Honorable mentions of 2013

by themanwithnoplan

Although these games didn't quite make it on my Game of the Year list, they more than deserve an honorable mention.

Showing 1-8 of 8 items

Rogue Legacy

1. Rogue Legacy

The roguest of legacies this year.

Tomb Raider

2. Tomb Raider

Laura Croft is basically a Lady Rambo in this. Really enjoyed the combat in this game. BIG BO!

Year Walk

3. Year Walk

Damn fine game with incredible atmosphere and lore. It's been years since I wrote down detailed notes in tandem with a game. The whole experience, and that's probably the perfect word to describe this game(experience), was pretty... intense.

Metro: Last Light

4. Metro: Last Light

I really think the tightened up combat compared to this first game was a fantastic improvement. The setting, atmosphere and narrative really enraptured me. More than enough to deserve an honorable mention

DmC Devil May Cry

5. DmC Devil May Cry

This was my first Devil May cry game and boy-oh was it a fun time. Completely separated from nostalgic letdowns and the internet shitstorm that surrounded it when this came out, I really think this game is rad.

Outlast

6. Outlast

Outlast really accomplished what it set out to do in my eyes. Which is to say, scare the hell out of me. Unfortunately, the encounters eventually became a little predictable and the last hour or so of the game was a little rough. Despite these minor critiques, I still think Outlast was pretty damn good. It definitely deserves an honorable mention.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

7. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

This probably should've been in my top 5 game this year. I blame the lack of any kind of war economy. Really though, this game is awesome.

Remember Me

8. Remember Me

I really liked this game in spite of it's aggressively mediocre gameplay. It had some all right ideas that I can appreciate. Cyberpunk Paris is pretty awesome.
