It's been 10 years since the first Global Game Awards, but I wonder what stage of life everyone in front of the screen was at that time. In the past decade, the game industry has also undergone earth-shaking changes, with the continuous segmentation of the game field and the rising cost of game development leading to a reshuffle among manufacturers. In this article, we'll take a look at some of the classics that came out in 2014 and see who has tried them.
>>> "The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth"
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Steam 评价：好评如潮（263,555，97%）
Release date: 2014-11-5
An HD remake of Steam's critically acclaimed The Binding of Isaac, The Binding of Isaac: Reborn takes hand-drawn pixel style and visuals to new heights with an all-new game engine, redesigned enhancements and new creative designs that will bring players an unparalleled meat pigeon experience.
Despite its simple graphics and 449 MB of hard drive, Isaac's Bondage: Rebirth contains more playable content than players can imagine. Players will take on the role of the protagonist Isaac, who will be able to survive the battle against hordes of mysterious creatures, unlock different abilities through playable characters, enter rare rooms to obtain powerful items, and fight to the death against more than 100 enemies and more than 50 bosses.
With over 160 unlockables, players will have a wealth of buildable directions, and randomness will make every game unpredictable and fun. Players who like meat pigeons should definitely give it a try.
>>> Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft
HearthStone: Heroes of Warcraft
M station rating: 88
Release date: 2014-3-13
Another phenomenal work produced by Blizzard Entertainment. At the beginning of the release of "Hearthstone", the early gameplay of the game was nothing more than the value of the ratio of the monster according to the fee, which seemed to be the same as the early "Yu-Gi-Oh", but the powerful manpower of the "Warcraft" IP and the subsequent update content of the game undoubtedly made "Hearthstone" a hot "new star" at that time.
Players can choose from 11 starting heroes according to their preferences, and the class skills, core gameplay, and class cards corresponding to each class are also different. In addition to the abundant class options, the construction between cards can also bring different experiences to players, so Hearthstone has attracted countless card players with its low lower limit and high upper limit.
However, Hearthstone struggled with the increasing number of hours of operation, the loss of veteran players and the unimaginable cost of onboarding new players, and the seasonal rotation and the addition of Standard and Wild did not go any further than to improve the fact that its online presence continued to decline. However, with the addition of the new mode "Tavern Battle Chess", there is no need to build costs, and the mode of only examining the player's card luck and operation ability has recast the glory of "Hearthstone", and I hope that the national server can be launched as soon as possible, and it has really been a long time since I played chess.
>>> Dark Souls 2
DARK SOULS™ II
Steam Rating: Very Positive (29,682, 87%)
Release date: 2014-4-25
A sequel to FROM SOFTWARE's famous IP "Dark Souls", but at the time Hidetaka Miyazaki was working on another masterpiece "Bloodborne", so the burden of development fell to Shibuya Chihiro and Yui Tanimura. Unlike the grand narrative of the Souls series, the protagonist of "Dark Souls 2" is just a story of being tricked into spreading fire in order to heal his own undead curse.
In addition to the lack of grandeur and epicness of the story, "Dark Souls 2" did not inherit the three-dimensional map of "Dark Souls 1", which was well received by players, and the malicious malice of crazy monsters combined with a large number of uninnovative boss battles, coupled with the design of weapon durability points, made many soul players subconsciously expel "Dark Souls 2".
If you give up playing Dark Souls 2 based on the evaluation of the ontology alone, then you will miss out on its excellent DLC content, and it can be said that the overall reputation of Dark Souls 2 has been greatly improved by the content of the three maps of Molten Iron City, Sacred Wall City, and Esloyes. Not only is the style very different, but its map design and boss battles are ingenious, which makes every player who has experienced it satisfying, and it is recommended for players who like souls-like games.
>>> "Braveheart: War of the Worlds"
Valiant Hearts: The Great War
Steam 评价：好评如潮（21,833，95%）
Release date: 2014-6-26
Isn't this bullying honest people! During World War II, players will experience the cruelty of war through the perspective of Karl, a new daddy who was pulled by the German army to fill the line, Karl's old man Emil who was recruited by France to resist fascism, Fred of United States, who took the initiative to join the army to fight the enemy, and Anna, a nurse who joined the battlefield to save his scientist father.
The game uses a unique color palette and art style to reduce the impact of the battlefield, and creates an atmosphere of tension, urgency, and helplessness through puzzles and stealth. As the story progresses, players will struggle to fight the fear of war and try to find their way home.
Although the game is not at all Ubisoft's style, the Ubisoft Montpellier team has brought this touching story-driven work to players. Players will be able to follow the story and relive the classic battles of the Western Front, such as the Battle of the Marne and the Battle of the Somme. If you're interested in the history of World War II and the game's story, you really want to give it a try, and you won't regret it.
>>>《巧克力与香子兰 Vol. 1》
NEKOPARA Vol. 1
Steam 评价：好评如潮（21,833，95%）
Release date: 2014-6-26
Although "Chocolate and Vanilla" is not a particularly eye-catching work in Galagme's long history, the pleasing art style, the less lengthy process, and the humanoid cats that can poke at the player's cute point will all delight those who are new to Galagme.
The game process is nothing more than Shui Wuyue Jiaxiang, a cake chef who came out of his hometown to work alone, accidentally brought the humanoid cat Chocolate and Vanilla raised in his hometown to the store, so the warm comedy of one person and two cats began. However, after the player patches it, "Chocolate and Vanilla" will be transformed into another "blood-pumping" work, and I didn't expect everyone to eat so well ten years ago.
>>> "This Is My War"
This War of Mine
Steam Rating: Very Positive (60,927, 94%)
Release date: 2014-11-15
Another anti-war masterpiece released in the same year. In This War of Mine, players will play as innocent civilians caught up in a war, having to risk being hit by stray bullets in search of useful supplies in order to survive, and focus a portion of their attention on things like forging items, trading, and caring for survivors.
The moral choice between doing everything in your power to protect everyone in the Vault or making the necessary sacrifices for your own survival will often result in the fate of a family being inadvertently decided when the player is out searching for supplies. Whenever faced with a question of conscience, I wonder what player can have a clear conscience?
>>> "Dragon Century Judgment"
Dragon Age™ Inquisition
Steam 评价：多半好评（14,657，75%）
Release date: 2014-11-18
Considering that Dragon Age Trials was the winner of the TGA's 2014 Game of the Year award, it was probably a game with a lot of attention at the time, even though it had only received a majority of positive reviews on Steam. However, the game itself does not have Chinese, and players will install Chinese by themselves and will crash and fail to start, so it can only be said that EA is worthy of you.
In order to settle the dispute on the continent of Saidas, players must not only decide who will participate in each battle, but also think about the future of Saidas. Every choice will affect the final outcome, and this highly personalized experience will provide players with a gaming experience unlike any other.
In this continent full of strife, players will defeat those enemies who stand in the way through a real-time combat system, and at the same time suspend the design of adjusting the priority and position of teammates' skills during the battle, which also provides players with strategic considerations, but in terms of playability, it has to be "Dragon Century 1", so players who have not had time to receive the "Dragon Century Trial" given by E treasure, the author does not recommend everyone to buy it.
>>> conclusion
Although 2014 can be called a small year of games, there are many games worth pulling out and talking about, such as "Bayonetta 2", "Mario Kart 8", "Divinity's Original Sin" and other popular works, if you are interested, we will continue to introduce you to those classic masterpieces ten years ago in the next issue, I don't know what you think.
