Before writing out my answer for this piece I had to look up a solid list of games that came out this year, all because somebody told me that both Superhot and Hitman (2016) released this year and I honestly, for a moment, doubted them. If not least due to the various political developments, and stacks of unfortunate celebrity deaths. Oh – goodness! It’s been a long ol’ year. Most of us failed to stick to a paragraph. So what we’ve decided to do, is to give everyone on the team a chance to write a paragraph about one game they personally enjoyed this year. However we, as a team decided it was probably a good idea if we wrote a “Game of the Year” post, but when the question was put forward to the team, we realised that everyone had their own personal favourite GOTY, meaning the original plan to just say, “Big Boss Battle’s Game of 2016 is…” was scrapped. Excitement echoed the hills with the anticipation of 2017 being just round the corner with all of the games announced this year, being released next year. 2016 has been a bit of an eventful year really, and as the year comes out from its final month, there have been a lot of gaming announcements.
