Games of the Year 2016 (per the media)

Not that it's ultimately important, but I wanted to do an overall look at how many awards various games took, as an interesting look at the most acclaimed games of the year and the trends that they follow. So here's a tally, without naming each publication because that's pretty irrelevant too (although maybe less so with exclusives). Anyway: Titanfall 2: 1 Hitman: 1 Dark Souls III: 1 Doom: 1 The Witness: 1 The Last Guardian: 2 Inside: 2 Uncharted 4: 7 Overwatch: 8 Interesting to note that only one game receiving multiple awards was a sequel. To better classify: Shooters: 3 Puzzle-adventures: 3 Action: 2 RPG: 1 On a personal note, I agree that Overwatch was the tops, with Uncharted 4 a little behind, and Inside, Doom, The Witness, and even TF2 being quality titles. Not as sure about The Last Guardian, given all the technical issues, control problems, and pacing, but hey. Thoughts? Keep in mind, not every establishment has awarded their yet, notably the British Academy of Film and TV. The BAFTAs are on 12/2.

    I like Overwatch better when it came out 10 years ago and had capture the flag. Props to Blizzard for taking a cancelled MMORPG and making bank with a Team Fortress clone though.
