Action-adventure games provided hours of pulse-pounding action this year.
While we respected Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, our votes were primarily divided between Rise of the Tomb Raider, a timed Xbox One exclusive, and another exclusive: the PS4’s Bloodborne.
“Forget Master Chief. Forget Marcus Fenix. Lara Croft is the ultimate reason to own an Xbox One. Surpassing Crystal Dynamics’ franchise reboot in 2013 in almost every way,Rise is a stunning example of adventure gaming in 2015. Not only that, but it’s a very strong contender for my personal Game of the Year,” Leo wrote in his review. Foreshadowing for our final GOTY award, perhaps?
As for Bloodborne, I’m awful at it, but I appreciated it nonetheless. Not as much as you all seemed to, of course, and certainly not as much as Leo. Still, it’s deserving.
Stay tuned for more GOTY tomorrow.
