Best games of 2015

I used to make these lists every year, but it seems like I haven't made one since 2014. Probably due to me being lazy, and a little bit of losing interest in gaming media. Not listening as much to podcasts, reading the site, etc. I have begun listening to both the Beastcast and Bombcast again, maybe that's why I got a sudden urge to update my lists.

But I digress. Going through the release list from 2015, I have to say, that was a weak year. For me, at least. I never had any interest in MGS, and since I didn't (and still don't) have an Xbox One or a PS4, I couldn't play GTAV. One of the weakest years of the decade, I couldn't even come up with 10 games!

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Looking back at this game now, I have to say it was an awesome game. I didn't finish in 2015, but I picked it up later and played it all the way to the end, with all the DLC. Geralt is my man.

Pillars of Eternity

2. Pillars of Eternity

Not as good as Baldur's, Neverwinter and the like, but still an awesome experience from start to finish. Love the characters.

Fallout 4

3. Fallout 4

Faaaaallooooouuuuut. This series will always be in my heart, no matter what shit Bethesda puts it through. Not as good as 3 or New Vegas, but I still had fun for most of the game. I had to force myself to finish it, though, which rarely is a good sign.

Dying Light

4. Dying Light

To be completely honest with you, I don't remember much about this game. I played it coop with my buddy, and we had a blast! I remember something about not going out after dark because of crazed zombies.

Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition

5. Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition

I miss this series. My wallet doesn't, though. I remember making Excel-sheets for all the figurines, so I could plan how I could buy them all. Thank you, Disney, for canceling it, I would have been homeless now. Fun game though, especially as a coop game with your kids.

Super Mario Maker

6. Super Mario Maker

If it says Super Mario on the box, I usually buy it. I never was into content creation, but I thought maybe the Mario-theme could inspire me. It did, for a couple of levels. Then my inspiration disappeared, and I didn't play much more of the game. 4 years later, I didn't even pick up the sequel.

Game Dev Tycoon

7. Game Dev Tycoon

Bought in on the 2014 Holiday Steam-sale, and it sure is addicting. Post-apocalyptic RPG Climate Wars is my greatest success, ranking up 11 million sales on PC ;)

RimWorld

8. RimWorld

Now, THIS... is awesome. It's the kind of game that you can't tear yourself from, you just need to do one last thing. Then another. Then another. It's been a long time since a game kept me up 'til sunrise. 2019 editors note: Guess this officially came out in 2018, but I played the early access version.
