Including the platform I played them on. Should be noted that I am a Windows PC/XB1/iOS gamer.

11. The Binding of Isaac - Afterbirth - PC

Isaac is the game I've played the most since it released. Rebirth brought more to do, and this brought boatloads more, some say to the detriment of the game's balance, but I'm of the "more is more" when it comes to Isaac persuasion.

10. The Room III - iOS

I am a SUCKER for these games, and this was the best, deepest one yet. There are books that people obsess over so much they have to hit pause on the rest of their life so they can finish them. I'm the same way with The Room games and their puzzles.

9. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 - Multi

I'm a Call of Duty nerd, and moreso a Black Ops nerd. I love the fast-paced multiplayer and zombie modes and this delivers those in spades. The campaign is not as bad as everyone says it is, and it's just icing on the cake for me anyhow.

8. SMITE - PC/XB1

The game that proved that third-person MOBAs could be compelling, and this is a ton of fun on the couch, controller in hand, playing with others. More action-oriented than other MOBAs, which serves it well, and great character design/approach, with the various gods across the various pantheons having abilities that suit them.

7. Dark Souls II - Scholar of the First Sin - Multi

I skipped this on PC hoping that a definitive edition of sorts would land on consoles, and this did not disappoint. I still haven't completely finished it, but I love every ounce of it.

6. Destiny: The Taken King - Multi

I had written Destiny off, then The Taken King pulled me back in, and that's not an easy thing to do. Great expansion, and I had a lot of fun running Iron Banner, Raids, etc. with Goodjers.

5. Halo 5: Guardians - XB1

People are bent out of shape about the campaign, but it's honestly great. And it happens to be the best Halo multiplayer ever. Period. If you're into Halo at all, you owe yourself this game.

4. Heroes of the Storm - PC

Shockingly, this might be what I spent the most time playing in 2015. Everyone has personal feelings about the MOBA genre, but I find the style of game to be fun, and Blizzard's iteration adds characters I know and love, their graphical/sound polish, strips away complexity in the form of items/runes/etc. and is a ton of fun.

3. Ori and the Blind Forest - XB1

Everything else has already been said about this game, and it's all true. Every bit of it. This is a beautiful game in every respect.

2. Rise of the Tomb Raider - XB1

It's such a good TR game that it's taking effort for me to not have an internal debate over it being GOTY. Graphics/environment comparable to Witcher 3, fantastic sound design, and a compelling story (though told mostly through discoveries/collectibles, which appeals to me and not everyone). Improves on the great Tomb Raider self-titled in every way.

1. Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt - Multi

Like a few others, I was not overwhelmed by The Witcher 1 or 2, mainly because of my lackluster PC gaming rig and my frustration with the gameplay. The Witcher 3 owned me from the jump, however. An incredibly satisfying open-worldish RPG, coming from someone who's not a zealot for either genre. Looks beautiful, sounds incredible, plays amazing, with a fantastic narrative. My GOTY.
