While the 2nd part of the game was pretty broken upon launch, W2 is still the most engrossing experience this year. The sheer amount of quests (upon some I haven't even stumbled upon, even though I'm a completionist and searched through every area), choices- that matter!, consequences of your actions- whether you took too long to finish a quest or maybe you thought you were doing the right thing, but in the end you didn't- it is simply the best game of the year for me, might be the best RPG I've played since Baldur's Gate 2.
It really is an insanely close second- while the narrative doesn't come close to that of W2, the game is still extremely fun, and as a magic user Divinity delivers one of the best magic systems to date with spell combos and fantastic particle effects. If W2 is not up your alley, then Divinity should be.
Tons of people have problems- I'm not denying that. The game was broken at launch for massive amounts of people, and is still broken to this day for some- however thankfully I didn't experience any problems. Unity is a come-back to the roots of the AC franchise, and while the story ends a very shitty note, it is currently my favorite Assassin's Creed game- with revised stealth, combat and the new parkour system Unity delivers what's best in AC games.
I am very surprised at how much I enjoyed a short look at the upcoming Phantom Pain, but as a stealth game fanatic you simply cannot miss this. The tone seems a lot more serious than previous MGS titles, and while I'd love to relive the MGS2 ending on my PC, instead of the HD edition on 360/PS3, this is a fantastic stealth game with massive amount of options and routes you can take.
I really loved the game. Totally a sleeping hit of 2014, akin to Sleeping Dogs. If you're a fan of Assassin's Creed, you'll love SoM, and even if you're not- the Nemesis system brings just enough to the table for the game to be really fun.
While I still haven't finished it, I'm having great fun with it, whether I'm sneaking around outposts or chasing down rhinos on my elephant. :D
A masterful end to the Blackwell saga, and a lengthy one at that- at least twice as long as the previous game. Clever puzzles and a great story make this the best adventure game of the year.
I'd rate the game 8.5. It's the most MP fun I had this year. The MP shits all over the MP in Dark Souls 2. Nothing groundbreaking, but a great game nevertheless, I hope things improve with the yet-unannounced-but-totally-coming sequel.
I liked it a lot more than Testament. The deduction system is pretty great, I hope they improve upon it in the sequel. I got all my cases right on my first try though, so there's not much replayability for me. :D
While the mechanics were a little undercooked, the overall game worked great. The attention to detail and the similarities to the show were mindblowing, but the game started easy and only got easier, even on the hardest difficulty.
