I suppose the fact that the very first game I reviewed went straight into the bottom five should have been read as a bad omen for the year, more so than that fucking gorilla anyway. And the developers of Mankind Divided apparently decided that what was bringing down its predecessor was that too much stuff happened in it. Deus Ex: Human Revolution was Deus Ex, but not as interesting or clever. On the Bland Games List, meanwhile, more of the same sequels can come in, make themselves at home, settle into their favourite armchair and bore the grandkids to death as much as they want.
It's Dark Souls, but 2D, and therefore much easier to push through a gap under a door. However, I'd hate to miss an opportunity to remind everyone that Dark Souls rules, so I'm giving 5th best spot to Salt and Sanctuary for reminding me of it. I have a rule to never allow into the top five a sequel that's only good because it's more of a thing I liked before, which is why you'll note a mysterious absence of Dark Souls III on this list. I could repeat that Call of Duty is crushingly mediocre, but I could more profitably use the time to smack myself on the forehead with the flat edge of a trowel. You'll find neither Call of Duty nor Battlefield on any of these lists, if only because it's getting too obvious. show-prolonging debut by the mediocre five, which to my mind is far more representative of the industry anyway. Hence the annual top and bottom five, joined once again, after last year's show-stopping.
Explosive elections, more celebrity deaths than a terrorist bombing at a drug rehab clinic and a slew of game releases that ran the entire spectrum of awful, bland and grudgingly okay.
