Conquests IV: The Reckoning (Games I Beat in 2014)

by bobafettjm

Here we go, the 2014 edition of my list of games that I completed. This is the fourth year running that I have decided to keep track of which games I beat in the year. Every year my goal is to top the amount of games from the previous year. Last year is going to be really hard to top with 69 games finished. So this year the goal is to hit 70 or more games, which is going to be a huge feat for me.

As with every year I am counting games that I finish the story or campaign mode on, or whatever the equivalent may be. In some cases a game may not have a story mode, so I will count it if I finish every achievement or goal. In the case of some pinball machines (on Pinball Arcade) I will count them if I finish every standard and wizard goal.

Saints Row IV

1. Saints Row IV

(Beaten on January 03, 2014.) Here it is, the first game finished in 2014. I got this game for Christmas of 2013 and played it quite a lot until beating it on January 3, 2014. I ended up finishing EVERY side mission/activity/campaign. This game was a blast from start to finish, and kept surprising me time after time. So not only was Saints Row IV the first game I completed in 2014, it was also the second! I ended up downloading it for a free weekend on Steam and ended up beating the game yet again, and even finished all the side quests and collectibles.

Battlefield 4

2. Battlefield 4

So after one initial start on the PS3 and having my save file get corrupted, a couple weeks later I gave it another shot. This time I managed to finish it on hard. The difficulty, even on hard really was not very hard at all, but it was an enjoyable experience anyway. I liked the campaign in this one much more than Battlefield 3.

Spelunky

3. Spelunky

I finally did it. I completely quit playing this game when it was released on the Xbox 360 because I honestly didn't really get it and it just frustrated me. Thanks to Patrick and his Spelunkin' with Scoops feature I gained a new interest in the game. I still have plenty of struggles with the game, but on 2/3/2014 I ended up beating it on the daily challenge run on the PS3.

The Last of Us

4. The Last of Us

So when I originally got The Last of Us I played for probably about an hour or so and put it down. Then for whatever reason I got distracted with other games. Well when I finally went back to Last of Us I ended up being blown away. I ended up playing through the entirety of the game in two sittings and loved every minute of it. This game is right up there for me for contender ship of game of the generation.

Rogue Legacy

5. Rogue Legacy

Yet another great game completed this year. I ended up finishing The Last of Us, Spelunky (again), and Rogue Legacy all on the same day. Rogue Legacy took me over 15 hours to finally complete and honestly I had no idea it took that long because I was hooked on the game. I would say if anyone is wanting to pick up one of these "rogue-like" style games, this would be a great one.

Resogun

6. Resogun

First game finished on my new PS4 I got for my birthday! This seemed like a really great "smaller" game on the system. I had quite a bit of fun playing through this game and will probably go through it at least a couple more times.

Yahtzee Adventures

7. Yahtzee Adventures

A pretty dumb Yahtzee game for my phone. The game has an adventure mode in which you play through various people and variations on the regular Yahtzee game. Nothing to special and I did not care for the weird rule variations.

Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures

8. Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures

This game was actually really fun. I love the throwback style to the old 8-bit games in both visuals AND game play style. Not to mention the music is REALLY great.

Contrast

9. Contrast

Ended up downloading this off of the Japanese PSN store for the PS4 since I got my PS4 after it was no longer available for PS+ members. I had heard a lot of negativity towards this game before going in but I have to say I had a decent amount of fun with it.

Thief

10. Thief

Another game for the PS4 beaten this year. Before any reviews for this came out I thought the game looked really good. Then the reviews started to make it sound pretty negative. I decided the game still looked good and jumped in, but with maybe slightly lower expectations. What I ended up finding was an incredibly enjoyable game, well except for those boss fights at the end of the game.
