Final Fantasy XV

Genre: Japanese Role Playing Game

I played: around 60 hours, finished the main story, loads of sidequests and a tiny part of the endgame.

Visually stunning, from the characters to the environment. Prompto makes cool pictures for you to remember every step of the way.
The characters' development mercifully steers away from leading into “boy band" territory - the four main characters and even their trusty car “the Regalia” have spirit and hearth.
The combat feels hefty in a good way, and it's occasionally jaw-dropping (especially against bigger bosses).
The game comes with its own amazing soundtrack, and during trips in the Regalia you can listen to a large selection of previous Final Fantasy original soundtracks.
Driving around the huge open world feels like a real road trip.
The summons look incredible - you truly feel puny next to them.
Amazingly fun and versatile dungeons.
Riding your own Chocobo, in any colour you like!

The combat becomes a bit repetitive, the magic system is not very broad, and camera and controller-input bugs subtract from the joy of flying around and stabbing massive monsters.
Difficulty spikes and drops at random.
The later part of the game drops the open world for a more linear path, which is a shame.
The story takes a big dip quality-wise somewhere near the end (although a rework of the chapter in question is in the making - no ETA as of yet).
