2015 has been a year of ups and downs and of course delays, something that seems to be happening way too often these days. But, of the games, we did get some that were truly exceptional, here is a quick list of the top 5 games that came out in 2015. The spiritual successor to the popular ‘hardcore’ action game Dark Souls, Bloodborne has one purpose and purpose alone – to frustrate you. And it’s not for the faint of heart. Each boss fight comes with a sense of relief, something most AAA games in their entirety cannot replicate. And that feeling remains a constant even after hours of tiring gameplay.
Fallout 4 Platform: PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 A lot of people will say Fallout 4 isn’t the same RPG Fallout 3 was and they wouldn’t be wrong but that doesn’t make it any less amazing. Explore a massive post-apocalyptic Boston as you search for your family, make friends, join factions or just nuke a settlement; the possibilities are endless. The combat is fluid; shooter fans will definitely feel at home while franchise veterans will of course, turn to VATS for that critical shot. This is the game you’ll spend hundreds of hours lost in. The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt Platform: Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC The Witcher franchise has always delivered when it comes to long memorable storylines and The Witcher 3 is no different. Geralt of Rivia’s adventures take him across a beautifully crafted living world as he searches for Siri. You will find it very easy to get lost in the world of Witcher 3 thanks to its beautifully-crafted storylines. While the pace might not suite newcomers, RPG fans and fans of the franchise will absolutely love it.
Rocket League Platform: PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One (2016 launch) The football racing hybrid nobody saw coming; after a rather rocky start with server issues on launch the game quickly became of the most played games on the PlayStation 4. It combines crazy fast RC cars doing backflips and barrel rolls while playing football in a wicked loud arena. If you’re looking for some fun with friends online, then Rocket League is definitely the way to go. Forza Motorsport 6 Platform: Xbox One Forza Motorsport 6 is the racing game we so desperately needed after Project Cars and Driveclub left fans of the genre rather disappointed. A celebration of automotive history and simulation perfection, Forza Motorsport 6 doesn’t do much wrong. Unleash your inner roadster with immensely-detailed cars on some of the most popular real world tracks or spend endless hours in Forzavista checking out every corner of your favourite ride; this is as good as it gets for racing games.
