This is certainly my FPS of the year and possibly my GOTY as well.

I am enjoying Dishonoured 2 very much as well so I might have to
choose between those two games for my own personal GOTY.

Titanfall 2 is the most satisfying FPS that I have played for many
years. Possibly since Half-Life 2. 

I don't pay too much heed to the story in an FPS, so I won't even
comment on that. But for raw action, great sound, beautiful graphics,
and downright awesome and fun to use weapons that look, sound and
'feel' meaty, I have not played a shooter this good for a very, very,
long time.

The Pilot sequences and the Mech sequences are beautifully meshed so
that the game flows flawlessly and seamlessly between each type of
combat. The combat is just superb, even the 'parkour' type wall
running blends in really well with the overall game.

In some ways, Titanfall 2 reminds me a little of Crysis 3 but with a
Mech instead of a Powersuit. But with vastly upgraded and rewarding
combat that puts Crysis 3 to shame (some would say that's not hard but
I thought Crysis 3 was a pretty enjoyable FPS romp).

I still haven't played Infinite Warfare, Space Hulk - Deathwing, or
Watch_Dogs 2 yet, but if any of those impress me more than Titanfall 2
has, I'll consider 2016 a really good year for games.

I give Titanfall 2 a score 9/10.
