2015 Game of the Year Awards — Genre Awards

The RPG genre has remained one of the strongest in gaming history. No matter what’s out there you will always find good RPGs whether they are Western or Eastern. A good RPG must contain a great story and memorable characters, but also must have fun combat and exploration and a great world to explore. The RPG genre may be one of the toughest to get right, and that’s why when they are they are so memorable.

Fallout 4

It’s not surprising that a heavyweight like Fallout would be the best RPG of the year, but it had a lot of contenders. Fallout 4 could have also been so wrong so easily but it wasn’t. Sure it feels a lot like Fallout 3, but that’s what we wanted, more of what we already love. So much changed in Fallout 4 that it felt familiar yet also so new and that’s a hard formula to get right.
