Not sure where to start when it comes to 2016 games. 2016 was a very weird year for the gaming community. There were some unexpected buggy glitchy releases in 2016 at the same time some unexpected good games. 2016 was not really one of the greatest year but not a wasted year either.
Games like Doom came out in 2016 and at the same time, there was No Man’s Sky – A huge disappointment. However, No Man’s Sky managed to turn around in the upcoming years and dealt with the community. Honestly, for the first time, I don’t want to rank the games, instead, I will mention a few of the best games from the year 2016. Don’t start a fight, this is not a ranking. The main reason for writing the article is to dig up some good games from the past and also help the Windows 7 users because they can still run all these games on their Windows 7 computer.

Now, in XCOM 2, the aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order.
Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to ignite a global resistance, and eliminate the alien threat once and for all.”
