This has the added benefit of helping with constant motion in the Sony PlayStation VR headset. It’s more of a strategy game, and you have to sit back and think about your actions. My favorite VR game, Batman does something really unique.
#BEST LOOKING GAMES OF 2016 MOVIE#
(Be sure to also watch the brilliantly transportative movie called Kingsglaive, one of my favorites of the year.) 7. It’s massive, ultra-convincing, and has some of the best creature design I’ve ever seen. You may have already played an RPG like Final Fantasy XV and sliced and diced a few baddies, but you have never quite seen a gameworld like this. Coaxing and cajoling doesn’t always work, and the relationship develops over time. Unlike the developer’s previous games ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, you feel a strong bond to the massive dragon-like creature in the game, which uses a fuzzy AI that seems utterly believable. I wasn’t quite ready for the most innovative part of The Last Guardian. The fact that Starbucks just signed on to participate officially in the game is one reason it is so innovative. Pokémon GOĬould I have not included this mobile game? When you see kids wandering around in front of your office carrying their phones hunting for Pokémon creatures, you know there’s something really unique. My first few sojourns to new planets provided a unique thrill. In terms of innovation, there’s no question this procedurally generated game - which has 18 quintillion planets - is incredibly innovative.
#BEST LOOKING GAMES OF 2016 PATCH#
Still, the developers released a new patch that improved the gameplay. The gameplay, like setting up a sniper decoy with a human head, is based on actual events. The graphics could be the best we’ve ever seen, especially during an opening level that looks photorealistic. One incredibly unique aspect: The game makes a bold statement about the the ravages of war. Aren’t indie games better? Not when it comes to Battlefield 1. I sometimes get some flack for including major studio games, especially when they are first-person shooters. My favorite elements - other than the subtle graphics, atmospheric audio, and weird gameplay - is that you feel some emotional dissonance and - that ending! It’s a must play for any gamer. I don’t want to spoil anything, but the game transports you to another place and time, somewhat similar to the developer's previous game called Limbo. Even the major releases from studios like Electronic Arts had brilliant innovations we’ve never seen before. This year was much, much easier than past years, mostly thanks to a wide selection of games and the debut of virtual reality headsets. It’s that time of year again - for several years in a row, I’ve picked the most innovative games of the year on any platform.
