15 Best Video Game Levels Of 2016

7. The Hand - Furi

Furi is one of the most taxing and purely 'video gamey' experiences you could have from 2016. A top-down hack n' slasher twinned with twin stick shooter controls, gameplay switched on a dime from asking you to monitor enemy animations and strike accordingly, and how to evade screen-filling swathes of projectiles and attacks.

The whole campaign is designed around a series of boss battles (to which every fan has their favourite), but one of the most pivotal in the story overall is The Hand - a warrior who looks like an Elder Scrolls/Blade Runner hybrid.

Learning his fairly basic initial moveset allows for the perfect pace to be set as the two of you size each other up, The Hand's young son watching from the sidelines. It's here where you'll start to question just what's going on in Furi's world, and whether your character is actually on the side of good overall.

As the battle ensues and increasingly larger attacks are broken out to bring you down, matching them pound for pound turns into one of the most memorable encounters in the entire game.
