Best and worst games of 2015 so far

2015 has been a great year for gaming thus far.

We have had some spectacular experiences like Ori and The Blind Forest, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, and Evolve.

But there have also been games that, well, sort of suck in terms of replayability, overall appeal, and value for money.

Here are the best and worst of 2015 so far.

Note: All scores are based off Metacritic, with at least 5 reputable reviews per title.
