GOTY 2014

My favorite games of 2014 (that I got to play)

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

The Banner Saga

1. The Banner Saga

Sadly no one remembers this game but man was this fantastic. It took a fantastic new spin on turn based combat, developed a creative world, had a fantastic art style, and well realized characters. The only issue I have with this game is that it ended.

Transistor

2. Transistor

One of my favorite combat systems in a video game. Truly amazing. Supergiant continues to knock it out of the park.

Shovel Knight

3. Shovel Knight

Probably the most fun I've had with a 2d side scroller in years.

World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor

4. World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor

What this expansion did for World of Warcraft is huge. Playing it almost feels like an entirely different game while keeping the core in tact. I know every expansion is "the best time to get back into world of warcraft" but hey it really is this time.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

5. Dragon Age: Inquisition

I've never been the biggest fan of Dragon Age. Mass Effect has always been more my cup of tea but Inquisition really sells me on the universe. The combat's not great just like the second game but at least I love exploring the world and talking to the characters. Man what a great world

South Park: The Stick of Truth

6. South Park: The Stick of Truth

Probably the best pacing ever in a video game. Hell I can't name the last time a video game that wasn't a shooter had pacing. Surprisingly well done.

Divinity: Original Sin

7. Divinity: Original Sin

I had a great time with this game. Just in general.

Mario Kart 8

8. Mario Kart 8

I've wasted at least two Saturdays just playing this game with friends. No regrets.

Dark Souls II

9. Dark Souls II

It's like more dark souls which is good but without the giant connected world. This game is totally fine.

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth

10. Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth

It's pretty darn good.
