Dragon Age: Inquisition

1. Dragon Age: Inquisition

This is what I wanted Dragon Age to be all along! In DAO, I turned the difficulty all the way down because the battles bored me. In DA2, the repetitive nature of enemies and locations annoyed me. Finally, I found a Dragon Age game where I enjoy the combat as much as I enjoy the companions and story.

Dark Souls II

2. Dark Souls II

Was it better than Dark Souls? No. Is it still better than most games? Yes. Am I crazy? Possibly. Do I care? No, I'm crazy.

Transistor

3. Transistor

I actually got tired with some of the action in Bastion while Transistor's game systems seemed much more interesting. I also loved the story built into leveling up your functions. I do wish that the narration technique hadn't stayed so similar to Bastion.

Nidhogg

4. Nidhogg

Nidhogg and Samurai Gunn are the go to games when I get together with friends to play couch co-op. It's just amazing watching two players rushing back and forth throwing swords at each other. Hail the Nidhogg.

FTL: Faster Than Light

5. FTL: Faster Than Light

They improved FTL and the new user interface on an iPad just works amazingly. I invested a lot of time into the original and ended up nearly doubling it.

Hitman Go

6. Hitman Go

I've never even played a Hitman game but this board stealth game was one of my favorite iOS games.

Hearthstone

7. Hearthstone

I hate this game. It leaves out details and adds randomness that stop it from being a great card game and the setting is obnoxious to me. However, the game held me and I still go back to it messing with deck designs. I just wish it wasn't so flawed.

Divinity: Original Sin

8. Divinity: Original Sin

I still need to get back into Divinity but I do like the idea of playing a party fantasy game again. However, it didn't keep my attention compared to Dragon Age Inquisition.

Wolfenstein: The New Order

9. Wolfenstein: The New Order

Maybe it was just the PS4 version of this game but the FPS part felt off. However, it was an interesting game and the cut scenes were some of the most cinematic scenes I've seen in awhile. I also wish that stealth was more of an option in the game.

Destiny

10. Destiny

It's a good game in a bad game in a good game. It's game as a damned koan. The only reason I played this as long as I did was due to was due to a lack of a new game to interest me and the community of my friends that I enjoyed playing co-op with. There's something there but I doubt I'll get back into the game until Destiny 2.
