1 Lego Marvel Avengers
2 Minecraft
3 Lego Star Wars
4 Root Letter
5 Steins Gate 0
6 Valkyrie Drive
7 Call of Duty Black Ops
8 Lego Ninjago
9 Killzone: Mercenary
10 Lego Jurassic World

1 Lara Croft Go
2 Garou: Mark of the Wolves
3 Word of Final Fantasy
4 Oddworld New n Tasty
5 Minecraft
6 SAO: Hollow Realization
