2. BioShock InfiniteBioShock Infinitehttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/BioShock_InfiniteOpens wiki page

I haven't been that big on the Bioshock franchise but i gave this a shot and i found it to be a thrilling ride from beginning to end. I also enjoyed exploring the beautiful floating city of Colombia.

4. Batman: Arkham OriginsBatman: Arkham Originshttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Batman_Arkham_OriginsOpens wiki page

While not as strong as it's predecessor i enjoyed playing a younger, more rougher, Batman. That and Troy Baker does an awesome Joker.

5. Marvel Heroes OmegaMarvel Heroes Omegahttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Marvel_Heroes_OmegaOpens wiki page

I loved Marvel Ultimate Alliance and this is a perfect successor to that game.

6. Mass Effect 3Mass Effect 3https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Mass_Effect_3Opens wiki page

Specifically the Citadel DLC. This was a good way to say "goodbye" to all the characters i formed attachments to over the course of the trilogy.

8. Gone HomeGone Homehttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Gone_HomeOpens wiki page

Never have i found rummaging around a strangers house, peeking into someone's life, so thought provoking. It's also a nice nostalgia piece for anyone who grew up in the '90s.

10. Brothers: A Tale of Two SonsBrothers: A Tale of Two Sonshttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Brothers_A_Tale_of_Two_SonsOpens wiki page

I never had any brothers/sisters myself but i can sympathize with this emotional story. Also, the dual analong control scheme is very innovative way to solve puzzles.
