lol so true. I hope Persona 5 would release this year.

1. Ori and the Blind Forest

2. Hotline Miami 2

3. The Witcher 3

4. Resident Evil Remastered

5. Mortal Kombat X

Yeesh, such a lousy year thus far.

1. Bloodborne.
2. Splatoon.
3. Life is Strange.

I haven't played that many memorable games this year, there hasn't been that much anyway. The worst disappointments of the year so far

1. Batman Arkham Knight.
2. Witcher 3.

Shit, I don't think I've played any games released in 2015...

Only games ive been playing are PES2015, MUSHA, and Blast Corps.

1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

2. Bloodborne

3. Batman AK

4. Mortal Kombat X

5. Helldivers

For now there's only 2 i like. BB and TW3.

Haven't played anything from this year yet.

But the game(s) I've enjoyed the most that I started playing this are are, by far, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm.

I would never have bought either of them and rediscovered my love of all things StarCraft if it weren't for that 50% off sale Blizzard had during the Steam Summer Sale week when I was in a spendy mood looking for something different to play.

Now the icing on the cake is that Legacy of the Void in on the horizon already and I'm about a third of the way through HOTS (moving slowly because work).

In Order

Dying Light

Wolfenstein The Old Blood

Batman Arkham Knight

The rest of my collection came out in 2014.

1) Batman Arkham Knight

2) Bloodborne

That's where I'm at right now this year

So far...

The Order

Witcher 3

Resident Evil Remake HD

Mortal Kombat X

1. Kerbal Space Program (though to be fair, I played this YEARS ago)
2. Splatoon
3. Monster Hunter 4
4. Serpent in the Staglands

My list ends there, been spending the rest of my time on recently updated games. And old games. Pillars of Eternity was not fun.
