[Question] The Gamingforce Game of the Year 2015: Too many massive RPGs - voting edition

I've been playing way more board games than video games this year, and there are fewer standouts this year than in previous years.

Monster Hunter 4 - 30 points

This made the transition from console to handheld surprisingly well, especially with the addition of the second stick on the NDS. Countless evenings spent hunting with friends, and I did way more single player than on MH3. The post game giant monsters didn't hold as much interest for me, but I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Xenoblade Chronicles X - 30 points

Once you get past the slow burn opening, this is just as good as its predecessor. There's so much exploring to do, and with a less structured story, more freedom to explore the vast world at your own pace. Wandering around trying to figure out how to scale a mountain to plant a probe at the top is way more fun than it sounds.

Fallout 4 - 20 points

Had this not come out at the same time as Xenoblade, it probably would have gotten higher marks from me. Fallout 3 remains one of my all time favorite open world games, and so far I'm getting the same enjoyment out of Fallout 4. I'm not that crazy about the "build your own settlements" aspect, but since that can largely be ignored, I'm having a good time discovering the wonders of post-apocalyptic Boston.

Transformers: Devastation - 5 points

I haven't played enough of this to give it a higher score, but it nails the old school 80's G1 Transformers very well. You can't beat body-slamming robots by turning into a car mid-fight.

Rocket League - 5 points

Mo0 has played way more of this than me, but this was a pleasant surprise. Who would have expected a free-on-PSN game about soccer playing cars to be so good?

Yoshi's Wooly World - 5 points

I'm a sucker for the art style, and the amiibo interaction to unlock new color schemes is neat. It's a solid and beautiful platformer with all the charm of the Yoshi's Island series with no crying baby Mario.

Super Mario Maker - 5 points

Everyone was into this one for a month or so, then interest fizzled. Designing levels on my own has never been my cup of tea, but I appreciate the effort Nintendo has put into this one.

How ya doing, buddy?
