Darksiders II. I really had no expectations going into the game (I hadn't played the first) and the atmosphere/gameplay blew me away. Owning it on Wii U helped because of the gamepad compatibility; there isn't anything much better than having a detailed mini map at your disposal in-game. One of the best hack n slash games I've ever played.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Though it has it's flaws, the gameplay in this game is amazingly good. If you're a fan of any stealth action games along the lines of MGS and SC, this is one of the best I've ever played. Not only is there main missions, but there is also tons of optional missions that can really absorb your time. Highly recommend this game.
Assassin's Creed IV. The 3rd was my first, and I really, really disliked it. There wasn't much about it that I didn't find boring. The fact that the final confrontation with Lee (the "final boss") was literally just a prolonged chase scene, and that your confrontation with your father is resolved by hitting him over the head with a bottle three times, is just pathetic and underwhelming. IV, on the other hand, has been very fun. Traveling to different areas requires you to use your pirate ship, and the world is really fleshed out with random encounters with other pirate and navy ships. The main character isn't a whiny idiot, and the islands are beautiful and fun to explore. Also, the elimination of the modern day levels really helped with the story's flow. III felt like a jumbled piece of garbage, while IV has felt much more like a full package.
