2015 has largely been like 2014 for me. My taste further developed in the same direction it did in previous years:
I started to play SOMA. I started up The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt once. I am eagerly awaiting for Darkest Dungeon to finally relase. I haven't left the inital zone of Pillars of Eternity yet. I only downloaded Invisible, Inc., while listening to the GB GOTY podcasts. So these guys are not on here.

This game came out in December 2014 and now has seen its first major expansion in December 2015. It gets a lot of bad reviews on Steam etc. mostly because it is very expensive. But I already have the lifetime expansion pass, so this is not really relevant for me. The developers try to balance making a scientifically accurate galaxy simulation and a fun space game. I play it mostly as a calming after-work game where I explore and trade. This game gave me the best moments in 2015, e.g. when after hundereds of dull star systems you discover a new Earth in the depths of space.
This still remains my "one game for a lonely island". Well, at least when you include the steady stream of expansions Paradox is delivering. The new project lead took it into a very interesting direction.
Great game in the Spirit of the original Syndicate. I did not like that they removed the overworld-aspect of it, but parts of it (implants, research) are hidden in the menus.
Although I do not play it "hardcore", I got (back) into Hearthstone in a big way. I got all the solo adventures and beat them, I purchased a lot of packs (with real and ingame money) and I complete most daily quests. A big motivator was the new Tavern Brawl mode, which intruduces a new twist to the gameplay every week.
The exception of the rule. I have three buddies to play this with, which is the only way to stand the representativeness. Great 2 weeks of evertainment.
CivBE was a flawed game. RT is a partial solution for that, but it seemed rushed.
I played this in 2015. Fun game.
