Games I Completed in 2014

by fakekisser

I keep track of all games I complete on HowLongToBeat.

However, I think the lists here at Giant Bomb look nicer and are easier to read through. Therefore, I'm going to keep adding to this list as I complete games.

Just for clarity, by "complete," I mean that I finish the main narrative or single-player campaign. I likely won't put games here that don't have a campaign, i.e. racing games.

Batman: Arkham Origins

1. Batman: Arkham Origins

Completed January 11. I enjoyed this game - more than I thought I would I enjoyed traversal more than in Arkham City, mainly because I didn't enjoy navigating all the flooded portions of City. However, I'm very glad that Arkham Knight was delayed until next year, because I would not have been ready for another Arkham game this fall.

SteamWorld Dig

2. SteamWorld Dig

Completed January 16. I played the enhanced PC version of this game. I had a ton of fun with it. I would love a second game, though I hope they can squeeze more puzzles into the game.

Device 6

3. Device 6

Completed January 26. This was a great game. I enjoyed it even more than Year Walk. I enjoyed the old spy movie feel and the interesting ending.

Thief: Deadly Shadows

4. Thief: Deadly Shadows

Completed February 18. I wasn't expecting to like this game much. I loved Thief II, and I was expecting Deadly Shadows to really betray a lot of what I loved about the Thief series. However, after realizing that I could play Deadly Shadows in first-person, I was pleasantly surprised by the gameplay, though the levels were small. I still haven't played the new Thief, but it is high up in my backlog (despite the mediocre reviews).

The Banner Saga

5. The Banner Saga

Completed February 21. I honestly didn't like this game that much. The art is gorgeous, and the basic story was good, but I couldn't get attached to characters, because they died off too quickly without first establishing good relationships with me, the player, and having more personality (voice-overs would have helped). Also, I didn't think the strategy element had enough depth. I am optimistic about the second part of the series, but I really hope they give more depth to the strategy. I just ended up frustrated and tired of the game by the end of it.

South Park: The Stick of Truth

6. South Park: The Stick of Truth

Completed March 20. I had a ton of fun with this game. It was funny and just a blast to play through. I really hope this does well enough for a sequel!

Liberation Maiden

7. Liberation Maiden

Completed March 22. This was a fun little diversion. I'm glad it wasn't too much longer, because I didn't love the 3DS control scheme. However, I could see myself liking the SIN version, so I will put that on my list.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

8. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

Completed March 30. This took me a long time to complete. I didn't like the naval battles until the late-game, when I had a heavily upgraded ship. I enjoyed the story, at first, but I got a little tired of the missions, after a while, because I've played every Assassin's Creed game and am getting burned out. I'm not sure I'll play Unity right after release, but it does have me interested enough to play it next year, at the latest. That still surprises me.

Child of Light

9. Child of Light

Completed May 11. I really enjoyed this game. It was maybe an hour or two too long, but I still really liked it. I didn't have as much of a problem with the dialogue as many reviewers, it seems. I really like Ubisoft doing these smaller games. I'm excited for Valiant Hearts and hope Ubi gets to make many more games like these!

Crysis

10. Crysis

Completed May 20. This was the first game I played on my new PC. I really had fun with it. I'm excited to play through the rest of the series, especially since this first game is seven years old. I want to see where 3 took the series, since it is still pretty recent.
