15 Best Video Game Levels Of 2016

5. Day 77 - Firewatch

An absolute masterclass in building a slow release of tension, Firewatch's "What's really going on in the woods?" mystery hits a couple of high-points right around the middle of its thoroughly riveting narrative.

First you'll get clocked upside the head by an unseen figure, putting you on the back foot and confirming earlier suspicions that there is in fact, someone - or something - else in the surrounding wilderness.

After you and your compadre have been thoroughly spooked, Day 77 is the specific chapter where the story takes its most spooky and eery turn, as you discover what appears to be a surveillance tent full of detailed records, as though someone has been spying on both of you this whole time...

To say more would ruin the game, but sufficed to say, Firewatch was one of our Games of the Year for a reason.
