Generally speaking
Putting aside my more niche preferances, getting what I consider two horror masterpieces (Evil Within and Alien Isolation) in the middle of such an era lacking good horror games, plus a WRPG better than 2015 (IMO DA > Witcher and (modern) Fallout any day). At least in the mainstream/AAA space, I think it was a much better year. 2016 looks like a superior year for exclusives "in general" but we'll see about multiplats
