Sunset Overdrive successfully melds great gameplay, a good story, abject craziness, fourth wall breaking, and energy drinks into the best overall package of 2014. Probably the funniest game I have played in quite a while. They were wrong about one thing though, I loved the original ending.
-
The Wolf Among Us succeeds in many areas where the Walking Dead failed for me. The decisions seemed to have more weight to them without the specter of death hanging over all of them. The story had interesting twists and turns, however being tied to the Comic’s canon probably keeps it from my top spot because it handcuffed them in some of the things the story could do.
-
Bioware does it again. Now bring on Mass Effect.
-
Shadow of Mordor is probably the best playing game of the year paired with an at best serviceable story. The nemesis system is a weird combination of being cool but also trivial. The Batman inspired(stolen) gameplay still shines though.
-
This game made me continue playing just so I could see what crazy thing it would throw on my screen next. Bayonetta 2 was an excellent action game that I feel I never got a true grasp on. I was having a ton of fun, even though it felt like I was just button mashing my way to the end boss.
-
Hey do you want more Far Cry 3? Here you go. I do wish the Civil War between your two primary factions was a bigger focus in the game. Taking over bases and climbing radio towers is still as fun as ever.
-
Just pure fun. Mario Kart 8 isn’t going to win any points for originality, however the tracks are good almost across the board, and the online play is great. The AI can still make you want to throw things at times however.
-
Valiant Hearts was touching. The game’s use of historical facts and pictures gave it a great backdrop for the somewhat unremarkable puzzle solving. I do wish the game would have avoided trying to go the action movie route and stayed more realistic towards the end. Also, the dog is awesome.
-
South Park’s humor can definitely be an acquired taste, however even as someone who hasn’t watched the series in years I still found myself laughing throughout the entire thing. The RPG mechanics are solid and the game would have probably ranked higher if not for the numerous bugs (some gamebreaking) that I encountered during my play through.
-
Trials Evolution was my game of the year for 2012 and Fusion just does more of that. While the new additions to the game don’t work out as well as I would have hoped, the classic Trials gameplay keeps me coming back to yell obscenities at my screen over and over.
