    I have made the decision to just play everything in 2014, so I can be the only person able to make a definitive Best of 2014 list.

    Was 2014 just a really shitty year, or is it just me?

      Editing … It was shitty. I've only managed to rank four games, I played The Evil Within too but I refuse to list that piece of shit. Looking through the list nothing interests me.

      Editing … Even though I played/completed tons of games from 2014, the only ones that made it into my top 50 ATF list are alien isolation, banished,... velocity 2x... and monument valley.

    Diablo: Reaper of Souls should be eligible, it's an expansion, but so is something like Warlords of Dreanor.

    I'm emboldened by this page, 5 out of the top 10 are Wii U games. So much for the irrelevance of the Wii U.

    5 games from the Top 10 are Nintendo exclusives. Weird.

    Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is #1 now. Is this "▲+1" new? Never noticed it before.

    I'm surprised South Park is still #1. But I'm ok with this, it was a great game.

    Grand Theft Auto (8th Gen)? Might as well make 'The Last of Us' and 'Tomb Raider' available too, no? It just seems odd that I can't include games that were released outside of Japan for the first time this year, but I can include GTA5 based on my experience with it last year (if I were so inclined).

    The Walking Dead: Season Two is also an odd omission - Only the first episode was released in 2013 (December to be exact), leaving the vast majority of the game to be released/played in 2014. I mean, the hard copy of the complete game was only recently released.

    I know that this can get complicated, but I found it funny that I couldn't include quite a few games that were only available to me this year, but I could include a game that I experienced just last year.

      Editing … I agree that episodic games should probably be in the year of their last episode rather than their first. I also agree GTA V is just one game rather than two, I think just about everyone besides @Gries He does.
