I’ve been replaying the witcher 3. It reminded just how many good to great games released in 2015. From witcher 3 to the ps4 classic, bloodborne, there was something for everyone.

It was definitely the year that the ps4 and xbox one found their footing. Hopefully 2023 will be the 2015 of the current generation.

2015 was also a good year for nintendo with games like Mario Maker and Yoshi’s woolly World.

Below are just a handful of releases, if your pick isn’t in the poll, feel free to post it below.

EDIT: My stupid ass added dying light twice and also captain toad, which is a game from 2014. My bad.

[bloodborne]
holy shit it's so much better than 2022
captain toad is 2014 tho

 

[mansoor1980]

 

[bender]

Bloodborne but I also loved Phantom Pain. Until Dawn was a really nice surprise too.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Bloodborne robbed again. Witcher 3 ofc.

Yeah i also added dying light twice lol, my bad

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Bloodborne

But shout out to MGSV, derided because Konami and Kojima broke up. Still incredible.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Dragon's Dogma

 

[Pejo]

Surprisingly tough pick between Bloodborne/MGSV/Ori, but I went with Ori overall. It was just so well done and I was itching for a high quality metroidvania at that point. The escape sequences blew me away with the tight gameplay and forced mastery of the mechanics, while also being fair. It also came a few years after Journey which changed how I viewed music influencing gameplay, which was the other thing Ori did spectacularly.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Bloodborne robbed again. Witcher 3 ofc.

That was my true goal all along

 

[Fart Knight]

Witcher 3 but thats a good ass list.

Witcher 3 but thats a good ass list.

Right? I think 2015 is up there with the like of 98, 07, and 2011 in terms of great release years

 

[Banjo64]

The Witcher 3
Bloodborne

Pretty much tied.

Ori; best of the rest.

Fallout 4 in fourth.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Bloodborne ofc, although MGSV was also great.

Witcher was nice for a while, but the jnky gameplay ended up dragging it down.

Dragon's Dogma

All years, every year. Even before it came out

 

[NightmareFarm]

Mortal Kombat X.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is quite nostalgic though.

 

[Markio128]

If I could’ve voted twice I’d have voted for both Bloodborne and TW3. I voted Bloodborne because I literally didn’t play anything else until I’d finished it and I remember being fully engaged from start to finish.

 

[Irobot82]

Pillars of Eternity. Probably my favorite CRPG since BGII.

 

[SSfox]

MGS5 and BB, tie. Follow closely Batman AK

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Xenoblade Chronicles X for me

 

[Fart Knight]

Xenoblade Chronicles X for me

 

[Mr Hyde]

Bloodborne
The Witcher 3
Ori

 

[amigastar]

Pillars of Eternity - made me read books again.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Lol man I am still baffled by their choice of music for New LA. Catchy tunes but not so great when you’re listening to them for like 1/4 of a 100+ hour game.

 

[Jennings]

My favorite game on the list: Ori and the Blind Forest.

My favorite game not on the list: Splatoon.

These games were spectacular.

 

[Spyxos]

I just had to vote for Evolve.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Soma

 

[jshackles]

Voted Until Dawn, since it's a game I still play on the regular - and since it spawned things like The Dark Pictures Anthology games and The Quarry, which I also really enjoy.

 

[xpresstuning]

Easily The Witcher 3. The game was, and still is such a fantastic package of content worth experiencing that barely anything comes remotely close. It was also the only modern game that made it in my top 10 all time favorite video games ever made.

It was .. because now after 77 hours i can confidently state that Elden Ring is right up there as well. Never before have i been so obsessed with a video game since The Witcher 3.

 

[German Hops]

captain toad is 2014 tho

captain toad is BANNED!

 

[BouncyFrag]

The Whichaa!

 

[Orta]

Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Best game in the series since the 96 original. Had to upgrade my pc to the tune of €1600 to play it.

It was more than worth it, easily in my all time top 10, I love it. Still a looker too.....

 

[Robb]

Probably Mario Maker.

 

[Topher]

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Results would've been much more interesting if everyone had three votes.

 

[skyfall]

Captain Toad of course, we seriously need a sequel

 

[amigastar]

Is it really that good? I'm thinking about playing it. I just don't know if it's worth it. I have it in my Steam library.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Done.

 

[R6Rider]

Witcher 3

Might have been Bloodborne, but I didn't play it until 2017.

 

[Paasei]

Bloodborne - This game really needs a PC release.
Witcher 3 - Still playing it today with mods.
Fallout 4 - Same thing as Witcher 3.

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

I've got to give it to Bloodborne, but both it and Witcher 3 are among the greatest games of all time

 

[semiconscious]

yet another gentle reminder that this gen's got a long way to go to even begin to challenge the quality of the output of previous generations...

 

[Orta]

Is it really that good? I'm thinking about playing it. I just don't know if it's worth it. I have it in my Steam library.

Similar to the 2013 one, just a lot more meat on it.

Slightly less emphasis on combat, far more interesting environments, better story, puzzles, looks gorgeous, just a really really good game.

 

[64bitmodels]

Dragon's Dogma

How about i drag deez nuts in yo mouth ha gottem

 

[StarPlatinumTheWorld]

Witcher 3 and it’s not even close.

 

[Punished Miku]

MGSV for me and its not close.

 

[amigastar]

Sounds good, gonna try it.

 

[tommib]

Bloodborne is pure class and taste.
Witcher 3 is tacky RPG soap opera with terrible haircuts.

 

[Verchod]

Dirt Rally

 

[stn]

Witcher, for sure. One of the best games ever. Second pick would probably be Bloodborne.
