![]() ![]() ![]() 2016 reminded us once again that, even as technology lets games become increasingly cinematic in their storytelling and photorealistic in their visuals, that precision is still the key-that the most important facets of a successful game are the confidence and focus necessary to explore its mechanics, story and aesthetic as deeply yet succinctly as possible. (And now I sound like an Oscar presenter.) Together they illustrate the breadth and scope of what game artists can accomplish today, both on our TV sets and in our VR faceboxes. The best games of 2016 took us to the Shoshone National Forest, a magic-filled pseudo-Victorian society, a stark dystopia where children are hunted by faceless adults, countless barren planets with awesome music, a future Earth still dealing with fallout from the Omnic Crisis, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the throbbing depths of rhythm hell, and a multitude of other destinations both real and imagined.
