![]() ![]() ![]() Valiant Hearts - Practically an interactive Franco-Belgian comic about WWI. NiGHTS Into Dreams - Very difficult to get into but equally satisfying when you do, a game from a time big-name developers still tried something different more often. The remade version of Butcher Bay is also more challenging than the original one. Riddick - The two FPSes by Starbreeze are better than most of the franchise with Vin Diesel's character. Ikaruga - Incredibly difficult but still fresh so many years after the original release. Kamui and RefleX - Old but gold shmups, among the first to show what impressive works the doujin scene could create. Wolfenstein: The New Order - Hiccups both on the technical and narrative level aside, it's an incredibly solid experience with fun weapons, mostly equal possibilities with gun-toting action and stealth, a level design that accomodates both, and many intense parts.ĬarnEvil - Despite its hit detection problems, it was one of the funniest things I played after getting back to MAME for the first time in a long while.Īstebreed - While too flashy at times, and with a questionable story, it's a fantastic shmup with mechanics that make it accessible to both novices, or people who want just to have fun and obliterate enemies, and experts looking for the best scores by using more strategy. Return to Castle Wolfenstein - Beside those bad stealth sections it holds up remarkably well, especially thanks to an excellent level design. Flying Wild Hog is a new titan of the genre. ![]() Hard Reset and Shadow Warrior 2013 - FPSes that give their spins on the genre, mixing old and new elements in fantastic combinations - I especially loved SW's sword and upgrade systems. ![]() Injustice: Gods Among Us - After Mortal Kombat, NetherRealm makes another bullseye with DC Comics characters - to think they started with a questionable fusion of the two franchises! On top of that, the PC version has all the DLC characters despite being released only a few months after the console versions.īioshock 1-2-Infinite - Although the gameplay gets progressively watered down, and Infinite's story jumps the shark, they're games that kept me glued on the screen until their ends, and then a second run of each, thanks to a combination of plots, art direction and fun situations at least, Irrational always kept the touch in creating worlds. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Very different from the main series (and the story can get as much as ridicolous) but still a fantastic action game, and the PC port is very good.Ĭastlevania: The Lecarde Chronicles - To find an old Internet friend, who already made some freeware games I enjoyed, after several years, and see that in the meantime he's crafted a great fangame (although the difficulty is really murderous at times).Ĭall of Duty: Black Ops II - This episode's single player turned out really good, especially for how there are variations to the endings depending on some choices that aren't always slapped on your face. Long list to follow.īrothers: a Tale of Two Sons - Short but intense, with the brotherly bond rendered even in the game mechanics. I also decided to make an "Averages" category because lately I feel like there's an increasing "black or white" attitude between gamers - a game is either a masterpiece or a turd, no middle ground and no discussion.Īs for my 2014, it's been intense like 2013. A game for the "Lows" category must not necessarily be bad, just that strongly disappointed you for one or more reasons. Inspired by a similar thread that was opened last year, this is intended to be on a wider scope than about only games released in 2014, just games you played over this year, regardless of their age. ![]()
