Best Games of 2015

NXTO's catalog has 848 games released in 2015. These 30 rank highest once player ratings, Metacritic scores and Steam reviews are combined. The top three: Undertale, Ori and the Blind Forest and The Room Three.

How it's ranked: a blend of RAWG player ratings, Metacritic and Steam reviews, adjusted so games with very few ratings can't outrank well-proven ones. Times are average player-reported playtime, so treat them as rough guides.
