How this ranking is built
  • Games are ranked on the aggregated critic score out of 100 imported from IGDB and Metacritic, never on Tier's own grades.
  • A game only enters the ranking with at least 80 external ratings, so a single enthusiastic review never outranks a proven classic.
  • Community grades from F to S are shown next to every game, and only stated as a fact above 5 Tier ratings.
  • Release window covered: 2015.
  • 50 games are listed on this page, carrying 31,767 ratings between them.
  • Rankings are recomputed hourly; this one was last rebuilt on 13 November 2026.

01 Undertale A Undertale 2015 · 1,901 ratings · 6 Tier votes · finished by 27% A small child falls into the Underground, where monsters have long been banished by humans and are hunting every human that they find.

02 Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain S Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain 2015 · 1,188 ratings · 1 Tier vote · finished by 17% · 22 h to beat Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the sequel to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and a prequel to the original Metal Gear. The game has a complex story with long cut-scene sequences, but there are fewer and they are shorter compared to earlier Metal Gear Solid titles. Most of the gameplay mechanics introduced in Ground Zeroes are carried over: it is still an action game and stealth oriented but replaces the linear corridor design from most earlier titles with large open world environments that offer the player unrestricted freedom for the approach. The world has now a real-time day and night cycle and various weather effects that influence enemy behaviour, visibility and sound. Sabotaging or destroying certain structures can also influence other parts of the map. 96 /100
