Best game you played in 2013?

[Josquius]

Not necessariy one made in 2013 but one you played for the first time that year.


Me: Sleeping Dogs

Judging by hours spent in Steam, Football Manager 2013. EU4 gets an honorary mention for being pretty damn good from the very beginning.

Though I think I was most impressed with Far Cry 3 this year, but FPS games never keep their replay value for me.

A few good ones. Bioshock Infinite is the only game in recent memory that I played through three times in a row. But there were others, as well. Two of my favorites were not so much games as they were interactive experiences: Gone Home and the brilliant Stanley Parable.

I'm also enjoying Hearthstone a fair bit (and I normally hate multiplayer only games). Trying to think of more when I'm home.

Nuclear Throne, Skyrim, and, somewhat weirdly, Shadow Warrior.

[garbon]

Skyrim, GTA V & Tomb Raider

[DontSayBanana]

Probably Arkham Origins.

[Syt]

somewhat weirdly, Shadow Warrior.

The game got good reviews all around.

[The Brain]

Shadow Warrior.

I played it in the army.

Games I played in 2013 for the first time and really enjoyed:
- Portal (seriously)
- Gone Home
- Tomb Raider
- Stanley Parable
- Starbound
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Batman: Arkham City
- Rogue Legacy
- Hotline Miami
- Dust - An Elysian Tail
- Pinball FX2
- Sid Meier's Ace Patrol
- Shadowrun Returns
- Bioshock Infinite
- Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
- Euro Truck Simulator 2
- Civ 5: BNW
- Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
- Papers, Please
- L.A. Noire
- Hearthstone

Of this list my top 3 would be:
- Bioshock Infinite (for telling a great yarn despite all its flaws)
- Papers, Please (for making the mundane gripping and deeply psychological; for me at least)
- The Stanley Parable (for analyzing game design and gamer expectations in a very hilarious format)

Starbound and Gone Home are strong runners up.

There's games I bought on sale but haven't played yet (Dishonored, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and others), though.

Papers, Please
I think CK2 and EUIV are both incipient classics. 
I went through an Alpha Centauri phase.  That's pretty close to my favorite game ever.

[garbon]

I forgot EUIV although I've stayed away from it a bit while they sorted through those beta patches.

I liked it, but what was up with the one date and dumping of all the ladies Jake !!?!?!

[Razgovory]

Probably Arkham Origins.

Game pissed me off to no end.  Almost to the end, I walk into one room fall into space.  I load, I go back to falling into space.  Since the game auto saves my gave was effectively over.
