Zero Punctuation is a popular video game review show that features the fast-talking, no-holds-barred analysis of its host, Yahtzee Croshaw. In season 9 episode 51, Yahtzee takes a break from his usual format to countdown his top 5 favorite games of 2015.
Throughout the episode, Yahtzee offers his trademark snarky commentary on some of the best games to come out in the past year. He starts off by mentioning a few Honorable Mentions that didn't quite make the cut, including games like Fallout 4 and Rocket League.
Coming in at number 5 on Yahtzee's list is Undertale, a quirky RPG that has gained a cult following thanks to its unique storytelling and fun mechanics. Yahtzee praises the game's ability to make players question their own morals and choices while still delivering a satisfying experience.
At number 4, Yahtzee discusses the game that has become a phenomenon in recent years: Minecraft. Although the game has been around for years, Yahtzee is impressed with the new features and updates that have kept it fresh and exciting even for longtime players.
Yahtzee's third favorite game of 2015 is Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. As a fan of the Metal Gear Solid series, Yahtzee is impressed with the game's open-world design and the many ways players can approach their missions. However, he does criticize the game's convoluted story and lack of closure.
Coming in at a close second is Bloodborne, the challenging action RPG from the creators of the Dark Souls series. Yahtzee praises the game's gothic horror atmosphere, excellent monster design, and satisfyingly brutal combat.
Finally, Yahtzee reveals his favorite game of 2015: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. He raves about the game's expansive world, nuanced characters, and excellent writing. He even goes so far as to call it one of the best RPGs of all time, high praise coming from someone who is notoriously hard to please.
Overall, this episode of Zero Punctuation is a fun and entertaining romp through some of the best games of 2015, as seen through the eyes of one of the most entertaining and opinionated game reviewers on YouTube.
