About the nomination
Before the word "action movie" we mentally add "plot". Cooperative and competitive games are put into a separate nomination, and here we evaluate the militants with a single campaign. The struggle, as it should be in the genre, was serious. Three prizes took five projects at once. Meet! The best militants of 2016 – according to the "Gambrine"!
3rd place. GEARS of WAR 4, Dishonored 2, Watch Dogs 2
Three games are in third place – not a short -term compromise, but honest arithmetic. In editorial vote, they collected an equal number of votes and the whole crowd settled on one step.
Dishonored 2 became a brilliant continuation, increasing everything for which the players fell in love with the first part. The sequel allows you to learn about the already familiar world a lot of new. The gameplay became more diverse, and the tense and gloomy atmosphere remained the same – this despite the fact that the scene was moved south. Korvo was old, but did not lose his grip, and Emily grew up and took possession of many father's techniques – now at the beginning of the game you can choose one of the heroes. And if the daughter is more likely to sneak on the roofs and play with the guards in hide and seek, then the father will get involved in a fight, stop time and cut all the throats to everyone. Or, say, will make enemies shoot each other. The number of ways of reprisal with the enemy is limited, perhaps, only your imagination.
Fantasy is useful in Watch Dogs 2. The project came out perky and in a good “Gikovsky” one: even the heroes of the game arranged their headquarters in the secret room behind the GIK-Tovars store! Scriptwriters gave us a lot of magnificent episodes, one brighter than the other. Steal a trailer for a new game Ubisoft! Apply graffiti to the famous Bridge Golden Gate! Richy Farmer sister sites Walk along a carefully recreated Alcatrase!..
Missions flare up one after another, like fireworks. True, it is precisely as the Watch Dogs 2 militant is peculiar: the flimsy hacker does not pull at the superhero at all, and does not try. In his style – to arrange sabotage, steal and command the ubiquitous drones.
Another thing is Jay Dee Phoenix from GEARS of WAR 4, squatting the path through hordes of enemies. The next part of the series enters the history of the glorious universe to nothing like anything: not hopelessly gloomy, like the first two, but not sunny, like a third. Starting like a serene adventure, she continues to dip the player into a serious horror.
As for gameplay, the shelter system is still the best in the genre, the game does not lag behind competitors in terms of destruction, and the chainsaw still cuts enemies into pieces.
And finally, storms … The storms are just incredibly good.
2nd place. "Uncharted 4: The Way of the Thief"
Developers Uncharted Often scolded for excess fighting. When Nathan Drake, walking around hundreds of mercenaries, knocks helicopters and lets off the train, this does not really fit with a dangerous but cute romance of travel and adventure.
Apparently somewhere in the depths Naughty Dog Criticism took into account and made perhaps the perfect uncharted. Shoots and Mordobia moved to the background, giving way to acrobatics, calm automobile races, the study of ancient temples and the solution of puzzles. There was even the opportunity to go through some levels in secretive mode. Sometimes it is possible to get around the enemies without attracting attention, or get into the tower to remove them from a sniper rifle.
Only this does not mean at all that Uncharted has become a bad action movie. As before, there is enough fast action. The weapons rumble, the scenery collapse, the fists give out weighty toothpicks, and you will not linger in the shelters for a long time – they will surround and smoke. At the same time, directors are constantly arranging completely unimaginable situations, like a fight on racing trucks, when you have to jump from the roof to the roof.
Yes, uncharted now you can’t call a purebred action movie. And this is one of the reasons that in this top he did not get the first place. Nevertheless, all combat episodes in the game are made simply brilliant!
Ultrashiroy view of games
We summarize the results of the year with our friends from LG.
LG monitors with a wide viewing angle will allow you to consider much more details – and in the same doom monsters will no longer be able to quietly get to you on the side. You will scold everyone in cold blood!
The home portable projector will easily transfer you to the world of the game – to the snowy mountains, on the coast of the tropical island or to the foot of the majestic bridge Golden Gate from Watch Dogs 2.

1st place. Doom
Describe Doom I would like in the spirit of the game itself: short, such shots of theses. Frantic dynamics, drive, blood, plague music, guns, more guns, explosion, hordes of enemies, Mars, travel to hell, arena, a bunch of opponents, shotgun, boss, BFG! Wild pace, primitive energy and rage, pumping out and … oh, I found a secret!.. Loading, the next level, and everything is new ..
The elements of the gameplay are adjacent to each other so skillfully that the campaign passes in one breath, a long and beautiful gulp. Peppy and spectacular, doom does not bother the player with an intricate plot, the maximum makes it clear why it is necessary to kill the devils in this particular room.
The "spinal" gameplay here is not perceived as the rudiment of a long -leaving era. This is the quintessence of the genre, what we have been waiting for many years and were almost desperate to wait. Doom does not seek to like everyone and should not be for fashion. In the menu of this game, there is only one dish – demons stuffed with lead and frying in plasma. They can be literally torn to pieces with bare hands.
This is an old school as it is. And we like it.
Mention are worthy
In addition, they fought for the title of action movie Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, Quantum Break, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare And many others. In secret, let's say that some of them are not so much behind the third place, but too many participants have already been located there.
That's all, but we do not say goodbye. Stay with us!
Forecast for 2017
Spectacular militants in the gaming industry have always been in abundance. So next year we are waiting for many games that fall under this definition. In the spring, a role militant may appear on the shelves Mass Effect: Andromeda , And you can expect anything from him – in which steppe the employees will bring BioWare This time, no one knows.
It looks even more mysterious Prey , New game from Arkane Studios , This year released Dishonored 2. Knowing the developers, it is safe to say that a new game will be any, but not standard and not predictable.
Without a doubt, the upcoming ones will apply for the title God of War And Red Dead Redemption 2. Another thing is that both the first and second can be transferred to 2018. However, let's hope that this will not happen.
It will not do without military shooters. So, Ubisoft will release in the first half of the new year Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Well, in November we will probably see another Call of Duty.
