Vote for your game of the year!
2016 was a fantastic year for gamers. But which game rocked your world most? “The Division”? “Final Fantasy XV”? You decide.
Is it just me or are more and better games released each year? In any case, the time I have to test them just isn’t increasing one bit. 2016 was mind-blowing for gamers. There were so many crackers that it’s quite easy to forget what came out in the first few months. Remember “The Witness”, “The Division” or “XCOM 2”? They all came out this year.
Now that this year is coming to an end and "The Last Guardian” and “Final Fantasy XV” are probably the last of the killer games (yet) to be released, it’s time to crown this year’s best games. 3DS, PC or console – anything goes except for mobile games. Use the comments field below to share your top 10! In about two weeks, we’ll evaluate all your answers and compile an official top ten of digitec users’ fav games.
To provide you with a little inspiration and remind you of some of the games out there, here are the personal top tens of myself (editor), Raphael Knecht (Marketing Manager IT) and David Lim (Community Representative).

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
