The Witcher 1
First game in the franchise - worst gameplay, worst graphics, but still amazing story line. We will follow Geralt of Rivia through his journey to regain his memories in the amazing world created by Andrzej Sapkowski. Sometimes enemies will hit you without animations, sometimes you will cast an animation without hitting someone - but overall you will want more, you will brew potions, mediate and face monsters from east European folklore. Good luck !
The Wither 2: Assassins of Kings
The second installment into the Witcher franchise fixes a lot of bugs from the first one, but adds some issues of its own. Despite having to deal with abysmal performance even after the patches, the game is gorgeous to play and the mechanics that CD Project have improved add a lot to the gameplay. This game will take you to a story that is not very interesting on its own, but combined with the world created by the author of the novels and the characters that come to life on the screen - you will have an amazing experience.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The witcher 3:Wild hunt is an amazing final game from CD Project Red - which gives the players access to the incredible world created by Andrzej Sapkowski. Despite visual degradation from the previous demos and the fact Geralt is harder to control than a horse - the story and characters are going to take up a few weeks of your life, and you will feel empty after finishing this marvelous game.

George: Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number
More of the same pixel styled violence . The first one feels more like an intro to the game where as the sequel builds up on the mechanics and makes the game more difficult. If you love the first one you are going to love Wrong Number as well.

Final Fantasy X
This was the first Final Fantasy I did finish and I must say - it holds a sentimental value. Gama-play wise expect the good old turn base combat of the FF series, the story is Anime worthy, the characters lovable.
The Walking Dead
As a very big NOT fan of the walking dead TV series - this game rocks. TaleTaleGames know what they are doing !
The Wolf Among Us
Do not be fooled by the comic books - they are amazing, but the game is even better. TaleTaleGames Studios are amazing at doing good narrative games ! Unraveling the mystery will keep you wanting more, and more - but Id highly recommend playing full chapter, rather than waiting for each episode.
Hitman: Absolution
Sadly Hitman: Absolution does not prove to further Agent 47s story. The issues are many, from repetitive levels, bad level design, glitching AI, to a bad story, reminding of a bad Hollywood movie.
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
Fixing the issues from the first game - the story is more condense, without the need to grind. Focusing on this thou the story is fairly short in comparison, but the game is definitely bigger with all the side activities you can do. The world is even more enchanting !
The Witcher
As a fan of the books - this game is a very fine continuation of the story. Despite the story being very watered down by side-quests and mindless quests, the game is interesting and engaging, the world is something that needs to be experienced.
Assassins Creed Chronicles China
Everything bad from mark of the ninja, with the visuals of Assassins Creed.
League of Legends
Despite being a DotA player myself, I spent years and years in the League. I enjoyed it for different reasons than DotA and I must say I understand the massive interest towards the game. If you are wondering what you need to start playing competitively and have no previous experience with MOBAs - Id highly recommend league of legends.
DotA2
As an old DotA player I love DotA2, but I must say that it is not very friendly towards new players. Valve have expanded on the already existing concepts, and have developed an even better MOBA.
Batman Arkham Origins
Despite the bad reviews - I enjoyed it. WB kept everything RockSteady created in the previous installments and even improved on some occasions. As a fan of the comic books I found this game to expand on the already existing lore and kept me engaging till the end.
Diablo 3
As a player hooked long ago on Diablo 2, I must say - Diablo 3 is amazing. Despite being annoying and heavily influenced by RNG, I keep coming back every season. (avoid it on consoles)
Destiny
One of those games which will keep you engaged through out the whole story and in the end it will leave you sad and feeling incomplete. The story despite being very interesting, with interesting underlying concepts, is bad. The incredible characters you encounter do not have much of a backs-troy, and the world is not developed. But despite all the issues - the multiplayer is interesting and will keep you coming back. Furthermore, the weekly/daily/monthly events are interesting and challenging and you will make a lot of friends playing them.
Assassins Creed: Unity
As a fan of the Assassins Creed franchise, this is the first one I did not play through it on one go and this says a lot. Despite giving the players access to revolutionary France - AC does not provide the engaging story line of AC2/AC4, or the extreem visuals of AC3. The game does not improve on the back-story, but it must be said that the graphics are magnificent ... oh wait....
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
CoD:AW is the newest installment in the COD series. Old school fans will be pleased with the changes despite the game-play is altered heavily. There is not much introduced despite the exo-suit, the modes are the same, the dynamic is the same, the game is the same. The first day buy of this game is a must for people that want to enjoy a larger player base, but better skip if the first few months have passed.
Evolve
Evolve introduces a very interesting concept of 1v5. The lack of story and diversity between characters, does not defend its high price tag. On the other hand the multiplier is engaging and deserves the time. Achievement hunters will be pleased to know the game is mainly aimed towards them and there is a lot to cover.
Shovel Knight
For the small price of £11, i'd say Shovel Knight is one of the best things that came out in 2014. The story is engaging despite being not very serious - the characters are likable and the world is as interesting as the one MegaMan once made us hate and enjoy. Game-play is very entertaining and will keep you on the edge till the end.
MKX
Mortal Kombat X despite having a decent story (but very short) and very good multiplier - id say is meant to be bought only on reduced price for the sole purpose to play with a friend (and online, sometimes, for people that like fighting).
