2014 showed a wide and wast range of RPG from Japanese traditional to hardcore Western to dungeon crawling. It was a hard choice this year and was probably one of the strongest categories.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

Inquisition shows that a series can really be improved on and evolve immensely. Not only is Inquisition one of the best-looking games to date, but it is also the most involved and deep RPG available on next-gen consoles. What could have been a half-baked update to Dragon Age II became a completely new game more in line with Origins. A fantastic story, great characters, and seemingly endless amounts of dialogue pushed it ahead.

The 3DS is still going strong and this year there were many great games for this little system. Nintendo shows that it can still dominate the handheld market with its first-party games and a number of loyal third party developers.

Shovel Knight

Shovel Knight isn’t just any old 8-bit platformer clone. Shovel Knight does it exactly like we all remember back in the day but with a touch of today’s better controls and level design. Shovel Knight is very hard, but just the right amount of hard that only a few areas require constant restarts but they are oh-so-satisfying.
