18 Best Video Game Moments Of 2016

16. Summoning Your First Astral - Final Fantasy XV

Upon completion, Final Fantasy XV reveals itself to be quite the mess as far as its story is concerned (Square Enix are actively working on additional patches to smooth things over), which is why it's a damn good thing the gameplay and combat are so much fun.

As part of the focus on making you feel as empowered and stylish as possible, Squenix put a humungous amount of effort into delivering a number of summon animations that are genuinely jaw-dropping.

Titan is the first you'll have access to, and comes with a rousing operatic score as the camera pans way back to show the sheer size of his attack.

Upon completion, you're brilliantly put back into gameplay, the now-ravaged world still in its destroyed state, letting you walk around amongst the rubble, debris and general aftermath for a few seconds, just to breathe it all in.
