Now that I have my Worst Game of 2014 out of the way, I think it is time we go into something more positive. This is my favorite game for the year of 2014. While it might not be the most innovative game or the longest, but it was an experience that I enjoyed literally every second of. It is a game that rose above the rest for me in terms of art direction and music and overall atmosphere.

My 2014 Game of the Year is...

Child of Light! Child of Light is a turn based RPG where you play as Aurora, a young girl on a journey that I will not explain any details here. The game uses a turn based battle system that is very similar to the Grandia series, using a timed bar to indicate who is attacking. There is a system of elements to us with your attacks and defenses, your trusty firefly Inginicolus to help time your attacks and guarding, and an overall atmosphere that pulls you in.

The best part of the game for me though, is the overall art direction. The music, the graphical style, the art in the game, it is all amazing. The moment I arrived on the title screen I was engrossed into the game's sheer atmosphere and story. The script is even all in rhyme which is a impressive feat really. All of the characters have their own personality's despite having no voices. The whole game oozes in beauty and I cannot recommend it enough for that reason alone. Like I said, it is not immensely long, at least for RPG standards and it is not breaking any major ground in its gameplay, but it is all still very well done and worth the $15 price tag.

Mine was personally Bayonetta 2, but I also really liked the Resident Evil 4 remake on Steam and The Evil Within (Despite its flaws and glitches). Smash Bros and Tomodachi are other choices for me (still need to play Child of Light and if GTA V was released on Steam already then it'd probably be my game of the year) :squee:

Hmm, I've been looking into buying Child of Light, but I've still been undecided, but if it's your game of the year: I might give it a go. My personal game of the year was The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, but Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Pokemon ORAS, and Super Smash Bros were really good too. :)

Hmm, that looks like a good'n.  I think my mom might enjoy this one, too.  I'm always on the lookout for more games she can play.
