20 Best Video Games Of 2016

2. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

It might not be the medium-shaking titan that The Last of Us was, but Uncharted 4 does something nobody expected going in - it reframes the entire original trilogy by making Drake way more human.

Where before we essentially treated Nate as an Indiana Jones-esque risk-taker, someone who lives for the thrill of the hunt and survives collapsing buildings with a few bumps and a "Holy !*$%!" one-liner, now we're given a proper foundation to precisely why he does all these things.

It's a question you didn't even know you wanted answering, but by making the player imminently aware that there's a person at the heart of all those increasingly OTT spectacles and set-pieces, it makes you care way more about every last action he takes.

A Thief's End concludes the series in landmark fashion, proving Naughty Dog are some of the finest and most learned developers working in gaming today.
