![]() Based on the Jules Verne novel of the same (if slightly longer) name, 80 Days puts you in the well-worn shoes of Passepartout, the dutiful valet, suitcase organiser, purse keeper and general trip planner for the esteemed Phileas Fogg, the latter of whom has made that classic bet of being able to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days or less. But deep down in my heart of hearts, I know Inkle's round-the-world text adventure is the right choice. Katharine: I suffered severe emotional turmoil picking 80 Days over some of my other 2015 PC faves for this month's Time Capsule, (here's to you, Kalimba and Ori And The Blind Forest, it's been real). Between hunting for the ghost of Mount Gordo, documenting alien murals around Mt Chiliad and more, GTA Online renewed that buzz we had while hunting for the mythical Ratman in GTA IV, and it made for some very fond memories.Ĩ0 Days Image credit: Inkle Developer: Inkle It’s a playground filled with things to do, and me and my pals had a great time getting lost in its many myths. ![]() Of course, GTA V is a two-part package, and GTA Online has everything you could ask for. I still remember waking up early to complete the Jewellery Store Heist before school, like a goblin craving some chaos before being thrown into the pits of Catholic education. That’s a long time, but the memory of my initial playthrough hasn’t faded. Hayden: Sometimes I think I don’t like GTA V, but I’d probably feel the same way about anything after playing it on and off again for almost 10 years. Grand Theft Auto V Developer: Rockstar North Highly intuitive, incredibly rewarding, and unfathomably deep, Rocket League is absolutely perfect at what it sets out to do. I played for another 500 hours after that before finally the advent of the battle royale genre started to snatch away my attention. ![]() By my 500th hour, I was a Grand Champion - the highest rank in the game. I was able to start doing reverse aerials, wall-pinches, dainty redirects, and all the other things that you can coax your rocket-powered car to do once you've learnt how. After the first hundred or so hours (a tiny amount of time when it comes to deep competitive esports), everything just clicked. I don't think I ever got as good at another game as I got at Rocket League. All you need is four words - "it's football with cars" - and you're ready to sit back and enjoy some spectacular acrobatic plays. There are no huge on-boarding videos, you don't need someone at your shoulder explaining everything that's happening on-screen. From a spectator's point of view, it's perfect. Ollie: Rocket League is still the finest competitive game ever made. Let us know which game you'd save from the heatdeath of the universe in the comments below.

They will (hopefully) be games that hold important lessons for the future, whether that's being an exemplary example of their respective genre, or just, you know, too gosh-darned good to consign to the digital doom shredder. The RPS Time Capsule is also not intended to be a definitive best games of the year list - it's simply a collection of our personal faves, and ones we'd want to save in the event of some probably not at all inevitable apocalypse. It's also this particular version of a game we're recommending as well, which is why you might see certain games absent from their original release year if they've had a shiny new remaster or remake recently. Come and see what's transcended to the higher plane of Capsule existence.Īs always, we're going by the year of a game's PC release, not when they might have come out on consoles years earlier. The year is 2015, folks, and cor, has there ever been a better year for video games? Of course, with only 11 slots to fill in our RPS Time Capsule, it also means we're having to say goodbye to some real gems. But fear not! Our written repository of games we've deemed worthy of saving from the eternal hell bin of the future has returned, and this time it's a good 'un. How time flies, eh? We were so busy putting together The RPS 100 last month (including the first ever Reader Edition), that we clean ran out of time to do another RPS Time Capsule.
