And its rich, all-encompassing MyGM mode covers every aspect of managing an NBA side while never losing the fun factor. Matches in NBA 2K17 don't merely feel like authentic basketball, they look and sound like it too with astonishingly realistic player likenesses and insightful, just-like-on-ESPN broadcast presentation. The others are great, but still playing catch-up. But 2K nudges ahead of MLB 16 The Show, Madden 17 and NHL 17 because it's an established, class-leading veteran in terms of both on-court quality and off-court depth.
#Best games of 2016 that are released series#
While Brits clamour for even a half-decent rugby game, and the cricketing world waits for the burgeoning Don Bradman series to fulfil its abundant potentia, all four of the big US sports - basketball, baseball, gridiron and hockey - find themselves represented to an elite level in virtual form. North American sports gamers have never had it so good.
Eventually, you become so attuned with the game, so in sync with its crushing difficulty, that the rest of the world begins to melt away, leaving only you, your quickening heartbeat, and Thumper. Thumper’s convergence of sight, sound, and interactivity creates a uniquely oppressive atmosphere, weighing down on your chest in a way that even some of the best horror games can't achieve.
As a silver space beetle racing down a track to do battle with a demonic hovering face, you'll tap buttons and move analog sticks along with its proggy, percussive soundtrack in order to overcome numerous obstacles at an increasingly rapid pace. But if you let one of its spindly tentacles ensnare you, there's no saving you - you're hopelessly caught up in one of the greatest rhythm games ever made. And Thumper's demands of your attention and reflexes are incredibly exhausting in a way few games can manage. Its minimalist, psychedelic aesthetic is alienating, cold, and disarming. Its tunes don't exactly conform to the pleasurable formula of what humans typically consider music. No matter how you slice it, 2016 is going to be pretty exciting, so strap in and get ready.Thumper isn't for everyone. Then there are the games that we haven’t heard from in a while, and seem like they may slip to 2017, such as the new Legend of Zelda, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and Crackdown 3.īy the way, this is all in year that could see the emergence of VR, and all the possibilities opened up by that new platform, as well as a year we may finally get to learn what Nintendo has up their sleeve with the NX. There are also games we just don’t know enough about yet to include here, such as Horizon: Zero Dawn or Destiny Year 3. Games like DOOM, Far Cry Primal, Quantum Break, Fire Emblem Fates, Hitman, and Gears of War 4 could easily make this list in any other year. Therefore, you may notice some notable exclusions. The list of games was so extensive, I really had trouble getting it down to just ten. 2016 is shaping up to be an amazing year as this generation of consoles hits their stride, and we see the return of some of our favorite franchises as well as a few newcomers seeking to make their mark on the gaming world.
With all of the huge game releases in 2015, you might be safe in assuming 2016 will see a bit of a slump, with fewer major titles to look forward to. A year where we crafted levels for Mario and Settlements in the Commonwealth. It was the year of a Taken King and a Bloody Baron, the year of the Big Boss and the Master Chief.
