You'll smack “Enter” and then rush through dangerous obstacles as they briefly deactivate, grabbing your objective and crashing through a window before any alarms trigger, just liked you planned.

You’ll pull out your chunky laptop in the game, confidently type a series of commands into the text-based terminal with your real-life keyboard, and prepare a set of gadgets. But the coolest and most satisfying part of the experience is the physicality of hacking. It throws you into a series of increasingly elaborate and puzzling heists across towering skyscrapers, moving trains, space stations, and more. With stylish confidence, Quadrilateral Cowboy turns you into a badass hacker in an retro-futuristic world with '80s cyberpunk flair. Read the Offworld Trading Company Review 18: Owlboy Nobody would have ever thought a game centered around capitalism could get your heartrate up so high, but Offworld Trading Company succeeds with its truly unique, wonderfully-executed concept. Matches are vicious, and the scales often tip dramatically. Or, you could be quickly trying to sell truckloads of your resources, crashing the market price, turning your rival’s profit into massive debt, and letting you buy them out. You could be racing across the surface of Mars to find and lay claim to mineral-rich plots of land, hurrying to place buildings for faster manufacturing, and making shady deals with the black market to disrupt a key location in an opponent’s operations. But the experience is far from mundane-the short, real-time multiplayer matches are frantically intense, filled with critical decisions every second. In Offworld Trading Company, resource gathering, supply chains, corporate sabotage, and the equity market are the weapons at your disposal. One of the best strategy games of 2016 doesn’t feature combat. Few other games this year made us connect so intimately to fictional characters like Firewatch. Henry, Delilah, and the enthralling landscape of rural Wyoming will be remembered as a significant peak in narrative-focussed video games. It’s a profound journey of self that is shaped by your actions. Everything from throwing a rock to what you say (or don’t say) through a two-way radio creates an effect. While the key beats of the central plot are a shared experience for all players, the things that you choose to do and say as protagonist Henry causes a reaction in either the characters or the world, and affects how both Henry’s personality and his relationship with his supervisor Delilah unfolds. More importantly, it lets you be directly involved. With its strong writing and natural dialogue, Firewatch is a game that manages to capture the thoughtful nuances of human nature and life experiences through a relationship between two people. Set in the beautifully-realized wilderness of the North American midwest, Firewatch is not so much a game about outdoor survival and a mysterious plotline as it is about surviving emotional solitude, dealing with loss, and finding a way out.
