Didn't play a lot of this year's releases... I only played Bloodborne,MGSV and The Witcher 3. As sad as that sounds....I haveve my zones that I usually lounge in....namely Borderlands 2 and Dark Souls. Been playing DS I and Borderlands 2 since their launch and haven't stopped. My multiplayer game is SMITE.
So from what I've played this year..
Best:
1. The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
2. Bloodborne
3. Metal Gear Solid V
Worst:
I usually make sure before I just buy a game..so I don't get bad games all that often...I don't have enough money to waste on experimentation.
But I did find MGS V somewhat disappointing...not because it was bad....but because it could have been exponentially better.
The Witcher 3 is definitely the most impressive...I'm still playing it... and plan to go into NG+. Also I got the game a few weeks ago..
Bloodborne was refreshing in a weird way...since the Souls formula is used.. I could easily grasp the mechanics but because I've played the Souls' series since 2011.. I guess Bloodborne wasn't as hard as it would have been for a beginner. Also the faster combat brought in some welcome fluidity that also made it enjoyable and in a way, easier. I'd honestly like to see a slower hybrid of this combat in DSIII. Fast combat is great but only in Bloodborne.. Dark Souls definitely needs more variety since the builds can go from tank all the way to "assassin" style that would require more Bloodborne style combat.
I just got Just Cause 3 and so far I can already tell that it's story will be somewhat average and obviously not the focus of the game.. The game is fun..to put it simple. Just gliding with the wing suit over the fields of flowers and towns of the Mediterranean open world is enough to satisfy me... and there are plenty of stuff to destroy. It's clear that the game has a unique quality...It most likely won't be as good as the above mentioned but...I think that if you like some mindless chaos..it's an essential game.
