This year is just a top 5 as I missed many of the big releases that I know would have composed by 6-10 spots. I feel very confident my top 3 would not change.
(Missing games I know may get added in updates later in the year - Dark Souls 3, Uncharted 4, Tyranny, The Witness, Firewatch)
*EDIT* After Finally getting to Uncharted 4, it pushed Abzu out to take the number 3 spot!
The most addictive, captivating and feel good game I've played in years. It was also the perfect game to help me through a difficult time of family illness.
Not a perfect game, but it is a fantastic open world and contains some very memorable moments; the astrals! Also, while the second half really could use more detail and content I do not believe the game is full of plotholes. The story is there, and it is very good but it requires digging and connecting the dots like a Souls game and it is open to interpretation, but once you figure it all out it is very good and powerful.
A fantastic close to the Nathan Drake arc. Some of the best blockbuster style storytelling you will find in a game.
Not as amazing as Journey for me, but still very captivating
*Pushed to 6th Place by the later inclusion of Uncharted 4, tied with various others games*
The weakest aspect is the generic name.
