Forbes: "It was hard to not be a little cynical about AAA games in 2014. We saw broken releases, lackluster sequels, and halfhearted sequels. Even the relative successes were mostly fine: game of the year mostly went to Dragon Age: Inquisition, a solid, but ultimately unremarkable RPG. Far Cry 4 was a fine follow-up to Far Cry 3, but it felt rote in the light of its predecessor. Watch Dogs fell flat, Destiny launched real weird. By the time we reached the second holiday season for the Xbox One/PS4 generation, I still couldn’t recommend any of my friends upgrade. Today, however, I’m playing Metal Gear Solid 5. And I’m feeling much, much better."
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

I am glad that we are getting great video games this year. In my personal opinion, The Evil Within was the best 2014 game along with Alien Isolation and Wolfenstein. The rest were just overhyped and under delivered.
Fh2 and Sso were the best games of last year.Fh2 should have won GOTY but we all know it's Impossible these days for a racer to win GOTY.
Until Dawn is pretty badass.
I thought 2014 was great... Titanfall, Wolfenstien, Forza Horizon 2, Shadow of Mordor, Sunset Overdrive, Farcry 4 (I didn't play 3) and Dragon Age: Inquisition were great games that ate a lot of my time - some of them still do.
Yeah, None of them were as amazing as 'Wild Hunt', but you could say that about any game, regardless of when it released... I reckon it's the best game since Red Dead Redemption.
Infamous Second Son was great last year.
