GotY 2014

by benpack

These are the best games that mostly came out in 2014 according to me.

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Lethal League

1. Lethal League

Lethal League is an amazing complex fighting game that can be approached by anyone. On the surface it seems like Divekick, but playing it months later I have found it to be one of the most rewarding games I've put time into in a while.

Street Fighter IV

2. Street Fighter IV

Ultra Street Fighter IV is a fun game to watch, but I didn't put nearly as much time in to it as I did any other version. Omega Mode coming in as free DLC is enough for me to include it on my list.

Payday 2

3. Payday 2

This was a lot lower but I unlocked an anime mask for my robber last night so now it's here.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

4. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

I didn't like any of the Arkham games, but I love this quite a bit. Maybe it's because Batman sucks.

Shovel Knight

5. Shovel Knight

One of the only retro Capcom-style throwbacks that I've loved as much as the games it was trying to remind you of.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/Nintendo 3DS

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

The new smash is good. It's not my favorite Smash Bros, but I'll take a decent smash over most other games.

Threes!

7. Threes!

This game is fun and I wish I played it more.

Hearthstone

8. Hearthstone

This game was alright and helped me get into my true Game of the Year, Android Netrunner.

Buck Bumble

9. Buck Bumble

I replayed this and it's great just for the theme song alone. Look it up and let me know how right I am.

Dota 2

10. Dota 2

I wish I didn't play Dota at all this year but I did so it's on here.
