2016 was a great year for video games, so good actually that the Game Of The Year votes were all over the place for this years writer’s GOTY award. If you are unfamiliar with how our voting system works, here is a quick explanation.
We asked our writers to give their top 5 games of 2016 in order with #1 being the highest and #5 being the lowest. Each ranking in the top 5 gets a certain amount of points which are
#1 = 5 points
#2 = 4 points
#3 = 3 points
#4 = 2 points
#5 = 1 point
Here are the top 5’s from all our writers
