Great list. I've played through a lot of these and specifically just started Ori (awesome so far). Only thing I would do is add Far Cry 4 and Soma (IMO this title and dev deserve a lot of recognition), but it is your list so cheers to that however you choose the games. I'm hoping that Far Cry Primal, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, and Doom are all list-worthy 2016 titles.

Some people have been asking for game recommendations some being console gamers coming to the PC platform. So I made this list of great games available on PC. List spans all genres so if you are picky about a particular genre you might still find a game to your liking in this list. Ones in bold are great games, rest are good games. If tom'sHardware did a benchmark review of a game the link has been provided on the game's title.
