Games I played for more than 4 hours or finished in 2012

by cathadan

I began reflecting on a personal GOTY list would look like and I realized that my obsession with League of Legends might not even leave me with 10 games to put on the list. Instead I'll just list the games that I actually managed to play in 2012.

Showing 1-10 of 17 items

League of Legends

1. League of Legends

I guarantee more time was spent playing this than everything else in this list combined.

La-Mulana

2. La-Mulana

Guys, this game is so good.

Borderlands 2

3. Borderlands 2

This game occasionally frustrates me greatly by providing a grind when I just want shooting. Still, there's plenty of fun to be had.

Diablo III

4. Diablo III

I wouldn't have made it to 60 if I didn't have someone else around to drag me along kicking and screaming, but I did have a good bit of fun with it. Balance issues aside, the combat feel is spot-on.

Torchlight II

5. Torchlight II

A very different game from D3, and one I think I would continue to enjoy if I kept playing. But I didn't, so I don't.

Hotline Miami

6. Hotline Miami

Yes, the GB crew sold me on this game. It's rad.

Dustforce

7. Dustforce

It didn't feel like I wanted it to at first, but once I got used to it this game became a really fun challenge. Most people would advocate using a gamepad, but I'm keyboard all the way.

Analogue: A Hate Story

8. Analogue: A Hate Story

Christine Love returns from the mixed reception of "Dont Take It Personally, Babe" with a piece of IF that everyone should play. The exploration of gender issues prompted by Analogue has continued to grow as a conversation among gamers in 2012.

Nitronic Rush

9. Nitronic Rush

Man, this is the game I didn't know I wanted. And for the price of free? AMAZING. I was happy to contribute to their kickstarter for Distance. (Again, most people would advocate using a gamepad, including the game itself, but I'm keyboard all the way.)

Orcs Must Die! 2

10. Orcs Must Die! 2

Didn't play the first one because it so obviously needed coop. Here it is with the second one, and it's a fun little game.
