I voted for Destiny and Planescape: Torment.

I explained my continued support for Destiny in some detail during the previous round, and I'm more than happy to make the same case here:

I've explained my love of this game in some incomplete detail in this post earlier in the competition.

That all applies here.

But above and beyond that, for the specific purposes of this one-offs side-event, it's also worth noting that Destiny set the record for the biggest launch of a new IP in video game history. While a lot of that was certainly hype, the player base has been holding up quite well, hitting 25M over a year after release and even becoming the most-watched console game on Twitch.

Until the eventual inevitable sequel, this game is pretty much the archetypal one-off. It also happens to be a really entertaining game.

My second vote was a closer call between Torment and Bloodborne, but in the end I opted for the former because Bloodborne is a Demon's Souls game.
