Given the sheer number of , it's fair to say they're not always worth it. I spend an awful lot of time combing through freebies to see if there's anything decent, and they certainly are not all diamonds. Sometimes, however, we get a real treat. This is one of those times.
One of the best games of 2016 and, arguably, one of the greatest games of all time is . This masterclass in immersive sim action from Arkane Studios remains unmatched in its field.

This is one of the best examples of a truly perfect immersive sim, blending combat, stealth, and a dizzying array of gadgets and powers to get through levels in any number of ways.
