The best games of 2016 and those that aspire to overcome them in 2017


2016 has come to an end and we have already embraced 2017 with the idea of ​​the “more and better” recorded on fire in the head.With that mentality we go to review the best that the videogame world has given over the past year, but also the most powerful thing to come in the coming months.


Thus, our top 10 of the best video games 2016 is just the prelude to a list with 10 other games that will reach our hands throughout 2017 .The perfect way to collect titles that may have escaped you during this year and will serve as an appetizer with which to endure until the next bombings arrive.

The best of 2016


Inside


It was one of the most important independent games of the year and, after a long wait of six years, the creators of Limbo have once again amazed us with a 3D platform in which their dark and sinister story is told through our successes and failures.


The Witness


Imagine creating a puzzle infinite, one in which pieces are gradually added to make the puzzle grow even more complicated, it would be like creating one's own language, and that is precisely what the creator of Braid achieves with his new video game.


Dishonored 2



They say that all shooters are the same, that first-person games seem all taken from the same factory, but games like this show us that there is still much room for improvement for the genre and that only based on great ideas and a better execution will be possible to advance.The mixture of stealth, action and great scenarios of this title well deserves to give that method a chance.


Paper Mario: Color Splash


When Nintendo He puts the batteries can end up delivering wonderful games, and this Paper Mario: Color Splash is undoubtedly one of them.A role-playing game full of color and great ideas in combat that, in addition, has a very long and fun story, so it’s one of those purchases that pays for itself.


The Last Guardian


After an eternity waiting for it , The Last Guardian is already a reality and, not content to just appear on our screens, he also wanted to mark us in a special way.He does it by getting the best recreation of an animal we have ever seen, no just for his animations and artificial intelligence, also for his ability to make us fall in love with him.


Civilization VI


It is certainly one of the kings of the current strategy and he has achieved it on his own merits.We may all have our favorite installment of this saga, but that does not mean that any game in the latter is a well of hours in which we see how the hours fall out of control.


Uncharted 4


It's the Star action game of the previous generation and, if another rival does not prevent it, also promises to be this one.The closing of its story is another example of the good work of Naughty Dog in this of creating games and, based on nostalgia, new mechanics and a superb history, the adventures of this particular Indiana Jones remain essential.


Firewatch


When someone returns you to say that all games are the same, remember to mention the story of Firewatch.Never a Adventure knew so much with so little, moving to a forest to watch fires and, however, getting us to care more about what we are burned inside than everything else.


Doom


It is very difficult to get a game of more than twenty years and not notice that something smells stale.It is not that the first Doom enters that list, but the nostalgia factor has long since ceased to be something groundbreaking and, with updates like this new version, it is demonstrated that mechanics that we believed already expired may have a new youth.


Titanfall 2


The multiplayer of the The first installment already amazed most of us, so now it was time to check if its creators could achieve that impact with a good bell .Said and done, here is a Bible on how to constantly introduce novelties in the gameplay and that, even with all that mejunje, the sauce is perfect.


The best of 2017


For Honor


Fights between great figures of the war with an innovative, deep and complicated control system that, in addition, allows us to test ourselves against other players through internet .Their test phases have more than proven to be one of the games to follow closely.


Ghost Recon Wildlands


When it seemed that Open world games had stopped making sense, the addition of the online multiplayer gave them a twist to rejuvenate them.If the Ubisoft cooperative adventure looks as good as its videos show, we could face a I play tremendously.


Halo Wars 2


We have long since left to hope to find a game of drinking strategy on consoles, but if the first Halo Wars managed to fix that problem, the second promises to go one step further.Never a game of the adventures of the Master Chief had aroused so much interest among those who deny of the shooters.


Horizon Zero Dawn


Other Open world , this time by Sony, which brings together the two things we might like most: dinosaurs and futuristic weapons.It can be said that dinosaurs are robots and weapons are more similar to those of the stone age than that of a space marine, but the order of the factors does not alter the product and this points to "console sales".


Nier: Automata


Platinum Games has demonstrated on a few occasions that they dominate the genre of the hack'n slash in a masterly way, so in the absence of a continuation of Bayonetta that it could never arrive, this second installment de Nier looks like the perfect mix of Japanese follies and popcorn action we were waiting for.


Person 5


If this year we have had ration of Final Fantasy, in 2017 the success of Japanese origin that will win our hearts will be Persona 5, a saga quite battered in its leap to the West but no less attractive.Its visual style, history and mix between anime and Japanese custom promises fall in love from your home screen.


Red Dead Redemption 2


The first is that game that we all have in mind when we talk about how the world of video games has evolved by leaps and bounds, so it would be crazy not to have an insane desire to put ourselves at the helm of this new wild west adventure from an optician GTA .


Resident Evil 7


Some gave to the saga for dead, but with Resident Evil 7 they want to show us that that not only will not happen, they can also return to the top.We change the perspective and the way of playing, but it is still a Biohazard and it will put us all hairs like scarps.


Sea of ​​Thieves


We don't usually meet many games that embrace the idea of ​​being pirates and that happens for obvious reasons.You need many treasures, ship battles, islands in which to socialize with other groups of outlaws...Precisely everything that promises this Sea of ​​Thieves that wants to take the Multiplayer to a new level.


The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild


2017 is the year in which Nintendo renewed consoles, so it is impossible not to embrace the arrival of a new The Legend of Zelda with all the force possible.It is the first time that the franchise approaches the idea of ​​the open world , so there are high expectations placed in the game with which we will probably release Nintendo Switch.
