what's up guys Johnson here with TLD back with you got another 12 days of top fives thumbs up if you guys have been enjoying it but this time we're taking a look at the top five Xbox one and ps4 games of the year now I'm admittedly not the biggest gamer in the world so I'm going to hand it off to my main man Kevin who downright knows this stuff alright so before I dive into this list some of you are probably wondering why I have one list rather than two separate ones and the reason is honestly there's just so many multi-platform games out there both systems if I did two separate lists three or four the titles would be the exact same which to me is just boring so here's just a simple list of five games for both xbox one and ps4 and we're going to start with the one triple-a Ubisoft title to come out this year that didn't piss me off and that's far cry 4 taking and bringing back all the best elements of far cry 3 then expanding on them and adding new options made this game's core gameplay nothing less than addictive with flowing beautiful if the ability to easily travel of mountainous thanks for grapple hook and full-on two-player co-op or pre rail add on to that a story that takes it you're refreshing lee different thematic approach than three still offering a great cast of characters a psychotic yet amiable antagonist and choices that actually have some degree of moral ambiguity rather than just simply do you want to save puppies or burn down orphanages this is easily my favorite exterior and it did a terrific job of bringing that balance between reusing mechanics that work but still introducing and changing it up things to make it not feel like just another rehab now next up is the other huge multi-platform title to be on this list and also up and come out the same day as far cry 4 and that's Dragon Age Inquisition after the disappointment that was Dragon Age 2 this game is an amazing breath of fresh air and Walt interface and controls have been better for PC they've been perfectly optimized for a gamepad on a console there's a ton to do in this game aside from the main story including the usual containment side quests larger open areas that have their own mini stories and a simple but amazing crafting system that lets you outfit your team just the way you want provided you take the time to harvest everything you need add on to this the great story fantastic character customization and a great variety of dialogue options and storyline decisions and Dragon Age Inquisition proves itself to be one of the most immersive fantasy RPGs of the year it's not the hardest or most challenging game but the sheer amount of content makes this one easy to get hooked on now third up is the free roam rail grinding zombie shooter mashup of genres from insomniac games sunset overdrive throwing aside things like each story telling your serious character development sunset overdrive is entirely focused on doing over-the-top crazy mood while using wacky weapons to dispatch towards of eat the fries fast paced intuitive controls and most importantly just trying simple fun the game offers a fantastic single-player experience and the multiplayer mode to keep you coming back for more not to mention having pretty hefty character customization with a lot of gear doin law if you're looking for a game that jumps straightened the action with little care for seriousness or pump this is one of the best games come out here now so far all the games on this list have just come out pretty recently because of the big holiday rush but earlier this year we had some really strong titles as well with one of my personal favorites being the ps4 exclusive infamous second son easily my favorite infamous game in the series while the plot is now beginning to take a bit of its different trim than the previous ones the core gameplay has been perfectly refined having multiple powers is not only fun but the fact you change them by finding nearby sources rather than just changing on the fly makes for a really fun thematic approach to your superpowers it also doesn't hurt that the game's visual effects are absolutely gorgeous never slowing down the game's frame rate while still having some fantastic particle effects while revamping the game's core it still maintains the series position of choosing to be either an over-the-top goody two shoes or power-mad maniac with a great new fault line and combat that can be challenging at times while never being overwhelming or pathetically easy now last upon the list is the only digital title and only indie game title we have on this list it's the second game to come out from what is quickly becoming one of my favorite indie game studios supergiant games and that's transistor following up their first successful release basket transistor continues the trend is hitting several key points of design all at once scootering a beautiful art style one of my favorite sound effects of the year a fantastic but also unconventional story and gameplay mechanics that are simple at first but can be interestingly complex thousand of the fact is this game rewards experimentation with abilities that neat little pieces back storing setting in tow rewarding those players that take the time to experiment with the game's combat system while at the same time not really penalizing those that just find a place tile they're comfortable with and sticking with it gorgeous well written and a lot of fun for a much lower price tag than any big-name title transistor is easily s downloadable title on ps4 to come out this year and is not only one of my favorite console titles of 2014 but easily one of my top five games of the year overall well those are my personal top five favorite games to come out on xbox one
