Monster Hunter has essentially been tinkering with the same basic formula for over a decade, and Generations makes for the smartest iteration yet.
Sure, more new songs would have been nice, but it's still pretty cool to have this ideal version of Rhythm Heaven on my 3DS at all times. Megamix presents the Rhythm Heaven you know and love, all while eliminating the unnecessary tedium and frustration that made the previous entries less whimsical and welcoming than they aspired to be. Plenty of folks probably missed its digital-only 3DS release, but Rhythm Heaven Megamix amounts to the best take on the series to date. Bloodborne kinda spoiled me with its more interesting world and Lovecraftian overtones, but Dark Souls III is still Dark Souls. This one may not be my favorite of the series, but it brings a lot of new stuff to the table, and looks absolutely gorgeous after finally breaking free from the restraints of last-gen hardware. (And I may even start a new game in 2017.)ĭark Souls has lost a tiny bit of its luster since it bowled us over way back in 2011, but III isn't a huge step down for From Software-especially when you consider they've been working on massive RPGs back-to-back for nearly a decade. Granted, it did let me lose a vital key and essentially made 20 hours of play pointless, but the scars have healed over the past few months and I'm now able to look back on my time with DQB fondly. Thankfully, its attempts to fit the anything-goes world of Minecraft into the rewarding restrictions of Japanese game design resulted in a highly addictive and worthwhile experience. On the surface, Dragon Quest Builders looks like the most cynical video game concept on earth. That said, I'm happy to present my favorite 10 games of this year, listed in an extremely loose least-good-to-most-good order that's tainted with my personal biases. If anything, this list exists to remind me how I chose to spend 1000-or-so hours of free time in the waking nightmare we called 2016. Now, since I've already blurbed about plenty of these for my job at Fandom, I'm going to keep my write-ups somewhat short. (The other lists have been lost to time and 1UP's utter disappearance, but you can check out 2014's here and 2015's here.) I've been cataloging my favorite games of the year on this very Internet since around 2008 or so, and, because Tumblr isn't the best place for text-heavy posts, I figured the Retronauts blog would make a good home for 2016's list.
