Outlast is scary and will make you feel fear. It doesn't do much more than that, but if horror is what you're looking for, you won't do much better than this.
There's not a single area in which Transistor doesn't shine beautifully. It is objectively short and very linear which many will see as a negative, but it really works to make a tight package in Transistor's case.
Zer0 Sum tells the best story and introduces the best characters in the Borderlands series. As a Telltale game, the humor tends to fall a bit flat at times, and it lacks the drama Telltale do so well.
While this episode is certainly worth the effort, chugging through buggy sections with long loading screens puts the grinding brake pads to a lot of series enthusiasm.
New Sony adopters can hail as an indie champion has come to PlayStation 4 while returning Nomads can appreciate the upgraded visual splendor.
The story may be a bit of a let down but the core turn based strategy gameplay is a ton of fun.
Dark Room brings out the darkness in Arcadia Bay, but fails to continue one of the best parts of Life is Strange.
Without much time, Escape Plan Bravo brings plenty of smiles and sets up grudges to be settled in the series finale.
Simply put, there is no better stealth-action gameplay system than the one within The Phantom Pain, and no better game as of yet in 2015.
Assault Android Cactus has all the personality and variety of a twin-stick classic, but lets the focus fall too heavily on a single, ever-draining battery bar to match that promise.
Even though Adventures of Pip has far too few new ideas, the skeletal system we've played in other games still holds up under a new coat of pixels.
Life is Strange went out with its emotional core beating strongly despite some of the same old gripes of the series lingering.
Vault of the Traveler brings a proper close to the first Tales From the Borderlands season, and should signal the end of Telltale's failing game engine.
Despite the lack-luster story of the Fryes' rise, Assassin's Creed Unity bolsters the ideas of last year with some new, worthwhile additions keeping the franchise fight-ready.
Halo 5's narrative is going to leave the community split, but the multiplayer will unite those who have been longing for something this tight since the days of the original trilogy.
Coflicks has most of its eggs in a row, delivering a methodical real-time strategy experience that immerses you into space and chicken politics.
Black Ops 3 is a well-rounded game that doesn't take the series forward. Its packed with a solid multiplayer experience, an okay campaign but loaded with a ton of content that'll surely keep its fans busy and happy.
A few quibbles with mechanics and bugs can not drown out Bethesda's triumphant return to the end of the world after the last 7 years - their best game ever, and a serious challenger for best game of 2015.
Star Wars Battlefront may not be perfect, but it's still better than trade negotiations.
Nuclear Throne revels in its own madness as a twin-stick shooter that could easily stand shoulder to shoulder with any other in the genre. While the repetitive nature of locales does grate after a while, it's still difficult to not come back for one more game time and time again.
