Games of the Year: 2015

Well, its that time again to see which games are the best of this year. You know what that means: idiots fighting over numbers with other idiots about which games are the best and CoD fanboys fighting with MW. You know what, I'm not going to put numbers on them, instead I'm going to just list them in letters just to add confusion. Please note that ONE of the games I actually got for free when I updated my computer as a promotion by Nvidia, and yes, that counts as well since I got this game for free. These are usually games that I have played or have on a review account to help as not all critics can afford to review most games.

A) Undertale
          This short, inde-RPG game that was made by Toby Fox, an Odd-ball EarthBound fan who worked on rom-hacks and is known for that one awesome song Megolavina. Common, folks! He left that songs in most of his works to show that he has worked on the game before. Except for that Concatenation game; that didn't count as it was borrowed with Fox's permission. That song is not really a spoiler. A game that remembered your actions as you replay the game over and over again. This gets an honorable mention because it did something that most RPGs don't usually do by playing on almost all RPG tropes with the endings sticking onto the players. Also, ten US dollars! That's about what I pay for lunch!! Get it, because the demo actually sucks becasue the intro is harder than the main game.

B) Batman: Arkham Knight
         While I do agree that the plot is disappointing, the bat-tank is tacked-on, and the completion bonus is not worth it, I would still recommend the game as it ends the game of the trilogy. However, the PC port is still broken as of today, so I would have to recommend the Playstation 4 version as it seems to be built for that system. It would be lower on the list since WB tends to porked their ports, which happened before with games like Mortal Kombat 9. Run it on PC if your dare. However, the plot-twist in the opening of the game what redeemed the game to me, even though it was false advertisement on WB's end.

C) Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
         This is the game I got for free while updating my computer so I can work on my other PC game reviews and is probably the BEST looking out of the series. However, it's also has the WORST story of the franchise and is probably the last good game from Konami as Kojima has officially left as of 2015. The best part of the game is its gameplay, as it's sandbox stealth at it's best while it stays challenging with three different endings, but a sad plot-twist at the end. While Snake Eatter will always be the best with the Solid Snake remake for the GameCube behind it, this is not a bad game; Just yet another game where the completion bonus SUCKS!

E) Fallout 4
        I know I am going to get slack for this game, but this is the most optimized Bethesda Game that I have played ever. I have just finished the game and it is such a doozy. Without spoiling much, the player  star as a survivor of Vault 111 out to find your lost child as he was taken as a baby. The player must then escape and decide which path to go upon to survive the wasteland. While some found that a gray plot and moral lines may have hurt it's viewpoint and disappoint some looking at the game, I found that it dose more from doing less. Besides, looking back at Fallout 3 and New Vegas, the two games did NOT age well as both games are littered with far worse issues than Fallout 4. At least the Wounderer's not a child killer. No, seriously; he/she can do that in uncensored versions of Fallout 1 and was even an unused perk!~

F)  Super Mario Maker
          It was either this game or Splatoon. While Splatoon was a fun, it then had power-issues where some weapons are too over-powered and quickly faded away as well as it's hype. However, with check-points just added on for free in the latest update, this is a great game to play with your friends. Make from the noob-friendly levels to teach players about a gimmick to something that even evil itself would not even publish, like the meat-boy levels! This is a game for both casual and hard-core gamers. I just wouldn't recommend it to children, as they tend to break all sorts of games.

G) Just Cause 3
            With the ever new ways to travel via flying suit, new ways to use your tethers, updated bomb with a new booster, and new weapons like the multi-launcher, the readers understands why I added this game to my list. This time, however, it's personal for Scorpio as the game takes place in his home country, meaning he has no reason to hold back anymore. He sets out to save his own country from a dictator who has Scorpio's loved ones under his boot. However, the story missions is not the main focus as causing mayhem will help get income called chaos, which you can use to buy planes, cars, and all sorts of goods to help cause chaos to help liberate his country. I would like to talk more about the game, but S-E embargos are usually too strict.

Which numbers they belong to is up to the viewers, as I personally feel these are my top games of this year. Hopefully, there wasn't as much disappointing games as there was last year, but there are some games that where very disappointing. So Next time, the six most disappointing games of 2015!
