Allright so right now I'm just bored laying in bed after a surgery infection. So then I started thinking what is my game of the year so far. There have been amazing games like uncharted 4 and dark souls 3. Then there are surprising games like enter the gungeon and far cry primal. But one game stands above them all as my game of the year so far...

overwatch
Yes I'm counting this game even tho it doesn't release until about a week, but we have played the whole game already. I but about 30 hours into the beta so I think it's safe to have this opinion . Everything about overwatch I love, all the characters are so well designed and feel so differnet. Each games it a giant game of Rock Paper Scissors with you trying to find the best counter for the other team. I have never had so much fun In a multiplayer shooter since MW 2.

So gaf with the big releases of the first half of 2016 out what is your favorite game so far and why

 

[Reebot]

Doom.

Because it's condensed fun, from beginning to end.

 

[dragonzdogma]

Dragons Dogma Online,
It just keeps getting better each update

 

[Toki767]

Uncharted 4 for me. It's the most polished game I've played since I don't even know when.

 

[Thewonandonly]

Doom.

Because it's condensed fun, from beginning to end.

I have been enjoying doom a lot. Coming off UC4 tho I just can't really get into it. Know all love it eventually tho

 

[dragonflys545]

Uncharted 4, nothing even comes close to it for me.

 

[bbkkristian]

Uncharted 4 without a doubt. This year so far has been pretty bare in GOTY material imo.

 

[KraytarJ]

The Witness is currently in the lead. I'm currently playing through Uncharted 4 and after its beta Overwatch is definitely on the list, so things could change but The Witness is my current choice.

 

[Menitta]

For me, SFV or Pokken.

I haven't had fun with video games like this in a long time.

 

[R3TRO]

Quantum Break.

I thought the gameplay was well done and I enjoyed the story/tv show.

 

[maxcriden]

Hope you're feeling better from your surgery!

I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying TPHD despite it being one of my less favorite Zeldas. I think it still is but I'm really enjoying it a ton, the world is very fun to explore especially when you have a lot of items unlocked, and the dungeons themselves are exceptionally clever, unique and well-conceived.

If remasters don't count, though, I'll choose Paper Jam. I'm probably halfway or less through the game but it oozes charm and creativity from every pixel, the battles are super fun and creative, and the world is engaging and delightful.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Dark Souls 3, the best game of then gen until From makes another game.

 

[brainzelda]

I can't envision anything dethroning The Witness for me this year.

 

[Dynasty8]

Dark Souls 3.

 

[blue_phazon]

Dark Souls 3 or Doom for me.

The former because it's fucking Dark Souls, the latter because it's the closest thing to Metroid Prime this gen

 

[Horp]

Doom.
Might be overtaken by Overwatch in the long run.

 

[WGMBY]

Doom.

Because it's condensed fun, from beginning to end.

I think this might be my current pick as well. My top 3 so far have been Doom, Dark Souls 3 and Uncharted 4. I'll decide after I've finished all of them.

 

[george_us]

Dark Souls 3 although Doom is making a REALLLLLLLY strong case.

 

[JTripper]

Uncharted 4. There's really no competition right now for me since U4 hit all the right notes.

The Witness was a big contender when it was out but honestly it became less interesting to me as I completed it and didn't really resonate much.

Looking forward to No Man's Sky, which will probably be another big contender releasing soon.

 

[Poster#1]

Doom.

 

[FelipeMGM]

1-Uncharted 4

2-The Witness

3-Ratchet & Clank

4-Firewatch

5-Overwatch

 

[brandonh83]

While playing through Uncharted 4, I thought Uncharted 4. After finishing Uncharted 4, my GOTY so far is Dark Souls III.

 

[momshotdad]

As of now, Dark Souls 3. But, I only have 4 hours in Uncharted so we'll see how that goes.

 

[DeathSparks]

DOOM

Such a fantastic game that doesn't slow down the action once. It's so good

 

[DrArchon]

The best games I've played this year are games that came out before this year, so it's a little tough for me.

I guess I'll have to go with Stardew Valley. I put so much time into that and loved every second. The amount of charm that just gushes out of it is astounding. It's so relaxing and peaceful too, which made it perfect for chilling after long days at work.

Runner up award goes to Darkest Dungeon, which I never managed to beat but still thoroughly enjoyed.

 

[Jonboy]

Uncharted 4 currently, but I still need to beat Dark Souls 3. Currently about halfway through, but they're pretty close in my mind.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Tossup between Dark Souls 3 and XCOM 2 for me

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

For me it's Fire Emblem Fates followed closely by Dark Souls III. I highly doubt anything will contest those two by year's end.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Dark Souls III, with Doom following shortly after so far!

 

[OnionPowder]

Still has to go to The Witness for me.

 

[Elios83]

Uncharted 4 and then Dark Souls 3.

 

[RooMHM]

The witness

 

[MegaSackman]

1- Uncharted 4
2- The Witness
3- Dark Souls III

We'll see what comes later on but I don't see Uncharted 4 being surpassed this year.

 

[BeforeU]

Only new game I have played this year so far is U4.

too early to say anything.

 

[ironcreed]

So far it is between Dark Souls 3, Uncharted 4 and DOOM for me.

 

[Nestunt]

Uncharted

but I don't see it sticking in my ballot.

Even The Witcher's DLC will make my opinion on Uncharted fade

 

[Spring Drive]

Overwatch

 

[Nakazato]

Doom is in the running. But overwatch is coming out

 

[Hellshadow]

Dark Souls 3 - most replay value for me, never gets old

 

[Akai XIII]

The Witness.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Uncharted 4, nothing even comes close to it for me.

This

 

[SlimySnake]

Dark Souls 3. A game that puts gameplay first.

 

[serenewarfare]

I am wavering between Uncharted 4 and Stardew Valley at the moment. Both are excellent. Lots of great stuff still to come this year though.

 

[Asd202]

Uncharted 4 over DS 3

 

[fastmower]

While playing through Uncharted 4, I thought Uncharted 4. After finishing Uncharted 4, my GOTY so far is Dark Souls III.

Same with me.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Uncharted 4 or Stellaris so far.

 

[bluexy]

My shortlist:

Dark Souls III
The Witness
The Banner Saga 2

 

[kagamin]

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X. It would've been Trails in the Sky SC but that came out last year... meh.
Then Dark Souls III.
Then Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen.

 

[Horohoro]

Uncharted 4 most polished game I've played since the last of us lol.

I'm hoping that Mirror's Edge Catalyst jumps up on that list though tbh.

 

[SexyFish]

The Witness, Dark Souls 3, and Uncharted 4 are all so amazing.

But they're nothing compared to
