Not voting. Didn't see "Meteoric Fall" as an option.

All I see is one user screaming incoherently about how popular stuff is cringe worthy, but his choices are awesome.

Hm... Steam Awards.

This is going to take some thinking. This years been crap for games.

You must be joking, it was pretty much the best year in the last decade


Best Total War game so far

Great Doom successor

Xcom 2 madafaka! Which was absolutely great

Overwatch - the hero shooter genre successor

Best battlefield so far


Plenty non AAA games


I just hope not every year has this much to offer or we're gonna get spoilt

Keep in mind the following are personal opinions, and I accept many of them aren't the main stream. But voting based on mainstream and not personal opinion would be weird, I think.

Total War - Warhammer's pre-order ******** prevented me from purchasing it.

DOOM 2016 was so mind numbingly boring that it was the first game I ever utilized Steam refunds for. Spent the first two hours just walking backwards and spraying enemies with bullets with no engagement, and that's when I wasn't just sniping between arena trash with the pistol. I got more enjoyment out of replaying Bulletstorm (Picked them both up on a Steam sale). Most disappointing game since Fallout 4. Which isn't to say it was as disappointing as Fallout 4.

Because Fallout 4 was disappointing as hell.

Honestly, I didn't even really care for X-COM 1. It falls into a weird strategy category where units are enough of an investment that you care about them, but die so easily and randomly that you really shouldn't. Everyone told me X-Com 2 was more of the same but with more bugs and a move timer, so I didn't get it.

**** move timers.

I fully understand that Overwatch probably is a good game, I found it too busy. It's not readily apparent when you first start what the hell is going on, it's hard to distinguish what characters are doing at a glance when you first start, and I spent my first, and only, match dying over and over and over and over again. Easily 15+ deaths. And I could only identify two causes - A special from a character I only know of now because of Youtube, and blowing myself up as Tracer.

I believe it's a good game. I can see it. But I have zero wish to spend the hours necessary to learn it.

And then there was Dark Souls 3, who's only saving grace is that, after being compared to Bloodborne by some friends, I now no longer care about getting a PS4.

And of course, No Man's Sky, which was exactly what I anticipated it would be when I heard about it (But somehow it caught everyone else off guard), Mighty No. 9 crapped itself upon coming out of the gate, and Star Fox Zero's controls made it borderline unplayable.

2016 has been an absolute **** show for me. Besides a few indie released, Pokemon Sun has been the only new game that's been worth a damn.

Well everyone has an opinion, you explained yours well, I can respect that


Hehe, yes XCOM is a masochistic experience, you put in effort in creating each soldier, customizing them, building the with various skills and gear (it's like having 6 mechs you customize and bring to battle all at once) and when they die - they're dead so the stakes ar high EVERY time

There is less randomness than it appears, there was a guy on youtube who managed to complete the game on Legendary Ironman (no save games, only continuing where you left of) without losing a single soldier, I have no idea how he achieved that, but it's doable, so if you're chess grandmaster level strategist - you can do it
