Our last GOTY award for 2015 is the best game overall. Also our best RPG of the year, we award the gong to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
“The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the most grown-up video game I’ve ever played,” Leo said in his review. “Not only because of the confronting and frequent violence, its (both male and female) nudity, gratuitous cursing or endemic brutality. It’s a combination of these elements and an unrelenting look at a diverse range of adult themes that make Wild Hunt as confronting and satisfying as it is.”
Wild Hunt narrowly beat out Fallout 4 and Rocket League for the top spot of 2015. Congratulations to CD Projekt Red on a wonderful game.
So there you have it — that’s our list. What do you think of our choices, readers?
