It also beat Doom, Titanfall 2 and Inside as well... I haven't played Overwatch admittedly but Titanfall 2 and Doom were amazing. |
Honestly I never played Doom or Inside, neither seemed like my type of game so I skipped them both. As for Titanfall 2, the campaign was indeed great, but the multiplayer was widely regarded as worse than Titanfall 1, which is ultimately why Titanfall 2 flopped and we never got Titanfall 3 and got stuck with Apex Legends being their main product instead. I do think that Overwatch 1's multiplayer was better than Titanfall 2's MP, better by quite alot, there is a reason why I put like 500 hours into Overwatch 1 between PC, Xbox One, and PS4, and only like 30 hours into Titanfall 2 MP (which is alot less hours than I put into Titanfall 1).
Overall I do think 2016 was a weak year for gaming, especially for my gaming tastes. Many of the games that I did play just weren't as good as I wanted them to be. Uncharted 4 was the 2nd weakest game in the series imo. We had Dishonored 2 and Deus Ex Mankind Divided both coming in weaker than their predecessors (their predecessors both got about a 90 on metacritic, while Dishonored 2 got like 87 and Mankind Divided got like 83). FF15 was a bit of a hot mess, with a butchered storyline, mediocre action combat, poor open world design, and lack of playable party members (some of the issues were later partially fixed with DLC, but it was just not the game that Nomura originally intended it to be as FF Versus 13). CoD Infinite Warfare had a good campaign, much like Titanfall 2, but it's MP was ass. I personally enjoyed Quantum Break, but critics just didn't like the flow of gameplay to tv show episode, that game was never going to review well being half tv show. 2016 was just a weak year for video games, and it felt especially weak as a follow-up year to 2015, which had amazing games like Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Ori and the Blind Forest, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Assassin's Creed Syndicate.
