Transistor.

And you're going to lose that bet in your sig. lulz

For me, it will have to be Smash Bros for wiiU! The graphics look wonderful, the gameplay is fluid, the online is good, the music is epic (over 400 tracks) and it has endless replayability that me and my friends will continue to play for years!

Runner up: Artificial Academy 2

Nothing comes close to Dark Souls II for me.
I really expected much from Dragon Age, turned out to be "only" a good game with a lot of content.

The Last of Us Greatness Edition for Ps4

Dragon Age

Even then, It's not as good as it should be (IE they put too content in it).

If they cut about half of the mediocre content. 

However, nothing this year really grabbed me except this. So at 30 hours into it. I can pretty safely say this is my pick.

Bayonetta 2.

Sublime combat, a wicked sense of humour, spectacular setpieces, and the single most awesome piece of fanservice I've ever seen in a game

(SPOILERS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHXxP3kHGlc )

There are few games I've played in my entire life that are as straight-up fun as Bayonetta 2, and fun is the reason I play video games.

South Park, decent rpg elements with a very funny story. Runner ups would be Wolfenstein and Far Cry 4. I havnt played every 2014 game I want to yet so it might change.

Forza Horizon 2 takes it for me (and with Dead Rising 3 & Killer Instinct releasing last year, FH2 won by quite a big margin too)

Far Cry 4, definitely. Same as FC3 was a couple of years ago.

Close 2nd: South Park, hopefully they make another one...

Far Cry 4 even though I didn't think it was as good as Far Cry 3 ...

It's strange how a lot of people are overlooking Forza Horizon 2 as it probably looks like one of the best racers in a long time and I could see myself enjoying it too so that's another strong game of the year contender in my book ...
