Undertale - 40 points
Really successfully deconstructs the elements that make an RPG and turn it into something memorable, original, and thought-provoking. The pay off at the end of the game is incredibly worthwhile. Great music, varied game play, quirky characters. It is also an RPG-shmup hybrid which is just strange to say out loud but it makes sense once you play it.
Super Mario Maker - 40 points
Make levels. Play your friend's levels. Leave Abby and Mark comments on the difficulty of their levels. Also Nintendo has been doing a great job supporting the game with their updates. Pretty much a dream come true for anyone who played Mario growing up. I used to draw level designs on graph paper.

The only match 3 game I've ever played. Good music, good game play. Thanks to this game, I have been grabbing more visual novels from Steam as well.

A cat raising sim for Android and iPhone. It's like having a tamagotchi with none of the responsibility. It's technically a 2014 release but got it's English language update October 2015. Seriously, try it out.
