2015 has been a massive year for gaming; with some of the biggest and best games we've seen in a while, it's been one of the best years in recent history. Here at GAME we've been racking our brains trying to pick our favourite games for 2015, and with such a great list to choose from it hasn't been easy!
Despite this, we've managed to come together and deliver our top games of 2015.
CARL
This game took everything that made Just Cause 2 great and made it better. This isn't just my favourite game of 2015 this is my new favourite game ever!!
GREG
A fitting end to Geralt's tale, rendered beautifully in the best open world experience to date. Plus, I now have giant Griffin statue...
ALEX
I sink a silly amount of hours into these games every year, where else can you take your local team to Champions League glory after all?
2. FIFA 16
ASH
As a long time invested Halo fan the Halo 5 plot blew my mind! Halo 5 was the perfect mix of fast paced action to make me feel like an absolute hero, while fuelling my inner nerd with fantastic extra story information gems to discover.
JAMIE W
1. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear Solid V is a fantastic swan song to the Metal Gear franchise. Hideo Kojima & his team have delivered an incredibly fun game that keeps on giving even after dozens of hours of gameplay.
JONATHAN
Oh my, this game blew me away. My words will not do it justice, so I hope that having it as number one will.
SAM
Beautifully dark RPG, where you must decide between the lesser evil. You can easily lose hundreds of hours in the world of The Witcher.
MARK
Absolutely amazing next gen horror game that feels like you are playing a movie. Amazing visuals, musical score, atmosphere and a story line with a brilliant twist. Desperate for a follow up!
LUCY
A triumphant return to the post-apocalyptic, irradiated wasteland of Boston. Welcome home.
JON D
1. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
As a Metal Gear Solid fan it couldn't really be anything else could it? Kojima's Swan Song not only met my expectation, it smashed them.
IMOGEN
Oh man this game... it's tear-jerking, suspense filled, innovative, thought provoking... Anyone who likes choice based games absolutely cannot miss this one out. But bring the tissues – I'm still not over the ending.
JOSH S
1. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection
This is a stunningly beautiful and incredibly well designed game. The Trilogy still holds its own, and can easily match most major titles being produced today.
TOM D
1. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear Solid V is the most sublime game I've played in recent years. It feels excellent to play, it's addictive, never becomes a chore, and continually throws new things at you. Hideo Kojima, I salute you.
STEVE
The perfect post-apocalyptic playground, Fallout 4 is one of the best iterations of the franchise. With hours of quests to delve into, I won't be playing much else for a long time!
TOM
Intuitive combat, tons of missions and a beautiful open-world to explore, Xenoblade is one of the largest games I have encountered, thankfully it doesn't handhold for too long and encourages players to explore the world of Mira.
NATHAN
The storyline was incredible and it really brought the best out of joker, showing his dark, twisted and hilarious ways. Also being a massive fan of the comics, I loved that they included the 'New-52' costumes.
NICK
An RPG with an amnesiac protagonist, convoluted combat system, little to no signposting AND you get to pilot giant robots!?! A little slice of heaven for me!
KIRSTEN
1. Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
I have only played this game for about 2 hours but I already love it. The graphics are incredible, the twins are brilliant characters and I can't wait to delve further into Victorian London!
DOM
Continuing from how successful 2013's Tomb Raider was, Crystal Dynamics nailed the visuals and improved upon so many aspects of the game. I'm finding it hard to think of a reason to dislike this one.
AMY
Who doesn't like drop kicking zombies in the face? The game is just pure brilliance from start to finish.
