10 Video Games You’ll Still Be Playing Long Into 2016

3. Football Manager 2016

In a series defined by marginal improvements, FM 2016 manages to be particularly so, with its biggest being expanded press interactions, more player models and cross-save support between the PC and tablet versions. But the incredibly compulsive core game is still there, offering an experience that'll have you envisioning yourself in the dugout each Saturday afternoon, barking orders at your players, and flying into fits of rage at the linesman (mainfested in the real world as you smashing your keyboard in impassioned anger). FM 2016 is the kind of game that people not interested in football just won't 'get'. They'll catch you during a seven-hour session with all those numbers and stats on the screen and just see a database, while what you see is an alternate dimension which captures the world of football in its entirety, but with you getting to be a part of it. It hasn't changed much, but FM 2016 doesn't really need to, because it knows full well you'll remain hooked until next year's iteration.
