HC's Top 5 Best Games of 2013:
1. The Last of Us- Terrific gameplay, Beautiful settings, and an ending that will twist your soul, The Last of Us is my Game of the Year. I came into it expecting Uncharted, and I left with a much better game, and a much deeper story than Uncharted has ever had.
2. Assassins Creed 4- To be blunt, the story is barely better than Revalations and 3, but the gameplay is far more satisfying than it has ever been in Assassin's Creed. The naval battles are great fun, if a little underwhelming, and the monetary system and shipping missions finally have a point other than increasing your wealth. No regret on this purchase.
3. Grand Theft Auto 5- I don't feel any need to justify this game. It's hd GTA, with a free online system, enough said.
4. Guacamelee- I bought this simply because I was bored and ended up playing it to completion without ever switching to another game. Despite the rather bland enemies, the deep gameplay and odd humor of this game make it one of the best indies to come out in years.
5. Rayman Legends- The only reason this game isn't higher on the list is because I don't like the murphy missions. A beautiful game that proves platforming isn't dead, Rayman Legends should be in everyone's library. The musical levels are a treat.
HC's Top 5 most disappointing games of 2013:
1. Remember me- Beautiful graphics can't compensate for extremely linear gameplay that tries, and completely fails, to capture the combat from the Arkham series. Plagued also by a bland story and a non interactive world, Remember me will soon be forgot.
2. Dynasty Warriors 8- From the gameplay to the graphics to the level design, Dynasty Warriors 8 adds absolutely nothing to the series beyond DW7.
3. Ratchet and Clank, Full Frontal Assault- A very short, and very repetitive entry into the Ratchet and Clank series. The Vita version is nigh unplayable. The only good thing about this game is that early adopters were given a free copy of deadlocked HD
4. Contrast- An interesting puzzle concept that fails to live up to the expectations. Short, repetitive, and with bland puzzles. Contrast wont leave an imprint on your mind. At least it's free right?
5. Dead Island Riptide- If it weren't for slightly better textures and a few new weapons, DIR would be next to DW8 on this list, for it adds nothing to the franchise that couldn't have been accomplished by a story DLC.
