Top 12 games in 2015
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
Although the single player side of the game is weak, Rainbow Six: Siege’s multiplayer modes are a huge amount of fun. Tense, thoughtful and tactical, they play very differently to most run-and-gun shooters. While the game’s content does feel a little slim at launch, there’s no denying it’s highly enjoyable to play – especially when you have a team of players working together.
Fallout 4
Fallout 4 is a impressive response to criticism that the series has ignored its qualities as a shooter in favor of its deeper and stronger RPG roots. Nearly every design change in Fallout 4 presents the game as a more streamlined modern shooter with high production value across the truly open-world Commonwealth wasteland. A thrilling, engaging, post-apocalyptic experience that you can witness in a typical american city. Dark humor combined with a serious narrative that makes us think about the value of human life in this huge world that is barely contained within a game disc.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
The Phantom Pain is an unusual Metal Gear experience, one that not everybody may enjoy if they cling to systems of old. If they’re willing to adapt and accept this new way of exploring Kojima’s world however, they are going to be blown away, absolutely, and one hundred percent guaranteed. This new open world is one that is begging to be played with, in whatever way a player wishes.
Undertale
Cities: Skylines
This game managed to be everything we ever had hoped it would be and then some, with all the wonderful attention to and customization options. It is a fully completed game, that even focuses on minor details in your giant city. Fans of the genre of city construction won’t want to miss this one.
Dying Light
In conclusion, Dying Light is a terrifying open-world zombie game with an excellent story, intent on scaring the living hell out of you. The thrill of rotting flesh, blood, guts and quite often my own tears has left me with an ironically refreshing outlook on what a game can be when it truly delivers.
Tales from the Bortherlands: A Telltale Games Series
With Tales from the Borderlands, Telltale Games has struck gold. The Borderlands universe was represented with an enjoyable game, rogue story and charismatic characters. What could have been a minor game ends up being an interesting interactive experience focused on the plot.

Super Mario Maker
Super Mario Maker is a crazy fun way of taking your own spin on thirty years of Mario. It is very easy to use, you can switch between building and playing in an instance and the online experience of sharing levels with other people will keep you busy for an endless period of time.
Rocket League
Fast, stupid and thoroughly enjoyable – Rocket League will eat your life five minutes at a time. Overall it’s a blast to play and it only gets better as skills improve over time and as the competition ramps up. It’s a game that everyone, whether they’re big into sports video games or just can’t seem to get into them, will really enjoy.
Star Wars Battlefront
Star Wars Battlefront might not be terribly considerate of solo players and its by-design accessibility might deter DICE’s hardcore Battlefield fans, but there’s no denying the multiplayer is a hell of a lot of fun, and as far as creating the feeling of being part of a Star Wars movie, it doesn’t get any better than this.
Until Dawn
Until Dawn is a near perfect game, which just breathes horror on every level. The game puts you in control of a group of teens and terrifies you while doing so. The script can keep you entertained and feeling like your decisions mattered through the gameplay. Thanks to some good twists, a few fake-outs, and limitless jump scares, Until Dawn would make a solid horror film. As a piece of interactive fiction, however, it’s a remarkable experience that horror fans shouldn’t miss.
Broforce
It’s an homage to the Metal Slug era, and it’s incredibly well done. It sets a new standard for 2D action shooters. And it does it with style. Overall, a great game wrapped in every action movie ever.
