gamrReview's Jake Weston: "2014 was a big year for Adventure gaming, with genre icon Tim Schafer returning with the first chapter of his long-anticipated Broken Age, Telltale Games continuing their winning streak with the one-two punch of The Walking Dead Season 2 and The Wolf Among Us (followed by the debut of Tales from the Borderlands and Game of Thrones), and Vita owners getting their own exclusive pair of adventures with the murderous Danganronpa and Danganronpa 2. Only one game can take our pick for Best Adventure Game of 2014, but lovers of narratives in gaming cant go wrong with any of the nominees below."

Ice-breaker.

Telltale Games must have worked overtime in 2014, delivering four seasons of episodes from Tales from the Borderlands, The Walking Dead Season 2, The Wolf Among Us, and finally Game of Thrones at the tail end of the year. The concern that the developers are stretching itself thin and rushing Game of Thrones to hit the holiday season in early December is valid enough to raise an eyebrow. Fortunately, this first episode in a planned series of six delivers a satisfactory narrative that pairs well as a companion to the acclaimed HBO drama, though its illusion of choice is relatively thin despite the game's opening claim that the story adapts to your decisions.

Chaz at Twinfinite writes, "Among the boom of indie games, there's one theme that seems to come up more than any other - the idea of games as art. Bliss presents a simply stated case, with a slow, dreamlike play style, aesthetic, and soundtrack. Nominally a game exploring the stages of grief through a wordless story, it's a simple yet largely effective platforming puzzle game that presents itself without complication. Without so much as a tutorial or guide, players are tossed immediately into the tale of a shadowy figure wandering ever-forward through the memories of another."

gamrReview's Jake Weston: "Survival Horror fans have a love/hate relationship with their favorite genre. While we are no doubt beyond the Golden Age that gave us Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, and Clock Tower, a surge of recent indie releases has shown that the genre is alive and well. And yet, the genre has struggled in the mainstream AAA space, with the latest Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Dead Space entries all finding themselves more at home in the action or shooter categories. With all of that said, 2014 was a big year for Survival Horror in gaming, with Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami returning to the genre with The Evil Within, Alien returning to its roots with Alien: Isolation, and indie games continuing to shake up the formula with titles such as The Forest, Neverending Nightmares, Among the Sleep, and This War of Mine. Its easy to say that 2014 was the best in years for Horror, yet only one of these games can take our pick."

After the breakout success of two seasons of The Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us, Telltale Games takes their episodic point-and-click format to the world of Pandora. Admittedly, I was incredibly skeptical how a game that is essentially a first person loot based shooter could translate to the narrative driven format of Telltales games...
