Landon's Top 10 Games He Played in 2015

by lando81

Ok. First things first. I didn't play as many games as I wanted in 2015. Even when I did play, a bunch of what I played was from 2014.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Until Dawn

1. Until Dawn

What I was expecting to be a one note, boring horror game ended up being the most compelling game I played this year. Multiple player characters with seemingly multiple ways for them to live and die in a super creepy snow set mountain resort. Honestly my biggest surprise of 2015 and probably the game I enjoyed playing through the most. Color me dumbstruck.

Fallout 4

2. Fallout 4

Yeah, this game is kind of a glitchy mess with a honestly horrid frame rate, but man it's a BETHESDA RPG. Nothing wastes my time quite like a good ol' BethRPG. With base building, weapon customizing and armor accessorizing, FO4 is sure to keep me occupied through a bunch of 2016.

Destiny

3. Destiny

I called Destiny "shit" in my list last year. Well, I won't admit I was wrong, because I was right. At launch, Destiny was kinda missing a buttload of content. In 2015, Bungie made right by making Destiny the game they promised it could be and a REALLY great grindy time. Do I still feel guilty for playing it? Yeah, but there's a lot to feel good about in Destiny these days too.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

4. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

What little story there is makes barely any sense to me, but I killed a bunch of guys by shooting at the power lines above them while they were standing in a puddle and really I'd recommend trying that because it was really neat.

Star Wars Battlefront

5. Star Wars Battlefront

Battlefront. If it looks like Star Wars, SOUNDS like Star Wars then it mu-YOU CAN PLAY AS DARTH VADER AND SLICE DUDES UP WITH YOUR LIGHTSABER REAL SABER-LIKE.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

6. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

The first VR game I've really got to spend some extended time with,Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is some of the most fun I've had playing a cooperative game in a LONG time. Even when the gameplay is just me reading out of an instruction manual while my roommates yell what they're seeing on their briefcase bomb.

Spelunky

7. Spelunky

My #1 game from 2014 is still probably one of my most played games of 2015.

Nuclear Throne

8. Nuclear Throne

Nuclear Throne is finally out and is honestly a lot like if Spelunky was a twin stick shooter. It is good.

Heroes of the Storm

9. Heroes of the Storm

I finally got into a MOBA and it didn't kill me.

Batman: Arkham Knight

10. Batman: Arkham Knight

Batman Arkham Knight adapts one of my favorite Batman stories into a REALLY pretty game that still plays like one of the best out there. And you can't really go wrong with Mark Hammill's Joker, can you?
