18 Best Video Game Moments Of 2016

4. Hacking The World - Watch Dogs 2

Talk about 'ramping up', Watch Dogs 2 fixed every last one of the issues from the original, providing a confident mission statement for the continuation of the franchise (if there is one) with some brilliantly fun missions like this.

Set at a point in the story where player-character Marcus Holloway and his fellow Dedsec crew are flexing their muscles and seeing just what they can get away with in the name of raising awareness for their cause, the game's scope takes on a whole new level when you're suddenly controlling a satellite, looking down on the world itself.

From here you can jump between continents, re-routing servers to power your own. It's a great way to show the interconnectedness of our modern society, alongside letting you drop into a number of different locations, all with geography-appropriate accents - a really fresh take on how to do a 'globe-trotting' sequence of environments.
