11 Amazing Video Games I Couldn't Stop Talking About In 2015

"Have you played Metal Gear Solid V yet?" - me to everyone I know.

As an adult, it's hard to find time to play video games. So when I game, I make sure I invest in experiences with a lot of value. These aren't all the games I played this year, but they are the ones I can guarantee will be worth your time.

1. I learned to be patient with indie roguelike Invisible Inc.

Patience is my weakest stat as a human being, and turn-based future-noir spy game Invisible Inc. punished me for that. Still, it was incredibly fun, with randomly-generated levels, punishing scarcity, and gorgeous design. The whole game can be played in about 6-8 hours, but I found myself replaying it in order to experiment with different characters, builds, and strategies. Indie games are difficult pickups for me at times, but I eased right into Invisible Inc. and actually had to take a step back because it took up too much of my time. A new update in 2015 made it one of my most played games of the year.

Available on: Steam

2. I got wasted in the wastelands of Fallout 4.

3. Metal Gear Solid V ushered me into the new generation of consoles.

4. Batman: Arkham Knight was the full Batman experience I've always yearned for.

5. I travelled to another world in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

6. Rocket League introduced me to a new type of gaming.

7. Project M 3.6 was my everything.
