Ranking Summer 2016's Video Games From Worst To Best

1. Pokémon GO

The fad may be dissipating a smidge now, but since its release in July - and across the entirety of 2016's sunniest months - you couldn't move for Pokémon GO players. Seriously, it became a 'thing' to assume anyone even looking at their phone was playing.

No one title or entertainment product has ever enraptured the masses to such a degree, becoming so instantly widespread and enjoyed as a community, not to mention it actually played very well - its tracker and catching systems being simple, with a nice amount of depth under the hood.

Sure, the game has its detractors - and yes, if we really start looking at Pokémon GO purely as a video game, strip away the nostalgia, social factors and associated branding, it doesn't truly contend with the competition - but looking back at summer 2016, there's only one game that stands out from the rest.
