1. Child of Light (Incredible art style, awe inspiring music*, and a simple yet always engaging and fun battle system. My most pleasant surprise of the year.)
2. Shovel Knight (Amazing level design, super tight controls, super catchy music, fun boss battles, and old school yet filled-with-love art style.)
3. Guacamelee (Great graphical style, solid music, easy to play and satisfying to master combat, fun story, an awesome MetroidVania inspired game design.)

*Seriously, buy the soundtrack by Coeur de Pirate. *swoon*

Does the Mario Kart 8 DLC count? If so, it's that.

Thanks for all the great memories!

Shovel Knight was bloody amazing...

I voted Shovel Knight because somehow you forgot The Letter on that list.

And Jett Tailfin, and Spikey Walls. What was I thinking when I made that darn poll? :P



There's a shit ton of great ones, but Shovel Knight takes it. Guacamelee was great too, and Child of Light. Steamworld Dig I only played on 3DS but that was a lot of fun too. Swapper looks good, but I've yet to play it.

Sorry Aurora, but shovel knight is going to take this one.

It's well worth it; excellent puzzler/Metroidvania with great atmosphere, problem solving and story.
