Here's my anticipated top five.
Rise of the Tomb Raider - I'm only a few hours in, but this is a genuinely amazing sequel. Square Enix has fully realized the potential of this reboot, creating an adventure that is visually, mentally, and thematically engaging at a top level.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - While it lacks many of the charms of past MGS titles, The Phantom Pain just may supercede them all in terms of pure gameplay. It's sharp, dense, and gives you so many options to play with.
Rocket League - No other videogame has ever sold me on the very concept of sporting, like Rocket League. It controls so well, and leads so many thrilling organic moments. Simple gameplay done perfectly.
Super Mario Maker - Level editing games always fall into the same traps, either lacking the complexity to breed interesting content - or drowning players in too many moving variables. Nintendo hit the magic balance with Mario Maker, utalizing nostalgia as a prerequisite for creative understanding. It's led to some brilliant levels, better than what I've seen in most dedicated platformers.
Ori & The Blind Forest - It's a visually thrilling, emotional game that doubles as one of the best Metroidvanias in years.
I still need to play Undertale, Life is Strange, Falllout 4, Just Cause 3, and a few others before I make a definitive call though.
