Although we’ve seen little more than the first half of 2016 so far, some great video games have been released already. These include the likes of Naughty Dog’s superb Uncharted 4 and the surprisingly great Hitman reboot by developer IO Interactive.
Hopefully there’ll be more great games in store for video game fans this year, although it’s clear there have been some superb releases to date in 2016. So without further ado, here follows a list of the top 5 video games which have come out in the year so far.
1. Hitman
This Hitman reboot brought the bald assassin Agent 47 back to player’s screens, after the earlier Hitman: Absolution game failed to impress fans of the series. And thankfully the new Hitman game offers plenty of player choice and numerous ways for protagonist Agent 47 to deal with his targets. The game is being released in an episodic format, with the Paris, Sapienza and Marrakesh missions already out.
In Paris, for instance, players can pose as a supermodel to take down the leaders of a fashion company which is a front for a criminal organization, or take his targets down from a distance with a sniper rifle. Of course, 47 can also employ a waiter’s disguise and resort to poison to complete the mission… But this Hitman game not only offers plenty of player choice but some beautiful European locations like Paris and the Italian coastal town of Sapienza, in what no doubt is one of the year’s top video game releases so far.
