Coint & Plick X: The 50(ish) best games of 2016

my ballot is all ps4 except for rimworld (mac) and imbroglio (iOS)

i didn't vote bc i didn't play that many new games. Dark Souls 3 and DOOM and No Man's Sky, that's it. i was looking forward to playing FFXV but they STILL haven't issued a PC release date.

Yeah I feel bad that I got two games to #16 just because I didn't play a lot of games last year. I promise that I'll play more this year, not just WoW.

*realises with horror that he's playing WoW while posting this*

I voted for all three games I played a ton last year:

Skyrim
Steep
No Man's Land

i checked out the Rusty Lake games because of this thread, and played through all of them over the last week. so good! really clever and creepy. and i only cheated a couple times, i swear.

i did not, however, get through the final time-challenge sequence of (whichever one)

RL: Roots was even moving, if that edward gorey/wes anderson type of thing does it for you

Aw great, I'm glad of that - yeah all of the free games that Rusty Lake made before those two are also good, but Roots is the best.

I have got into Inside this week. So many gruesome ways for the poor child to get killed! I like it's sense of mystery and total lack of daft voice-overs so far.

I hate the dogs in Inside, they terrify me.

The bastards are so fast, there is that bit where you can scare them off with fire - but then they start coming at you from both sides.

I love the Abe's Oddysee style mind control puzzles as well.

The worst dog part is where you've got to climb a fence, pull boards off a doorway and then run back to the fence before the dogs get you, and then do it twice more. I was a nervous wreck after doing that one.

fyi there's an extra lil puzzle in rusty lake: cave. when you're in the sub, go to some familiar landmarks! p cool.

Shoulda participated in this, feel like I played more games this year than I typically do. Wouldn't have added too much that was novel though, DOOM and Dark Souls were my go-to's.
