8. Titanfall 2

A strong single player campaign and ace multiplayer made Titanfall 2 a winner this year.

In a year that saw the release of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and the superb Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2 was still the best military shooter available. Developer Respawn’s game offered both a great multiplayer and single player experience, with the game’s campaign featuring one incredible set piece after another. Meanwhile, the emotional story was engaging from beginning to end, with Respawn surely making up for the lack of a campaign in the original Titanfall game.

The multiplayer too was superlative, featuring varied and fantastic maps that offered endless gameplay possibilities and opportunities for team tactics. This is true whether playing as a super-agile pilot or one of the game’s heavily armoured titans, which were the star of the show here. All in all, Titanfall 2 vastly outdid its 2014 predecessor, and was amongst 2016 best.
