Hmmm mine would probably be:

3. Super Mario Maker
2. Sayonara Umihara Kawase/Undertale
1. Maybe Yo-Kai Watch or Bloodborne

Hm. This is tougher than I thought.

5. Final Fantasy: Crystal Defenders - Why is this here? I'm not sure, except that I enjoyed it a lot more than I imagined I would. Just trying to improve each time I played kept me entertained.

4. Divinity: Original Sin - The game is flawed, certainly, but it also offers so many positives. I put 100+ hours into it before I got bored. With a bigger budget and more polished mechanics, this could have been GOTY quality.

3. Dishonored - Really just an excellent game. Awesome atmosphere, fun powers, and a good story.

2. Fallout 4 - This should probably be my top pick, to be honest, but I'm putting it at #2 because I knew what I was getting and I expected that I would love it. I'm over 400 hours now (though some of that was spent in idle) and still discovering new places.

1. This War of Mine - I put in over 100 hours and, for awhile, I played obsessively. I've seriously never come across anything like it. It could be unfair and unforgiving but that's part of the struggle, like the real world it is intended to represent. I still remember the shock I felt the first time one of my survivors was killed, shot by a drunken soldier who was trying to rape a girl. I tried to help her, failed, and the character I'd been trying so hard to keep alive was gone. No respawn, no second chance. In another play-through, when I ran across the same scenario, I quietly ran away and left the girl to her fate--which, in turn, left all my survivors dangerously depressed.

It was a unique experience and deserves a huge amount of praise for bringing something new to gaming, which is why it's at the top of my list.

OMG really?, I did not know. I hope it turns out to be a great movie. :D

Don't own any consoles to play it anymore.

The Order 1886

Hmm, my GPTY... At the top of my head, in no particular order, I would say:

Splatoon
Smash Bros 4 Wii U
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Earthbound Beginnings
Earthbound
Mother 3
Mario Maker
Stella Glow
Akiba's Trip
The Walking Dead: Season 2
Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai
Heroes of Might and Magic III:Complete

I guess that is kinda a lot, haha... They were all great games that I really enjoyed playing this year x )

Yeah, since I am eagerly waiting for the fan made Mother 4 game, I thought it was time to start the series. Of the 3, I like Earthbound the best. Mother 1 was a fun, sweet, quirky game, like Earthbound, but was a lot harder. Random battles happen a lot, and the difficulty would spike a lot. The story was sweet though. Mother 3 was fun too, but went more fantasy and lost the identity that Earthbound had. It was also more strange than quirky.

Earthbound is like a re-imagined M1, but much more improved, and just an overall silly but fun game to play. I would recommend Earthbound the most : D

1st. Life is Strange

2nd The Witcher 3

3rd Trails in the sky FC

Oh, you played it... awesome..! You know what I mean then B^ ) If you are curious and are free, maybe M1 is worth looking at too, but it may be a bit hard to play thru old game mechanics.

I finally bought Tropical Freeze and loved it. Hard as hell, but not frustrating. Pretty to look at, and dozens of hours to finish. Worth the $40 used price for sure. I also bought VC Donkey Kong 64 and thought that was awesome too. They need to do another game like that with the 5 characters that need each other to finish it. I'll be VCing Metroid Trilogy soon and that, from what I hear, will be next years oldie but goodie...and Zelda U better be out in 2016.
