2. Uncharted 4

Uncharted 4 is a cracking game from start to finish, and Nathan Drake’s final adventure.

Some were saddened when it was revealed that Uncharted 4 would be Naughty Dog’s final Uncharted game, and possibly the final game of the series. These games have been some of the finest action-adventure titles to hit consoles in the last ten years. Thankfully then, Nathan Drake’s final adventure has been one of the best video games of 2016 no doubt.

Uncharted 4 features some of the best visuals yet seen on consoles, with its spectacular vistas, jungles and superb character models and settings. The game’s story was powerful and moving at times, a tale of friendship and redemption amidst a search for a long-lost pirate treasure. The superb third-person action did put many other games to shame this year, making Uncharted one of 2016’s biggest releases without a shadow of doubt.
