Damn. Division just snuck the hell up there. I wouldn't have expected it. Not a bad list otherwise.

SinCityAssassin · Dec 23, 2016

I'm surprised Pokemon ain't on there, but I guess the two versions bisected those review numbers.

Seems most games that were released in the latter half of the year won't make it judging by their criteria.

MaverickHunterX · Dec 23, 2016

Great to see Doom up there...

Ryo Hazuki · Dec 23, 2016

No Titanfall 2 is disappointing but sadly expected.

DriftingSpirit · Dec 23, 2016

Ratchet and Clank on the list makes it a good list.

Yeah my jaw dropped. Hopefully that means sales were good and the franchise has future potential.

Battlefield 1 being top 3 contradicts that thought.

They were and it does.

6. Ratchet and Clank

Oh, no worries there.

It sold quite well.

Primethius · Dec 23, 2016

So this is just the Amazon reviews themselves combined with how many to determine the list, yea? No outside control?

If so, turned out to be a pretty good list. Nice to see UC4 up at #1.

I thought they said they were moving away from all that stuff to be more independent?

I need more RnC after the masterpiece that was ACiT.

I just got into it and I love it, but this still took me by surprise lol.

sixteen-bit · Dec 23, 2016

Nice that Doom charted

Forerunner · Dec 23, 2016

Far Cry Primal?

Decent list, but that one is kind of strange. I mean it's not a bad game, but there are a lot more worthy titles this year.

Eggbok · Dec 23, 2016

I came for the salty Uncharted posts.

Wollan · Dec 23, 2016

Surprisingly good list. Has Doom, Dark Souls, Uncharted, Overwatch etc.

Seeing as they're working on AAA game atm, i guess not.

TheOfficeMut · Dec 23, 2016

I had the most fun playing Doom and the best experience playing Uncharted 4. To me it is unnecessary to try to edge out one over the other so as to proclaim one as the best game of the year. They were both equally amazing experiences.

jediyoshi · Dec 23, 2016

Weird thing to do while it's still 2016. Seems like there'd be a case of games that have been out for longer having an advantage.

They want to own any new IPs that they create. That won't stop them from working on existing properties like Spider-Man or Ratchet & Clank.

I said most.

SliceSabre · Dec 23, 2016

Having finally started playing Tom Clancy's The Division after avoiding it cause of what I heard on GAF, it well deserves that No. 2 spot.

This is probably about reviews from Amazon and I doubt the next 7 days will make a great difference.

Drifters · Dec 23, 2016

Two points...

1) This is for the UK so there's that.
2) Digital, Physical or both?

Good. Looking forward to Spider-Man too. It'll be the first spidey game for me.

You'll never like anything doing this.

Yay for ratchet give me another title soon insomniac

GifGafIsTheBestGaf · Dec 23, 2016

crap, i forgot to review DOOM. that was another 5/5

Gator86 · Dec 23, 2016

Fire Far Cry Primal into the sun and swap in TF2.

Division was and is a really fun game. The game was awesome at launch from 0-30, but just had a really bad endgame. Unfortunately, every game must be some lifestyle now so people soured on it pretty quickly.

Quentin · Dec 23, 2016

I'm batting .300

Lol!

I hope another Ratchet remakes in the works but I kinda want Insomniac to be the go to Marvel dev as well for some of my favorite Marvel IPs.

Choices, choices...

Venuspower · Dec 23, 2016

Good to see Ratchet and Clank on that list.

I am surprised that The Division made it to the 2nd place.
Uncharted 4 on place 1 is not surprising at all.

Hmm they could handle both I feel they've been working on both apparently while also releasing games in-between ratchet and directly after as well as Sunset overdrive. Very efficient studio

It is reviews, not only taking ratings but amounts into account. I wouldn't, not with Christmas being within that week.

A Doctor Strange game would be the mutt's nuts. An ever changing landscape in the vein of The Evil Within. I'd love it.

That or a Guardians of the Galaxy ARPG with elements of Mass Effect.

cordy · Dec 23, 2016

Ratchet being on the list is amazing. Love that game.

ChaosZeroX · Dec 23, 2016

Nice to see Ratchet up there

Haha. Yeah gimme that up your arsenal and maybe deadlocked remake/reimagining

You should know better buddy, lol.

Falchion · Dec 23, 2016

I keep forgetting Primal came out this year.

EloquentM · Dec 23, 2016

List is horrible. Good for uncharted though.

Aselith · Dec 23, 2016

RIP No Man's Sky

OraleeWey · Dec 23, 2016

I would have expected at least one Microsoft exclusive in there

Psycho_Mantis · Dec 23, 2016

Drake stays treasured

well the game won the most votes category

slightly ahead of UC4

Memento · Dec 23, 2016

Ratchet and Clank? :0

StrongBlackVine · Dec 23, 2016

nahh. xbox gets trashed all the time at amazon reviews

I have seen no evidence of this and I look at Amazon's lists daily.

BigEmil · Dec 23, 2016

The Division and FIFA do not deserve to be on this list.

This must be EU.
