The bugs are back and the Earth Defense Force is needed again! This time instead of an all-purpose Storm One you can choose from one of four character classes specializing in various weapon types.

Threes! is a simple idea perfectly executed. There’s a strategy to it, and it’s the kind you slowly learn as you build off your failures as one game turns into another. As you swipe away more tiles are slowly added until the board is covered in tiles that may or may not give a clear path towards combining the tiles into higher-scoring matches. Swipe the four by four board and all tiles move together, with matching tiles merging to double their value. Threes! is a simple game that, once you play it, it’s hard to believe it’s taken this long for it to be created. Simple is good, and surprisingly difficult to get right.

There’s not much more to Goat Simulator than that, but the sheer comedy value in every situation made it one of 2014’s most entertaining distractions. Headbutt people, lick cars and get dragged around by your tongue, wipe out and flail about as the ragdoll physics go slightly insane, and cause as much trouble as possible. Goat Simulator isn’t so much about being a goat as it is about finding the weirdest ways to break the game’s physics as you explore each stage and unlock its bizarre mysteries. It started off as a joke, turned into a real product, and then expanded twice throughout the course of the year into its current ridiculous form. Spintires is a unique take on driving games, and the dirt roads of the wilderness a wonderfully challenging opponent. Admitted, it’s not a sure thing by any stretch of the imagination for even the biggest powerhouse trucks in the game, but with a bit of careful maneuvering and exploration you can not only survive but drag huge loads that weigh you down further across the unforgiving terrain. Fast cars are all very nice but they require a ridiculous amount of infrastructure to support, but the mechanical beasts of Spintires view the gouged-out mud trenches of the backwoods as good enough to get by.

Nuclear Throne is a complete blast from the first gunshot to the moment your corpse starts flying across the screen, and then you do it all over again only, hopefully, better next time.īig trucks, big wilderness, and a nice balance between arcade and sim sensibilities made Spintires one of the most memorable driving games of 2014. If you want to achieve the nuclear throne of the title you’ve got to be good, fast, a little lucky, and incredibly deadly. Even titans can be overwhelmed by the mass of firepower arrayed against them, though, and when hit points are measured in single digits even one stray bullet can be enough to throw off a run. Each of the mutants has their own unique passive ability and special power, and combining that with the level-up abilities and dropped weapons you pick up along the way can either turn your character into a titan of destruction or cannon fodder for the wasteland. Like a lot of games to come on this list it’s a semi-roguelike more dependent on reflexes and adaptability than learning level layout, and it’s willing to kill you dead faster than you can blink if you don’t learn its quirks fast. Nuclear Throne is the kind of big, brutal twin-stick action game that can break a gamer into a quivering mass of nerves and crushed dreams. While many did play the majority of releases in 2014, please remember that unlike our main awards, the editors are not naming the *best* games, but their personal favorites out of the selection they played. While the whole editorial staff contributed to our 2014 awards, we wanted to allow everybody the opportunity to publicly name their personal top 10 games of the year.
