1. Rocket League
Perhaps it was because it was unexpectedly good, but this game encapsulates everything I love about video games in one word: Fun.
2. Nuclear Throne
Seems like the ongoing theme here is games I did not expect or know of, but blew me away. I am a sucker for difficult, rogue like games where you only have one life. The character and weapon variation makes this a satisfying twin stick shooter. Almost my GOTY.
3. Until Dawn
Again a game I had zero expectations for. A game that harkened back to campy teen slasher films, but does so with compelling characters and meaningful choices.
4. Fallout 4
Great game that I have sunk meaningful time into, but it's fallen a bit for me. The dialogue system is a step down, the engine is old, and I am starting to think I enjoyed New Vegas a bit better. While I doubt Bethesda will change much with their financially successful system, I doubt I will purchase another installment without some new changes.
5. Star Wars Battlefront
Sure it's a bit shallow with its offerings, but man Dice did an amazing job with the liscence, from the graphics to the sounds. Not to mention that the gunplay is very tight. This game could use more maps, and unique game types, but I liked it more than most.
