There are hundreds of new apps coming out every single day for smartphones and tablets alike. So how can one possibly choose the best game to play in 2016? With so many games to choose from, it had to be something exceptional, unusual and ground-breaking in the world of games.
The one that we have deemed as the best game for 2016 is an Indi Game by Sam Barlow, which deals with police investigation.
It might sounds pretty mundane, but believe us, the interactive playing method of this game is completely ground breaking.
Her Story. Her story is a game that gives the players access to a data base, much like that of a police archive. It focuses on a woman, and videos clips of her interviews, as she tells officers about her missing husband. Players work as the police who is interviewing, and they can use the data base to search for answers.
At first glance, this game might seem simple, but the mechanics of searching for answers becomes deeply engaging, as the woman answers your questions. This makes it completely unique and means that this game cannot be played the same way twice. With such a deep and intuitive story, you get sucked into the game and the story of a woman who has lost her husband.
Another thing that makes this game truly unique and worthy of being listed as the top game, is the live action clips, where it feels like you are actually engaging with a real person, rather than the game.
The game is non-linear, fragmented, and deep, where you must look deeper into the information given. This game is challenging, and allows viewers to truly engage with the material, rather than just play through mindlessly. Rather than puzzles and levels, this is set out like a true case, where you talk to the woman and truly find out what her story is, where she fits in all of this, and if you can possibly figure out such a complex case and series of events.
The high levels of realism put this game high up on the list of games for the next year, as they focus strongly on the novel, the unusual and the realistic, leaving gamers wondering where the game starts and where reality ends.
It is a moving game, with genuine emotions, a live actress and a huge data base. On its own, this game might rank mid to high for PlayStation and pc. The reason we are ranking it as the top game, is it portable, compact into a tiny device, which you are able to take with you in your pocket. All the complexity of a high level game, compact into a small application, which is deeply engaging, riveting and novel.
All these reasons and more are why we have listed this game as the top game for 2016. If you enjoy figuring out mysteries and finding justice in the real world, then this game might just be for you, mimicking traditional settings and allowing you to do the work you desire.
