what's up internet kevin here with TLD now the year is coming to a close and we've seen a lot of really strong game releases this year and i thought that a good way to end it would be for me to list my personal top favorite five now this is not like when i normally do my reviews i'm trying to be objective saying what a game strengths are what its weaknesses are this really has nothing to do with an objective list of what the best games of the year have been these just the top five games that i've personally flipped my shit over and I've just lost tons of hours playing as much as possible now to be honest when it comes to genres I am definitely an RPG nerd that is the majority of the games that I personally enjoy and you will notice that most of this list does contain those three of the five are straight-up RPGs or at least RPG hybrids with the others having light elements of them now this list is in no particular order these are my top five games but they're not ranked from one to five and to kick this list off we have the obligatory mention of Elder Scrolls 5 skyrim one of the top-selling games of the year and definitely one of the most played by a lot of people right now I've been waiting a long time for this side of a big fan of the series ever since the third entry morrowind and this one did not disappoint actually found to be a bit of an upswing from oblivion mainly just because it was a great balance of well it did simplify certain aspects of the game play it still gave you a great amount of feel as far as number of options you had and where you could explore what you would do with your time now moving on to a slightly different type of RPG and a side of this conventional choice for a game of the year when my personal favorites was dark souls this RPG is definitely focused much more on just intense brutal difficulty in gameplay there is storyline and there is a lot of a form of narrative to it but it's not like your conventional game definitely a different style from Skyrim the game is focused on its third person action elements and is extremely brutal and civic ulti which is actually one of the main reasons why I love it so much you really kind of hate the game for the first 10 to 15 hours just because of the learning curve kicks you in the nuts repeatedly but once you actually get a hold of what you're doing you figure out how to play the game it's absolutely terrific it's a great feeling takedown big bosses because you actually feel like you accomplished something now as I mentioned there were three RPGs in my list and around out that I have Deus Ex Human Revolution which is more of an espionage shooter RPG hybrid the game is actually the third entry in a series that started up a while back and had a fantastic first century with a not so popular second one and Square Enix actually ended reviving it through I toes the game is absolutely fantastic it gives you a great number of options as far as how you want to tackle different stealth situations how you infiltrate basis and you really feel rewarded for how you build your character once you find these new optional routes in each area and not to mention the game also is a really solid storyline that is number of different branching points well the final branch point may just be one choice at the end there are still enough small permutations that are out that give it its own unique feel every time you play now to take a break from the RPGs one title that absolutely have to mention is portal to one of the best games of the year as far as both level design and just straight up dialogue while being a little bit on the short side the game has such great level design and some of the most hilarious dialogue available in a video game that's just one you have to play through even if you can beat it in about 12 hours total both multiplayer and single not to mention that cave johnson is one of my personal greatest heroes now and everything I aspire to be now last but certainly not least one game that I absolutely fell in love with this year was completely taken surprised by is Bastion now unlike the other games i mentioned earlier which were all sequels and parts of series that we've all played we enjoy this one is actually a brand new original piece that came out for the xbox live arcade and for steam on pc and it's absolutely gorgeous fantastic photo you that haven't seen my review or have yet to actually play the game you need to check this one out it's only 15 bucks maybe cheaper if you catch it on sale it's a perfect balance of visuals narrative music and just simple gameplay that's still very addictive it doesn't even take that long to beat but it's an experience that I absolutely loved I've already played through multiple times just because I have that much fun with this game honestly even those is an overall top 5 list I'd argue that this one could easily be one of my top two for the year overall so there you have it those are my top 5 games personal choices for the year once again these are not objective choices these are not the games that I think are the best may or the most all well rounded obviously there are a lot of really strong titles this year that I didn't mention stuff like Battlefield stuff like Rayman for platforming fans even Ultimate Marvel cozy that just want a fighting game listed these are not objective choices these are the five games that I've just simply synced so much time into because I personally love them so much so they're my top five but obviously a lot of people can have a lot of different choices and a lot of different favorites so what are your guys favorite swear your top five games you've absolutely just lost your head over this year let us know in the comments and if you
