Ori and the Blind Forest
If there is one game on this list that was an instant GOTY contender, that award would have to go to Ori and the Blind Forest. Here is an indie game that went down the difficult path of delivering a game that not only had a deep meaningful story, but also some tight, truly fun gameplay. Moon Studios managed to provide both in spades as they painted one of the prettiest pictures in 2015 thus far.
Watching the gripping narrative unfold while partaking in the smooth, strategic platforming in Ori and the Blind Forest is a feeling that is unmatched by many of 2015’s releases. The sheer beauty of the whole affair is enough to warrant this game some attention, so there is no doubt that being a complete package in every sense of the word earns this game a spot as a GOTY contender.
