Does this count if it came out in Japan in 2015? Whatever. Best game of all time (that I actually finished this year).

See above.

3. NieR:AutomataNieR:Automatahttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/NieR_AutomataOpens wiki page

Would probably be higher if I finished the game.

4. Tokyo DarkTokyo Darkhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Tokyo_DarkOpens wiki page

Very quick but wonderful game that looks at the less-romanticized bits of Tokyo.

5. Children of ZodiarcsChildren of Zodiarcshttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Children_of_ZodiarcsOpens wiki page

turn-based RPG with dice and cards that's actually kinda fun, also props to @aurahack for the art!

Fire Emblem but with more JRPG goodness

8. Cosmic Star HeroineCosmic Star Heroinehttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Cosmic_Star_HeroineOpens wiki page

Chrono Trigger but with more sci-fi and some cool 16-bit animation.

9. Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Guilty_Gear_Xrd_REV_2Opens wiki page

I got to play as Baiken for a bit, then realized I'm better with Potemkin.

10. Yakuza KiwamiYakuza Kiwamihttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Yakuza_KiwamiOpens wiki page

Never did play the first game, the Majima Everywhere system is a nice touch.
