HOw is Fallout 4 or The Witcher not #1?
Rocket League is Ok, just doesnt have the longevity of the other two IMHO..

Rocket League has far more longevity for me. Haven't even bothered to finish F4 or W3.

Same here. Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3 are both excellent games and it was very close, but ultimitely as a multiplayer-centric game, it has a huge natural longevity and it's just more fun than anything else I've played this year.

Being fun is how half of my list was formed. Until Dawn, Mortal Kombat X, and R6:Siege have all been great for me, because I played them with friends.

Rocket League doesn't have a slow beginning and the risk of a disappointing end, allowing you to get into it right away for as long as you want. I've not encountered any bugs, and you don't miss anything by not getting the cosmetic-only DLC. And they give free DLC!

Having recently got Undertale I can completely vouch for its position in the list. I think it says a lot about 2015 as a year that so many "indie" games managed to make such headway.

After many arguments during our pod, I think we did awesome job on deciding. Let's hope this year is another great one.
