoiding police chases here. However, this does not make the game worse. You just have to play Gran Turismo 7 to see its worth.

5.X-COM 2

Another strategy in our rating. Here, unlike you will not see massive battles - you will have to manage a small group of fighters. To some extent, the game can be attributed to the tactical genre. According to the plot, the aliens won, most people now live in cities with total surveillance. But there are still free people on the periphery, and the X-COM organization is reborn here again. The gameplay differs little from the first part, but the developers have announced ample opportunities for creating mods.

The release of the new part of the famous military shooter is expected in autumn 2016. So far, there is not a lot of information about the game, and fans of the series can only guess how high-quality the new product will be. It is stated that the game will have 40 models of military equipment, about 100 samples of small arms and 50 maps. It is expected that Battlefield 5 will have very realistic graphics and advanced features for the destruction of objects in the game world.

3.DarkSoulsIII.

The third part of the legendary open world. Much was expected from her, and the developer company FromSoftware managed to take into account the wishes of the fans. Dark Souls III received high critical acclaim worldwide. A gloomy, but at the same time bewitching game world and a tense plot are the undoubted advantages of the game. In general, a powerful game worthy of being in the top three.

2. .

Crowds of enemies, meat, dismemberment - meet the legendary shooter DOOM! In general, there is no need to describe anything special, everyone knows this game. Let's just say that developer id Softworks and publisher Bethesda approached the creation of a new product as seriously as possible, trying to recreate the gloomy atmosphere of the original DOOM. Aggression in the game goes off scale, blood flows like water, the dynamics of the gameplay does not allow you to relax for a second - in general, it is quite a suitable product, worthy of being considered one of the best games of 2016.

1. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - The Mechanical Apartheid.

Without a doubt, one of the most anticipated games of 2016. Why did we put her in first place in our TOP? The game addresses issues that will become relevant in the near future. To some extent it can be considered prophetic. It is known that when creating Deus Ex, the developers consulted with companies involved in cyberprosthetics, so everything that happens in the game has a real basis.

Compared to previous installments, Mankind Divided has improved shooting system, animation and graphics. In general, welcome to the world of the future, where the modification of the human body with the help of cyber systems is a common thing!

Another calendar year has come to an end, enriching the gaming world with dozens of new products. He gave us a lot of fresh projects, sequels, triquels, re-releases and remasters. And although it can not be called the best for the gaming industry, several works are still worth the attention and time. Let's say ten.

Especially for you, we reviewed all the worthy games of the past year and chose ten of the best from them. There is a place on the list , several representatives , as well as many , with which the year ended was especially rich. Well, let's get started.

10th - Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

The hotly anticipated sequel to the adventures of Adam Jensen opens our top 10. The successor to the cult stealth action series, turned out to be an excellent game with a bag of minuses, but no less weighty baggage of pluses.

Being a direct continuation of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, it tells about the events unfolding two years after the end of the previous part.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution was the debut game for Eidos Montreal, who decided to restart the famous series. The original Deus Ex died in 2005, when the studio that created it, Ion Storm, was dissolved. Recall that the developers coped with Human Revolution with a bang, not correcting the memory of the legend.

New graphics, 3rd person gameplay, rpg elements that let you communicate with NPCs along the way and make various decisions, and much more - these are the very components that determined the high value of the game.

Moreover, the plot had several endings that opened depending on your actions. In general, the players warmly welcomed the new stealth action and began to expect a sequel.

And the sequel arrived in time, but only four years later. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided began twenty-three years before the events of Deus Ex and two after Human Revolution, whose ending each player defined for himself in his own way. The developers, alas, did not bother with the choice.

The state of the game world, the variability of which they so praised during the development process, took only one state - the augmented inhabitants began to be persecuted by various organizations, after which a confrontation formed between them.

Adam Jensen, on the other hand, sided with the modified people in order to stop the unrest and identify the terrorists who are escalating the world situation.

This decision discarded all other options that were open to the hero in the ending of Human Revolution. Is it bad? And yes, and no, because in general the plot turned out to be quite good.

What pleased me in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided was the change in gameplay and . In the first case, we got a lot of new tools to fight opponents (Titanium Shield, Tesla module, Nano Blade, and so on), and in the second - a lot of secondary missions, which, interestingly, are not boring at all .

And although the open world here is conditional and simply divided into large locations, it is interesting to explore it. And this was achieved due to the fact that many buildings on the level are open and made specifically for inquisitive players who like to climb into the hidden corners of the map and complete additional tasks.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided came out as a great stealth action game that can be completed with almost no kills. Of course, the plot significantly let us down, which is unprecedented for the Deus Ex series, but otherwise, Eidos Montreal did everything at a decent level. If you are attracted to this, then do not hesitate to take this game.

Video: Live-action trailer for Deus Ex Mankind Divided

9th place - Dark Souls 3

The Dark Souls series by Miyazaki is known to almost every gamer, despite the fact that they played it and, most importantly, passed it - a few. When asked about the most difficult game, the audience mostly says two words - "Dark Souls".

If the first part does not put much sense into them, just knowing that a certain Dark Souls is an incredibly difficult game, then here's another, having felt all the charm of the gloomy series in its own skin, spitting these words with pain and a twitching eye in a nervous tic.

But seriously, Dark Souls 3 deserved the ninth place in our top for more than just beautiful eyes. The series, which began its journey with Demon Souls, has become a phenomenon for the gaming industry - the very perturbation that shook up genres and introduced new standards that others are trying to equal. And the third part is no exception.

Certainly, turned out not without flaws. Fans greeted it worse than the previous one, criticizing weak bosses, repetitive equipment, a small number of locations and, as a result of the latter, a short duration (DS3 is almost twice as short as the second part).

However, what critics cannot argue with is that the game has not lost the atmosphere inherent in the series. Dark landscapes of a fading world, enemies from the worst nightmares, complexity and an element of adventure that haunts you to the very end - this and much more you will find in the magnificent Dark Souls 3. A truly worthwhile action / RPG, rightfully ranked on our top best games of 2016 of the year.

Video: Dark Souls 3 release trailer

8th place - Civilization VI

The long-awaited continuation of one of the most famous , which has millions of fans around the world and hundreds of thousands of regular players. The Civilization series began its journey back in 1991 and continues to delight us to this day with incredibly replayable games that completely dissolve the sense of time.

And for good reason, because only in Civilization you can lead a real-life or once-existing country and go through the history of mankind with it.

You will start from prehistoric times, fighting off barbarian raids with clubs, master hunting, arable farming and other technologies to go to ancient times, learn how to smelt iron and study theology, after which you will enter the Middle Ages, from where you will get out with the help of a compass in Modern times.

In the finale, the newest era awaits you with all its technologies, but the endgame of the whole adventure will be put by the dream of all mankind - flight into space.

Mastering, discovering, fighting and bargaining - this is the essence of the series. Inspired by the Age of Discovery, the developers performed in a new visual style. The graphics have been changed in a more cartoonish way, when compared with the last part.

The main innovation is political institutions presented in the form of cards, as well as areas that will have to be built up separately. Otherwise, it's still the same good old Civilization, in which you can spend hundreds and hundreds of hours.

7th place - Total War: Warhammer

Probably the most controversial candidate for the top best games of 2016 was exactly . However, after weighing all the pros and cons, we decided to place it in the seventh position. And without the global RTS in the list it would be somehow boring, don't you think?

Total War is the most famous series, standing on a par with titans like GTA, Warcraft, Call of Duty and the like. In my time , who created it, founded almost a separate subgenre - a global strategy, on which hundreds of games were later created.

From the outside it may seem that Total War is no different from the usual strategies: you are given a country, a political map and three tools - military and administrative affairs, as well as diplomacy - with which you are trying to conquer the world.

However, only here you can control the troops manually, not limited to two models on top of the map - each soldier from thousands of armies is displayed separately, and not as a picture, but as a living and moving cog supporting a huge mechanism called an army.

Fans of Total War managed to visit different historical periods from the Dark Middle Ages to . But they have never visited an alternative universe - in our case, the Warhammer Fantasy universe, which, in terms of the degree of battles and bloodshed, exceeds our history dozens of times.

Total War: Warhammer does not offer anything super unusual in the gameplay that would distinguish it from other parts of the series, but it gives a completely new setting and style, which radically changed the feel of the game.

Instead of Roman legions and Napoleonic squares, you will lead hordes of ghouls as the lord of vampires, brave armies of dwarves as their king, vile hordes of arachnarok spiders, trolls and giants, ruling the Greenskin race. Similar scale to you won't find it, so don't miss your chance!

6th place - XCOM 2

In 2016, fans of even such an unpopular genre as . XCOM 2 is a full-fledged sequel to the 2012 game XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which in turn was a remake of the 1993 game XCOM: UFO Defense.

At the center of events is the secret organization XCOM, which protects the Earth from an alien threat, the leader of which the player is invited to speak.

In Enemy Unknown, the plot completely copied the original - aliens attacked humanity in order to conquer the planet and enslave all its inhabitants. Depending on your actions, earthlings either died or gained the upper hand, but in in any case, the plot is the same - you start your mission as the losing side.

The aliens have established totalitarian control, and you, having restored the XCOM organization underground, will have to create resistance and recapture the planet.

From the innovations - levels generated from scratch, new types of opponents like a viper, a mobile base - the Avenger ship stolen from aliens, as well as a new class - a ranger who prefers to cut out aliens with a sword. Compared to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the game has prettier graphics and simply grown technically.

Numerous bugs and poor optimization for which XCOM 2 was criticized at launch have long been fixed, so now is the time to try out great tactics.

5th place - Dishonored 2

The story of Corvo and Emily was unfairly overlooked by many gaming reviewers, who did not consider that this couple was worthy of a place in the top. And she really deserved it, if only because we still have the same good old Dishonored 1.

No, do not think, the second part received a lot of innovations and it cannot be called just a major addition to the first part. It's a complete game, featuring a brand new story with multiple branches and multiple endings, and the incredibly varied gameplay that Dishonored is known for.

In what other game will you be allowed to deal with simple guards in a dozen ways? In standard projects, you simply kill guards with firearms or send them to the next world with a sword, and then move on, having already put the past battle out of your head. And only in Dishonored is the essence concentrated just in such battles, each of which can be approached from a creative side.

Freeze time by stopping a bullet right in front of your chest, then possess the shooter and get under fire? Feed opponents to rats? Bind them mentally and physically so that the injury of one would spread to the whole chain? V you create by killing, no matter how cynical it may sound.

Among other things, two characters are now available in the sequel - the protagonist of the last part of Corvo, as well as Emily - the same girl (only already mature) that you saved throughout the entire plot of Dishonored 1.

Otherwise, the game has grown to the same extent that all quality sequels improve, and, believe me, you should not miss this. Gorgeous with a chic entourage, the best combat system and a good storyline.

4th place - DOOM

DOOM 2016 is the reincarnation of the cult shooter straight from 1993, which at one time did not even make a splash, but a real revolution, setting the standards of the genre for ten years to come.

Moreover, it was developed by the same company - id Software, which has the Quake series, and Wolfenstein, and ... However, such big names are counted one in ten, so it's impossible not to respect id Software.

If you have not run to buy , then, probably, you have already passed it a long time ago, or you are waiting for explanations. Well, we advise the first group to go to the second round, and the second - to listen carefully.

First of all, you need to understand that DOOM is not going to coddle you or tell you stories. That is, literally, the game will not offer you a unique gameplay, will not allow you to engage in, for example, construction, will not send you in search of a mysterious artifact.

You should also forget about the legendary plots with good and evil characters, sudden twists and a tearful ending.

DOOM is a healthy guns, hordes of demons who want to release your guts, bloody fatalities with breaking spines and flying heads, hard rock and desert landscapes of abandoned stations and Martian canyons.

It all starts with the fact that you are lying on the operating table in only your underwear, and vile creatures are approaching you from all sides. You kill them, open the door with a torn off hand of a scientist, put on a suit, grab a plasma gun, a saw and ... In general, you will be provided with a hellish drive.

All of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Over the past few years, Call of Duty developers have suffered defeat after defeat, releasing either bad or fairly average projects. And while commercially they always pay off, the love of the fans, expressed in ratings and reviews, falls annually. However, COD 2016 in some century turned out to be a good game.

The new part did not receive any global innovations. She uses the same engine, which, surprisingly, still manages to produce a decent picture.

The gameplay, for the most part, remained in 2004, except for a lot of improvements and modifications that fill the gameplay every new year.

Deciding to spend time in , you will go through a fairly good storyline, fly on spaceships, in a special multiplayer mode and see the villainous variation of Jon Snow. Worth a look for those who love shooters.

Titanfall 2

Another interesting shooter was released in 2016, which, alas, faced fatal obstacles. Recall that the developers of the first and, accordingly, the second parts are people from Infinity Ward - the very masters of the genre who gave us Modern Warfare 1 and 2.

It would seem that such craftsmen should have released an excellent shooter that would have collected a lot of awards and scattered in millions of copies. And they, imagine, they released it, but somehow it didn’t work out with millions of copies.

The reason for this was marketing, which developers completely forgot about. turned out to be a great shooter that has all the ingredients for success: great gameplay, single player campaign, dynamic multiplayer and modern graphics.

But despite this, the game was missed by the bulk of gamers, as the meager news about it simply drowned in the confrontation between Call of Duty and Battlefield. If you love shooters, but you are bored with the irreplaceable mastodons of the genre, it's time to turn to Titanfall 2.

Forza Horizon 3

Forza is a fairly popular series that has an excellent reputation, which is supported by quality projects. The third part, like all the previous ones, is made exactly of the highest quality, and there is no better description here.

In it you will find an impressive fleet of more than a hundred cars, incredibly beautiful graphics with stunning landscapes of Australia, several exciting modes, as well as interestingly implemented multiplayer. With all this, the series in some century reached personal computers - previously it was released only on the console.

So if you really love racing or just want to chill out on the Australian coast in an Italian masterpiece - would be the best candidate. One of the best races this year.

The Last Guardian

A long-term game that fans have been waiting for for nine years. Given the atmosphere created around The Last Guardian only at the stage of its development, we could not help mentioning it in our article.

The protagonist of The Last Guardian is an unknown boy who got lost in the ruins of a giant castle. Trying to get out, he stumbles upon a huge griffin-like creature named Trico - the second main character who will help the child in his adventure.

The gameplay, however, is full of action-adventure elements and takes place from a 3rd person perspective in a 3D world. Landmark - games Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

The Last Guardian, which closed 2016, turned out to be a truly unique and interesting game. It takes not a plot or a loud ending - it stands out for its good atmosphere and the interaction of such seemingly incompatible creatures - a little man and a formidable beast.
