Street Fighter V is the only thing I've bought and played so far this year. The game is great if you like online PvP and don't mind the lack of single player content.
The best of 2016 so far.

My fiance has been utterly addicted to Stardew Valley for weeks. Kinda looks like Harvest Moon on crack. Don't think it's my kind of game, lol.BloatedGuppy said:
Also, you need to add me on bnet so we can play the Overwatch beta this weekend. DL'd it last night.
I haven't played a whole lot of new games this year, but if I had to rank them from best to worst, it would look something like this:
XCOM 2
Salt & Sanctuary
Hyper Light Difter
Stardew Valley
Good Robot
Factorio
Portal Knights
Disgaea PC
That being said, I don't think any of those games are horrible, however the last three either have issues that need to be sorted out (and seeing as two are still in early access, I'm hopeful that they will get better), or aren't as enjoyable as I remember (Disgaea PC).
As far as 2016 as a whole goes, it's been fine... I guess? Apart from XCOM 2, there hasn't really been anything that I've been super excited about. However there hasn't really been anything (at least from my perspective) that has fallen flat on its face either, so it gets a solid 7/10. Hasn't done anything wrong, but could try harder.

This is where we see I am incapable of remembering what's come out this year.
1) Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel
2) Dark Souls 3
3) Stardew Valley
Uh... there really isn't a whole lot else I've played that came out this year. Since I mortally offended Nintendon't by having the temerity to be born in the EU, I'm still waiting on Fire Emblem which would probably have been my #2 otherwise.

Firewatch, Oxenfree, and Superhot are the only ones that immediately spring to mind.
I was right into Hyper Light Drifter for a short while but I kind of lost interest and never finished it. Same with Enter the Gungeon. And Twilight Princess HD.
Severed looks like it has promise but I'm only an hour or two in so it's too early to judge.

All I've played that was released 2016 so far is Dark Souls 3 and The Nioh alpha demo. Lucky for me, I've thoroughly enjoyed both of them. If the full version of Nioh comes out this year, I'll be happy with the year.
Others I'm looking forward to playing:
- Salt and Sanctuary (I'll wait for the PC version)
- Rise of the Tomb Raider PC (already out)
- The Banner Saga 2 (already out)
- Uncharted 4 (though I wasn't much of a fan of Uncharted 3 compared to the previous games)
- Total War: Warhammer
- Mirror's Edge Catalyst
- Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
- Dishonored 2
- Outlast 2
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance (not sure if that will be out this year)
- Shadow Warrior 2
- Torment: Tides of Numenera
So the year has potential. Could be on par with last year, where I particularly enjoyed Bloodborne, Life is Strange, Satellite Reign, Soma, MGS V, and Until Dawn.

Erm...did I even play anything new this year?
Wait, yeah, The Division.
I guess...that's it?
I mean, it's the only one I've enjoyed. There was also Slain!, but that turned out to be a very pretty trainwreck with a badass soundtrack.
What I'm eager for though:
DOOM- I wanna see how this turns out
Homefront: The Revolution- I wanna see how this turns out
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil Remaster- I AM TUROK!!
Uncharted 4- Looks great, who doesn't enjoy Uncharted who owns a Playstation? (Don't answer that)
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided- Haven't been able to contain my girly squeals since I saw the latest trailer
No Man's Sky- Are we actually getting this? Is it finally happening this year? Because SPPPPAAACCCCCEEEEE

Life is Strange got its physical release this year, so seeing as that is the only game I've bought this year so far, that. Well done Life is Strange for being the only thing interesting enough to buy in the first half of this year.
Look me being grumpy. Uncharted 4 comes out on Tuesday(hopefully Monday, come on Amazon) and Valkyria Chronicles Remastered comes out the week after. So I will soon be able to point at those as the best of 2016 (so far).

I've not played Fire Emblem or Bravely Second yet, but those aside, STARDEW FUCKING VALLEY. You want to be a farmer? You want dungeon crawling? You want ludicrous amounts of exploration and secrets? You want the video game equivalent of Valium? PLAY STARDEW VALLEY.
