For me, Neva.

I have a love-hate relationship with artsy games like Neva. The storytelling, production design, and music are all stellar. I actually teared up several times during the game. It’s just that sad and beautiful.

But art, music, and ambiance do not a great game make. Judged on gameplay, mechanics, structure, and content — all things that, for me, are far more important than production value — it’s merely good.
