In the last 24 hours of the year, I finally got around to making my top ten list for 2013. As a special bonus, I’m including my list of shame for everything I didn’t get around to this year.
Yes, since I’m technically a video editor, I decided to do my top ten as a video. Here’s the barebones list, in no particular order, for those of you who don’t want to watch a video:
The Last of Us
Battlefield 4
Monaco
Papers, Please
Device 6
Gunpoint
Candy Box
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Gone Home
The Stanley Parable
Honorable mentions go to the two craziest games I’ve played this year, both with Leo: Tactical Intervention and Just Cause 2 Multiplayer
Bonus: The list of shame
These are the games that I know I would probably like and didn’t get around to playing, or didn’t get to play enough of this year:
Skulls of the Shogun — I didn’t get to play through this game, but I loved what I did play. If you’re into turn-based strategy, check it out.
Antichamber — I have a feeling this game would make me want to smash my computer, but it also looks fascinating
Payday 2 — I’ve heard mixed things, but I was never able to get a crew together to play. I’m still holding out hope.
Metro: Last Light — I loved the original Metro, and I really regret not getting around to playing the sequel
State of Decay — I don’t feel too horrible about this one since it was another of those surprise games that came out of nowhere, but I’d like to check it out at some point
Super Motherload — This game I really can’t play because I’ll forget to move or eat until I finish the game. I played through a bit and managed to tear myself away, I might go back to it to celebrate the new year.
The Wolf Among Us — I’ve heard nothing but great things about this from friends, and I love The Walking Dead, so I’m looking forward to filling the time between Clementine’s adventures learning about fairy tales.
