I'll make it short, or else I might write novels about each game.
1. Dragon Age: Inquisition (PS4)
Yes, it is that good. I absolutely loved Origins, and was so disappointed by DA II... But Inquisition actually surprised me a lot, in a good way. Amazing story and sountrack, great characters, beautiful, you can choose wether you want a real challenge or not, there a TONS of stuff to do... I mean, come on. 40 hours in and I'm only halfway through the main story.
Dragon Age: Inquisition is my Game Of The Year 2014.
2. Bravely Default (3DS)
After so many letdowns from Square Enix, I was really desperate for a brand new JRPG worth a buy... And Bravely Default turned out to be that game. All of you Final Fantasy fans should play this. It's brilliant. Great story, great characters, great musics, great gameplay... What else do you want ? Buy it !
3. Child Of Light (PS4)
I actually bought this only for the artwork by Amano in the Collector's Edition (15$). And man what a game. Ubisoft isn't exactly a company I love, but I have to give them credit. This is a pure gem. It's just so pretty and poetic. A must have in my opinion.
4. Super Smash Bros. WiiU (WiiU)
What can I say ? It's freaking Smash Bros. Of course it's awesome. This game is plain perfect. I don't really know what to say, it's simply a blast. In SP and MP. You used to say the WiiU wasn't interesting ? Yeah, you might want to rethink that.
5. Mario Kart 8 (WiiU)
We all know what Mario Kart is. How it plays, how it looks, etc... But yeah, Mario Kart 8 is really good. The best of the MK franchise in my opinion. Some might argue that Nintendo relies too much on old franchises, but hey, if they nail it everytime, why change ? It's still awesome.
6. Super Smash Bros. 3DS (3DS)
It's Smash Bros. On a handheld. Do I really have to say anything more ?
7. inFAMOUS Second Son (PS4)
One of the only PS4 exclusive this year... Kinda sad to say, eh ? But fortunately, it's worth the buy. Insane graphics, insane gameplay, quite challenging at times, nice story (a bit short though)... This game is great. Simply great. It has its flaws, but it has much more qualities. A must buy for PS4 owners.
8. Final Fantasy X Remaster (PS3)
Of course it's in my Top 10 of 2014... FF X is one of my favourite games of all time. I couldn't miss it. And it's quite amazing. 40$, and two complete JRPGs with new mini-games that are actually worth your time (and a few dozens of hours). Nice looking remaster, also, to be honest.
9. Middle Earth: Shadow Of Mordor (PS4)
This was actually quite a surprise. I didn't expect much from it, but I still gave it a try. And it's really good. There are flaws (the main character, or the story, for example), of course there are, but the overall experience is a blast. A solid GOTY contender in my opinion. Much more than Watch Dogs, Destiny of Call of Duty.
10. Fantasy Life (3DS)
A JRPG x Animal Crossing ? I just had to buy it. And I do not regret that choice. Looks nice, plays nice, a ton of things to do and of places to explore... It's a really soothing experience. No challenge, nothing really epic, it's just cute as hell and plays nicely. I had a lot of fun with that game. About 50h spent and I still haven't entirely finished it.
Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.
