Long as we get a PC port of Bloodborne someday.

I absolutely loved Demon Souls + Dark Souls 1 & 2. I have no plans to ever get a PS4 so here's hoping.

This list is really the best games that I've PLAYED in 2015, because I usually opt to play massive time sink games that take me weeks/months to complete. These days I'm rather not keen on poor value for money, railroaded tosh that be breezed through in a weekend and then be completely discarded because they have ZERO replay value. (eg games by the post-Jason Rubin era Naughty Dog)

1. Far Cry 4 - The best Far Cry game to date. FC4 throws the player into a highly reactive sandbox world with a set toys that lead to immensely fun emergent gameplay. The excellent foundations of FC3 were greatly expanded upon and its faults were addressed. (Clint Hocking fucking off to Valve was the best thing to happen to the FC series ever since Crytek were thrown off developmental duties after making the woeful first game; the people responsible for FC3 actually knew up to make fucking games with good design and fully realised game systems that actually worked.)

2. Fallout 4 The Elder Scrolls 5.5 - This latest Elder Scrolls game from Bethesda is a huge sandbox with lots of freedom, superb value for money. TES5.5 improves overhauled gunplay provides the agency and polish that was missing from 2008's TES4.5.

Bethesda gradually get better at world building with every iteration of TES. There is barely any copypasta in TES5.5's dungeons. TES4.5 was rife with copypasta subways and sewers; Skyrim was plagued by loads of copypasta Nord ruins, Dwarven ruins and Falmer caves.

3. Watch Dogs. An original game setting, set in an open world where the player is given a toybox that is really fun to play around with.

4. The Evil Within. Resident Evil 4 finally receives the successor that it should've gotten.

Honourable mention:-
The Witcher 3 - I wanted to play this game, the writing of the quests and characters was really fantastic, but had to put it down due to the state it was released in. CD Projekt RED's track record of releasing unpolished games with badly designed systems sadly wasn't broken by TW3. Hopefully Cyberpunk 2077 is finally title their first title that doesn't need loads of patching before it's up to snuff.

Now that TW3 is reportedly in a good state, I will revisit it after I'm done with TES 5.5 and The Evil Within.

I'm tempted but on the fence about The Evil Within, so I wanna ask yeah: You playing this on console or PC? … (If PC, gamepad or k+m?)
