2014 was quite a year. Many things happened, many things I learned. Now is not the time to talk about that. Now is the time to reflect back on 2014 and talk about what I enjoyed best. Some of the items on this list were not released in 2014 but I have still added them to the list as I got a chance to experience them this year. Therefore, without further ado, here is my list of the best of 2014.
I was recently looking through my backlog of games I still have to complete (or even start in some cases). It was slowly but surely growing over the past few years. I decided it was time to take action. From this day on, I am going to start managing my time when I play games. This will allow me to spend my time more resourcefully whilst I try to complete games. I will do this by tracking all the games I have completed and all the games I own and still have to complete.
I count a game as completed if it meets any of the following criteria:
Not all of the criteria will be valid for every type of game. Some people will argue with my list of criteria and say it does not count as a game being completed. However, this list of criteria is for my backlog. Everyone’s criteria will differ for what counts as completing a game. This is my personal backlog that I am trying to complete to a level that will satisfy me. I feel satisfied if I meet any of the criteria listed above.
You can check out the games I have completed on Google Sheets.
So it is the end of another year. A lot has happened this year. I graduated from university. I created and completed my first (not so brilliant) game. And most importantly, I managed to keep my blog going for SIX months! That is a very long time, especially considering how many times I tried this in the past.
I have also enjoyed lots of stuff this year. Everything from books to TV series and anything in between. I haven’t played as many games as I would have liked to this year but hopefully I can change that next year. In this list I am just going to write everything I have liked over the past twelve months. Some of this is not new (some games I have enjoyed have been out since 2009!) but that does not mean I am going to exclude it from my list. So here is my list in no particular order.
