It’s that time of the year. There will be no further releases of major games this year, so it’s time to look back at the best games released in 2016. Personally, I believe that this year was slightly less stellar than 2015 when it comes to gaming but of course, your opinion may vary. 2017 is looking fantastic though, and we’ll cover all the most anticipated upcoming games over the next couple weeks.
Our end of the year schedule begins by giving you the power to choose with Wccftech’s Reader’s Awards 2016. We’ll delve much deeper on our choices for each category with subsequent articles, but for now it’s all about your votes. Some categories have many contestants while others have a few, but that’s just the byproduct of this year’s particular output in game releases, skewed towards certain genres while others were scarcely found.
Of course, you’re more than welcome to explain your votes in the comments section. Without further ado, let the votes begin! The polls will automatically close on December 31st, while on January 1st, 2017 we’ll present the Reader’s Awards 2016 winners alongside our own picks for the Staff Awards.
