Games you've played this year that you found FUN!!

I'm playing through Valkyria Chronicle now, which is a very cool strategy. Imagine XCOM with FPS aiming and anime stylistic.

Wolfenstein The New Order must be the game I enjoyed the most this year thus far. I would actually say it is one of the best FPS's I have played in the last 3 years. The overall experience was excellent. It had a nice story and solid gameplay.

Life is Strange is AWESOME, especially if you like Twin Peaks

Overture, pretty hectic.
Muri, nostalgic and cool.
Mirror's Edge, PARKOUR!
CS:GO, I'm not sure why I like it, because the only thing that I can do is die.
Tales of Maj'Eyal, Skyrim in 2D.
Bad Rats. Not.

Castle Crashers - Fun beat'em up
Kingdom Rush - Fun tower defense
Valiant Hearts and The Wolf Among Us - Both have a nice story

I'm playing Shadow Warrior right now. I haven't played any story-driven single players games for years now. Hell, I wouldn't even consider myself a gamer. All I played lately were arcade and multiplayer games but this game brought me back on track! Now I'm playing a few hours each day and can't wait to fight the backlog!

Orcs Must Die 1 and 2 ! :3

VVVVVV cool game, funny gameplay, difficult but not impossible, and superb soundtrack

oh god... csgo is my game of choice since a long time ago D: i almost play it daily for month and month and month D: and it won't let me go xD such a joyful addiction ^.^ 672.3h playtime and no ragrets :D

I've played both hyperdimension neptunia and enjoyed them a lot (and Im waiting for the third port coming this summer), if you want some jrpg, anime style game try it.

-Well I played a bit of Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare on the PS4. It was free last year for one day so i gave it shot. I thought it'd be really bad but turns out it's really fun. i don't play it much cuz i'm not into multiplayer that much, but it's available for PC.
-I also re-played Duke Nukem 3D recently and it remains as fun as ever. Only now it gives me headaches for some reason. And it has multiplayer now, though i haven't tried it, so that'dkeep you entertained for a bit longer.

Max Payne 3 got it during the summer sale and its great the slow motion is awesome

to many games because i had to much time and played in the past years trough lack of time not so much

this are just some:
Remember Me - great third person action
Valiant Heats - breathtaking
Contrast - bit short but nice
The book of unwritten tales 2 - awesome point&click
Evolve - ignore the bad reviews, this is awesome

Games I'm enjoying right now and that I find great:

1 - LEGO Jurassic Park
2 - Hitman: Absolution
3 - Life Is Strange
4 - Ryse: Son Of Rome

Thomas was Alone caught me by surprise. I expected to be a generic platformer but the simplicity, story, narration and specially the music just blew me away.
Another one would be Borderlands 2 which I am currently playing. Way better than the 1st, IMO. And I really enjoy TIny Tina's banter. :P

Skyrim is still my #1. Put nearly 200 hours in it and still far from done.

Talos principle is the best recent game I played. Best puzzle ever (or maybe on par with Portal) and it's such a philosophical bomb about humanity, purpose of life, evolution, ...

I came back to Shadow Warrior, it's such well made first person shooter (more like 'slasher' though), very brutal and with funny lead characters.

Tomb Raider 2013 - best Lara Croft ever made. Enough said.

I just finished Deadly Premonition and can't stop thinking about it. If you are into Fahrenheit, Twin Peaks and The X-files, give it a try. But be warned, it isn't for everyone and the port is a mess.

I started PAYDAY 2 this april and, well, I'm glad I did. It's replayability is super high. Some people criticize the overbearing amounts of DLC and I basically disagree. A non-DLC person can get just as far as a DLC person, and DLC adds to the fun of the game but not owning any DLC doesn't take away any fun. It just adds guns (not necessarily better guns), masks, achievements, and an extra heist here or there. And besides, it gets super cheap during sales.

Also, it's not really a "game", but if you want to pass some time, teach yourself how to code.

EDIT: OH AND
Terraria recently released their highly anticipated and quite huge 1.3 update. The game has gotten better than ever. If you've never tried it, think of Minecraft as your hot stepsister and Terraria as your hot cousin

Kerbal Space Program
Wasteland 2
Prison Architect
Euro Truck Simulator
Civilization V
GTA V

Hearts of Iron 3.

It's a pretty old game (about 6 years old), but I've been playing a lot of it lately. It has a steep learning curve, but once you get past it, it's a very enjoyable game.

Total War: Attila. Decent for the genre, although it is riddled with dlc that should have been part of the full release. Playing in coop makes the game more fun ofcourse.
Project Zomboid. It is fun for the first few hours. However playing this alone would get pretty boring pretty fast as the game lacks a lot of content and immersion to keep you interested. Another game to play in coop to have more fun.
Sunless Sea. Fun indie game for that story&lore rich survival exploration game. This game is tough and challenging. Although not always in "fun" or fair ways.

Those are the 3 recent ones that I've played and had fun with.

Planetship. It's a weird colorful game with a sense of humor I love.

I would say Narcissu 1st & 2nd, its a visual novel. I think it has amazing story,you should definitely play it if you are into visual novels. Plus its free on steam. Also Alien Isolation but just a few hours,my PC overheats when I am playing it. I'll play it when I upgrade my PC...in a few months I hope so :) Its has very interesting story,great gameplay and very amazing graphics :)
EDIT: True,its not really "fun"...its a horror game ffs...but you should play it :)
