The best games for PC. Best games
Of course, the 20 titles listed above are not all of what we can recommend to you that were published in 2016. Enough free time? Then pay attention to:
- World of Final Fantasy: Fans of classic Final Fantasy loved this JRPG even more than the serialized Final Fantasy XV. Available for PS4 and PS Vita.
- Quantum Break: Remedy did not betray itself by releasing a decent story-driven adventure.
- Ratchet & Clank: Reinventing a popular franchise in the world of modern technology. Is Ratchet the PlayStation 4 mascot? Hardly. But fans of the series are delighted.
- Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare: An excellent action movie for your friends. Judging by sales, there are millions of them. Expensive, beautiful, not without Hollywood stars of the first magnitude.
- FIFA 17: The story mode suits sports games. We've known about this since Fight Night Champion. Now we will be told stories about the football world.
- The Witness: A puzzle game from Jonathan Blow and that seems to say it all.
- World of Warcraft: Legion: The infinite universe of World of Warcraft seems truly immortal.
- Total War: Warhammer: Total War mechanics in the world of fantasy Warhammer. Worthy.
- Shadow Warrior 2: This is how we would like to see the new Duke Nukem.
- ABZU: A picturesque journey into the underwater world. Journey could have become a “marine” one, but it was a little lacking in vision.
- Stardew Valley: A wonderful farmer simulator in the best traditions of Harvest Moon.
- Street Fighter V: There weren't enough fighting games in 2016. The fifth part of the legendary series is not at all what we expected, but the combat mechanics are excellent.
We hope that over the past New Year holidays you managed to play all the best games of 2015, which. Because already in the second half of January, interesting projects for the new year 2016 begin to appear.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles India / Russia
Release date: January 12 / February 9, 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One
It looks like there won't be a big game in the Assassin's Creed series in 2016, but the second and third parts 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” is in a bright, summer style filled with the colors of an oriental bazaar, and “Russia” is in strict, winter, poster graphics of the 20s of the 20th century. Both projects are contenders for the “Editor's Choice 2016” prize in the “Style” category.
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak
Release date: January 20, 2016
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, of which there have been disappointingly few releases in recent years. The game is being developed by Blackbird Interactive, which includes former employees of EA and the bankrupt Relic Entertainment. The project looks unusually stylish, and we will find out how it plays in a couple of weeks.
The Witness
Release date: January 26, 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, iOS
The Witness is a breathtakingly beautiful open-world indie adventure from the author of the legendary Braid. The game world, which we will explore from a first-person perspective, contains about 650 puzzles. The development of The Witness has been going on for 7 years, we really hope that the project will not disappoint us. The game will be released on January 26 on PlayStation 4 and PC, and later this year on iOS.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
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 received good reviews from the press and gamers. The project will be released on PC in January, and on PlayStation 4 at the end of 2016. Let's hope that the new adventures of the tomb raider will sell in large numbers.
American Truck Simulator
Release date: February 3, 2016
Heavy-duty tractor simulators from Czech SCS Software are returning to America. The series began 14 years ago with the American Hard Truck: 18 Wheels of Steel, which was officially considered the third part of Hard Truck from Softlab NSK, and now, after 14 games, including the super successful one, we are again waiting for the work of a truck driver in the USA. As in the case of Europe, SCS Software will begin the conquest of America from a small area - California, which, however, will contain about 100 cities. And the company plans to cover the entire US territory in the future. So expect a series of DLCs.
XCOM 2
Release date: February 5, 2016
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, Linux
The new XCOM will give all fans of tactical strategies the opportunity to take part in guerrilla warfare against aliens. 20 years have passed since the government of Earth surrendered, the planet is ruled by aliens, but on the edge of the world there remains a group of dissatisfied people who are ready to challenge the power of aliens. The authors promise us an updated tactical mode with more freedom of action, new types of enemies, a new mobile base, unique missions, etc. We'll check in a month.
Firewatch
Release date: February 5, 2016
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, Linux, PlayStation 4
Firewatch is an amazingly beautiful mystical action/adventure with elements of a survival simulator, set in the endless forests of Wyoming. The authors have assembled a real Dream Team of people who worked on such masterpieces as The Cave, Brutal Legend, The Walking Dead: Season 1, Gone Home, Ori & The Blind Forest, Mark of the Ninja, Bioshock II and Costume Quest 2. This, as well as the unusual way of presenting the story in the conversations of the protagonist with the dispatcher on the radio, plus strong visuals attract 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 painful death. However, our hero knows how to tame wild animals, which, it seems, will play an important role in the gameplay of the prehistoric Far Cry. The game will appear on PC 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 a post-apocalyptic action/adventure game 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 different the project’s graphics are from those that were shown in the very first video of 2013. And of course, the main question is how different the gameplay of The Division will be from the gameplay of other Ubisoft 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 a 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 reboot, but a new beginning for Agent 47. In addition, the developers promise levels 6-7 times larger than in , up to 300 non-player characters in each mission, plus the ability to save at any time . Some will call the last point a betrayal of the ideals of Hitman, but we will wait for the game to come out and then draw conclusions.
DOOM
Release date: spring 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Another game that returns to a simple title. The fourth part of DOOM is simply called DOOM, and id Software, which is developing it, no longer has anyone who worked on the first game in the series. DOOM without Carmacks, Romero, Hall, Hollenshead... that's even interesting. 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 rework. As a result, now we are promised an old-school shooter without shelters and health regeneration, with blood, meat and hurricane shooting. Well, MachineGames did it, let’s see what the new id Software comes up with.
Homefront: The Revolution
Release date: spring 2016
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
The Homefront sequel also had a hard time reaching players. The studio that created the first part of the shooter was closed, and 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 included the project developers. The new Homefront: The Revolution is no longer a mission shooter, but a game with an open world, a lot 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 mentioned dates.
Ratchet and Clank
Release date: April 12, 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. The 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: April 26, 2016
Platforms: PlayStation 4
Several key staff members left Naughty Dog during the development of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, but neither this nor Santa Barbara with Drake's older brother appearing out of nowhere can undermine our faith that the final part of Uncharted will become 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 on fantasy worlds. Total War: Warhammer is a real gift for fans of global strategies, tactical battles and the Warhammer universe. But how Creative Assembly will be able to combine magic, technology, giant creatures and flying units within one battlefield remains a big mystery. Campaigns for humans, gnomes, orcs and vampires are promised. In addition to the original game, two large additions are planned that will make up the Warhammer Total War trilogy.
Mirror's Edge Catalyst
Release date: May 26, 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Mirror's Edge Catalyst is not the second part of the legendary first-person parkour by EA DICE. The new game is a rethinking of the original project, only now we have an open, seamless world, greater freedom of movement, new techniques and a lot of new tasks. By the way, Faith can no longer use firearms, but she has mastered additional hand-to-hand combat techniques. The game uses the Frostbite 3.5 engine and looks truly amazing.
Overwatch
Release date: no later than June 21, 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
We have already talked about the beta version of Blizzard's multiplayer shooter. The game left the most pleasant impressions and we, frankly, cannot wait for the release, which will take place “no later than June 21, 2016.” 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 Hello Games' ambitious project would be released back 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 starting a new game, from star clusters to every blade of grass on every planet. Are you ready for the biggest trip of your life?
We Happy Few
Release date: June 2016
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Xbox One
The new game by Compulsion Games, the authors of the original platformer, which at one time became one of the launch projects of the PlayStation 4, is a survival simulator in a world of total happiness. If the forcedly happy residents of the small English town of Willington Wells suspect that you are not enjoying life enough, polite police will quickly inject into you the missing dose of happiness. It sounds very unusual, but We Happy Few looks even more original. The game world is an exaggerated retrofuturism with a touch of dystopia in the style of the 60s.
Dishonored 2
Release date: 2nd quarter 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
The events of the stealth/action sequel take place 15 years after the events of the original game. Empress Emilia Caldwin, the same girl princess Emilie whom Corvo saved in the previous part, suddenly finds herself dethroned by a mysterious usurper. You will have to return the throne to its owner, either as the empress herself, or as her bodyguard, and possibly her father, Corvo. Characters will have different abilities and different paths to complete missions. Plus, the authors promise that Dishonored 2 will be more difficult than the first part.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Release date: August 23, 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a direct sequel. The sequel takes place two years after the events of the original game, and under our control will be the same Adam Jensen, albeit improved and updated. After Adam's decision at the end of the first game, natural people began to stalk and attack people with cyber implants around the world. Jensen will have to decide which side to take in this war.
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Release date: 4th quarter 2016
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Annoyingly little is known about the Mass Effect sequel, which could become the first part of a new trilogy. The game takes place many years after ME3, and in a different galaxy. The Mako all-terrain vehicle, so beloved by many, will be returned to us. The game will have multiplayer. The Frostbite 3.5 engine is responsible for the visual part of Mass Effect: Andromeda. You can fantasize about the rest, although the trailer looks very promising.
Mafia III
Release date: 4th quarter 2016
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
The events of Mafia III take place in 1968 in New Orleans. New city, new hero, old rules.

By the way, we have to meet Vito Scaletta, the hero of Mafia II.

Horizon: Zero Dawn
Release date: 2016
Platforms: PlayStation 4
Guerrilla Games' first serious attempt to make a "non-Killzone" game 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 machines to deadly animals. The developers promise an open world, devoid of loading screens, dynamic changes in time of day and weather conditions, as well as the 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 last nine years with varying success and will either return Team Ico to its former glory or completely bury the once great studio.

Opens the ranking of the best PC games of 2016 Far Cry Primal. The game takes place 10 thousand years BC. e. in a fictional area called Urus.

The only weapons available are a bow, a spear and a couple of types of clubs that can be thrown at opponents. In addition, it is possible to tame various animals that can be of great help in battle. The plot of the game is quite good, the gamer will have to found and protect his own village, simultaneously rescuing minor characters, with the help of whom you can learn new skills.

Arkane Studios has proven more than once that they can make masterpieces; the Dishonored series is proof of this. This is one of the most popular games of 2016 on PC, which is distinguished by a beautifully designed world and a lot of variability. Each level can be completed in two or three ways, and this is not the limit. If you add to this a well-thought-out combat system, stealth elements, as well as magic, the result is a very high-quality game in which dozens of hours are lost.
8. Doom
Doom is an extremely fast-paced first-person shooter released in 2016. This game managed not only to preserve all the features of the original, but also to introduce new ones, such as melee combat, finishing moves and jumping. The gamer’s enemies will be demons, which have acquired high-quality textures and begin to look naturally creepy. Each type of enemy requires a specific approach, while they have a variety of weapons and will try to overwhelm the player with numbers. The plot is a kind of reworking of the first part. Scientists reopened the gates of Hell and began to extract energy from there, without paying due attention to the dangers of the demonic world and its inhabitants. As a result, a certain scientist went crazy and went over to the side of the demons, opening portals throughout the base. The player will need to deal with all this and expel the enemies to their dimension. In addition, in Doom, attentive gamers will be able to find a whole bunch of different Easter eggs, the most famous of which are levels from the first part of the game.
Hitman 6 allows players to put themselves in the shoes of the assassin Agent 47. This is a solid stealth action game where levels can be completed in different ways, but they always have one condition - the target must be dead. It doesn’t matter how 47 does it, you can set up an “accident”, or, imagining yourself as a Terminator, arrange a shootout with the guards. However, the hero is not particularly durable, so this must be done with caution. The plot is divided into episodes, where the gamer is told small pieces of the overall story. You will have to kill mainly various terrorists and war criminals, as well as bandits. Pleasing graphics, atmospheric music and varied gameplay make Hitman a very good stealth shooter and one of the best games of 2016.
Despite the not-so-successful start, Mafia III quickly regained its popularity among players. As in previous games in the series, the main emphasis here is on completing story missions. The main character, Lincoln Clay, will have to subjugate the city of New Bordeaux, knocking out hostile mafia groups from there. To do this, the player will have to liberate territories, organize raids, etc. At the same time, he will be able to acquire lieutenants - leaders of allied groups who are always ready to help with suppressive fire or the supply of ammunition. Interestingly, one of these groups is led by Vito Scaletta himself, the protagonist of the previous game. The game also has several endings, and the gamer can choose them himself - to do this, you need to give the captured territories to the desired group, this way you will get one of the endings. Overall, Mafia III turned out great, although it no longer has “that same atmosphere” of the first parts.
Civilization VI is the best strategy of 2016. In this game, the gamer must choose his nation, which he will lead to greatness from ancient times to modern times. The sixth part of the legendary series not only absorbed all the best features of previous projects, but also added several new mechanics. The most original solution was the division of cities into districts that give it different bonuses, depending on the cell on which they are installed. Unfortunately, you cannot capture individual areas and keep them under your control; you can only conquer the center. This mechanic radically changed the balance of city building and created many new tactics. In addition, the interface and graphics have been seriously improved. Critics gave the project a good rating, as did the players.
4. Forza Horizon 3
Forza Horizon 3 is an open-world arcade driving game. The developers from Playground Games took Australia as the basis for the map. Compared to previous games in the series, in this part the world has been doubled in size, so it will take much longer to explore. The player will have access to a huge number of cars and various tracks where they can be tested for strength. Critics have left a lot of positive reviews for a game of this genre - the average score on Metacritics is 92%, which is a pretty high bar. Considering all its merits, Forza Horizon 3 can easily be given the title of “best racing game of 2016.”
Initially, it came as a surprise to everyone that the developers of Battlefield 1 decided to change the setting and instead of modern wars, plunge into the past. Now the game takes place during the First World War. The trench phase is already over, the time has come for large-scale offensives using the first tanks and cavalry. The gameplay has changed quite a lot. Compared to previous installments, some classes have been redesigned to make them more period-appropriate. In addition to online battles, the developers have implemented an excellent single-player campaign that tells in detail about the people and events of those years. A good balance of weapons, music, as well as large-scale battles and a huge number of players around the world made Battlefiled 1 one of the best PC games of 2016 in the first-person shooter genre.
Dark Souls III is formally a continuation of the second part, but players managed to find many plot references to the first part of the series. Since the release, gaming publications have noted the higher complexity and darkness of the world. Now each monster is truly dangerous for the player, thanks to the special lightning-fast combos it has, while the damage it deals is also prohibitively high. However, despite the strengthening of ordinary opponents, the bosses in general turned out to be weaker, although among them there are several instances, in order to defeat which the gamer will have to memorize all their animations and sequences of attacks. The plot of the game is presented through hints from various NPCs and descriptions of objects, which has given rise to many different theories about the events taking place. Powerful combat, strong opponents, an atmosphere of gradual decline and death, etc. - that's what makes this game one of the best in 2016.
1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The first place in the top 10 best PC games of 2016 is deservedly taken by the RPG “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt”. The strongest point of this game was the storyline. It tells how Geralt of Rivia tried to find Ciri, the daughter of Emperor Emhyr. Interestingly, the developers tried to make the world as interactive as possible, so all the gamer’s decisions will have consequences and affect the ending. The combat mechanics have also improved; the Witcher is now able to simultaneously fight five enemies. In addition, the built-in CCG game “Gwent” is worthy of special mention. At locations, the player will often be able to find cards that can be added to their deck. The resulting deck is used against the AI deck. In fact, when purchasing The Witcher 3, the buyer receives two separate games at once. Also, the developers did not ignore the graphics. Shadows, grass, everything looks almost real. The quests, even the side ones, are made unique, without the banal “give, fetch, and then kill 10 rats.” This creates a wonderful atmosphere of a kind of fantasy Middle Ages, where there are no good and bad, there are just people. Nowadays it’s difficult to find similar games on the market, so CD Projekt RED were simply doomed to success.
In this top 10 best computer games of 2016, I will tell you about ten exciting computer games of 2016.
10 Forza Horizon 3
