    I'd highly recommend WS, unless you don't like a challenge. It's tough because it's almost rogue like. When you die (which will happen a lot) you start at the beginning of the last completed stage. I think each stage has 5 floors. I'll never beat it, but it's one of my favs

    Well, here's my Top 10 list, not special order thou:

    Wayward Souls
    Heartstone
    Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
    Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall
    Crossy Roads
    Bug Heroes 2
    Phantom Rift
    Second Chance Heroes (Even if it was removed)
    CounterSpy
    Monument Valley

    And the biggest disappointment of the year goes for...
    Modern Combat 5 and it's always-online nosense plus the laughably amount of content.

    Great list man :)

    Admittedly, and oddly enough, i skipped Phantom Rift despite some good recommendations from friends. Maybe i should go pick it up now, but my one-buy/week is going to Shadowrun Dragonfall most likely o_O

    Me, too, though I do love Foursaken. I think the snail-paced movement speed I saw in an early gameplay vid unsold me. Did the Phantom Rift update really liven things up?

    Yep, the game feels WAY faster now and also there's items that increase your movement speed so you can Sanic your way through :)
    BTW: Thanks E-P! :D

    I have to completely reexamine my list.
    Goblin sword. That's why. It is a top 3 game for me, and somehow I forgot to put it in my top 10.

    Is someone going to make a huge list of good games from 2014 so you can add it to the op? If no one is going to do then I might. What would be the best way to organize a list alphabetically?
