A few of my favorite games from 2016 (in no particular order):
1: Oxenfree by Night School Studio
I love story based games. Beautiful art, and an intriguing story with all the classic science fiction nods you could hope for. Plus a foggy island full of caves? It’s beautiful and awesome.
2: Slimerancher by Monomi Park
This game is the most relaxing game I’ve payed in a while. Cute, happy,little slimes? Building an adorable ranch? Everything about this game is adorable and fun.
3: Life is Strange by Dontnod
I know that technically this game came out a little while ago, but this game continues to be one of my favorites to watch and replay. The story is incredibly deep and sweet, and heartbreaking, the art is beautiful, and the world is so expansive.
4: Hustle Cat by Date Nighto
Want a fun dating game about people who turn into cats, where you can date dudes and ladies and work at a cat cafe. A+
