Top 10 Games of 2013
My Top 10 Games Of The Year 2013
List items

Rouge Legacy is one of those rare games that make you play way longer than you expect or even realize. I often joke and say it is the best Castlevania games ever while it shares similarities with those games it does a lot to differentiate itself the random castle and character traits and class make each run feel fresh and new PLAY THIS GAME!
-
Gone Home may not be a very complicated game or a very long one but what it does with that are very much to be commended.
I would recommend everyone play this game just to see how story can be handled in a game
-
Rockstar know how to make a game and how to write great characters and they did just that with GTAV it did everything I wanted with the next game in the series and lived up to what I expected. The new mechanics added a lot and the three main characters cured the series of feeling too long and filled with junk just to pad out the length
-
Papers please combined a lot of puzzle elements with a very political story while the tone and message could have been handled poorly it was executed almost flawlessly. Glory to Arstotzka
-
Bioshock had a lot to live up to with tons of hype that followed this game and the pedigree of games that came before it Bioshock easily could have failed to meet what I wanted. In the end it combined a great world both stylistically and thematically with a neat story to create a memorable experience. While the gameplay was not the reason I continued to play it it worked with the world and what I was doing and made me love this game.
-
Rising seemed like it was never going to see the light of day, after being scrapped and handed to another dev team it seemed like it was destined to be a poor game. The game we got was a face paced, stylish and challenging game that had what may be the best final boss I ever faced.
-
Saints Row IV Is insane, It is an open world game that trivialized the biggest problem in most open world games getting from point A to point B flying, running and jumping are so fun I never felt the need to get into a car. The story was so crazy and there is a moment that left me in tears because it was so perfect. It also had RIFF RAFF RIFFF RAFFF!
-
The Last Of Us creates a world and characters that felt so real and that was incredibly refreshing, the gameplay and amazing graphics made a very life like and stressful world. To me the story did not resonate as much as it did with others but the characters and world made up for that.
-
Pokemon X&Y is another franchise that seemed to be mired in the past, each game kept the same skeleton with new monsters and new town names. While a lot of what X&Y did to bring it to modern games is still a bit old compared to other RPGs it still added many things (EXP SHARE!)
-
Link Between Worlds changes so much in the Zelda style while still keeping what is core to the series. It hits a lot of nostalgia and fan service while still adding new things to what makes Zelda great.
