18 Best Video Game Moments Of 2016

14. Directing And Starring In Your Own Car Chase - Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

I must have played through this sequence a good 10-plus times. There's just something about the genius of Naughty Dog giving you the blank canvas of an in-motion car chase that's endlessly engaging and experimentally deep.

Starting out with a more standard driving section before Drake ends up hanging on for dear life on the end of his grappling hook, once you make it to the first car - firing at enemies and sliding through the mud as you go - it's off to the races. Do you leap between vehicles and take foes out with fists and kicks, commandeer a jeep for yourself and ram some others off the road, shoot the tires out from behind cover, or a mix of all three and whatever else comes to mind?

Ostensibly feeling like the jeep-hopping sequence from Uncharted 2 on steroids, A Thief's End's version is one of the most impressive feats of reactive game design you'll lay eyes on this year - all with you at the centre.
