Bayonetta 2

1. Bayonetta 2

It easily surpasses the original in every way. Also, I am a weirdo because I think the story is kind of good, in like a batshit anime sense ofc

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

2. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

I could not stop playing this for a solid 4 days and I neglected a lot of important things but I'm not sad because it is seriously one of the best stories I've seen in a game.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/Nintendo 3DS

3. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/Nintendo 3DS

Seriously, 8-player with family/friends is one of the best gaming experience I've had all year

D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die

4. D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die

I WISH MOTHERFUCKERS BOUGHT THIS SO I COULD PLAY THE REST, BUT WHAT'S THERE IS DOPE

Wolfenstein: The New Order

5. Wolfenstein: The New Order

Super dumb, but also like super smart. Alternative history with dual-wielding, but also really well-directed cutscenes with some legitimate emotional weight.

Sunset Overdrive

6. Sunset Overdrive

The aesthetic is cool. Some parts were cringe-y, but like shit I've said cringe-y stuff in middle school and isn't this game basically like trying to capture what you thought was tight in middle school?

Shovel Knight

7. Shovel Knight

I feel like pretty much everyone understands why this works even though every1 is SUPER tired of NES revival stuff, but I'll just reiterate: It's tight like all the best NES games were. it brings in a lot of cool modern elements. The art and world is totally, totally rad.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

8. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

FUCK LOTR. FUCK ASSASSIN'S CREED. I haven't touched a Batman game. I like this though? The story is garbage, but the real story is how good it felt to kill Skog the Slasher after the tenth time he killed me, but FUCK THIS GAME'S QTEs.

Ultra Street Fighter IV

9. Ultra Street Fighter IV

This brought me back in and made me actually kind of interested in learning the mechanics of competitive SF. I'm still a scrub.

Bravely Default

10. Bravely Default

This game did a bad job. Perfect art, perfect job system, and perfect flexibility. As someone who has quit playing at least 6 Final Fantasy games halfway I can't believe I decided to go for the atrocious true ending. Bravely Second will be the greatest game ever if they don't cock up the pacing. -PS- Persona Q would've taken this spot if I had gotten around to it.
