I've played 2 on their list.

Doom 2016 is awesome. Probably my actual favorite game this year.
I played Overwatch in Beta + during a Free Weekend. My thoughts from the Free Weekend - it's a lot of fun. While there's a lot of different unique heroes/ characters to play as, which'll keep replay value up - it just needs more maps + game-mode variety, though.

While I do have Witcher 3 and think it's really good - I ain't played enough of it and ain't played Blood + Wine.

Ive got a copy of Overwatch sitting here waiting for my PC upgrade and my new connection to show up. Doom can be had for surprisingly cheap so once I do get that new PC then I can grab that as well.

I didn't want to start a new thread to link IGN PK's list of best 2016 games.  I get a kick out of seeing two of our own published.  Good going, guys.  :)
