2016 was a great year - the best in a long time. My favourite release was Dark Souls III, which is also my favourite Soulslike to-date.
Runner-up for me is Mirror's Edge Catalyst. Superfluous elements were added to the sequel, which puts some fans of the original off, but elsewhere the graphics were upgraded, the art style refined, and the world expanded, so it's still visually spectacular and has that awesomely rewarding first person platforming gameplay.
Some other great releases: The Last Guardian, Inside, Superhot, Planet Coaster, Dishonored 2, Salt and Sanctuary, and Ratchet & Clank.
