There were so many fantastic games this year that it was so difficult to just pick 5. I really had to do a process of elimination here and I still wish I could add more. These 5 represented the best of the best across multiple platforms and delivered fantastic experiences.

Overwatch

This was a tough decision but Overwatch delivered one of the best multiplayer experiences in recent years and it was available to all gamers. Yes, it didn’t have a single-player experience like Dishonored 2 and Battlefield 1, but man is this FPS multiplayer perfected. With iconic characters, excellent balancing, charming visuals, and fantastic gunplay, Overwatch is the best team-based shooter since Team Fortress 2.
