Game of the Year 2014

by monkeyking1969

My start of a GOTY list for 2014

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

1. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

The best game I played this year, that came out this year. Interesting new twist on sub-bosses and using or removing them from the game. Best use of an 'established outside of games' property.

Far Cry 4

2. Far Cry 4

I need to play this but it turned out better than most games.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

3. Dragon Age: Inquisition

I need to play this one as well; maybe, it should be #2 on this list. I think this will be the next game I play.

Alien: Isolation

4. Alien: Isolation

I heard this was excellent. Yes, I give it points for getting this property as right as people can these days.

inFamous: Second Son

5. inFamous: Second Son

Yes, this needs to be on the list because I thought it was fun. This might need to be higher, but I think the middle of the list is correct. In a year with poorly put together games this one was solid.

Child of Light

6. Child of Light

I should have played this. Aree you seeing I haven't played much. But, I'm not just blindly guessing, this will be on a few lists.

Bayonetta 2

7. Bayonetta 2

Won't play it, but I hear it is good.

Shovel Knight

8. Shovel Knight

I didn't play it, but from what I hear a very good little game.

Threes!

9. Threes!

People were playing the hell out of this game this year. It derseves a discussion and a place on some lists.

Transistor

10. Transistor

A solid game from Supergiant Games, but it was not talked about much after it came out. I would say Transistor was a better game than Bastion, but its made less impact since people expected as much from Supergiant.
