Vote for your game of the year!

2016 was a fantastic year for gamers. But which game rocked your world most? “The Division”? “Final Fantasy XV”? You decide.

Is it just me or are more and better games released each year? In any case, the time I have to test them just isn’t increasing one bit. 2016 was mind-blowing for gamers. There were so many crackers that it’s quite easy to forget what came out in the first few months. Remember “The Witness”, “The Division” or “XCOM 2”? They all came out this year.

Now that this year is coming to an end and "The Last Guardian” and “Final Fantasy XV” are probably the last of the killer games (yet) to be released, it’s time to crown this year’s best games. 3DS, PC or console – anything goes except for mobile games. Use the comments field below to share your top 10! In about two weeks, we’ll evaluate all your answers and compile an official top ten of digitec users’ fav games.

«The Witness» is also in the race.

To provide you with a little inspiration and remind you of some of the games out there, here are the personal top tens of myself (editor), Raphael Knecht (Marketing Manager IT) and David Lim (Community Representative).

War and sports. First you get shot in the leg, then you’re hit in the head by a baseball. Beware of Raphi.

I sense a bit of a soft spot for colourful pocket monsters.

  5. Dark Souls 3
  6. Owlboy

And now it’s your turn:

What are your personal top ten games of 2016? 3DS, PC or console – anything goes except for mobile games. Make sure to order your favs from 1 to 10.

Our overall evaluation will follow in about two weeks as a separate post.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
