Easily the best open-world shooter of the year with a co-op mode that allows players to play the entire single-player campaign with other players, Far Cry 4В is enormously fun and boasts some of the best graphics on new-gen consoles.

I found it 'remarkably satisfying' and ' one of the best experiences IвЂ™ve had on PS4 to date.' The unique Nemesis system was one of the most effective gameplay innovations we've seen in years, making enemies far more interesting and giving death in a video game a cool new twist.ДЇar Cry 4В was one of the best shooters of the year, and while some found it too similar to Far Cr 3, others felt it took that game's excellent formula and improved upon it, tightening up gameplay and improving the story and characters. Instead we got an action-adventure title that makes Assassin's Creed look simplistic by comparison. Early previews made the game look a bit like an Assassin's CreedВ with orcs. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was, in many ways, the year's dark horse. Lots to love in this challenging, dark RPG, even if it fell short of the greatness the original Dark Souls and Demon's SoulsВ achieved.ДЇour gamesВ receivedВ a Silver Medal for 2014. The DLC trilogy was even better than the base game. Still, it was one of the best games of 2014 in spite of its shortcomings. Forbes contributor Jason Evangelho calls it ' survival horror at its finest.'Дark Souls IIВ was a letdown in many respects, falling short of both its predecessors. The funky indie hit has been both a fan favorite and a critical darling.ДЄlien: Isolation turned out to be one of the scarier games of the year, and a nice change of pace from the last Alien branded video game, the disastrous Aliens: Colonial Marines. Shovel KnightВ also earns a Bronze for its retro 2D platforming goodness and extreme challenge.

'It just needs to focus on a few more lingering problems before it can reach its true potential as the series everyone dreamed it would be.' ' Mechanically, visually and conceptually, itвЂ™s nothing other than phenomenal,' writes Forbes contributor Paul Tassi. Nonetheless, many here at Forbes and the world over have gained an unhealthy addiction to the game. Praised for its tight shooting mechanics, DestinyВ also faced criticism for its repetitiveness and lack of a compelling story mode. I called it ' the hit BioWare needed.' Time will tell if that's the case.Д«ungie's return to video games after leaving the Halo franchise is even more controversial. Some love it, some hate it, but there's no denying that for all its flaws InquisitionВ is a tremendously ambitious video game. It may be the best thing the EA-owned developer has produced in years, but it's also split fans down the middle. In terms of a 'point' system, the Game of the Year was on nearly everyone's 'Best Games' list Gold medals have the equivalent of about 4 votes Silver 3 and Bronze 2.Дragon Age: Inq uisition is a controversial entry in BioWare's fantasy RPG saga. Again, this is because I believe that while you can say Game A is objectively better designed than Game B, it's much harder to say well-made Shooter A is better than well-made Racer B. Instead, there is a Game of the Year, then three tiers of 'best games'-Gold, Silver, and Bronze-with a handful ofВ games in each bracket.

I then looked at the quality of the releases of these games, from launch issues to bugs to the tightness of the mechanics in each game on the list, and weighted them accordingly.ДЇinally, I disagree with the concept of placing each of these games in a best-to-worst style Top 10 list. For instance, some of our writers did not play any Wii U games this year, which meant fewer votes went to some of the best games of the year. I then look as objectively as possible at the quality of these titles and the number of contributors playing on each platform. Our video game contributorsВ have each come up with ten (or so) best titles of the year, andВ I've taken a tally.
