In no particular order:

1. The Last Guardian
2. Dark Souls 3
3. Zero Time Dilemma
4. Digimon Cyber Sleuth
5. Darkest Dungeon

Honourable mentions: Uncharted 4, Pokemon Sun, Dishonored 2 and No Man's Sky (would have been great without all the glitches and crashes, the latter became so frequent to the point where I just gave up playing).

I love Christine

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau

This year has been more active than most, alternating between 2 months of nothing and 2 months of gaming.
I played a lot of things again and I'll probably skip most but a handful: ronin, life is strange, the talos principle, undertale, something else I forgot. Good thing everything was short.

Anatomy by kittyhorrorshow is 99% implications and 1% a player, whispering vhs crickets and some house. It's a little good thing and it costs a slice of pizza or something.
AvP classic 2000 doesn't have the wealth of design ideas of the most popular japanese horror games but it creates suspence through first person, hud radar lying to players, unreliable guns, no reliable way to get visual feedback through paths and arenas, plus something I forgot regarding 10 minutes of confusing bad maps and no quicksaving with 1 file and infinite enemies spawns. It invalidates some stuff players learn along the way, beyond what I mentioned in the hud, and for example roofs in the stranded map won't hold against aliens. It's not a scavenging game either, while keeping the pick ups few and far between them, and the final boss from the marine campaign is not to fight, or at least I always have it sucked out in outer space without fighting it and dying keep trying. It has a bunch of issues but otherwise it's okay.
Phenomeno is a decent self contained pilot horror VN nobody seems to know about, it's free.
Like horror/japanese stuff Devil Daggers is some impotency hell and sorta fun to play.
Hyper Light Drifter is a pretty arena anime thing with fun combat.
Homeworld Deserts of Kharak is on the side of angels, some regular easy to play rts which feels both an introduction to the multiplayer and groundwork for not prequel stuff, escaping from dying planets is not new to the genre but DoK does it differently in that the scale of it is supposed to make players feel the steps they take on the thing which is trying to kill them, like space did in the previous games (radars not working, waves/rock storms, gardens of psychopaths, graveyards/relics for impotency, homes burning and all that), it's a shame everything keeps on being scripted fluff.
Oxenfree, coming of age purgatory, teen drama and chats, nostalgia as fake history of times which never were, 90's survival horror cliches in puzzles and collectables and crap but otherwise pretty good.
Quake's Arcane Dimensions is some of the best stuff I had, mostly fun maps.
One Shot, Va11Halla and Pony Island are humble things to enjoy even though I dropped the latter.
Yomawari is some cutesy and very light horror survival to enjoy, beware of the save system else you'll lose progress
Snakebirds :V
Doom is okay and gets more trivial to play with time, suffers from trendy things like stupid collectables and upgrades too
SuperHot is not very good either and it's not innovative or anything, Titanfall2 is okay despite call of duty design/ trendy stuff affecting the multiplayer too

forgot about the rest

Best games

1.Final Fantasy XV-it lived up to my expectations
2.Doom- I thought this would flop but caught me and everyone else off guard
3. Megademension neptunia- fun game with likable characters
4. Corpse party 3DS- a good horror game
5. Shantae half genie- great indie game


Worst games

1.The last guardian- 9 years of waiting for trash. Awful controls (worst this gen) and single digit FPS. Anyone working on this title should be fired and blacklisted from the industry.
2.No Mans Lie-you know why
3. Paper mario color splash- This was and is Nintendo saying piss off to all the old PM fans they refuse to listen thus we got this and thankfully it tanked. Now maybe we can get TTYD back.
4.Street fighter V-No content at launch
5. Star fox zero- so bad it actually killed the series.....again

Only played Overwatch, Doom and Dead by Daylight, which are really fun games so I guess those.

Still need to play Stardew Valley, seems like Animal Crossing/Harvest Moon which is awesome.

From 2016 I only like Battlefield 1, Watch Dogs 2 and The Walking Dead: Season Three. Games from 2015 are better (i think)

I can agree with that, I was more blown away by games like Bloodborne and Undertale than I did with even my favorites of this year.

I honestly can't remember a single game from 2015 besides Witcher 3 and BB, where else I atleast got impressed with 9-10 titles this year.
