    I think the UI design of Super Mario Maker deserves praise for how simple they make it to create a level. Just compare it to the experience of creating a level in Little Big Planet for instance. It feels like you could give Mario Maker to anyone with a rudimentary understanding of 2D platformers and they would be able to create a level with very little help.

    Splatoon, a near reinvention of the multiplayer shooter (can you even call it that? Multiplayer painter??)

    MGSV, open world Metal Gear. Granted alot of the missions repeat themselves but for those 1st 20 hours it was unbelievably enjoyable!

    Bloodborne - an immaculately crafted blend of level design, razor sharp mechanics and nuanced environmental storytelling.

    Crypt of the Necrodancer - a near miracle of genre-melding. A joy to play: thrilling, challenging, fair and nuanced.

    Sunless Sea - repurposing familiar RPG and rogue-like gameplay mechanics into storytelling mechanics is an incredible trick.
