This year has been a weird year. I've spent more time playing online games than I have story based games and it shows when I've only completed one full length game this year (that came out this year).

1. Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft
   I've never really gotten into card games before. I played a tiny bit of Pokémon when that first started and got into the Yu-Gi-Oh video games when they became a thing but beyond that I've never gotten deep into it until this year. I don't want to know the amount of hours I've put into this game. I've played hundreds upon hundreds of matches and had so many amazing moments. The amount of love and care that have gone into this game is incredible and it shows itself all throughout.
2. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
   I put 80 hours into the original game. I reached Golden God (100%) before the expansion was released and I loved every single minute of it. In less than 2 months I've already put 44 hours into Rebirth. Rebirth feels almost like a completely new game, with so many new enemies, bosses, items and mechanics that it's so much more than just a remake. The only downside to it is the new music, Danny B's music isn't matched sadly and the new soundtrack doesn't quite have the same atmosphere that the original did, that said It's still pretty good. This is a game that I will finish 100% and I can't wait for the expansion to come out.
3. World of Warcraft: Warlord of Draenor
   It's taken this expansion to get me back into the game. Throughout Wrath I was hooked, when Cataclysm came out I got to max level in one sitting being one of the first on my server to do so. However after hitting max level in Cataclysm the magic died for me and I stopped playing. I popped back in towards the end of Mists of Pandaria and just couldn't get into in any way. I tried and as part of that trying I preordered WoD to get the extra level 90 character to try and help, it didn't. Prepurchasing this game was the best mistake I've made, if I hadn't done that I imagine I wouldn't have played the expansion. The additions they've made with the expansion are great, the tweaks they've made are smart and it seems almost all aspects of the game have been improved to make the player experience better. Quests are fun, dungeon loot makes sense and there's now multiple ways to gear up at max level so you don't need to grind heroic after heroic to get gear any more. While I don't think I'll get back to Wrath level of addiction I don't see myself stopping any time soon.
4. Football Manager 2015
   There's not much different in this than 2014 yet for some reason I find myself spending so much more time on that than the previous year. Not a whole lot to say here other than that it's a fantastic game.
5. Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor
   I've yet to finish this however the time I've spent with it thus far has been incredible. The whole Nemesis system combined with the combat is enough to base an entire game off without even the need for a story or anything else. This game is so incredible smart in design, it's got so many hooks to get you in and keep you there. The first time I saw a revenge mission to kill an orc a friend had died to was incredible. At that point I was feeling a bit down on the game, I'd killed several orcs already and hadn't died once (nor even come close) so I've not had a chance to become "attached" to one or really get what the game is about. I rolled up, thinking it'd be an easy fight, some poor orc with a crossbow all by himself, easy. I attack, do some decent damage before a group of orcs ambush me. Seconds later I'm dead thanks to the orcs Poison Bolts. From that point on I made it my mission to fuck up that orc, it took several attempts but that moment when I finally got the fucker was incredible.
6. South Park: The Stick of Truth
   This is the only "full" game I've completed this year. I did it in just two sittings over the course of a weekend, something I very rarely do. This game does a great job of feeling like an interactive episode of the TV show and gives you seemingly important choices to make during the game that impact your adventure along the way. I enjoyed every minute of the game however I do feel that the game was a little too easy. There are enough mechanics to make the combat really good, however none of the enemies stayed alive long enough to let you actually use "strategies" to beat them. You'd have stacking poisons etc. but you'd never get to get them fully stacked or exploit that. It was frustrating at times and my gripes are something that wasn't solved by increasing the difficulty unfortunately.
7. League of Legends
   Yeah, it didn't come out this year but I've still put a hell of a lot of time into this game. I've been on and off it this year and it's certainly using a little bit of its charm but I'm still enjoying myself. I joined a "serious" team in the summer and had some of the best moments I've had in the game. It feels completely different playing as a serious team of 5 people rather than the more casual way I'd been playing before. It's something I want to continue in the new year and most likely will.
8. Diablo III: Reaper of Souls
   This added a lot to the gameplay of the original. It fixed a bunch of things, added some new stuff and overall just improved the game experience. The inclusion of things such as seasons as well as rifts just makes the end game that much less static which is very welcome after the original.
9. Marvel Heroes 2015
   Again, technically not a new game but it did get "released" this year as 2015 so why not. Not a whole lot to say about it other than that it's gotten me into Marvel. I've never been into Super Heroes and this game has introduced me to many different characters who I'm learning to love outside of the game as well as inside. Game remains fun and is constantly updated. Events almost every weekend help mix things up and it's another game I'll keep playing next year.
10. Dark Souls II
    I'm disappointed with this game. I took a couple of days off work to play it when it first came out and ended up not playing it a whole lot during that time. I've not finished it and haven't even played it since April. The game just feels a bit aimless and forgettable which is unfortunate. The gameplay is there and the game isn't bad by any means it's just a fairly big let down considering how amazing Dark Souls was. In the first couple of hours of the game I killed 5 bosses with a crappy broken dagger (because I went the "wrong" way and didn't unlock the blacksmith to fix it) without dying. There's no way that should happen in Souls game.

I've got a whole bunch of games from this year I still want to play, some of which I have and just haven't got around to or things I don't even own yet. It'll be interesting to see if I go further down the route of mostly playing games that you can't "beat" or if I'll swing back the other way.
