Well folks, it’s that time once again: time to spend the next few weeks arguing all over the internet about the best game of the year. As for PopOptiq, we’ve already done our squabbling, the result of which can be read below.
There was a veritable barrage of excellent games released this year, from overstuffed triple Aaa bonanzas to a couple of games so indie as to be fully developed by only one person each. You’ll find both manner of games in our list as it follows.
We’re very happy with the way the list came out, and we couldn’t be prouder of the wide-ranging, exemplary titles that our team selected. We hope you will be as satisfied with the list as we are.

It’s all fun and games on this week’s show, as we tackle stories filled with war, poverty, time travel, and kidnapping. We kick off with our “What’s in the Box” segment featuring a review of French video game developer Dontnod Entertainment’s critically acclaimed Life is Strange. PopOptiq’s Games Editor, Mike Worby, joins us to explain how this somber, cinematic, story-driven experience is one of the year’s best, his high opinion shared and maybe even surpassed by Editor-in-Chief Ricky. If only there were happier choices… Of course, there are much worse games to play, and with that in mind, for the main event Patrick and Ricky discuss surviving The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, the latest and last entry in...
